    The Gambler’s Fallacy - the belief that unusual trends in completely independent events must somehow even out over time. Formed on the roulette tables of Monte Carlo, now applied to Premier League footballers.
    But how? And is it right to compare the outcomes of football to a fallacy?
    Jon Mackenzie explains. Illustrated by Alice Devine.

    I reckon it makes a little sense with the penalty, because a penalty taker may well think that they surely won't get away with another in the same direction because they think the keeper has cottoned on. Whether that logic is flawed or not is up for debate, but I don't think its the gamblers fallacy, as previous shots can affect the next ones.

      Agreed, when you have a person influencing the outcome on both sides it's not in any way the gambler's fallacy - it's pure psychology. More like paper-scissors-stone, which (at least after the first throw) is almost always won by the person who could better get in the head of their opponent.

    • @tompoodiack2034
      @tompoodiack2034 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      To clarify, you are correct that it is not the gamblers fallacy in that context. But it’s not from the takers point of view, but the goal keepers. The fallacy itself is purely psychological, a way our brain tries to process random events in a seemingly organized way. While you’re right that human behavior affects it hear, that’s the random event. The keeper making the assumption that they couldn’t go back to the same side, despite there being no reason for it as it’s a different person (the next roll) is the fallacy. It’s like if left was black, right was red, down the middle is green. The goalkeeper is the one constant, put the shooter always changes. So the keepers use a logic based on the last penalty, but the players are new and have no consistency from the last.

    This is an extremely weird video. Not only does gambler's fallacy not apply to football by definition, but it's not obvious that either the Lineker or Kane quotations are examples of it. Maybe Lineker felt his shooting slackened if he took a bunch of warmup shots? As for Kane, he's an excellent striker who knows how to correct mistakes, so his chances of scoring likely do increase from one shot to the next. In which case, there's no fallacy?

      It's a bit tricky there. I mean Haaland seemed pretty lost throughout the game. City's heavy possession game kept Haaland locked tight. That's why City and Pep teams usually play without classic strikers and use more midfield-like forwards instead who are comfortable in tight spaces. Haaland's second goal was so unlike City, I doubt they'll create that many chances with that fashion.

    Very interesting. Unlike spinning a roulette wheel, activities in football like passes, shots, corners, free kicks and penalties are not independent but can influence each other. There are various superstitions that manifest on the football field, like making the Sign of the Cross and touching the ground before crossing the touchline to enter at the beginning of a game or as a substitute, raising one's hand before taking a corner, etc. None of these are based on any real logic.

  • @cpfc4prem
    @cpfc4prem ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The penalty shoot out example isn't Gambler's Fallacy at all, as which way the keeper has dived previously can influence the decision making of the next penalty taker. David Platt has spoken about how this affected his penalty at Italia 90. He took the third penalty against West Germany and had noticed that the keeper had gone right on the previous 2 penalties. He originally decided that he was going to hit the ball right, but just before he took the penalty he changed his mind and went left as a result. It wasn't a well hit penalty and the keeper went left too, and it was very nearly saved. That's a very real example of why the gambler's fallacy does not apply to a penalty shoot out - we're talking about humans, not random machines like a roulette wheel.

    I think that the goalkeeping example isn't actually the gambler's fallacy, or at least not entirely. Saving a penalty isn't random like a roulette wheel. It's more like a game of rock-paper-scissors, but with the odds stacked against the keeper because of how many angles and speeds the penalty taker has to choose from. Games like rock-paper-scissors would be random if two computers played each other, but because humans are quite bad at acting truly at random, it's possible to read your opponent and achieve consistent results better than random chance. In this case, because penalty takers may actually factor the previous penalties into how they choose to take their own penalty, it may not be irrational to do so as a keeper.

      Thank you, wish he'd framed it that way. In Kane's case that would be called regressing to the mean. Small sample sizes (several games, maybe even a whole season) will produce outliers and it could be reasonable to convince oneself to "shoot through a dry spell" to get back to his normal strike rate. By the same token, a hot streak of several goals over a short period won't last indefinitely either, even though in both cases past performance has no influence on whether they continue.

