Re(2): Who wins more?

Not enough data really. Post position needs to be factored in for one thing. If it was more extreme like 70/30% then I think the streaky guy might win more over a small sample size....or finish last a lot of weeks. Players should be professional and not have extreme swings and look like they are hung over one day and coked up another. I can see factors that might effect play, like....

Marital problems
Playing hurt
Stepping it up because your family is there watching....that's just motivation and adrenaline
Disinterest to lack of a crowd.

I hope point dumping to get a Show is uncommon but it may make sense mathematically....until such situations are computer analyzed and you lose 75% of such points that get you the purse money....tough to explain that one Kirby !
