    How you figure? A win makes Jersey worse? I want them to be in the #6-#7 spot. I don't want them to be #3-#4. That would be a terrible situation for us. They would have over 50% to land a top 3 pick.

    Basically we want New Jersey at the #6-#7 range. They have less than 1.5-3.5% chance of getting the top 3 pick. If they go to #5, their chances are 10%. If they are #4, then their chances are around 50%.

    So in other words, if you want to tank, then you want Jersey to win. They are #5 right now.

    you should just do it yourself, and spare your countrymen the dignity of having to clean up all the used condoms and pregnancy tests strewn about the yard

    you have the right idea, but your numbers are way off.

    chances of NJ winning a top 3 spot and us losing the pick (roughly, varies a little depending on which chart you look at):

    4th 37%
    5th 29%
    6th 22%
    7th 15%

    so there's still some significant danger of losing the pick at 5-7

    because of the way the lottery is set up...

    THE 4TH WORST TEAM IS ONLY RARELY GOING TO END UP WITH THE 4TH PICK

    4th almost invariably ends up either winning a top 3 spot (in which case we lose the pick) OR getting bumped back to 5th or 6th,or even rarely 7th by teams behind them winning, SO... they might as well finish 5-7 which decreases thier odds of winning a top 3. there is no significant advantage to them finishing 4th. in poker terms it's -EV.

    we should lose tonight.
