Everybody loves the favorite

My take here is 1) Holm and Hansen are both Danes and, I presume, friends; and 2) Holm probably plays in much more the same style as Hansen and thus is more comfortable with it and not as familiar with Koca; and 3) according to Koca the early Snowie rating results showed he played at 6.4 and Hansen at 3.0. So, Hansen did apparently play somewhat better.

But, as we all know, such ratings are only indicative of level of play.

I thought the comments somewhat biased toward Hansen but they did give Koca credit due on several occasions -- like the 1 away-3 away pass.

I thought the "stumbled across the finish line" comment was completely uncalled for -- didn't Hansen have the first joker 5-5 in the final game before Koca countered several rolls later with the second joker 5-5?

Overall, I don't think Koca should concern himself with any bias, if it existed. I think it was generally benign and not malicious. And, anyway, Bob's got the trophy, the money, and the seat in WSOB playoff.

As we say in the States: "scoreboard".
