So it's better to hold an 8-5 lead than an 8-4 lead. I've only got 15 games with an 8-4 lead or better. In the 19 matches where the lead was 8-5, the team that led went 18-1.

It's more complicated than that, I think. For example, as I advocated earlier, there is the strategy of "score as many points as you can, keep the opponents from doing the same." If you do that successfully, then I think your chances of winning are very good.

Is an unjust win acceptable?

I remember back in 2001 when my name was called for a serving contest at the break. As I walked up to the scorers' table, I came by then Cal volunteer asst coach Scott Bishop and asked for advice. He said, "serve it in". I guess that was sage advice, as I hit a soft high-arcing floater with a little bit of topspin that hit the banner just at the 3 m line. I had one more serve and went for degree of difficulty with the shot into the trash can and missed badly. Didn't get the $50 gift certificate, but since the other contestant didn't hit anything, I got a $20 gift certificate. I guess sometimes it's better not to try to force a result.

Sorry about the accountant crack.... Accountant? My girlfriend is an accountant. It kind of freaked me out when she noticed my tax return and asked to see it.
