Redietz, how unusual for your response to be a condescending, talk-down to 'putdown'.

No, I am not an expert on sports betting. But I do know a thing or two about expected value. Granted EV is very different for blackjack card counting compared to sports betting, but it is still EV. And there has to be something that makes it positive to achieve long-term winnings. I am just not a believer in continuously getting lucky. That is the issue I have with both Singer's and Mdogs claims.

No frankly, I DON'T want to read a 3000 word explanation. I would think a guy calling himself a sports betting expert for decades could explain his position in less than 3000 words.

Plus you have had the opportunity to go on GWAE and explain your position and have pretty much done everything you can to not make that happen.

See, this is an example of kewlJ talking out of his ass, which happens on too many occasions. How exactly do you know I had the opportunity to "go on GWAE and explain" my position? Don't be shy. Explain exactly how you know that?

Have you listened in on phone calls? Read emails back and forth? Talked to me privately about it? Corresponded with Munch or Dancer about it?

No?

Then how in God's name can you make the statements you just made?

You know how? Because you made the leap to stating something you know nothing about. Not unusual.

GWAE aside, can you imagine me telling kewlJ or any professional blackjack player his business? Fools rush in and all that.

It's becoming clear to me that most people use the "EV" jargon without making any real attempt to define "EV." If they made the attempt to pin down the definition of "EV" or even THEIR subjective definition of "EV," they'd be halfway home to understanding why it's not appropriate to use for sports betting.
