03:36 pm Phil says he felt that he was getting punched down. He said he got knocked down to -$1500. But he clawed his way back to $465. So the human team won by $70 -- 7 small bets which means the first match is a draw!

well it was pretty close, statistically insignificant certainly. hopefully something more exciting will happen in the next set.

pretty amazing that phil went down 1500$ while the computer was never down more than 600ish it seems. maybe tilt/psychological factors that affected phil can account for this. if this is true (pretty big if), it also implies that the humans are mostly likely superior players when playing their A game.

EDIT: oops missed the +/- sign discrepancy posted. if you read the post they make it apparent that polaris won against phil though.

Doesn't make any sense though. Something in the reported results has to be incorrect.

I'm sorry, no amount of Wikipedia searching will make 465+395=70.

doesn't it seem to be implied that phil clawed his way back to being DOWN only 465?

Ah! But that would mean the computer "team" won by $70.
