indicators

[bniu]

do any of you ever use the inning wheel of the indicator for coin flips? i just spin the wheel continuously, have one coach tell me to stop, and have the other guess "odd" or "even", I figure, heck, it's a 50/50 odds getting it right so what difference does it make from a coin toss? Or I may just use my ball wheel (0,1,2,3) and have the coach pick any two of those numbers and have the other coach tell me when to stop.

I'm thinking about using my strike wheel (0,1,2) and have Coach A guess a number (say 1) and say it stops on 2, then I'll tell coach A that it's NOT 0 and ask her if she would like to switch her choice to 2...heh heh, maybe i'll try this in a league full of probability people, (google game show switch strategy if you're so inclined, the odds of winning if you switch is actually 2/3, and not 1/2).

Thats not a bad idea - prolly not as good as rock paper scissors.. .. I must admit I have on rare occasion flipped the clicker when my coin was abducted by aliens.

But it might be fun to say during pregame.
