| 281927 | 2009-02-20 02:17:00 | How could Survivor be rigged? They vote people out at every tribal and there are surprises when people get blind sided. Another Elvis is still alive, Princess Dis driver was jober as a sudge, 911 was CIA plot, Lady dried cat out in microwave, Harold Holt taken away in Soviet submarine. Christ whats next in the conspiracy theories. Nice ones, you were meant to ask how the hell they rig lotto, probably would be easier than rigging Survivor. I was watching lotto about 5 years ago and Hillary (:drool) was calling the numbers out when number 21 came out she said "12" but then corrected herself straight after. Guess what the next number was!!! You can say coiincendence but what would be the odds of that? :2cents: And survivor - why do you never see any cameras? Because they are all paid actors??? hmmmm |

| 281930 | 2009-02-20 06:52:00 | Well Derren Brown got six straight winners in horse racing using "The system"", so I reckon if anyone can swing the lotto odds it is him. Otherwise - lotto tickets are generally a waste of money. |

| 281931 | 2009-02-20 08:41:00 | Muzzargh. I dont disagree at all however I DO re-iterate the following bearing in mind that the odds are always stacked against you (that's how gambling works) and the chances of winning are much lower than the chances of losing, and even then the chances of winning BIG are FAR lower than the chances of losing also: It's hard enough getting 6 numbers out of a list of 20 let alone 9. If I could get 6 out of 9 I would want to get 1st div not just 5th or 6th. |

| 281933 | 2009-02-25 10:37:00 | I’ve been thinking about patterns within a random process and have decided that there are none, that’s why they call it random. Then I was thinking about a coin toss having a 50/50 chance of being “heads” or “tails”. If you toss a coin 1000 times you will get pretty close to 500 heads and 500 tails. I don’t know what the proper word is for it yet but I think it’s called probability. So if you have tossed a coin 1000 times and you have 490 heads and 510 tails, and although the chance of getting a head or tail in the next toss is 50/50 the “probability” must slightly favour getting a head? | Muzzargh (6289) | ||

No - it's still 50:50. Every time. Lotteries are for the mathematically-challenged... |

| 281935 | 2009-03-02 09:34:00 | Yes, the Chance is 50/50 as I said, I'm talking about Probability. | Muzzargh (6289) | ||
| 281936 | 2009-03-02 09:42:00 | You don't even know what you're talking about. For a fair coin, p(H) = p(T) = 0.5 It doesn't matter how many times you've tossed it before and what it's landed on. It's still a 50% chance. Or, the probability of flipping tails is 50%. (Seeing as you seem to think using a different word will somehow influence the coin.) |
