Cubing points

[trophyhunt]

I like the idea of cubing points at 25, you'd think that would help top point holders.  That would give me 24,389 points for quality and bull elk, mud flow here I come...

How many are there with OIL points?  Gonna take a big barrel.

yeah, OIL’s would prob not increase your odds much for a while, but I have to think overall odds for the highest point holders in all catagories could get better.  It’s something

Actually not a bad idea.  Cubing points after 15 or 20 for non OIL makes sense.  I have 20+ in most quality and oil.  Would be nice to maybe draw a quality in my dream spot once before I die.

I wonder what that would do to the odds (not that it would likely matter)? There are a whole lotta people with alotta points.

This is dumb.  They are MOIL tags not OIL.  You “might” draw once in your lifetime.  We are not entitled to a tag.

Quality should not be OIL.

Split these posts out from the trapping thread and moved here.

Quality tags are OIL if you are lucky, Even with 20+ points odds are that it will take another 15 years to draw on average.   Maybe this year maybe in 30 years.  I doubt there will be draws in 30 years.

Squaring points was one of the dumbest things we could have done so cubing points would be… dumber²

[Gentrys]

Since I have 18+ points in most categories, I like that they square points.
However, if I ever draw and have to start back at 0 the following year, I doubt I'll buy applications for that type of hunt again.
Even after 5 years of applying, you'd only have your name in the hat 25 times and would be up against hundreds of other hunters with 20+ points equalling 400+ entries each in the draw.
No thanks!

Points are simply nothing more than a revenue generator; whether you have 1 point or 10 you’re only getting one name in the hat. They square you points and give you a hundred different numbers they take that lowest number from that and that is your chance to draw. If the number is lower than everyone else’s then you draw that hunt. Numbers are based off 0-infinity and are completely random.

It's all a con-game to make you think your odds increased by giving you more points but everyone gets more points. But, I've got a billion points, I better buy, buy, buy because I'm sure to get drawn this year.

Someone with more points has better odds of drawing than someone with fewer points. Both may have poor odds.
