    Math -- Gabe Style

    Everybody's talking crazy about quarters and math. Fawk that shit...

    They obviously don't know how to talk to you Gabe.

    So there's 3 herb dealers in your neighborhood.

    And you're desperate for cash.

    So you go see dealer #1 and he wants too much money for his stuff. It's going to be really hard to make a dime. So you pass.

    Dealer #2 is even more desperate than you for cash, so he discounts his latest crop deep. You're excited cause you're going to make some cake.

    Dealer #3 is going to sell you an OZ at a slight discount. You're still seeing VALUE (and maybe even SQUID).

    Now here's your pop quiz:

    Do you go back to dealer #1, buy some of this stuff and create a new "custom blend" by mixing herb 1, 2 and 3 to resell? Or do you just ignore dealer #1 and buy from dealer #2 and #3?

    You buy out all the suppliers on credit. You'd have to be stupid to think that Gabe isn't going to sell 100% of it at a profit.

    What has this got to do with coin flips or Okami vs Roberts, weed has nothing to do with either IDIOTS!

    Oh and you go back to number 1 and buy him out because he promised his stuff was way better, which means it sells faster and therefore makes more money.

    Yeah, it's the only play I like today. It's a gut play. Main reasoning is the pitching match-up. I think Maholm will outperform Volquez.

    By not only looking at the matchup but looking more carefully on the prices.

    If dealer #1 Offers a delicious Lombard-haze weed. But its still priced higher than lsd then its not a good bet....or good weed to buy. Yes, its lombard haze it will make you stone but drain your wallet.

    Dealer #2 Offers Cerrone ITD.....cheap price and guarantee stoner.

    Dealer #3 Offers Holloway-haze which is good price for the taste.

    Just buy a lot from dealer #2 and buy moderate to dealer #3. **** dealer #1! Forget the math, he will rape you.

    Volquez is a head case, hes either putting up zeros or totally imploding. What did you get the Braves at?

    Which book let you put Bermudez twice? I WANT THAT DEAL! lol

    To answer your question: Lentz-Cerrone-Okami-Bermudez-EBERSOLE is the same as #1.

    If the stash didn't have value buying it alone. Then it's not worth of mixing with the rest of the buds.

    I meant Henderson...

    Ebersole didn't fight this week, and all of the fighters I thought were overjuiced won, so this time it was worth it.

    I gave a guy 3-1 that a coinflip wouldn't come up heads. It came up tails, so it was worth it.

    Hilarious thread. Gabe, your handicapping does seem pretty good, how many hours of tape study do you generally do? Its a shame you don't embrace the value side of betting and intertwine it with your capping brah.. I'm slowly coming around to it myself. I just read "conquering risk attacking vegas and wall street" you should check it out.

    i'll check it out, thanks.

    hours of tape study? each fight? hmm... probably not even an hour, especially if they're fights i've already seen before. sometimes, i don't need to watch tape. for example, i didn't need to watch any tape at all for holloway vs lawrence, because i felt like i knew how it would turn out. worst case scenario, holloway would lose the first round and win the next two, but i was confident he would be able to win all three. i feel like these were two fighters i pretty much knew really well, mostly 'cos i did a lot of research on them a long time ago for previous bouts.
