Marble racing.

The O'Rangers are finished. Been struggling for a while.

Also the Savage Speeders need investigating. It makes no sense how they are always so fast.

This is basically done by an American in his basement. He could quite easily do several of the same race, and only post the outcomes he wants. Hence why some teams always seem to do well.

Assuming all marbles are of the same weight and size, you would expect a very random outcome all the time. I personally believe it is, and having watched a lot of it, there certainly is an element of randomness in the outcomes. The cynic in me has noticed that the guy sells merchandise. So it's in his interest for certain teams to do well.

Eventually, money runs everything

Ha I dont know about that! Crazy Cats Eyes dominated the last Marbula 1 season, if he was fixing it you would see a closer competition.

Certain marbles probably do have very slight differences in make up though, weight, sheen etc just from how they are made.

Also he is Dutch isn't he?

Agreed. There is plenty of randomness in the outcomes for me to believe it is down to the individual marbles. In fact, I'd even go as far to say that he probably runs the teams from the same pack of marbles (ie. Crazy Cats Eyes all come from the same pack, Thunderbolts all come from the same pack, etc.), hence why the marbles from the same teams all seem to perform consistently.

For the record, I don't believe it's fixed in the slightest, I was just pointing out how easily it could be.

You're probably right about him being Dutch. I assumed it was himself commentating, so he that's where I got the impression he was American from lol
