Why is Tulsa kicking the extra point?

The end of Indianapolis/Tennessee featured a touchdown as time expired to make the score 30-27. Under NFL rules you have to attempt a PAT. Are you insinuating that the Titans kicked an extra point to avoid an injury if they went for two? That is laughable. Neither option resulted in a win so they took the easiest scoring option available, the extra point and a 30-28 final.

Are you also insinuating that the Golden Hurricane feared injury so much that they were willing to kick an extra point rather than try to put themselves in better position to win the football game by going for two? I think the 80+ members of the Tulsa football team would take that as an insult.

It is clear that (except for 165) the opposition has a personal issue with the best 500 capper at covers, and they would debate anything.  Train has taken up so many losing debates against me, he has nothing to lose at this point.

Their side is that the statistical percentage chart that shows overwhelmingly you should go for it is wrong - and then Train compares it to a blackjack chart.  OK train, this isnt a 16 against a 10, this is a 16 against a 6.  Try to tell me when the chart doesnt apply to stay on a 16 against a 6?  Thought so....

The percentage is 24%, it is one of the lowest on the chart.  Tulsa's percentage is probably 70% there, making it overwhelming.  It isnt even close.  Go ahead dopes, tell me how my mama is ugly, or you hate my avatar.  Cant wait.

Week after week, you create threads questioning this and that, clock management stupidity, scoring too fast, probability issues. All talk but no action. Go prove it on the field so we can see how you fare.

In 2003, did you think the Colts would score three touchdowns over the final 3:37 of the fourth quarter in Tampa Bay to force overtime and eventually beat the Bucs 38-35? The answer is no. These are extreme situations but the point is they happen. You can't foresee them happening but you have to plan for it as a head coach, and the proper call tonight was Tulsa going for two to try to push the lead to 21.

As a sidenote, I think Greg Salas would take umbrage with your calling his 13-catch, 214-yard, two TD performance "woeful".

Your stance is that because the coach didnt do it, it is right.  OK.  Whatever.

And your argument is hilarious - the situation of the game is why they didnt do it.  In fact, the situation of that game makes it even more of an argument to go for it considering the pace of scoring.  You dont even know when your choice of stance works against you.

This 500 capper at least knows what probability is, and how to apply it.  Maybe that is what makes you so great at capping - the ability to think outside of math - but I think I will stick with it.

And if 500 capping can make you a living for 8 years running now without a real job, and also make 2010 my most profitable (by far), then maybe you should start inquiring about the secrets of us 500 cappers.

Is that a soft 16 vs a 6? What position are you in? How many decks in the shoe? Whats the count? Is the table running hot or cold? Who cut the deck? How many players? Are you playing one hand or 2?

Thats 8 questions the chart cant answer. Only experience and playing can.....
