Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 4418129, member: 55"] The odds are totally different. Let’s say getting the 2 is a 50/50 call (it’s less than that but not by much, and yesterday I think the odds were over 50%). If we assume everyone gets a TD and can get the 1 all the time if they want, if you go first there is a 50 per cent change you get it, but then half the time the second team will match you, meaning you win 25%, lose 50% and go to double OT 25%. If you do what LSU does, 50% chance you win, 50% chance you lose. Bottom line — in almost no circumstances do you go for 2 when you go first. [/QUOTE]
