But of course, each game that 5th player DOES attend, he reduces the chance of the other four of a win that game from 25% to 20%.He will also gain some benefit from the fact that if he skips every other game, he will be less likely to suffer from the "you hammered me last game, so I'm going after you this game" mentality. For that and his underdog status, he'll be seen as less of a threat and thus perhaps have a better chance of winning the games he does play.....
