I'll ask again. How can you rate two different line betting handicappers the same when both have the same results but one is betting $100/game, the other $500? Both great cappers, way different ""total money won". And could we have a discussion about it without being dicks? This isn't Covers...
For the 7th time. The guy betting 100 does not have to work as hard as the guy betting 1000. Take it from someone who has made a living beating 100 dollar max bets. Im no math expert, believe me...the 100-500 dollar stuff is childs play. I used to beat them doing the numbers in my head.
Now, amassing a giant stable of accounts like these and keeping them in action and finding more and more of them so that youre actually betting more than 1000 on stuff youre only supposed to be getting 100 on, thats whole other skill entirely and something I have found myself to be quite excellent at. But again, thats different, and the bets themselves are a joke. For the purposes of this discussion, the guys that are betting into like 100k markets arent even in the same universe as the guys like me. If theyre eeking out 1% edge its still way better than my 9% edge. So now do you see why ROI isnt the end all be all?
