This story was almost interesting. Is that the same as interesting to us news junkies? LOL

I always thought when 2 airplanes collided, that was a "near miss"!

Wow! This is incredible, and makes a lot of sense!

I went to the dog track recently with my friends to watch the Kentucky Derby (on simulcast). Of course, everyone bet on lots of dog races prior to the running of the derby.

I was amazed out how everyone "almost" hit the trifectas on practically every race. After every race, several of the people would show around their losing tickets that "almost" one. They were plenty excited that they had two out of the three dogs right, time and time again!

This "almost" win kept them betting on every single race! It never really dawned on them that getting 2 out of 3 right is MUCH more likely than getting 3 out of 3 right!

So inability to understand probability stimulates dopamine? Ignorance truly is bliss.
