Default Re: A problem that has really confused me...please help

You might be interested to know this is an ancient problem, called the problem of the points, and solving it was the birth of probability theory in 1654. Or you might not.

We need a few more details about your league. Do you play a 16 game schedule, or all 17 weeks? Do you settle by regular season record or have playoffs? What is the payout structure?

For most kinds of league, it would be approximately fair for the 2-0 guys to kick in $15, the 1-1 $10 and the 0-2 $7. See if you can make that fly. My guess is both the 2-0 and 0-2 guys will gripe. But why play fantasy if you don't like to hear guys gripe?
