I realized there was a good chance he had mentally summarized "Modus Operandi" as "EV" in his head because "Modus Operandi" is not a phrase one runs into on forums all the time.
I certainly wouldn't lie about it. Go back and re-read my posts to mickey from the last year. I have been respectful 99% of the time, and restrained, because I think he is struggling a bit. As opposed, of course, to you. You're just an assclown, as Tony Stark says in Iron Man 2.
He is struggling???
Buddy they're taking you to a nursing home in a few weeks but lied about it. There is no fucking house being built lmao.
You might be nice to mickey but I'm not nice to you.
Only one person has consistently midapplied Expected Value and it isn't Mickey.
I get a kick out of people who think their opinion should be gilded with what, for 50 years, was considered a purely mathematical term. I'm not sure what to think of people who come to the conclusion that their subjective opinions deserve their own calculus with cute acronym labels. It's not so much that they are misapplying a math term; it's that they actually believe their subjective opinion is the nuts.
I hate to give away the farm on this, but you have to ask yourself, what would casinos prefer? What would sports books prefer? That people recognize when opinions are opinions, or that people label their opinions with math credentials so that they can "calculate" how much they'll be winning down the proverbial road?
