"The odds were in their favour"?

[nikolgiorgos]

maybe odds are just another way of saying lucky?

yes and at least this is a more fair explanation than "We could improve our training"

as you 're new in the game. read those two posts I wrote (just trying to "explore" the game)

Thanks nikogiorgos, those threads are very helpful ^^

I see, so this is not like chess then, more like an online texas poker game (but one where you can buy certain cards) :roll eyes:

Given that 2 of the 3 major factors can't really be controlled (you can't control the dice roll or how much other players spend real money), then the best tactic for influencing the remaining major factor (manager presence) is hoping that your major opponents are from very different time zones to you and you spend a couple of tokens to change the fixture to unholy times for your opponents (like 3am) and hope they cannot attend (but then that probably doesn't work against naughty kids with no jobs who stay up till then )
