Sandbagging is when you intentionally lose games. I don't think there is a name for what the OP was asking.

I was thinking "sandbagger" as well, but I feel like there has to be a better term. It's definitely like sandbagging in that it's artificially changing their rating but in some regards its the complete opposite. Sandbaggers try to artificially lower their ratings for kicks, but he's doing the artificially inflating his. I appreciate the response though.

i found a better term, don't know if it's offical or not.. but it's called "lemon fixing" it means the same as sandbagging but in a more toxic way.

I don't know how valid the strategy is, though. When you lose to someone rated far below you, you lose LOTS of rating points.
I guess you could make up your own name for it - call it "helium ballooning", idk...

What's it called again when a player inflates their rating by playing only low rated opponents. Met an 1800 the other day on twitch, but I reviewed his games, and all his wins came from opponents rated below 1000.
It's called "Lame."
It's also a long slow crawl upward. Then when you inflate yourself against peanuts and then play someone half decent, you go bust. Total waste of time.

The problem with this rating farming is that eventually one of the goobers will eventually beat you. Then you have to win another 35 games to make up the lost ground, at which time you'll lose another game. Let's face it, someone who has to resort to such nonsense to win points, really can't be very good.

Actually, it is reverse.
As there is +800 elo diffference, 1800 must win x100 times than equally rated opponent.
If 1800 play 1000, and if he get,
100/100 win = 1 win against 1800.
99/100 win= 1 draw against 1800
98/100 win= 1 loss against 1800
In general, it is harder to get 100/100 win against -800 lower rated opponent than 1 win against equally rated opponents.
That is why, there is 400 elo bracket among Titled norm tournments. ( lower rated player cant be more than -400 elo lower than the targeted rating).

Exactly.
In general you'll deflate your rating by playing a lot of lower rated people.

Actually you cannot really artificially increase your rating by playing low rated players. If anything the reverse is true.

Boosting. But what you said is allowed. You ARE NOT allowed to arrange a win or loss to inflate/deflate a rating.
