It's A Quote

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

First time I heard that quote I was actually studying statistics.

He told as an anecdote something like :" In the city of Glasgow , ministers of The Church Of Scotland recently received a 10% rise. For the same period, local police have advised that arrests for solicitation went up 17%"

Same teacher gave this advice " Never play poker with a statistician". Have never played enough poker to verify that claim.

I don't play poker because I DO know the odds, and am shit at bluffing. Plus, money is hard enough to come by to take a chance on losing it in a game of chance.

Poker isn’t a game of chance, not exactly. It’s better described as a game of skill with a moderate element of chance, especially in any of the forms of stud poker.

I’ve been teaching optimists not to draw to an inside straight for years.
