Hint:NBA Rigging Lottery To Give Knicks #1 Pick

[tastystaci]

Hey Niko and Gobb, the odds on hawks beating the cavs before the series started http://blog.skytowercasino.com/st/wo...d-predictions/

that means if you bet the hawks for a $100, you would win $1400. That's a 14-1 dog. Not even 20-1. Ask anybody if they think the Hawks beating the Cavs would've been a miracle. I'm gonna give you the Happy Gilmore at this point...Jackass!

Im not predicting it solely for this year, there is a track record of things like this happening when regarding the NBA Lottery so by me assuming there is a conspiracy is not out of the realm of imagination.


Sure.

Yet you've come in with dead set beliefs against there even being any type of tweaking of a supposed Lottery and have spent pages arguing against my beliefs that there is a tweaking of the Lottery.
Why continue on, The only reason why I'm even responding is because I created this thread to discuss this, anything different I would of stopped responding with your biased argument.


If she ends up becoming smarter than you, would that not be a miracle?

Because i am so intelligent that she'd only have a 5% chance? ****, i think she's smarter than me now, she's 26 months and speaks 2 languages. i speak 1.5

Nah, i'm no genius. But i'm logical. The world unfortunately turns every day and good things happen, and bad things happen, but in general the big dark hand running things in the back doesn't explain variability (and probability), nature does.

The NBA has gone to great lengths to explain how the lottery works and they have people auditing the process who couldn't afford to be cheating it, and people watching who wouldn't accept it being flawed. Add to that a lot of the situations you indicated as the league manipulating things not really being in the league's benefit but you rationalizing it away as such.

Sorry, your argument has tons of assumptions, but very little substance.

the world laughs at american schools, this is why. we can't do math, and you give examples based on betting and quotes from bad movies.

i actually may be too smart for this board, although i'm not going to post any cool pictures like dullah did.

You believe you shot down my argument because you had 1 person quote you and agree.

Not many sensible fans are entering this topic and commenting. If anything they are asking why I am even entertaining such a retard.

I've even got repped for my posts in this thread owning you.

The sad part is no matter who wins the lottery you have a conspiracy theory for it.

I would be surprised and happy if the Knicks win the lottery yes. But declaring it a miracle is a bit farfetched. Every year i wait for it to happen. It never does.

OK.

A 5% chance means 1 in 20, it doesn't mean if you roll the dice (assuming the dice had 20 sides) you hit the 20th of 20 times. It means, on average, you roll your number once out of the 20 times. Could be the first time, could be the last time.

Yet its unexpected when considering the odds, which you refuse to accept.

So what happens when it doesn't stick to chance and you roll your number more than once when on average you should roll it once, that is unexpected or a miracle if you base things by odds only.

But it hasn't happened yet. You think maybe someday it could happen. So it happening now (and it probably wouldn't happen again for quite some time) fits reasonably as a possible scenario.

Surprised yes. ITS A MIRACLE, PRAISE BE TO JESUS! No, not really.

So now we head to the year 2008 when Chicago, who had a 1.7% chance wins the lottery.

Is that not a miracle?

Now how about 2 straight years where a team that had a 5% chance or lower wins the Lottery.

YOurs has far less substance than ours. The burden of proof is on the accused in this instance, because the wall of secrecy stands in the way of the prosecution.

you remind me of In Living Color, were those guys in jail? And they'd throw out big words and talk real slow? And think it meant something?

This is the second long sentence you've written that is basically off topic gibberish. Anything else?

To Interminator:

Are you being serious here?

[niko]

OK.

the knicks don't roll once though. they roll and lose every year. you want this to be a singular occurance, it's not. trust me i know. every single year we are in the 7-11 ish range and every year we pick 7-11ish. By your logic we should never be able to win the lottery because that would be the year we hit the miracle and the year the league cheated. it's honestly bizarre.

Even before 1991 they rigged it certain years, when major talents Stern felt needed to go to certain major markets.
From a business perspective, the perception of fairness and honesty is far more important than actual fairness and honesty, and I wasn't complaining last year when my squad got the #1 pick against all math/law of everages, and got the hometown narrative that will last for a decade or more, in many markets other than my own.

Yes and the owners that got screw just sit and smile. Yes the guys with fortunes spent in their teams are counting that morons like you tell it like it is.

Cleveland , Orlando, Milwalkee, Portland, Toronto, yes major markets indeed, yes your IQ is great

The sad part is with the lottery being "rigged" for NY every year, eventually NY will get lucky and then there will be no stfu possible for the morons.

You remind me of that kid in the back of the class, thinking he's smarter than everyone. 10 years later you're delivering pizzas to my front door.

You forgot the mushrooms you dumb sonofa*****!

I love how you boost your ego from other posters' agreeing with you, that doesn't mean it makes your opinion fact, it just shows there are others as dumb as you are.

I can have a conspiracy theory for everything, but I dont.

Certain things I believe and others I dont, I have already developed an opinion for my belief which can't be argued with fact because there are no facts proven,unless Interminator puts the balls into the machine runs the machine himself and witnesses the outcome.Then I will be proven that the Lottery is an actual Lottery, and not a rigged Lottery front for David Stern,Nike,& Adidas to better promote premier prospects by placing them in certain situations to help balance the league.

Once again, your opinion is your own, and my opinion is my own, some people believe yours and some people believe mines.

The number of people who agree with you doesn't make your opinion Fact unless its proven.

Pull up another thread where I posted in and bait, I'll respond later.

[niko]

If you don't understand what that meant and thaught it was gibberish you're not very intelligent son. THe league is the accused, and I AM the prosecution. Read it again f@#tard.

THE TRUTH!! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

It's from happy gilmore i think or some other fine american movie...

The burden of proof on an accusation is on the accuser, not the accused. You have no proof, just accusations. But your premise is based on people not being able to prove you are wrong. No one does.

That's what's wrong with most conspiracy theorists, they think it's the other way around so they just spout on and on. It's not.

The law of averages can get beaten in fairness, but always comes back around to average things out.

You do know that the team with the worst record just got 25% chance of winning? That means there are a 75% chance of being other team winning he lottery, so explain how the law of averages are getting beat?

yes awesome IQ !!
