An interesting chart but open to interpretation. Those are all major clubs and if they're losing I'd expect the opposing side (who are more likely than not to be the underdog side) to employ time wasting tactics, mostly a 'lack of enthusiasm' in returning the ball into open play at throw ins and goal kicks. A good referee will quite rightly try to add this wasted time onto play at the end of the half. Whoever made that chart has made it with the intention of proving that Fergie Time is A Thing. This downloadable spreadsheet shows that for 2010/11 and 2011/12 Manchester United were 14th and 17th respectively in total added time and when looking at goals scored in the 90th+ minute they were 19th out of 44 Premier League teams by percentage of goals scored since 1992. That's pretty middle of the road. That sheet doesn't show time added when winning/losing though. For your chart to be more interesting I'd like it to show the stats for all the teams in that season, not just the Big Six.

What's depressing is that the BJP could just say "since we came to power, less people are making GBS threads outside" and it'd get swing voters to them pretty well. Even if the BJP-led local governments have done poo poo all.

Even taking into account Colorado teams being better playing at high elevation they still don't have the home ice advantage of Los Angeles and Anaheim (which is basically Los Angeles).

NHL refs hate the fans and like it when they are mad, which helps counteract the noise factor somewhat.

I'm surprised at the low variance in Baseball, given the lack of a fixed field size/back wall geometry, but it's a weird sport that I'm used to not making intuitive sense

CannonFodder posted:I'm surprised that Home Ice is not as important as Home Court. Especially when some arenas are Home Ice and Home Court, and have equally loud fans. Is it because the barriers around the ice hockey rink drown out the noise for the players? First point: hockey is a much lower scoring sport than basketball, so winning % varies less between the best and worst teams. Second point: hockey players rotate on and off the ice frequently, which would mitigate the effect of altitude somewhat.

Is it because the barriers around the ice hockey rink drown out the noise for the players? One aspect might be that the luck plays a much bigger role in hockey so the numbers are more likely to slip towards 0.500 (despite the rule that gives the home team the last change during the stoppages, which can be a pretty major systematic advantage).

Some slots allow you to get a tiny extra bonus via skill, e.g., a minigame that lets you collect coins worth 1 penny each as you swim through a cave... and then find a treasure chest with 400 more, so you get between 0-20 from skill and the lion's share from a rng. They're not common though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZtQ3Z07UlM&t=170s You can also affect your payout by picking games that have a statistically high amount on the progressive jackpot, but you'd really need to know the underlying math and settings to get the most out of it. Keep an eye out for "Must hit by" progressives, they can add somewhere between 0.5 and 1% of your bet to the progressive, and have a chance of hitting equal to increment size/(Max-Current Amount) So if it's at $400 must hit by $500, and it goes up by 1 cent per spin, you have a 1 in 10,000 chance per spin. If it's at $490, you have an 1 in 1000 chance on your next spin, and at $499, you have a 1 in 100 chance.  Don't play slots

Yeah I didn't say you could affect things a lot. But "at all" puts it ahead of roulette.

Zereth posted:I believe a lot of modern slot machines have stuff you can manipulate beyond just "Pull lever, get result" these days, while roulette is still completely out of the player's hands unless they're cheating somehow. I know there's a law in Japan that requires slot machines to have a slight skill component, usually in the form of "press button to manually stop the reel" but it's heavily loopholed (the timing between when the button is pressed and when the reel actually stops does not need to be consistent). So I guess in a sense that's a skill thing but I'm pretty sure most slot machines still follow the classic model. Plus regardless of how skill-based a slot machine design seems to be, internally they ALL have a counter that determines whether or not the current play will actually be allowed to win. If you're on a "non-winning" game, then it will fudge your results to be JUST off no matter how well you actually perform. This is also true of a lot of those bar/arcade games you see where the top prize is like a new iPhone or something. There's a good video that demonstrates this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXBfwgwT1nQ where he built a machine that would literally play perfectly and it would still often lose. Oh, also bear in mind that the internal "allowed to win" value only actually prevents you from winning on perfect play. It doesn't do anything to force a win on a game that IS decided to allow you to win. So if you gently caress up on a game you would have been allowed to win, you still lose.

Seriously though, go look at websites of Indian companies, they put pictures of people in the weirdest places. And if Fox News fakes some graph, they don't put a picture of Trump on top of it.

Maybe not, but I still want an answer to my question, why do they put photos of people everywhere in places where other cultures don't? I think that's a legit interesting question, it's prob due to some deep cultural difference I don't know about.
