A 10-12% return goal has nothing to do with having a 10-12% edge. Can you read? Have you ever talked to a financial advisor or sat down in a bank?

The reading comprehension is mind-blowing.

And "IIRC" is great unless you don't recall it correctly. LOL. You got it wrong, as in completely wrong.

I have to think this is all trolling, especially since the website snapshot was from the early 90's.

Now I have a serious question, Axelwolf. Did you drink alcohol before posting? I can't imagine a sober Axelwolf could misinterpet 10-12% return as a 10-12% edge FOR EVERY SINGLE EVENT. How could anyone who ever set foot into a bank? Or anyone who seriously gambled?

There is something seriously wrong with someone who reads 10-12% return as meaning "for every single event." That is some brain-dead reading comprehension.

Unbelievable.
I'm 100% sober,.I don't drink at home, I don't drink daily, I don't drink weekly it just depends on the situation and what I'm doing. I might go for weeks without having a drink. Sometimes I might have only one or 2, and sometimes I might drink all night. I have drank since Supebowl Sunday.

I read that days ago and did t even pay much attention.
I don't remember exactly what you were claiming.

Where did I say on every event. Explain why it matters what you start with. Are you saying if someone started with only 10k they would only make 1200 bucks? What if their betting units were just as big at the guy who started with 1000k?

Tell us, what was the person's average ev percentage per game, approximately how many games. If one had a 100k bankroll what was their average bet size per game?

You completely misrepresented (in other words, lied about) everything on that site. You went on some ridiculous rant about somebody making 10-12% during a season being filthy rich.

All your questions can be found in "Tipsters or Gypsters?" -- McCusker did ROI tallies.

You flat-out lied about the site and what I was saying.

How about this -- you backtrack, apologize, actually read what's on the site, track down the old "Tipsters or Gypsters?" with the ROI analyses, and stop expecting me to tolerate your blatant, sloppy, lazy lies.
I only commented on that one thing on that site. I doubt I'm the only person who would think the same. I'm going to ask a few people to read that and ask them what they understand it to mean.

IIRC means just that, it's a pre-admission I could be wrong.

I do honestly apologize for misinterpreting what was written and for not diving deeper or clarifying with you.

Can you kindly explain to me some of my questions or link to the appropriate page where it's explained?

Another question(s). If someone were to invest 200k why would they make 20k-24k and a 100k investor only make 10-12k?
I get how that works if you're investing in a business or something like that but I'm trying to understand how that worked within a sports betting business model. Did you just pool everyone's money and investors got the appropriate percentage based on their investment? How much money could you get down on those bets, was it basically unlimited? I ask because I see a situation where a limited amount of money can actually be bet leaving a situation where someone could overinvest more money than needed thus diluting smaller investors' percentages. For example, let's say I have a play that only requires a 10k bankroll and it's and I find an investor that invests 5k I decide I want a bigger percentage and then put up 200k.

What was your cut?
Did you also invest and put up your money with the same percentages and risk? How much per game on average was being bet?
