re: Going for 2 in that situation.

That math is basically correct though. The numbers might not be exact (because 50% isn’t the exact rate of success on 2 pt attempts), but if you do convert your 2 pt attempts 50% of the time, you win 62.5% of the time and lose 37.5% of the time.

I showed the math on converting 2 pt attempts 40% of the time and why it still makes sense then.

1. I wasn't being mean

2. You say you're reading but I've explained something to you directly and concisely in 3 or probably more different posts and this is now the 4th time you've responded completely ignoring what I said.

You also said you were a football coach, so it's pretty surprising that this is something you still haven't learned yet?

And I quoted exactly what you said… 50/25/25 (which - like I said - is not correct. As you know)

Those are your posts man. As you know, that math is not correct.

Again, this is why I politely said this conversation isn't for you. This is probably the 5th or 6th straight post you've repeated this. Myself, and now others, have replied to you to explain the assumptions made that make this NOT incorrect. If you didn't catch the assumptions at first, that's fine, no big deal. But why are you repeating this 6 times later when it's been explained to you 6 times the assumptions that make the math correct?


You said in this post I'm replying to that you're trying to learn. But you've shown that you're either unable or unwilling to try to learn by consistently ignoring the explanations that have been given to you over and over. Do you honestly disagree with what I just said?
