In Response To: Ughh, scratch the last sentence (Fabrice Liardet)

Thanks for pointing that out. I really should have read the whole thread carefully before answering.

So how did you analyse the match to seven case originally? Simple, straight-forward analysis of the painfully long binomial expression for the total winning chance depending on 13 variables or is there something more elegant?

With the above condition in place, I maintain that Bob's argument kicks ass.

Bob's argument is elegant, but for me the way from "every game is equally important" to "equal time allotting is correct" is still a bit foggy, although I am nearly convinced by "the more one thinks, the less the added value of an extra second".
