2. February 2007, 11:15:33 Subject: Re: has this been brought up yet? Czuch Czuckers: yeah! That will be great... 25. September 2005, 19:56:54 The discussion moved to the Ponds Plus FS... 13. July 2005, 00:26:58 I was almost betting one more point, like usual. But thought, naaahhh, someone will bet higher... :( 12. July 2005, 10:23:53 Subject: Re: Hrqls: What I meant to say was: If I just have a few points, and would know that I would be next to fall in the pond, if I bet 0, another person would fall with me (the one with the small bet after me). This way, I would not lose to that particular person and lose less BKR points.
That´s why the rule we were talking of, just aplies to the first round... I think that was what Goonerg was trying to say as well... 11. July 2005, 17:22:14 It would be a good tactic to lose less BKR points... 30. June 2005, 21:13:49 Subject: Re: New Version Request-- Team Run Around the Pond Pedro Martínez: how can you say that? 30. June 2005, 21:05:42 Subject: Re: New Version Request-- Team Run Around the Pond Bry: "I do agree that the bets made by the 2 Portugese in the pond that has been discussed must have been "contrived" personally, away from the Pond. That is the difference, Scooter publically announced his intention (rightly or wrongly) and everyone in that pond had the option to gamble or not."
Supposing everybody understands english, I say... 30. June 2005, 10:43:36 Subject: Re: New Version Request-- Team Run Around the Pond Hrqls: I can assure you that neither in the portuguese fellowship or portuguese board this pond has been discussed. 28. June 2005, 18:03:26 Subject: Re: -Conspiracies-My perception- Resigning-Comparing Dark Ponds Pedro Martínez: ok, sorry then :) 28. June 2005, 17:55:07 Subject: Re: -Conspiracies-My perception- Resigning-Comparing Dark Ponds Pedro Martínez: If you are talking about this situation (http://brainking.com/pt/Pond?g=454&bms=12), it was not so clever.
If i took notice that you´ve been online playing the pond, I wouldn´t made that risky bet. I was lucky because my oponnent didn´t noticed as well... 20. June 2005, 23:15:15 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez: Yep, because there were 39 players on that pond. If there were only 16, she probably would end at 6th /7th and perhaps she would win some BKR points. 20. June 2005, 23:04:52 Subject: Re: 14. June 2005, 17:28:41 Subject: Re: Czuch Chuckers: Now I´m puzzled. How can they get moves from other players? 13. June 2005, 18:08:32 Subject: Re: Walter Montego: As I said, not fair in my opinion. Perhaps that turn could be deleted, eliminating scooter and the other players would remain with the same amount of the previous turn? 13. June 2005, 17:56:48 Go to the discussion board of that pond and look at what scooter said in turn 22.
Not fair in my opinion, but that´s not Pedro and Bry´s fault... 13. June 2005, 15:15:07 Well, Pbarb only had 507 points available. That´s why some players bet 508. 13. June 2005, 12:38:50 Subject: Re: Fencer: oh, my fault... Thanks Filip :) 13. June 2005, 12:22:00 Anyone knows where are the rules for the "pond in the rain"? 8. June 2005, 18:43:45 how can I see the ponds that I already fell in the pond, but that they aren´t completed yet? 8. June 2005, 18:26:52 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez: You´re right. The other win was in a dark pond... 8. June 2005, 18:15:15 hum, I have 8 winnings, not 7.
But this rating is very interesting... 8. June 2005, 15:05:45 I shall insist: what about giving some extra BKR points for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of the pond. This wiil prevent quite a bit this situation, as players will bet taking some more risks... 4. June 2005, 15:01:09 Subject: Re: Mike UK: Not odd. Is a direct result of the actual BKR for ponds. People take less risks, having less chances of winning ponds, in order to get in the last 5/6 to win more BKR points.
IMO, the winner of the pon, the 2nd and the 3rd would get some extra BKR points to reward their risky options... 3. June 2005, 21:26:24 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez: As bigger the sample, greater the reliable degree... 3. June 2005, 21:18:34 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez: yes I am. It is possible to get some optimized bets... 3. June 2005, 21:16:14 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez: yep, it´s possible to create a formula that gives you optimized bets, under some circunstances... 3. June 2005, 21:05:58 Subject: Re: a magic formula Thad: Sure, it is not 100% reliable. I agree with you on that... 3. June 2005, 20:51:37 Subject: Re: Ed's secret formula Modified by Andre Faria (3. June 2005, 20:52:51) Thad: Yes, there is such a statistical formula. If you have patience enough to compile data from the ponds and the players, you can get some optimized bids.
I don´t use such formula because this is juste a game, not work. So why bother? 22. May 2005, 13:41:00 Subject: Re: Pedro Martínez: For the same reason that Tonyh bet 3378. Just logic... 18. May 2005, 20:27:17 Sorry, didn´t notice that time is not suspended anymore... 12. May 2005, 15:06:10 Not a bonus fixation. But for going further in the pond, even without having any chances of winning it. They achieve more BKR points this way. It´s just strategy... 9. May 2005, 14:34:56 Subject: Re: Re: Czuch Chuckers: As a matter of fact I have won some ponds. One of them created by you, in honour of Terri. So I don´t understand your remark...
And it´s just when there are 5 or 6 players left that risk must be taken, in my opinion... 9. May 2005, 12:49:44 Before knowing that ponds would be rated, I was taking some more risks to win the pond. I fell off the pond for several times with 5/6 players left, ´cause I made some small bets, trying to get lucky and win the pond. But now I rather prefer not to win the pond and achieve an higher BKR... So I take less risks in my bets... 9. May 2005, 11:04:53 Yep, it was like Pedro and BBW said. In the actual rating system of ponds, I wanted to secure 2nd place more than risking and trying to won the pond.
Anyway, I think the actual pond rating system could be improved. It would be more fair giving some extra points, for instance, to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of the pond. This way it would prevent those who make high bets, with no chances of winning the pond, but achieving good BKR on the game... 4. May 2005, 17:15:35 |
