Going 2 for 2 on consecutive 2 point conversions probly isn’t a 50% proposition.


Successfully completing the first one doesn’t inherently lower your chances of completing a second one, though.

They are two independent outcomes.

The post above mine explains it really well.

Yes you’re right and if that’s how it came off I apologize. Going for 2 is the lower pct play so you take the more given outcome first. You’re playing uphill and vs the clock so first priority should be to keep yourself in the game as long as possible. You don’t wanna gamble until you have to when you’re margin for error is smallest. You’re going to be down a possession regardless but you bring a second possession into play if you go for 2 first.
