If thirty anglers are fishing a carp lake with thirty different flavoured baits, are they all increasing or decreasing their chances of catching a fish by a factor or thirty? As a hypothetical situation, you mixed up a batch of killer boilies last week, flavour - chicken biryani and plum jam (you had come back rather later than you hoped from the pub before making up the mix!!) - and the carp couldn't get enough of them! The only problem was that this was the day after you had shovelled them into your swim and had gone home without a sniff. Now, have the carp bcome conditioned to this particular flavour above all others, and will reject anything else presented to them, or will they eat anything if they are hungry enough? Have the other 29 anglers at the lake had their chances ruined by not fishing the 'right' bait, or have the carp now been driven into a feeding frenzy, so that they will take any bait, and so increase the chance of the 29??
