RideLondon-Surrey 100 (2015) Anyone?

[Markymark]

Apparent patterns emerge, even in random systems.
Hence it's quite possible to throw 10 heads in a row, even though the odds are 50:50 that any one throw will be heads.

Hence his request to expand the data set by asking for further results.

The link doesn't work for me - I just get a blank blue screen. Any ideas?

Apparently everyone has been cancelled, All you get know is a blue screen, They don't want you to know if you are in or not, you have to wait for the post man.

Link only appears to work on mobile devices. And I've been cancelled for the third year in a row. This is becoming annoying.

I might be wrong but i dont think the ballot was fully subscribed this year compared to the previous couple of years. So with there being extra places available and there being less entries overall im surprised there are so many who havent got in.

Out of about 8 people I know, everyone who was cancelled last year has also been cancelled this year (me included). Likewise, everyone who got in last year has also been approved this year. This also seems to be the case reading through this thread.

Does anyone have an experience of getting a different result this year to last? Seems a bit fishy!

I was unsuccessful in the main ballot last year but got in via the cycling club ballot route.

Yes.

I hope you aren't thinking of critiquing my understanding of probability, after removing the smiley with malice aforethought?

No. I was thinking of noting that you are assuming independence between years, when in fact we have no evidence of that.

And I don't believe in smilies - I'm a staunch adrianist.

 

[beermonster]

I'm in.

Also got in last year so hoping for better weather.

Yes. I didn't get in last year (did a charity entry in the end)

I think there were more entries this year than last year - but they had a higher cutoff

What do you see if you have been accepted, as my friend isn't sure?

It says 'approved' apparently.

Hmm she says that it just diverts her to a page saying ballot to be drawn on 5th, so I don't know
