ItÂ’s been years but I remember a line from Super System or Theory of Poker that said good players should have more bad beats put on them because they get the money in good more than bad players.
Does this apply to sportsbetting and horse racing as well? It is a lot easier to define bad beat in poker but it would seem to me that taking the best of it, is taking the best of it.
I don’t gamble professionally by any stretch of the imagination and don’t plan to. However, I’ve beat the “house” 4/5 years in my nfl/college football pickem league (ATS with lines fluctuating with the market based on bovada lines). Our league commissioner keeps track of bad beats and puts it in the spread sheet. I busted out our last 3 years of data today while I was bored and it seemed like the better players had many more bad beats than the people who don’t do as well. Could something similar be at play?
I havenÂ’t gone in and verified if he really counts true bad beats. An example of one of mine was BYU total under when both teams decided to run uptempo the second half in a route (I watched this game and bet a wad on it in vegas and it still makes me sick
)
