TheScarf Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Take it there's no seeding in this? Just all in for each section. ICT v Dunfermline suggests not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Yeah, why not. If even the Colts boycott Colts it might cause some sort of rift in the space-time continuum that destroys the twats who organised this competition. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one major flaw in your argument Bully Wee is thinking that anyone at Hampden gives one single f**k about what the fans of 40 clubs think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee United fans will be fucked off if they lose I expect they'll put out a very young side too. They can't really afford to do otherwise, no matter how unlikely a defeat would be for a strong team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flash Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 1 hour ago, craigkillie said: I doubt this is actually a thing - when there are 24 balls in the pot for each draw, it's not all that surprising that you'll sometimes get a group of consecutive numbers which are close together. There's also an observation bias present - it's more likely that you notice when the balls are one number apart, but don't notice when they're not. It wasn’t just that the numbers were grouped together, it was the fact that the higher numbers came out first. In the north draw, the sequence was 20, 9, 17, 19, 24 and 23. So 4 of the 6 highest numbers drawn first. I think the south draw looked more skewed - the first half was 47, 46, 37, 28, 38, 36, 41, 30, 42, 45, 48, 43. Of the first 12 numbers picked, 7 were from the highest 8 and only 2 from the lowest 8 meaning the second 12 numbers drawn had 1 from the highest 8 and 6 from the lowest 8. In addition, there was the “bunching” of 36, 37 and 38 as well as 41, 42, 43, 45 and 48. Obviously, the sample is too small to draw any conclusions, but this kind of thing happens too often to be coincidence imo. On this occasion, I think the higher numbers were in the centre of the bowl and therefore more likely to be picked first. The pickers swirled them around, but it made no real difference. They were always going to pick from the centre and if the higher numbers had settled there, they were more likely to be chosen first. Sometimes it is different with 1 v 36 followed by 35 v 2 followed by 18 v 19 being the kind of pattern. But it happens all the time, particulalry in the early rounds. They need to mix the balls up before they put them in the bowl, imo. However, I accept that I might be seeing patterns that don’t exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't. They started sponsoring it when the format changed to include the Colts, Welsh and Irish teams so they were well aware of what was happening. They might even have had some input into the cross border format but that's just supposition. This coming season is the last of the three year deal so will be interesting to see if they renew or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd totally back the club just pulling out tbh. If that is going to result in a fine or some other punishment then send our youth team and treat it as a friendly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
