The biggest reason I don't think redietz ever did well at sports betting is that he mocks the concept of EV.

If you don't use EV, then how do you know when to not bet?

Just bet your single best pick every week? Top 2? Do you just go off a hunch?

There are also reasons why Redietz seems to mock the idea of people being kicked off books or readily limited. Maybe it is because he is betting all over the place and his action is never seen as that sharp?

Which would be fine if that was part of your strategy and not just an unintentional side effect of place a decent amount of bets expected to lose.

All his records are for these contests where EV is not particularly relevant. You gotta make your best pick each week even if it isn't +EV. Then from that you start to see yourself as a real sports bettor because you're competing with mopes and not professional organizations.
