Laws of probability are great fun. Once told a group of adults that if I did the lottery I would choose 1,2,3,4,5,6 as my numbers. They then told me I should spread them out to have more chance of winning!
Anybody ever experienced a fiddle at a draw?
I was once offered my choice of peg after arriving late for one match but obviously refused and asked to draw properly.
Another incident saw a match organiser come to draw the last peg after everybody else had drawn and I offered to draw his peg from the bag. Oh dear, no peg in the bag and it was a good un. I suspect it was an honest mistake but you never know!
There are some matches where the pegs are engraved on metal discs. A bit of careful feeling around and Im sure you could gain an advantage.
