       To invite a loss is to eventually have a loss enforced upon one.

       In the TROM book, The Games Paradox is listed as:
       A. All games are played for fun
       B. To always win is no fun.
       C. To invite a loss is to eventually have a loss enforced upon
       one.
       D. Thus eventual failure is the end result of all games.
       My question is: what does it mean to invite a loss? Could
       someone give an example of this? I realize that all transactions
       between endpoints represents a game, but my thinking is in
       professional sports: the teams compete with 100% of their
       ability to win the championship and are seriously dejected when
       they do not win.

       First you must broaden you understanding of games. Every
       interaction between people or groups can be games when their
       postulates are in conflict and there are games within games
       within games.
       So your professional teams are in a game and at the same time
       the individual players and in the game for personal financial
       gain and the sensation generated by game play and two game
       players in the professional game my be in competition to be the
       most valuable player on the team etc.etc.etc.
       As a game player gets very skilled at playing a game he gets
       bored as there is little chance of loss so he play half
       heartedly and gives the opponent a increase chance to win.  You
       have probably seen a movie where a bully is so strong he toys
       with the kid he is picking on.  The kid gets in a lucky punch
       and hits the bully in the balls thus winning the match.
       The bully invited a loss by not playing the game to the utmost
       of his skill.
