We calculate the likelihood map in the full 7-dimensional parameter space of the minimal supersymmetric standard model assuming universal boundary conditions on the supersymmetry breaking terms. Simultaneous variations of m(0), A(0), M-1/2, tan beta, m(t), m(b) and alpha(s)(M-Z) are applied using a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. We use measurements of b -> s gamma, (g-2)(mu) and Omega(DM)h(2) in order to constrain the model. We present likelihood distributions for some of the sparticle masses, for the branching ratio of B-s(0)->mu(+)mu(-) and for m(tau)-m(chi 10). An upper limit of 2x10(-8) on this branching ratio might be achieved at the Tevatron, and would rule out 29% of the currently allowed likelihood. If one allows for non-thermal-neutralino components of dark matter, this fraction becomes 35%. The mass ordering allows the important cascade decay (q) over tilde (L)->chi(0)(2)->(l) over tilde (R)->chi(0)(1) with a likelihood of 24 +/- 4%. The stop-coannihilation region is highly disfavored, whereas the light Higgs region is marginally disfavored.
