How do you work that out, my man?
Some people go for the big points no matter what. All season long they they will pick such-n-suck KO 5 or so-and-so KO 8. Using that strategy they are bound to hit four or five big point wins for 150 points under the new rules. Sure, under the old rules it would have been 250, but it doesn't matter to the shotgun wielders because they will play that way regardless. Now, a strategic player who finds himself behind during the stretch will have to win twice as many jackpots to overtake the blind luck man whose been on a streak.

I think the point deduction was meant to discourage "scattergun" play and I for one thought it would work. It didn't and may make catching them even harder.

I understand this POV can be easily debated.
