Your post was actually not bad (pointing out the high variance of the Open) until here. At this point you informed everybody that you don't understand the fundamental concept of sports betting.
By this logic, whoever bet money on Jordan Spieth last Thursday was lighting money on fire. Whoever bet on Horschel, Streelman, Ken Duke, etc. prior to their wins this year was lighting money on fire. Whoever bet on Ted Potter Jr. at the Greenbriar last year should have sooner taken that money, rolled it into a ball, laminated it, and shoved it up their ass. Because in both cases the money disappears, but in the latter case, there's a non-zero chance it feels
good disappearing. Players cannot
win until they can
win. Sick circular logic.
Especially when applied to a guy who has
won more than anyone not named Snead.
