You'd already know that one can apply quantitative and/or qualitative assessment to most betting markets and be +EV. Since the sample size of this is small, it's likely more qualitative>quantitative. I'm guessing a lot of the skepticism ITT coes from the fact that the qualitative part isn't validated thoroughly although I'd have to re-read the whole thread to make sure.
In no way am I justifying that the model is validated profitably long term, that (ii) is just my assumption on what the model is based on in a little more detail, although because I know jack s**t about the model, I could be completely wrong also
my thoughts arguably (probably?) don't mean not much. seems like the model is kinda like darts where a pro is aiming for the 180 spot (or whatever spot yields the highest +EV) for your given turn...
EXCEPT in this case the thrower isn't a pro, it's actually an amateur who has studied the pro and thinks they should also take that route even though they don't have the necessary skills to make those shots.
as a result, going for the 180 spots off the bat for ex likely isn't the most +EV move for them given its difficulty.
iirc ProfEd isn't even the one who created said system/model, someone else did and he's just carrying on with it without likely actually knowing what it involves besides u5.5 when -200 fav.
I'm way too lazy but I'd love to know the success of a model that uses -180 favs or more. or perhaps -220 favs or more. is it possible there's an even better model out there?!?
more likely this is mostly just a buncha bull**** that some rec always bet on and all of a sudden it ran hot but in due time I'm quite convident it will revert back to the way it should which is unprofitable because I'm pretty sure that I see right thru this crap.
Kinda reminds me of sharkey or whatever his name was who 'started' out on that sick ass streak, went 'tout' and dumped a bunch if not all of it back. in b4 that likely happens w this unless we can stop it.
CLIFFS: I just wanted way too much time responding to an obvious troll thread cuz this 'system' as the title calls it is most likely a joke
