YOU have confirmed you are a troll, because I refuse to believe that someone capable of accessing a website, typing a reply and hitting post could be THIS ignorant.

Again, a coin could stand on its edge, or land heads or tails. Are you saying the probability of it landing on its edge is 33%?
We're not talking coins, we're talking free throws.

This is it. I think at this point Colonels has shown us his true intelligence level. I propose we stop trying to refute his stupidity and just ignore him.

What are the odds of drawing a "47" out of 50 numbers, numbered 1 to 50, even if you're keen to selecting "47s"...what are the odds gentlemen? Answer: 2%

The odds of making a free throw are 50-50. Answer: colonels is clueless in mathematics and has lost all credibility



these are all simple questions, with simple answers. You just dont seem to get it. its sad.

There are 2 possible out comes when you shoot a free throw...make or miss...thus the odds of making a free throw are 50-50...this is maybe the most hilarious thread ever now for you guys suggesting that free throws are somehow not 50-50 odds lol.

I believe you boobs are confusing odds with probability.

he obviously does not believe a free throw is 50/50. he is trying to imply that mr polos claim on the fairness of dice rolls is as absurd as his claim that free throws are 50/50 after a guy shoots 90% all season.

colonels, when you play craps you have to throw the dice off the back wall, which is jagged and extremely unpredictable. you can't significantly alter the probability of any of the outcomes. the house margin on craps is SO small, you would very quickly take an advantage over the house. there are billions and billions of dollars a year in those casinos. if you could roll dice to your advantage in a craps game, you can be damn sure the casino would know about it by now and would have done something to stop it. so your analogy really is a not a reasonable one.

This is unbelievable...I didn't think I would ever see guys argue so vehemently against blatant truth in my entire life....oh this one is going down in the archives. The odds of hitting any given free throw are 50-50....LOL!
