Default Re: World Series Main Event Evolution: Harder Then Or Now?

[ QUOTE ]
Let's look at the World Series ME winners in years gone by. They won by beating a fraction of the players that are playing in the event these days but arguably all of the players they did beat were pretty damn good. There was no "dead money" to contend with.

Wrong. How do you think Ungar won 10 of 30 big buy in events?

There was tons of dead money. The players back then hardly understood the game or the odds. The average player today is much better than the average player of yesteryear, no matter what the old coots want you to think.
