Poker requires skill, not just luck.

kp2171 agrees: absolutely. some people dont understand games of skill that involve random drawings versus random drawings alone.

My point exactly. But still there is a concept of luck involved. U can play your cards that the odds will be in your favour almost all of the time but at the end u ll have a - net flow due to luck. U play poker capuchin?

I once had a fortune teller plot numbers for me and she swore that 75% of the numbers would result in wins. Not even one of the series she gave me won a nickel.

Hello guy:

Letting the computer select, of course. You DO KNOW that the computer IS connected to the lottery headquarters. Therefore, the computer knows what numbers are going to come up. When you buy your ticket, the computer has a camera, a voice stress analyzer and face recognition technology. The computer then decides, based upon your high school record, who should win.

Did you do well in Algebra 101?

Im just curious, that if you were to roll six dice, wouldnt your chance of getting six of a kind on the first roll be the same as getting a straight on te first roll [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Interestingly enough however, if you've ever played the game 10,000 you'll notice that you'll roll far many more straights than you'll ever roll six of kind on the first roll, if ever at all. Not that i believe this, but it's almost as if numbers have a mind of their own.

Comments on this post
iamthetman disagrees: Actually this isn't true. The probability of getting 6 of a kind in one roll is 6/46,656 while the probability of getting a straight on the first roll is 360/46,656
