Agreed, this conclusion is a non sequitur. Regardless of what the average success rate is, some players and teams are more skilled than others and will consistently succeed at a higher rate. People are much better than 50-50 at predicting which team will win a game (and there is a large industry centered in Las Vegas which depends on accurate estimates of these probabilities), which shows that it’s not just random.
