Pick-A-Winner (PAW) #39 – SINGAPORE SS - 2008

ya..i agree with uncle...watching at the venue did not determine someone really will win this PAW game...sometimes, really need to see him or her is 'lucky' or not..

 

Oh tehsham, how can you knock me out so soon! :crying:
Good luck to you in the next round. KNOCK them DOWN man!

 

Not to worry, we always have the league to look forward to and the Team PAW. WOW! WOW! WOW!

 

Actually Rudy is a heartless guy. After taking his darling Hwang (or at least taking a pic with her), he now knocks out the man! How not to be MAD,

 

Thank u and need plenty of luck too for the future PAW game. Sorry to pip u at the post as u had been leading from day 1 till the our last PAW.

I had to admit I had an advantage in the sense that I can PAW till the last minute while u too engross watching it live.

 

Congrats to Limsy for winning at the first attempt. She... errr... he did very well. Also well done to Modius (1st timer too!) and my arch nemesis Hauge, who has knocked me out

 

Ah well, better to hit the jackpot late than never. Congrats on your fine finish

 

Out, out and out . Should form a new team called the Outsiders or Knocked Out

 

He owes me big time now, that heartless Rudy–he's got to arrange a date with HHY for me

 

Which one? Where? Saw so many pics recently I confused.

 

Aiyo, poor confused man! Let me help you lah:

Aha, that's because I had not gone to that thread for a while. I think many are envious of you. Nice, nice.

 

It is an insulting to limsy to say his win was purely depends on luck itself.
Let me tell u the example : Butet /vita : Those watching live at stadium only will know that one of them carrying injured during QF and wont PAW for them for SF.(I dont think only hauge with the close link among players is the only one know, unless u skip to watch that match live)
If we just looking the results from the livescore, we will thought that the INA tomboys actually in brilliant form to eliminate the ENG WD pair .
That's what i meant advantages

 

Ah hah, don't put words in my mouth. You are just trying to create a misunderstanding! I never insulted limsy in the way you instigated. I'm just stating a fact that luck plays a very important part in our PAW game. Otherwise you would not have new winners most of the time and some of these winners were first timers.

Regarding Butet/Vita, I don't think many watching at the venue would know one of them is injured and to what extent. Frankly I also did not notice that as there were a few matches playing at the same time and not all would just focus on their match. Sometimes too, a slightly injured player may also win. Even the players themselves need luck and try to avoid unforced errors too many times!

Most like me would consider the past day's results and the scoring points before making a decision on our PAW selection. Those taking higher risk will be rewarded with higher scoring points if they are lucky! Just think of the big winners you had in the past and you knew hardly anything about the 'new' players you had selected! Much depends on the individual PAWer's own situation - whether he/she needs to catch up by taking higher risk or to play safe.

So IMO, LUCK is the dominant criterion as upsets are not uncommon!

 

so much politics

 

But the ROF Team now has the opportunity to get two top-scoring replacements, an undue advantage over the other PAW teams!

 

Congrats to my PAW "opponent" Cannot Smash..... all the best to you for the next round.
Thanks to Sandy again...for all his effort.

 

Haha, small compensation for getting knocked out by Hauge in the Knockdown draw. Very bad draw indeed, Sandy
