3 game minimum for # ranking
Karl is undisputed #1 at 8-4However, if they don’t change the rules on getting into the playoffs, it looks like it’s going to be Karl vs. MisterGreen for all the marbles. No one else has more than 5 games complete, and you need 8?! by 11/1.

The Axis have been extremely successful in the 2012 league. With an average bid of 8-9, the Axis are 56-27, a .675 win pct.
Major League Baseball finishes the regular season tomorrow. Here are the records of the division leaders:
New York Yankees - .584
Baltimore Orioles - .578
Detroit Tigers - .540
Texas Rangers - .581
Oakland Athletics - .575
Washington Nationals - .602
Cincinnati Reds - .602
San Francisco Giants - .581This is how big the Axis advantage in 1941 is. Even giving away an 8-9 bid of the Allies’ choice, you have a better chance of winning with the Axis than the New York Yankees have against the Toronto Blue Jays (.447).
It’s riskier to bet on the Atlanta Braves (.578) beating the Chicago Cubs (.373) (lost 9 out of last 10) than to count on the Axis (.675) beating the Allies (.325) with an 8-9 bid in the 1941 scenario.
That’s right. The Axis are better than the Yankees, better than the WS loser Rangers, better than the Braves, better than the World Series champion Cardinals. The Allies are worse than the Cubs. Let me say that again.The Allies are WORSE THAN CUBBIE BLUE! Just like the Cubs should be spotted a couple of runs each game and play all of their games at home to have a fighting chance, the Allies need more than 8 or 9 for a fair fight, folks! A lot more! :-)
Cheers

Or it takes a bit more skill & a strong plan to properly play & win as the allies? I am sure, well not that sure :-D, that Yoshi, Tyzoq & Darth have played the allies this year? Their combined records is 24-2. Their allied win record must also be quite good, no?

Which means everyone else’s is horrible, because they no doubt have an inordinate number of the allied wins, yes.
In other words, when the allies DO win, it’s probably often because the Allied player has more skill and/or experience than the Axis player!
Shall I count the number of times the Allies have won, when the Allied player is ranked lower in my rankings than the Axis player? Now that would be interesting!

@JWW:

That’s my point. You have to be better than your opponent (or luckier, of course) to win with the allies with 8 or 9. Hence, you are handicapped with a bid of 8 or 9.
What I’m saying is quite simple, JWW. If you take the Allies with 8 or 9, you’re betting the Cubs can beat the Yankees this time. (Or that you’re a lot better than your opponent)But what I suspect is people are still ignorant or in denial that a fair fight requires a higher Allied bid. Much higher.
-
Analysis complete. This is amazing. Thanks JWW for inspiring the research.

You can study the data yourself. I have added it to the far right of the results matrix. Included is a comment in each cell you can hover over to see which players were involved in the Allied/Axis wins/losses.
Here are my observations, generally moving down the standings from top to bottom:
Several allied wins were due to OBG quitting in the middle of several games. He was Axis in all of them.Tyzoq has an impressive 7-0 record, but…… 6 of the wins are with the Axis. Not as impressive now. :-) (I don’t know Tyzoq and have never played him. But just an observation)
Darth does have wins with the Allies. Two. One against me where he got very good luck :-)
Darth is 8-2 with the Axis. He lost to OBG and… Yoshi.I beat LL with a bid of 19 (but it was close - although I had poor luck in the early going) and Maxo with a bid of 21. Both of my wins with Allies were against the #14 player, although I did have small bids.
SouL is 6-1 with Axis. 1-1 with Allies. One of those allied wins against #14 player.
And you, JWW. You are 7-0 with the Axis and 2-4 with your precious +9 bid with the Allies. Dude, if you had never taken the Allies, you would probably be #1 in the league right now :lol:
-
I would argue a big reason DM is in the top 4 is because he’s riding the Axis. Just like I did in 2011. I only had the Allies once. Probably has a lot to do with my success (although I did win with them in the championship game)
OBG had a dominant record with the Axis before his meltdown. Also, OBG owns an impressive 6-2 record with the Allies. Let’s see, who did he beat…
#14, #13, #17, #3, #14, #19. Yeah, not so impressive there either now. #3 was Darth - see first sentence above :-)Boldfresh and Lucky! Boys, we all know you’re better than your record shows. Well guess what. Your biggest sin, even bigger than having bad dice, was choosing the disadvantaged side.
Bold is a perfect 2-0 with the Axis. He is a miserable 2-7 with the Allies, partly because he bravely picked matches with Yoshi and then got diced to boot. Looking over Bold’s losses with the Allies - most of the names are good players.
And Lucky is a respectable 3-3 with the Axis, but… bravely or foolishly took the Allies too many times. A 1-7 record with the Allies, but ALL against top players! We certainly can’t accuse Bold or Lucky of padding stats. These boys took the Allies a lot and they played stiff competition and… well, the record shows it. :-) -
Here’s another interesting stat!
dJensen is 4-1 with the Axis, and 0-9 with the Allies!EB is 3-7 with the Axis, 0-4 with Allies
And TDJ…. don’t know him either but maybe you should throw your nets on the other side of the boat.
Never played as Axis, 0-6 with Allies. You’d probably have better luck with the other team, man. -
