MrBannystar Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 When I'm either 1st or 2nd, can anyone explain why the outcome of my match is almost always the same as the team either above or below me? Earlier, my team was on fine form but then we drew at home to struggling Altrincham. I check the other scores, 2nd placed Torquay also drew. I decided to test a supposition and replayed the match four times. We lost once and so did Torquay, and we drew three times and, you've guessed it, Torquay also drew three times. Just now, my team was completely outplayed -at home- by Wrexham and lost 3-1. I check the scores, and Torquay have also lost! When we win, they win. When we draw, they draw. When we lose, they lose. The only difference in our fortunes that they demolished us at our home ground! This is a strange phenomena that also happens IRL, but on this scale? I'm not sure I believe in that much coincidence.

anagain Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Coincidence. You won't be the first to suggest the game is fixed. I'm top. I just drew and the second place team won...they went level on points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianJMcGrath Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 4 isn't a good enough sample size either way - for or against. Do 100 and report the results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just drew and the second place team won...they went level on points. HmmmmI didn't want to categorically say that it's fixed, but my suspicions are hardening now that it's just happened AGAIN. We both win 6 on the spin and then both lose. And you misunderstood if you thought I was saying it's impossible to leapfrog another team to go first, but this kind of thing happens too often by my reckoning.

The more you believe something, the more you'll see it. I was convinced earlier that every attack resulted in one of my players being flagged offside. When I looked at the stats it simply wasn't true. Like the guy above said, try it 100 times. If it's identical 100 times then maybe there's a problem.
