Ever notice how Penalties gets hyped as pure skill? Honestly, the luck factor is way more baked in than people admit. Sure, technique matters—but is it really where the magic happens? Worth reconsidering what "skill-based" actually means in these scenarios.

Hmm... I have to question this logic. From the Bollinger Bands theory, so-called "luck" is actually market noise that technical indicators fail to fully price in. Free throws, in fact, RSI momentum can be quantified.

Well... when it comes to penalties, honestly, it all depends on mindset; technique is secondary.

ngl free throws are all about mysticism; technique is just superficial. Mental toughness and the feel on the day are the real dividing lines.

NGL, saying that penalty kicks are purely based on skill is not entirely accurate... The element of luck is seriously underestimated.

Oh my, really, penalty kicks should have been debunked long ago. The idea that it's purely based on luck is exaggerated beyond belief.

Nah, for real though... Free throws are all about how you're feeling that day; technique is actually just a distraction.

Well... those who talk about technology haven't clarified how much luck has muddied the waters in the process.

Hmm... I agree with this point. Behind the seemingly glamorous things, there are often more randomness involved. Just like in trading markets, even if the technicals look good, a supply chain disruption can still lead to failure, and the role of luck is seriously underestimated.
