Baseball
To keep it simple, before 1960 the National and American Basball
Leagues used to have 8 teams each. Each team would play every other
team in its league 22 times for a total of 154 games. Usually the
first place team would lose about a third of its games and the last
place team would win about a third of its games.
Suppose you had eight people "play" an identical schedule of card
cutting or something where it is all luck and no skill. Aproxomately
how would you expect "teams" one thru eight to finish in wins and
losses, say averaged out over 100 "seasons?"
