December 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2001 If you are a follower of Australian Rugby League [NRL] and Formula One, I hope you don't follow both the St George Illawarra Dragons and Michael Schumacher. If you do, you will notice a disturbing pattern out there, worthy of the X-files. For the last 18 months or so, everytime Michael has won a race, the dragons have lost their game! No matter who they are playing, or where. Maybe Michael is the secret weapon player for the Dragons and when he wins, he is too tired to prop up the football team? Or maybe there is a conspiracy with the betting odds between the Dragons and Schumi? Either way, the truth is out there somewhere....Mulder, Scully H E L P!!!! Anyone else noticed rather strong statistics between two sports? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeoffandSandy 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2001 It's all to do with colour. Both St George & Ferrari are red & white. So it depends on the colour scheme of the opposing team & the flag of the country where Schumi is racing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
December 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2001 For those of you who wanted to know how the dragons went this week.........they lost. This should indicate that schuey will win at imola, so those wanting to have a bet should get in while they can. oh and they lost by heaps if thats of any help. lets see if the run continues. [of course now this stat is published it prolly won't work anymore lol] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
December 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2001 Well of course, it DID have to turn into a demonstration model, didn't it? Luckily I have covered myself by saying that this occurs most of the time. And as Schuey has a DNF, it isn't the same as a loss. Well okay, maybe i am grasping at straws here lol. Ok, lets look at stats then... During 1999 Schuey was out with a broken leg during the last part of the NRL draw. Here are 2000 results.. Grand Prix Schumacher St George Aussie 1st Lost Brazil 1st Won * San Marino 1st Won * Britain 3rd Won Spanish 5th Won European 1st Lost Monaco Ret Won + Canadian 1st Lost French Ret Won + Austrian Ret Lost *+ German Ret Lost *+ BREAK FOR OLYMPICS 2001 Australia 1st Lost Malaysia 1st Lost Brazil 2nd Won Imola Ret Lost *+ * indicates an 'abnomaly' toward the expected results. + indicates that schuey retired so we won't know if he could have won or not coz he wasn't racing. The stats aren't perfectly in favour of my theory but boy they are #### close! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeoffandSandy 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2001 See i told you it's all to do with colour. Ferriari R/W lost to Williams Bl/W. Engine BMW Bl/W San Marino flag Bl/W StG R/W lost to Parramatta Bl/G (well it's almost Bl/W) If the theory is correct them schumi to win when saints play bulldogs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeoffandSandy 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2001 ok claire, you got me. really it's two negatives make a positive (thats both maths & english) as in double negative. anyway i never not said i was a mathermatician, i just like colours (except of course bl/w) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
December 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2001 OK gang...get your betting slips out. This week, St George Illawarra Lost! Schumacher is on pole [Michael that is] My bet is for a schuey win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeoffandSandy 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2001 You wuz right twelfth month, although with 90 seconds to go your bet looked a bit worried. Still, winners are grinners eh? Of course my Bl/W theory still holds (Finnish flag etc). By the way Benneton's run of outs seemed to start when they changed from that fantastic multi colour scheme to the daggy Bl/W they have now. Coincidence maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
December 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2001 Nope, no coincidence........get rid of the funky colours and you lose your edge lol and st george only just lost, so i guess it had to be a close race lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeoffandSandy 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2001 To make it a really close coincidence they would have had to have lost by a field goal after the final whistle, but the basic premise holds true. Now that there are no more rabbitohs---up the dragons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeoffandSandy 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2001 Hey December, before the race I was going to ask how Saints draw would effect things but my answer came in the race results. DC first, RB second until the last 20 meters then letting MS past on team orders. That's as close to a draw as you can get in F1. You have converted me: I like your theory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
