By that logic, an EST member should have won the lottery too. After all, there's bound to be someone.Originally posted by Neil Young View Post
There was bound to be someone on the internet who called it right.
Rafa's selections are usually something else though.
Bit coincidental that the someone happened to start that thread though and actually speak of a leak, rather than just call their thread 'CL draw predictions'...

That's not really logic DJ. If EST existed for long enough, with enough people being members, you would expect a lottery winner.Originally posted by DJS View PostBy that logic, an EST member should have won the lottery too. After all, there's bound to be someone.

Now I haven't looked for the number of threads that said, it's fake, LFC will play Man Utd, but they may exist. Even if they don't, it's not as far out a guess as picking a 1 in 14 odd million for the lottery.
And co-incidences are quite common with odds liket these, surely.Trey Nyoni: countdown to stardom-2 years1year0.5 years

It was just your tone (like normal). You're making it sound like we have no chance against Arsenal whilst if we'd been drawn against Shalke it would be a piece of piss.Originally posted by DJS View PostWhat are you on about reece? Freak results can obviously happen but anyone with half an ounce of sense knows that the probability of beating Schalke is far higher.

The odds of winning the lottery are 14,000,000 to 1. The odds of correctly predicting the four ties are quite a lot less than that.
And you can't exactly say that conspiracy theorising is unknown on the internet. Some people seem to think that's what it's for. I mean, isn't that what you're doing now?
So it doesn't seem that much of a coincidence to me.
What your guess about a conspiracy fails to take into account is that if it ever came out how much of a scandal would it be? Do you really think the conspiracy could be kept quiet forever? Do you really think Michel Platini is going to risk serving time in a prison and being completely ruined just because he doesn't like Liverpool?.
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.
