Expected Value Discussion

[mickeycrimm]

Mickey--don't get snarky with me. Compare it with actual results to what end? What good does it do? We all know there is variance. Kewl is certain that in the long run he will approximate the EV. So what good does it do to look at it after the one bad day? If he is certain then it doesn't matter and he need not look at it.

If it is just a mental crutch then so be it. It may be meaningless to some but it may have some comfort to others. So be it. But don't make it sound like it has some other intrinsic value.

I'm ok with Kewl's answer from above.

You're the one that's been getting snarky. I didn't make it sound like it had some intrinsic value. Anyone who says I did is a fucking liar. Here, I'll make it a little easier on you and Mentalmidgetson. I "played off" $330 in EV today. It means the exact same thing as "I accumulated $330 in EV today." But maybe you can grasp "played off." There's no hope for Mentalmidgetson. And this bullshit about it comforting someone is total hogwash.

Mickey--how did you play off EV? Is there a special EV voucher that you put in the machine?

Fuck off, regnistupid.
