Professional Sportsbetting

[Half Smoke]

Math and money skills are alien to most people. I've had zero success over the years wising up friends or family.

He tries to bring his wife in on his AP slot plays. But if he leaves her alone, she'll lose the plot and switch to the wrong bet selection, or keep playing after the objective has been achieved.

there is an irony about APs and non APs in sports betting

APs could never be profitable if it wasn't for the non APs - it would be sharks vs. sharks

the sharks would quickly bet the lines up or down to their true probabilities - the only chance would be to bet right as the lines opened up from books - and they would all know that and would all be doing the same thing and it wouldn't be successful

the takeout (house holdback on the payouts) would eat the APs alive
