No, it doesn't. That would be stupid.
All it does is this:
If you try for any center whatsoever, you get a random center (not all types are equally likely) almost always. The chance of complete failure is very low.
If you try for a specific center, you have a better chance of getting that type, but if you don't, then you get a useless center.
Haha, thanks for clarifying Tom. There's so much esoteric knowledge to be learned about this game that isn't well documented (or documented at all) that sometimes I get an idea in my head and am convinced I heard it somewhere.
