Lol you still think he's lying?

Yes.

If it is genuinly some mathmatical formula i bet there are some pretty pissed off mathmaticians out there who didn't figure out how to predict the lottery before a tv showman.

Yes.

It won't be a guaranteed formula IMO. It's still random, so that mathmatitian would have to keep doing the same thing with the same 25 people till one day it happened. It probably won't work for the next lottery.

In wrestling owners use actors and plants to try and convince people watching that what they see is genuine.

Interesting mate. Hypnotising those people like? He's left it up in the air too hahaha

I still think it's not a funky camera trick, especially the ones YouTube keep saying cos it can't be done.

It's still a mystery hahaha

Completely unconvincing and frustrating.

To sit through 55 minutes of drivel for him to put forward a slightly more plausible, yet still bullshit fixing claim was thoroughly annoying.

The only misleading he did was to convince the nation he was going to predict the lottery, and then subsequently explain how he did it. He failed on both accounts.

Had you watching though. The best magic tricks are the ones that leave you scratching your head.

Quality tv that. People are still going to be theorising over it and everyone will have their own exlanation they agree with.

I knew he'd do a maths angle though.

Thought it was interesting to be honest.

Especially the coin bit, interesting how it was manipulated.

There was no maths involved with his 'explanation', nor was there anything left to theorise over, other than 'so what camera trick did he really employ?'

Used to be a fan aswell.

Yes, that's interesting, because that's an actual thing you can do. He's not manipulating the odds of his choice coming out, just that he'll pick something more likely than the other person. Which unfortunately had nothing to do with how he said he did the lottery. So pointless really.

He didn't say why the numbers were not revealed in front of a live audience on Wednesday.

Nor why he used 1 handheld camera at the front of the stage yet showed one fixed camera at the back at the start of the show.

Nor why a professional Channel 4 production had a shaky screen.


Nor why he didn't show the balls numbered before the draw. (Cause showing the numbers he came up with as a result of what he said happened with this whole people in a room writing down numbers business would not of breached any legality that BBC have to show the results first).

Convienent that.

I'm sure by this time tomorrow plenty of people will of debunked his reasoning tonight.
