We make sure to complain when things don't go our way and whine that we should have more control. On the flip side, if things are going our way, we are completely fine with the system. No one is going to complain about the low chances of winning the Powerball lottery if they win it. But you will hear whining from 99.9999% of the other players about how much money they've wasted playing the Powerball over the years. I've had a rough year with the waiver system. The best player I've won was a 6 claim player about a week ago. But I think the system is ok the way it is. That being said, I do think the 2 tier system would be an improvement. But I don't want to start that debate again.

All I did was provide an example of a perceived statistical bias for a previous comment. Period. I simply provided some commentary in addition which you are getting all butt-hurt about. I understood when I was five years old that if a coin lands on head, there's still a 50 percent chance that it lands on heads again. Updated Wednesday, August 5 2015 @ 1:45:22 pm PDT

Rock777 Joined: 09/21/2014 Posts: 9588 Haverhill Halflings III.1	? I think I was responding to Gizmo... Who didn't get incensed... When did you mention the law of averages Mig? The fact is there are a LOT of people on these boards who are victims of the Gamblers Fallacy. I was just taking the opportunity to point out that its a fallacy for the general good. Believe me, you are in the majority from what I've seen. The "Law" of averages is a very common misconception. Kind of like the "Law" of relativity. Or Moore's "Law." We call a lot of things "Laws" that aren't really laws. Updated Wednesday, August 5 2015 @ 4:20:15 pm PDT
