Psychology of Fantasy football, Stocks and maybe Poker

[FrankLu99]

A. Do u ever draft players that you just HATE but know it will strengthen your team?

B. Do u ever invest in a company that you wish would go bankrupt but have a good feeling it is higher positive EV than most other stocks?

C. Are you ever in a situation where to improve your EV, you must screw your friend over by playing hard?

Of the situations, which one(s) has no clear cut correct response given the situation? I think most would agree that in situation C, you should not softplay your friend (it is unethical and quite possibly cheating). How often do you pick-up or drop players, or trade or dont trade stocks based on likes and dislikes? how do you feel when you do this and how does it impact your other trades or picks?

other comments and thoughts?

You should probably just stop starting threads. You're 0/2 today.

Hi Challenger84,

Thanks for reading and thank you for your input. IMO a sample size of 2 threads is not even close to being statistically significant. Also, any analysis so far may be incorrect because due to the short life this thread has already lived. It is not even close, do you see why?

See you around soon,
Frank

4 hours and no replies to the original post. Your threads continually fail because they are retarded and nobody cares about your Christian propaganda. You are the weakest poster and it's not even close. So yes, I see why.

Hi Challenger,

It is nice to see you are reading the psychology thread again. Thank you for your inciteful post for I did not know it has been four hours since the last reply to my original post. That just plain stinx but I dont think it constitutes as failure. I don't consider the original post as Christian propaganda or even a religion-related post. I am sorry you feel that Christian beliefs are propaganda. I do hope you will have a change of heart in the near future. Is there any reason why you lean towards the belief that Christianity is propaganda?

hmmm do you think they give out handicap parking permits for mental retardation? I would very much like one!

Thanks for any reply,
Frank
