That’s not was he was hinting at all. Selmy was saying that there’s a good bit of luck involved in tourneys, and a lesser combatant who’s unusually motivated (as Jorah was with the favor) might perform above their usual abilities, but over the long run, talent wins out.
Barrisatn Selmy hints that the tourney in Lannisport, and therefore Jorah Mormont’s victory, was faked. That a Lady’s favour around an arm can win a tourney. If so, what was the reason? What could Bear Island offer the Hightowers? The Hightowers didn’t put much effort in restoring the relationship after they broke up either. Was Jorah the worst jouster ever? He not only didn’t ever win another tourney, he also lost more and more money. Therefore he lost most of his first round jousts.
