Re: The problems with Stick's offer to play 101 nine pt. matches.

by monty1945@[EMAIL PROTECTED] May 14, 2008 at 09:42 AM

I like the offer, but it's a gambler's offer, and I'm just not a
gambler.  If someone wants to stake me, that's fine.  I'll even give
that person 80% of the winnings if I win.  My finances are simply
nobody's business but my own, so I won't respond to questions that
relate to this issue.  The real question concerns why the "serious
students of the game" who post here all the time can't take a half
hour out of their day several days a week (which they probably use
playing backgammon for free/small stakes or studying the game/reading
books about it) to play a 9 pt. match now and then for a Euro.  I've
said that I think 9 pt. matches are my focus limit and that I think
medium or high stakes will effect the way I play, even if it's not
entirely conscious.  As the ancient Greeks said, know thyself.  I will
admit to how hilarious I find it that all these great "students of the
game" would rather post here over and over again instead of actually
playing the game, but also talk about how much they play the game.  Go
play the game then, for your "high stakes."  Or post here all day
long.  But claiming that my offer is someone invalid in post after
post after post is beyond ludicrous.  Take me up on my offer, stake me
and I'll take MP up on his offer, or just go back to playing the game
and stop writing the same posts here over and over again about how
your "valuable time" can't be "wasted" playing on my terms.  At least
Stick was willing to admit that there is an irrational basis to his
refusal - it's an excuse that is understandable, given the frailties
of the human mind.
