MonkeyFocker, I'm trying to think it through but in both of your suggestions don't they fit more easily into regular betting and only complicate a structured type of contest?

The same thinking goes along with having a set number of plays as well.

Don't take my questioning as arguing just trying to rationalize things.

Why shouldn't it resemble normal betting as much as possible? Not sure how it complicates anything. If you have a perceived edge greater than a normal wager, you should be able to bet it as you would normally (i.e. variable sized betting). As far as a set number of plays, I think its awkward to have to strategize a set number of plays in a season long contest. If you think you have an edge, you bet it. It's harder to fairly dictate how many plays a person should be betting than it is to simply have a minimum.

And just thinking outside the box, I'd really have no way of knowing that MF'r (driven by his utter disdain for me) was not supplying you with plays with substantial edge.

NOT saying that either of you would do that. Just pointing out that it's remotely possible.

Yeah. That's not happening.

We both have to use the same book one time common, pavy

You can do that. I'm just saying that over 200 min plays it wouldn't matter what lines each one get if they are within 5 cents.

What if Daft picks 10 less winners, but hits more dogs?

It won't be close over 200 plays. The winner will be with double digit units lead.

With this suggestion in mind then I propose we start with an equal (even if fictional) bankroll, we agree to a 200 game minimum (no maximum) and agree to play it out through the end of the World Series.

Without an equal bankroll (and without doing the math) it is possible for one to show more winning units but have a smaller ROI.



Daft, do you honestly think MonkeyFocker would share his edge with anyone including his mom if she were in need of a kidney transplant? I would be more apt to use Cali, Cami and Casper for help.

 

[roguejuror]

Yeah. That's not happening.

lol

I'm open to discussing it after I receive payment for the iifold challenge
