Shshh!! It is a secret.
« on: February 23, 2009, 10:48:40 PM »
I would presume most would look at a tournament as a competition where you are out to beat as many of the competition as you can. And hopefully win as much money as possible.

Then why if I bowl in a tournament before you should I tell you anything I learned that would help you score better on the same condition?

Wouldn’t this only be hurting my own chances?

When asked I generally just say my game is so unique that anything I learned wouldn’t help them.

Where does friendship begin and where does friendship end?

If it ends at the sign of the dollar bill, it wasn't much of a friendship to begin with.

If you guys really want a secret weapon, it comes in 4oz, 8oz, and 32oz bottles.

lol.

Bowling is one of those sports, where no matter how good you are you can have a bad day and no matter how good you bowled, someone bowled better. I have no problem sharing information I gathered to better prep future bowlers.

Most of my friends who bowl are on my team so it isn't an issue. Any others I would try to help.

One issue is the guy coming on a board like this and asking how to play the lanes. Now for the most part if they are asking on a bulletin board they probably are not a big threat, particularly since they don't know my game. But still why would I help them take money from me?

The other is the random guy in the house who knows my game and that I bowled in a tournament with some success but is not a friend. Again I might give general information at best.
