It's a judgement call. If your futures bomb, and you go on a killer tear in straight plays, then you did the wrong thing. Usually, though, if you know what you're doing with one, you know what you're doing with the other.
You know, it just occurred to me. I answered these queries incorrectly. LarryS didn't specifically ask about me betting futures. He asked a generalized set of questions about betting futures. If LarryS or anyone else I didn't know asked me, "Should I bet futures?", I would answer no. I don't think 99.9% of bettors have any business betting sports, much less futures. So when I report that I was going to Las Vegas to scout and bet futures, that's about me doing something. It's not about me recommending that anyone else do it.
I wanted to be clear about that.
