Terry Pluto - Josh Gordon & lottery tickets.......
-
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Nearly every day, fans ask me, "How will the Browns do?"
Then they ask about Josh Gordon.
Both are tough questions to answer.
But this much I do know: The Browns can't attach their hopes for success this season to Gordon.
It's not about being unfeeling or wishing ill for Gordon.
It's about the reality of a talented young man who has battled addictions and played only 10 games in the last four years.
Ten games...
In four years... ........continued in link........

And Pluto has recognized that Ratley just may be one of those late round steals that start as a lottery ticket but somehow against the odds, hits.

I'd also be interested in watching #84, Willies. Saw a highlight of him running a very nice out pattern, making the catch and turning up-field very smoothly.

Honest and fair assessment by Pluto or not?
And we all know what happens to MOST lottery tickets.

am guessing Willies & Ratley fill #5/#6 at WR position--WR Board should clear to PS with some return skills if needed..love the hands & 6'4" frame on Willies

a $20 'scratch' off ticket maybe a better term with better odds..
Since I've always been a numbers guy, economics minor undergraduate and finance major for my MBA but I've always liked numbers......including gaming.
On scratch offs the odds of winning anything including just $1 are generally about 1:4 against you depending on the game, the big jackpots up to 10,000,000 : 1 against again depending on the game.
I've seen experiments where people or groups bet $100 in scratch offs and generally win from $20 to $25, kind of what they tell you going in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now draft picks or trades what are the odds a first round or last round pick ends up being even on the 53 or a starter or pro bowl player much less a hall of fame player.
I'm sure somebody could run those numbers.....maybe our Gipper? (I'm busy now watching the Young & the Restless.

Actually, I think the odds on the scratch offs...even for a $1 winner are now much more than one if 4. They used to be 1 in 4, but no more. I say that they are now more like 1 in 8 or 10. That is my recent experience. But, maybe I will have to run that experiment someday when/if I am ever flush with cash. Buy $100.00 worth of 1 and 2 dollar tickets.
And no, I ain't runnin' your numbers. You are the economics, finance guy.
