The odds on not getting the first pick in 50 drafts is 1.3 in a hundred 1.3% chance

The odds on not getting one of the first 3 picks in 23 live drafts is 1.3 in a thousand 0.13% chance

For no first picks in 70 drafts you are up to 2.3 per thousand or 0.23%

I've done 23 LIVE drafts and NEVER had a TOP 3 PICK!!!! Had the 4th pick twice! Had the 10th pick 4 times, 11th pick 4 times and 12th pick.....yes......4 times!!! Let's see here......Half of the time I get a pick #4 thru #9, the other half of the time #10 thru #12 and NEVER #1 thru #3........The odds of not having a TOP 3 pick in 23 drafts have got to be ASTRONOMICAL.....yes I keep a stupid log on minutia like this. :? :cry: :roll:


Well a month has passed and I decided to return to my VOMIT.....the Friday night LIVE draft........YAHOO1.....for just the 2nd time eVer I got the 5th pick in tonight's draft!!!!

2nd BEST Live draft position.....I'm so stoked! That means I'll get either Mantle or Gibson!

BTW - SALTY started the League and YES......he did manage to get the 12th pick! I SWEAR HAL has cast a POX on us chosen few to NEVER pick at the TOP in LIVE drafts.....but I'll take 5th any time!
