Nothing will make sense when you summarily dismiss anything that doesn't correlate with your preconceived notions and beliefs instead of actually allowing yourself to think and objectively look at evidence that is now available to more accurately ascertain what is actually true.
What do you think would be more accurate? Trying to estimate how much money you spent in the 2020 calendar year, or writing down every penny you spent that year every time you spent it as you went along and then adding it up at the end? Your guesses here are like the former, and FargoRate is like the latter. Mike Page has spent a ton of time and effort, looking at an enormous amount of actual black and white data rather than guesses and perceptions, looking for people that have a significantly better win rate on one table size over another. He isn't finding that pattern. People have repeatedly claimed to know of exceptions, and when he looks to see what the data actually shows for those supposed exceptions that the referrers were oh so certain about, well they didn't turn out to be exceptions either. I (or any smart person) can only go by where the large amount of data leads you even if it isn't what you would have intuitively expected.
The sample size of your example above is pretty small. It could just be a coincidence that you played better in those tournaments, got more rolls, opponents having more off days, etc. You could have been facing less skilled competition than you normally face. Your memory about your win rate against the same level of players on 7 foots and 9 foots could be selective or misremembered. There are a billion other reasons that could explain your likely misconception. But even if it were true that you have a significantly better win rate against the
same level of opponents on one table size over another, you would be an outlier, an anomaly, a wild exception, and your contention that this is the norm or at least extremely common would still be untrue.
Let's find out. If you think you have enough games in the FargoRate system on both 7 foot tables and 9 foot tables to offer a reliable comparison of your win rate against the same opponents between the two table sizes (or know of one), then post your (or their) name here or send it to Mike at
support@fargorate.com privately so if if he is still willing he can look at the actual data and see if you (or another person you have in mind) really are the four leaf clover or not. Garczar was too scared of being proven wrong to be willing to do it, what about you?
