Why wouldn't ponds be like any other game at BK? It says "losing on purpose for the goal of boosting ratings."

alexlee I already said it.

Read the rules of Ponds. Where does it say it's cheating. It was even brought up at the beginning of Ponds that it would NOT be considered cheating.

Unfair? Possibly, to many people. Again, I would NOT want to play in a pond where I knew people played like that.

rod03801: However, Rod, Bwild said something interesting, about "loosing on purpose...". It's another way to see the question...

I agree with snoopy too. We should listen to both sides of the story. Although, I think Martinez was not incorrect, and his observation has legitimacy.
