I don't understand what is gained. What's the profit? Simply falling seems to draw the appropriate response from the referee. Writhing in pain on the pitch doesn't gain the player much (although maybe someone can enlighten me).
That's the point. By falling, one can entice the referee into making a favorable call, so one's team can gain an advantage. other times, the ref may unjustly punish an opponent, which still benefits the actor. Since such a strategy is profitable,then it makes sense that certain players do this.

Writhing in pain or pulling such dramatic stunts makes the unreal seem more real. other times, it may might the case that the player is actually hurt. It can be difficult to determine.


well, there's good performers and bad performers, so some may be better at eliciting the desired response from the ref more than others.

I acknowledge the tangible benefit of falling on the ground. I will continue to not acknowledge any benefits from writing on the ground in fake pain. Someone needs to explain that better.

Heh heh - I said "writing in pain."

Isn't there a potentially disastrous result if a player writhes on the ground? What if the referee does not call a penalty? Play continues and you have a player doing the Curly on the ground.

Yeh but just like "only the captian is allowed to address the ref" how often is that really acted on?

I would prefer the players werent booked and it was just a standard foul, that way refs would be more inclined to use it.
