Surely this will guarantee a Penalty on Boxing Day! https://bristolcitypenalty.co.uk/ The law of averages is just that, I once span number 32 4 times in a row when I worked in a casino it cost them thousands, the odds on it happening are nearly two million to one but just occasionally these anomaly's happen, live long enough and we might even be awarded a penalty in 4 successive games, IT will happen one day.

Haha yes! Not one to moan but when you add some of our penalty claims into the mix it really is perplexing - Anyone got that Alex Scott one v QPR to hand??

I think the record I saw was 27 six times, and as I remember no one had a big bet on it. Long runs of Reds or Blacks were common, but often went without comment unless someone was betting the outside chances. It's something the average punter fails to understand, as a colleague of mine used to say to those who bet based on history.

Nomad Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 Who was the last against and did we score? My mathematics tell me is was just before HT after a 3pm kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Don't ask the wheel what the last number was, it doesn't have a memory" Very true, I used to have people on my tables sit there for ages writing down the numbers that came up, I unfortunately wasn't able to indulge in small talk with the punters or I would have said to them the numbers really do come up randomly, the wheels were tested for accuracy being level etc often and at random times to make sure of complete honesty for the punters, but wow 6 times I bet that croupier was popular with the casino I thought my experience was rare enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh1t_ref_again Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 Trouble is it will be such a big thing we have actually been awarded a penalty, who ever takes its bound to do a Harry and smash it over the bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denbury Red Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 You’d like to hope the players are still practising to take a penalty even though they’ve not had to put their practise into action for over a year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelbcfc Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 We will get one eventually. It will be in the 90th minute when we're already 4-0 down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richwwtk Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 It's currently 56 competitive matches without a penalty. I believe the record is 73 matches held by Port Vale. They got two in the match that broke that run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well statistically I guess, how many games we’ve gone since a penalty has no bearing on how likely we are to get one today 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Is that graph still around that shows the number of minutes a club has to play in order to get a penalty? I remember seeing one a few months ago but Incant find where it came from. It looked at clubs throughout Europe. Because what that showed iirc was that even the 400+ days since Coventry isn’t some freak oddity - we got penalties just as rarely before then too. For quite some time now we’ve been the least likely club in Europe to get a penalty. Edited December 26, 2022 by italian dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
