third try in -> "Dallas has won the draft lottery and will draft 7th overall..." WHAT?

edit: yes I do realize this is possible.

 

[danishh]

anyways, i think something up with the odds. Its a php app so no-one can see the code, but i doubt its accurate.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

WINNER:
The New York Islanders have won the lottery and will draft second overall. The Islanders move up four spots, from sixth to second.

I only wish

 

[Skraut]

lol only took me about 10

I've literally got the Blue Jackets about 15 times out of 50.

And there's a thread on the Blue Jackets board how some of us have gone 50 times and never had the Jackets win it once.

anyways, i think something up with the odds. Its a php app so no-one can see the code, but i doubt its accurate.

If I was cruel, I'd probably have it detect the geolocation of your IP and make sure the team closest to you rarely came up. Judging from some of the comments in this thread, it makes you wonder...

Wow thats really weird, I got the same and I did the simulator 5 min after you

EDIT: Others seem to have the same results too

 

[VelvetJones]

Maybe it's just setting us Oiler fans up for a loss. 10x, Oilers didnt win once.

I am addicted to trying this link though!

anyways, i think something up with the odds. Its a php app so no-one can see the code, but i doubt its accurate.

It wouldn't be hard to set up. Grab a random number that's between 0 and 1001 (so 1, 2, 3 ... 999, 1000)

Assign 250 of the values to Edmonton
188 of the values to Boston
142 of the values to Tampa
And so on.

 

[BraveNewWild]

First try I had St. Louis winning it! Which resulted in them knocking the Wild out of the 9th spot

God I hope that doesn't happen...

 

[Alberta]
