If it was that much luck, then minor leaguers would have as much success as the best - such is obviously not the case.

I am NOT saying it is 100% luck, otherwise we would all have a chance at it. yes there is some skill. But out of all sports, it has a very very high percentage of luck involved. if you cant see it for yourself then you have issues.

Everything from smoking 4 balls straight at fielders, blooping hits, bad bounces, balls landing just inside or outside the foul line, swinging bunts, bad umpire calls.

as you said, hittin the round bat with the round ball brings luck in the game.

We havent even talked about pitchers and players turning up on the day.

Hirschfelder is a deadset moron, he said if Suzuki was up, he wouldnt have even hit the ball cause he is a .190 hitter, implying cause he has such a low avg he wasnt gonna hit it. Is that right? I just showed him Ludwick hitting the go ahead single today where Ludwick is hitting .116.

The only conclusion i can make, is that he works for a bookmaker and wants everyone on here or whoever to keep having this false belief that when they win it is there own capping research etc that caused that win, leaving the individual to feel empowered. Once the individual realises that alot of luck is involved, they are less likely to bet again. That is why people choose sport as opposed to roulette, cause they feel they KNOW about the sport, players etc etc, where as in reality, most of the time, it is no different to red or black. Not head to heads in terms of $1.20 or $1.30 teams , but run lines, overs under etc. Look at last week, i had under in the Panthers raiders game, with 5 secs left, the grubber hits the post and Petro dives on it, pure LUCK

I backed the Kings Punjab the other night at $3. They were chasing 180 odd, that little opener when on about 25 runs, top edged a shot that landed between 3 players. He ended up scoring 120 and wonm the game. Every chance if he gets out they lose. Its as simple as that

Boy, if this wasnt a public site, the shit i can say that non of you know about.

I mean NON of you KNOW ABOUT. You all think the world is a little pretty place, where people even earning $50k to $500k a year are simply content with that.........

I aint gonna name anything on here, but if you ALL honestly believe when you watch an NRL game it is 100% legit......then i feel sorry for you.

Cmon mate, Fixing doesnt happen in sport.

Tim Donaghy was doing it for 7 years, but it doesnt happen.

David Stern and co for 7 years didnt know about it.....

Tim DOnaghy only got caught by accident, the FBI were investigating something else and only came acrross him by chance. Otherwise he would still be doing it.

But hang on, there is no more cheating or fixing in the NBA, how do i know this? Cause Stern said so..... cause the internal controls of the NBA organisation detected it and caught Donaghy so i can trust Stern, oh wait, no they didnt , they didnt even know about it. But they dont do it anymore cause he said so.

But surely the NRL's internal policy, procedures are better than those of the NBA......., oh hang on, they dont have one. Oh yes they do, when the Roosters cows game came up, Annesly said nothing happened. Thats good enough for me, so it should be good enough for you.

The police are clutching at straws even though Tandy's was the most obvious ever. Imagine what the smoothest operations do.....

You fucking crack me up

"According to Pro Trade stats , Ichiro is one of the luckier players in the league, BUT there is a footnote, Because of his great speed to first, he is the RARE player that has the skill to create his own LUCK"

Hirschfelder......

Just keep believing you are in control of it son, just keep believing you are in control of it.

Daniel Nava , bottom of the 9th, 2 on, 2 out, down on strikes, score is 2 all, hits a bloop that lands between 1st baseman, right fielder and inches from the foul line with the ball no more than 3 feet from all 3 factors i just mentioned for the Red sox to win....

Pythagorean exp predicting this.....

hey, we HAVENT EVEN STARTED TO TALK ABOUT WHETHER PITCHERS AND BATTERS "Turn up" or not yet.

That is another kettle of fish
