OK, the truth of this thread.
I manage to get my seat Online, after 1 live B & M failure. Tom went for his 2nd or 3rd attempt last night, no luck.
I said "well, I guess that's it Tom, it makes no sense to try again, you've done best part of £900 (or whatever) already, so you are getting close to the point where there is no value".
He replied - sort of, I think - "that's nonsense. If I had 20 attemots, at, say, £400 each, it would still be the same value if I tried a 21st time. Then he told me a story about a ship in dry dock. (He DID, I tell ya).
I struggled tgo get my head round this. Why risk, theoretically, let us say £8,000 to get in a Tourney with a theoretical seat value of, say, £1,500? And if you DID drop £8,000, is there any pouint in dropping another £400, then another, then another. At some point, surely, you have to say, "well, thats it, the value has gone".
And we argued to & fro all night. Eventually, we reached a compromise. I agreed he was wrong. He agreed I was wrong. He's a bit stubborn.
If anyone looses £8k trying to win anything (playing £100 comps) - be it a seat or cash then THEY are the value
