Default Re: Helmuth - Ferguson Head Up Match Theory Question
I've already said this, kinda, but I think it's one of the most interesting parts of this whole thing, so here we go...

Let's assume it really is correct to make no adjustments in both the Philips/Tomko tourney and the Hellmuth/Ferguson situation, which I think we mostly agree on anyway. Why do you suppose it is, then, that people's intuition tells them to be super cautious in one situation and to gamble it up in the other? I'm thinking that if we understand this, we understand the fallacy.
