Well... er... couldn't a case be made that you have to be lucky enough to be in the proper physical condition to have the ability to spin it at the proper strength?
Fun fact: Evelyn Wong, the 5th person to be called on the first show (9/4/72), was actually the very first contestant to directly be called to come on down!  The original first four (Sandy Flornor, Paul Levine, Connie Donnel, Myra Carter) were individually told to stand up, and then, as a group, were invited to come on down.

Exactly, Gary.  It's luck.  These contestants have never spun this wheel before, so they aren't going to know exactly how hard to spin it to get it to land on a certain space.  It's silly to suggest that any normal contestant could realistically consistently get a certain amount on the wheel.
