Does anyone else lose on purpose?
I hate losing because i'm a winner, but sometimes under certain circumstances i lose on purpose. for example, when i play my friend who suffers from depression and lacks confidence i allow him to win for the sake of bumping up his ego persay.
i think everytime i play i go in knowing what im going to do and where i want to end up finish whether in first or last so i suppose im calculating in that matter. but being calculating is often perceived as a bad thing is it not? anyways, its sometimes give me the urge to spill the beans and tell my opponent i let them win when i have to hear them showboating but i contain that urge and suck it up everytime.

You shouldn't lie, but there is nothing wrong with losing on purpose. If they have a big ego about it then either don't let them win, challenge to a rematch and win on purpose, or say that you let them win because, chances are that they won't believe you anyway.

Sometimes in a H2H league when in the last week I can't change my playoff spot, I will lose intentionally to a guy that has an awful team and wasn't in the playoffs but was close so they can get in the playoffs and knock out a good team. It just gives me an easier first round matchup or just knocks out one more good team.

I play to win all the time no exceptions. Not even out of sympathy, because people will never know what it's like to win competitively if you hand it to them

Do something jointly with your existence, get a job pass to college get some targets guy. anticipate something, in case you think of you're meant for no longer something then what you're at present doing isn't making you chuffed. discover something or somebody that makes you hopeful and chuffed.

Go with your inner feelings, but if you decide to tell the truth, it also says you are living a lie:)
