People have no idea what they are looking at, so they dress it up with jargon that really, outside of bonus whoring or middles shooting, is not applicable. Now I'm a big fan of bonus whoring and middles shooting, but realistically, they account for maybe 5% of what gets wagered in this country. So if people want to wave a magic EV wand when discussing bonus whoring and middles shooting, that's completely justifiable and correct. But if you are wading into actual straight betting and think you have some "EV" insight, you have literally no idea what you are doing. In this latter case, "EV" is just jargon in service of self-aggrandizing.
