If I made a living for 15 years with a particular skill set, say shooting pool or shooting free throws for money, I sure wouldn't elaborate regarding how I did it or why. That's intellectual property. It's worth something.
What was your modivation to chime in in the first place? I was not asking how you did it. I think MR.V covered a few of my questions.
I hate to ask this agian, perhaps just an over or under will do. Do you think you had over or under a 4% advantage over all?
I don't even play craps.
My motivation was that it seemed like an illogical request. Unless somebody's on their death bed, and maybe not even then, why would they be motivated to explain details of how they did something?
While, as a civilian regarding craps, I find it strange no one tallied exact figures during or after practice runs, I can see the utility in not doing so. If I'm practicing free throws, I'm surely not going to jot down on a pad between shots a stroke for each shot and a line through it for a make. It would be onerous and interrupt the practicing. Now free throws I can keep in my head (at least up until a hundred) and there's no multiple numbers, so that's easy. Mentally keeping a craps tally in one's head seems tough. It would be like keeping some tally of "free throw hit back rim," "free throw was short," "free throw was off left," and so on. Hard to concentrate on what you're doing when you're keeping counts like that.
