Yes, but if you want to take a game of chances, you should take the 100% approach (build your roster through training and veterans, expand your arena) and not the 0,00165 approach or whatever the chances are of hitting a HoF.

It's moneyball vs. powerball, and moneyball is the way to go.

(I'm not sure if it's a common term outside the US but powerball is a lottery game where people can pay one or two dollars for a ticket with a chance to win millions of dollars if their numbers are drawn, naturally at odds that ensure that the game is profitable.)

I agree. Our term is just plain "lottery". If you play "Hit or miss" game where chances are 50:50, I'd understand someone's incline to play that game. But if "Hit" 's chances are 1:1165, it's a bit different.

I will give u a free tip, u can't afford it at all. You are wasting $30,000 a week that should be put into your Arena (which has to be a contender for the worst div4 arena going. Stop wasting money and start building your arena (you are AT LEAST 5,000 seats short at this stage).


You do realize that his team was only 1 day old when you wrote this? How much $$$ do you think he wasted exactly? ;)

I do agree, he should put $$$ into his arena more so than scouting but he's almost certainly going to relegate to D5 anyways.

Please read my reply again, I agreed with your point about the arena just not the part where you accused him of wasting $$$ on his team every week. Considering he only owned it for 1 day. ;)

So you're saying you can't find a single week where he hasn't wasted money in all the time he's played BB? /thread

The only downside is you will use much more time to recover if you do this now than if you do this, say, next season. During the recover, you may get bored because everything is moving so slowly and you may quit the game. And since BB population has been on decline by several months now, I don't like this prospect and that's one of the reasons why I tried to convince you to go the other route.
