On average, on a large scale, yes it generates expected results.

Then it is working. If you are expecting better odds making than can be achieved through statistics you need to be fixing games.

For any data set, one can determine which variables affect the results significantly, and which don't. Once you know that, more data is more impactful than more specificity in the data, on variables that don't make much difference. If Fargo has done the math, then they are likely at the best compromise available. Since they are seeing, as you claim, expected results on average, then we can conclude they are doing it right.

If we could always determine in advance who would win, it wouldn't be much fun to watch.

Thank you kindly.

Went back to ''doing em by hand''.
Sold the lathe yrs ago.
35 yrs by hand.... Anywho don't have to drive anywhere.
Tables in my back yard.

Doesn't take long on the counter with a good light, and 2 Brand new new razor blades.
They cut the layered tips like a butter knife, you can feel each cut.
You never nick the ferrule and the tips is always ''flush'' with the ferrule, and no ferrule nicks.
It takes time w/o a lathe, but doing the side cuts of your tip, gives you a real ''feel'' for the leathers density.... Moist/Dry/Hard/Perfect.?
