sandbagging is losing games on purpose. say you lose 3 and its obvious that its on purpose. that's sandbagging. so it losing 500 games. there's no definite line, and sandbagging is not to be confused with tilting.

ok sandbagging is DEFENITELY creating a chess.com account , making your rating 2000 and 10 minz later, ur rating is 500 lol wink.png

tilt is unintentially losing rating

but sandbagging is intentially losing rating

 

I would say any intentional loss of rating for the purpose of competitive or financial advantage is sandbagging.

Agreed.

sandbagging is like purposely losing and then trolling other weak players

i wouldn't say trolling weak players, usually they lower their rating and beat higher players to make them lose rating

No idea; it's probably relative to actual strength.

I lost 10 games in a row.

Am I a sandbagger now?

You have to really just look at their games and how much/well they played to determine
