I meant it had similarities to the lottery. Vastly different but ....with the lottery, whilst you cannot change the probability of winning, you can maximise the money you win by picking numbers nobody else does. i.e. avoid lucky numbers, birthdays and nice patterns on the ticket and you will share your winnings for 4, 5 or 6 numbers with less people.Zimmerman wrote: ↑28 Aug 2017, 09:05 It's not the same is it?
Lottery needs you to hit the exact combination (at however million to one).
Whereas in this, you just need to outscore all your opponents. We've got players (as we can see from this tread) fancy their chances of competing entering just 5, 10 or however many teams. Imagine if they had the means (time, resources and whatever tools they wanted at their disposal) to enter 500 teams. They'd fancy their chances even more wouldn't they? Obviously it doesn't guarantee a win and managing that many teams is a skill in itself.
Similarly if Sandor covers unlikely blocks or players he will have less opposition on the leaderboard when that comes off. If one of his blocks gets a CS on Saturday lunchtime (him and 100s of others) he can cover all Saturday 3pm blocks whereas your typical MOTM player will go for the statistically more likely. So if the only block to get a 3pm CS is Burnley at Man Utd then Sandor has it covered and not many others will be up there with him.
This is good for monthly or weekly success but not so great for seasonal play as I said earlier:
Any statistical advantage he may have... is surely outweighed by a) needing to avoid decent player bias and b) the sheer focus on an individual team by a single or minor-multi entrant.
