Winning Streak

davet82

I know i'm probably gonna get alot of stick here for culchie (anyone outside dublin imo) bashing but how is that there are very few dubs on winning streak but with nearly half the population in dublin should there not be at least 2 dubs a week on it by averages?

is this a culchie conspiracy?

Sorry!

It was actually a question cos I don't know the answer!

But it does seem likely.

I think the show has to cater for the different dialects. No point in having most contestants from Dublin as most of the country folk would be like:

'Cause the city folks are too busy, you know, running the country while you country folk play scratchcards, beat one another at bog-ball matches with handbags and argue over the price of cattle.

Is "running the country" code for injecting heroin and begging for change?

Dubs are too busy watching BBC and ITV, West Brits the lot of them

Nah, just the business, political and tourism capital of the country, besides being the actual capital and only noteworthy city.

isn't Marty Whelan from Dublin, though? why isn't he sorting this out?

Judas!

I'd rather not appear on a TV show where most contestants are toothless simpletons with eyebrows on their cheeks.

Winning streak threads = boring.

Streak FAIL = so much better

Yes, they weight it. It's not proportional or 'fair'.

I wouldn't give a flying f**k what i looked like on TV if i was getting a near guaranteed €30,000 for buying a scratchcard.

Seriously? Where is this written?

I could understand if from a marketing point of view but essentially rigging a game of chance in favour of some people based on location would be worthy of it being shut down.

Whatever about the contestants the wheel is rigged.
Watch the ball "shiver" as it slows down.It certainly doesn't fall naturally.
Magnets I reckon!

If you don't believe me,watch it!

Not that it affects your point much but Dublin is just over a quarter of the population, not nearly half (1,187,176 out of 4,581,269 in the 2011 census, apparently).

If you include Kildare, Meath and Wicklow in the Greater Dublin region you get 39.3% of the state's population.

Yeah. We're an awful shower of fuckin eejits, really.

Saw an explanation for this some years ago. One bag of tickets is selected for each county irrespective of how many bags per county there are. Then the five tickets are randomly selected from these.

Don't get the hate for Winning Streak myself.

Bunch of random punters go into a TV studio and come out an hour later with a 5/6-figure sum each... obviously not the most original or stimulating piece of Television but what's not to like?!

It's certainly better then some other options for Saturday night TV, e.g. The X Factor which seems to amount to the humiliation of deluded people and ridicilous hyperbole surrounding mediocre talents.

How so? There would still be tickets from 25 other bags
