STL Fan Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 well I guess that is where we ultimately disagree. yes? Yep, and no offense, but I hope everyone in my league disagrees with you, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 When I left earlier today this thread was only a one pager. Much to my surprise when I log back in it's on page six. How in the hell can this be?!?! I then realized that Blitz posted and it all made sense. Welcome back to the fray.

JustDoIt Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 All of which still means nothing. Other than the fact that this Mucca character thinks it isn't right... nor reason for it... Just says it isn't true.. Do you acknowledge that this is correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustDoIt Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I gave you my reason, you just ignored it. haha. you said because we play each other. that means nothing.. weather you like it or not... those are the odds... and your buddy STL fan not saying I am wrong should be a pretty good indicator...

delusions of grandeur Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 The people who read this entire worthless thread are surely going to be pissed... I change my vote. I think you should tank just to show your league what a stand-up guy you are... I'm sure they'll be okay when you tell them how there isn't a rule against it... Until next year when they're forced to adopt the JustDoIt Rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told you I didn't even look at your percentages, because they don't matter. But if it makes you feel better, you're wrong.

BeeR Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Tanking so that two people in the same family have a better chance of winning the money is collusion in my book. And you assume son and dad are going to share the money because-? If I was in a lg w/my dad he wouldn't get a penny of my earnings. One more time: it all depends how the rules are stated. If it aint covered, have Tito get you a tissue. PS to the OP: I wasn't saying that your situation is about money. It was a general comment.

delusions of grandeur Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 And by the way, you 2 playing in the semis would mean that only one of you will have a 50% chance to win it by the time of the finals. The other would have a 0% chance by that time, having lost in the semis. Conversely, the "tank" way would mean that you both have a 50/50 chance going into the finals, which also means that you can only knock each other out by winning it all... You don't see how people might think that is collusion? And few people said it was in fact collusion, but when you tank and it appears that it could help both of your chances like that, then people are likely going to suspect collusion, regardless of your intentions.

No, I'm saying that by tanking, they both go into different divisions, so they wont play each other till the championship. Which gives them both a better chance to win.

Not even close. If i tank, I would only have a 25% chance to make the championship. I would have the play-in game to win and than the semis to win..

STL Fan Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 oh boy... please explain.. You implied that my silence on the numbers meant that I thought you were right, even when I told you I didn't even look at the numbers, which is still true. So in the sense that the numbers are meaningless, they are wrong. Happy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't right though. We won't play each other until the championship is true... But, however, we have a very little chance of getting to that point.

Grits and Shins Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I do find it interesting that both you and Grits find nothing wrong with it, but both of you say you personally would never do it. Doesn't that mean you have a problem with it? Doesn't that mean your gut tells you it's wrong? If you don't think it's wrong, why would you not do it? If you've read my posts I said that I wouldn't do it for a variety of reasons ... first - I don't want to lose any of my games and second know as sure as I get the seed I "want" in the playoffs it will back fire on me and I will lose in the first round wishing I had left well enough alone.

And saying it doesn't matter is just a lame cop out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm saying that tanking for any reason is wrong and unethical and it doesn't matter why you are doing it and trying to justify it with some lame numbers that have no bearing on the argument is a pathetic attempt to justify things enough to sleep at night.
