...and that's also not the way to convince ppl this is a game of skill.

Well, you just have to convince the ppl that a sample size of 15 is just way too small.

If you are clearly better than your opponent, say you play 2.5 and opp only 6.0 ER, you are only around 56% favorite to win the 3pt match. 56%! Not 80% or 85%.

And in the long run, you will get your share.

To me it is not so clear that we would need to convince ppl that BG is a game of skill, if we want to attract more players. What is needed is to demonstrate that BG is a lot of fun, exitement, thrill, and that anybody can be a (big) winner.

And I watched some matches in Cannes, and yes, I can tell you: quite a few of them were very exiting to watch and real nail biters!

Therefore, the fact that an online qualifier from France(!) won the big deal will probably be a good advertisement for BG, and maybe espescially in France.

PartoucheGroup is doing a good job overall.