    The problem with human beings and their abilities regarding this topic is that they are not repeatable a 100 % of the time, so there is no certainty - and humans have a mind that can be influenced by countless factors. Therefore, even penalty shootouts cannot be called gambler's fallacy, because neither the keeper nor the shooter are emotionless robots that can reproduce a task the same way 100 % of the time and their decisions are not random.
    So while a goalkeeper jumps to the left side after having the previous shot takers shoot to the right side, anticipating that not every shot taker will shoot to the right side, the next shot taker might assume that the goalkeeper thinks exactly that way and thus shoots to the right side again on purpose. So neither the shot of the shot taker nor the side the goalkeeper jumps to is random.
    In addition, all of this is influenced by things like experience and tendencies of the shooter and whether or not the goalkeeper has studied the shooter - and the shooter might in return assume that the goalkeeper has studied him and thus chooses a different side than the one he usually prefers. There are so many mindgames in a penalty shootout that gambler's fallacy plays no role at all.

    I will never for the life of me understand why people in the Monte Carlo example saw the ball land on black 26 times, and reasoned that the 27th time would be red. My intuition would either tell me that either 1) the next roll will be 50/50 or 2) the wheel is somehow biased against red because of small small irregularities in its manufacturing.
    I know that it's a fallacy because there is no reasonable explanation for why the ball should land on red. I just can't understand why anyone would believe that fallacy in the first place.

    That's not correct. Imagine you roll a 37-sided die 20 times. What is the chance of getting a > 1 result every single time? (36/37)^20. Hence, the chance of rolling a 1 AT LEAST ONCE is (1 - (36/37)^20). Generally speaking, the chance of rolling a 1 at least once in N rolls is (1 - (36/37)^N), which tends to 1 (i.e., 100%) when N increases. It is therefore highly unlikely that you roll non-1s too many consecutive times. It is not independent once you KNOW that you missed N times.

      Bayes' Theorem does not apply to Roulette, which is an independent event each spin - there are no prior conditions to know. If you can judge where the ball will finish based on the speed the croupier releases it, you're gonna make a lot of money in the casino. Whether it came up black before has zero bearing on its conditions on the next throw. Pretty funny that you're applying gambler's logic to this whilst erroneously attributing your fallacy to a probability theorem. The veneer of knowledge.

      fair games only exist in toy problems. in real life we only have bayes, so after 50 blacks the chance it's a fair game is vanishingly small. after 26 it's certainly worth a punt. i recommend matt parker's video on cheating at minecraft

    As a matter of interest the mathematical description of the fallacy is 'The fallacy of the maturity of chances'. People make tha same mistake when considering tossing a coin.
    If a coin is tossed ten times and comes down heads every time most people will believe that it is more likely to come down tails the next time. Actually it is probably more likely to come down heads again because it is a loaded coin.

      I mean, that take is kind of valid though. If you claim that getting a faulty decision against you means it is more likely to go in your favor the next game, that's obviously false*, but if you just claim that over the course of a season you will most likely get around as many against you as for you, there's nothing wrong with that.
      *Maybe the ref decision example is a bad one, since refs may actually (possibly subconsciously) try to favor a team that they know were shafted earlier, or refs may consistently have a bias for/against a team, but you get my point.

      @@bungaIowbill I do, but it's a very nebulous balancing act. The way things "balance out" for one of the bigger teams compared to how/if they do for the smaller ones (size being league position wise). And then there's the times when two teams who got the short end of things come up against each other, meaning both can't get their "owed" good breaks at the same time.
      There's a hazy line between short-term and long-term. You might get huge runs of flipping a coin and getting the same result, but long term it should even out to a 50/50 result, all things being given. The Gambler's Fallacy fails because it's thinking is correct on a nebulous long-term timeframe. Case in point, if a coin if flipped 1m times, it shouldn't land heads those 1m times, even though that's statistically possible. However, if you toss a coin a Googleplex number of times, a run of a million heads/tails wouldn't really stand out in the same way tossing a coin 1m times and having a run of 10-20 same results wouldn't, even though both seem like they shouldn't happen during the run.
      So yes, while the take that "things even themselves out" does hold water when it comes to football (or any sport) due to how interconnected everything is, there's no guarantee that balancing out would happen within the same season.

    • @bungaIowbill

      @@morlath4767 Right, this is true. One season is long enough for some things to even out, but too short for others.
      Just for "fun": if one person flips a coin 38 times, they have an 87% chance of getting *at least* 16 heads, a bit shy of the average 19 heads. If 19 people flip a coin 38 times, there is just a 7% chance that *all of them* get at least 16 heads. But, if the 19 people flipping a coin 38 times is repeated 7 times, there is an 89% chance that all 19 people will get an average of 16/38 heads throughout the 7 "seasons".

    The diving patterns may not be gambler's fallacy logic.

Penalty shootouts consist of two humans attempting to predict each other's actions and are as such a very complex game of rock paper scissors - behaviour that looks logically unsound may be an attempt to predict logically unsound behaviour from your opponent
