Professional Sportsbetting

Redietz says EV can't be measured for future sports betting events as if he is the final authority. He's not. But many other pro sports bettors say EV can be measured and they use the term in future tense. So instead of saying "EV can't be measured in sports betting" redietz should say "MY OPINION is EV can't be measured in sports betting."

Expected Value can only be used in future tense. Maybe it is the initials that are throwing Dietz for a loop. Maybe he spelled out the words expected value each time, it would make more sense to him that it is an expectation of future results.

If you want me to discuss this further, call into the radio show. You missed the whole point of the tense discussion. My fault; Garnabby can probably explain it to you.

"EV" should be a probabilistic term applied to random event projections. Oh hell, I'm not going to make you guys appear smarter than you are by tipping off the spiel. Call in and argue your points.

I love you guys.
