LOL. That's something, like the tooth fairy and Santa Claus, people tell themselves to justify why they think they're getting something for nothing.

I like that analogy. May have to copyright it.

"The math" is personal speculation. It's like anuses. Everybody has one and some are more full of it than others. I can't copyright that. Somebody beat me to it.

There's nothing wrong with personal speculation. Heuristics. That's the gist of sports betting. Just don't call it "the math" or "EV." That's like calling your pickup line in a bar "The Method."

One of my partners always asks, "If you have the 60K, why do you need the 1.3?"

And finally, if it's correct that Fezzik rarely plays that type of money, I hope for his sake that he did not repeat his faux pas from 10 or 12 years ago. That would have been a Nicky Santoro kind of faux pas.
LOL Where do the numbers come from for sides, totals and money lines if no math is involved. Can you get a noted professional sportsbettor to agree with you? No, you can't. So far, saying no math is involved is the stupidest thing you've ever said.

Who said Fezzik needed the 1.3K? He obviously didn't need the 60K or he wouldn't have bet it.
