Answer 1

i have no idea what you are talking about.

Answer 2

hggh

Answer 3

the further the point spread is between the players the more points are taken from the stronger one.   start playing people around ur own score and u wont lose so bad.

Answer 4

play someone that has a rating similar to you ......if you have a good rate and lose to a chump they take more points .....if you beat a chump you only get a few but losing to a chump can cost you big points ........and by a chump I mean someone with a much lower rate than you .........

Answer 5

The answer is simple , you are too good for the player that you are playing. your rating are way higher then theirs. As most advise from others, play someone thats around your rating so u will lose and gain about the same points.

Answer 6

Without using a mathematical explanation... this is the best I can do.

If everyone plays 10 games, and one wins 10, one wins 0, and the others are scattered in between, the ten wins would get the rating of 100, 0 of 0 and so on. If 100 plays 0, he is expected to win, and thus does not get rewarded with a high number of points (perhaps only 4). The 0 player does not get penalized, because he was expected to lose. So he only loses 4 and is at -4 while you were at 104. Say you wanted a rematch, however, and this time, he wins (maybe you pocketed the 8-ball too soon). Now, since he is -4 and you are 104, by the ratings you are supposed to be far superior to him and they are going to punish you/reward him with a lot of points. Now you're down to 81 and he's up to 19. should you rematch again and you beat him, you'd get 6 points (perhaps) instead of 4 because his rank is higher and yours is lower (than previously).

basically, it's all about distance between ratings. if a 1500 goes up against a 1200 and wins, it's not a surpise and therefore, not rewarded.
