How many AZers have a Fargo Rating

Mine says 525.... no idea what any of that means
Alex Pagulayan is rated 791 - so...... I guess there's that.

Yeah, let's not support anything that's a serious attempt to standardize player ratings. Since you don't care anyway, why bother to complain about it? :rolleyes:

WTF is a Fargo-rating and who gives a rats-a^* about a Fargo? Will such a rating help me win ANY more $$$ playing pool? Sounds like some sort of upscale chicken-s^*t league non-sense. Seriously, does ANYBODY give ANY credence to these ratings?

Not to knock you, but you're a beginning player, with an opinion about everything (much of it misinformed, or just plain wrong). You should probably leave the "figuring out" of these systems to people like Mike Page, who really do know what's happening. :rolleyes:

Just a thought, but if you were to quit competing for like 6 months for example, would your name still be in the Fargo rate system ? What type of events would you need to be competing in to have a Fargo rating? I think the system is just really silly. Fargo can't see into the future, to determine the odds of one player beating the other. There is too many other aspects to consider , other then your winning % or the way you played in the last year for example.

A rating difference of 270 or so means that Alex is expected to beat you about 13-3 in a race to 13. You can find estimated fair matches at

You need to consider whether your rating is well-established, of course. Players with only a few matches recorded will tend to have inaccurate ratings while players like Alex, with jillions of games in the system, will be rated accurately relative to other active players.

There is a expected 70 pct chance of rain tomorrow which do you think is more accurate
Because Iv yet to see see it's any more predictable than a weather forcast except when it's obvoius

Hey stroke,

A few days ago, I was listening to a local radio show. The weather person got on and said there was a small chance of rain today. Looked out the window and voila, it was pouring rain. So much for weather forcasters! Think Fargo may be more accurate. Not sure if it's 1% or 99% :D .

Do you reject all concepts and tools based on probability and statistics as worthless garbage?

That's 81.3%, I'm pretty sure. Which explains why casinos are still in business.

I have a friend who is certain that it's impossible to flip heads 10 times in a row. Would it have been a sin to ask for only 10000 : 1 odds?

47.2% of statistics are made up.

Me (558) versus Joey Gray, looks to be a fair match at 13-4....

I'll take it, considering I put a 4-pack on him at DCC a few years ago, lol... :grin-square:

I can' figure out which me is me, but they all could be I guess. Besides that, I've only played in one event with Fargo (as far as I know).

What is your robustness? I wonder if that tournament is in the system.

My high school physics teacher was showing us probability by flipping a quarter and explaining no matter what the previous results had been it was still 50/50 on the next flip. He flipped tails 22 times in a row. Put the quarter back in his pocket and would not flip it again.:cool::eek::cool:

22 tails in a row? I'd take slight odds (OK, a million to one, not so slight) that it had tails on both sides.
