Winning Streak v Losing Streak V Draw
-
The pub got into quite a fierce debate on the weekend over a commentators quip that the draw had ended the Chiefs losing streak.
I was quite surprised that a few people said it hadn't ended the streak as they hadn't won.
What are folks thoughts on here? Dose a draw end a winning or losing streak?

LLLLLLD
Something's different...

Yep - it ends both streaks.
However the team after a draw is also still 'unbeaten' or 'yet to win' depending on the situation.
Ie, the chiefs are yet to win a game this year....

IMO, only if they've actually played.
The declared draw between the Highlanders and Crusaders hasn't ended the Saders' winning streak IMO.

Yeah well thats obvious. I dont think that was the question tho.....

@JK Several media are saying that their winning streak has ended though, which I think is bullshit.
Agree with the rest of your previous post, btw.

It ends a losing streak. Which is less important than ending a winless streak IMO
Take the Blues for example. The last win against an NZ side was 26th Feb 2016. Since then - 20 fuck'n winless matches
But there was a draw midway through that against the Chiefs! So it's only a 9 match losing streak
I don't think anyone really cares that the winless streak has a draw in the middle

Sounds like something newshub or nzherald would do.
Its far from logical

Agreed. A draw after a run of losses is almost rubbing salt into the wounds.
In the reverse though I would say undefeated and x-wins-on-the-trot are virtually the same regardless of the odd draw in there (see the AB's 43 match undefeated streak at Eden Park - most would not consider that being "broken" by the Lions draw).
