Darren Appleton Video: "Banned! My Story"

Lol that what I call a dumb ass answer. Answer the freaking question if you know what it is.

I haven't done the math, but Appleton said that SVB has never been tested ever. If that's true, the odds of that happening are incredibly small given the number of final 16s he has made.

Dude, I went to school for statistics. I’m not the one that threw up 1/625. I’ll leave dumb ass answers to you.
 
So, if he’s one of 16 players in the group, and 4 get chosen, he has a 1 in 4 chance of being chosen. If he makes the final 4, and they choose one to test, he also has a 1 in 4 chance of being chosen. To figure out the odds of him being chosen BOTH times, you multiply the probabilities. So, 1/4 x 1/4 = drum roll…..1/16, or the same answer that DDC gave.

I’d love to know how the hell you even got a denominator of 625….

Yes, but these are new times. SVB, for practically his entire career, played in just a few tier one WPA sanctioned events, primarily just the World Pool Championship, the US Open 9-ball, the China Open and the All-Japan, so at most four events a year.

In 2022, you have to add to these the five CSI/Predator 10-ball Tour events, the World 10-ball, the UK Open, the European Open and the World 8-ball, so there are now 13 tier one WPA sanctioned events on the world pool calendar.

Hence, testing is a far bigger issue in 2022 than it has ever been during SVB's career.

I believe I gave the 1/16 answer brite boy. I knew the 1/625 was incorrect and was going to edit the post and I saw you responded to it so I didn't bother.
 
For the mathematicians out there, what's the probability of being picked twice in a row if 4 out of 16 are chosen each time? 1/625?

To me, the picking has to be more transparent and done in public by random draw. Just don't sneak up on someone and tell them you are a winner...twice 😁😁
Sorry. Didn’t read your message correctly. Thought it said 1/625.
 
Putting question marks behind it showed a ton of confidence.
Probability has never been my favorite topic/subject. It's easy to understand that the probability of being picked in one event is 1/4. My question is what is the probability of being chosen twice in two consecutive events. Is it 1/16 or (1/4 if it can be argued that the two events are totally independent) or something else?

Depends on what round he is chosen to be tested, and how many other players there are. I thought he was chosen twice during the same event? I really haven’t dove into the topic, as I really don’t care that much.
 
Pure Bulls**T to test during a Tournament and I don't blame him for getting pissed.
Shame on WPA & Matchroom for having anything to do with this. Darrin did nothing wrong!
They don't think it was wrong changing the balls or the color of the felt either. Bunch of Idiots!!!!!

He was drawn in two separate events so that's what my question is based on.

Well, if you hadn’t called me “brite boy”, I may have wanted to help you. But seeing as you just want to have a “measuring contest”, figure it out with someone else.
