Even if you were working 3 jobs to build your bankroll, it still may be worth it to 'take shots' to get your bankroll soaring, especially if your bankroll is a) replaceable and b) growing slowly, but only if c) you have a proven edge.

Utility isn't looked into enough when gambling in general, and can throw a lot of EV calculations out of whack.

Take for example a typical casino bonus, deposit $50 get a $50 bonus, with 40x playthrough. The correct way to play this assuming your bankroll is large enough that losing $50 is meaningless is to bet the entire $100 in one hand. But if you win, isn't betting $200 now the correct play? And then $400? According to the EV model you would continue doubling your bet to $3200. While $50 may be meaningless, $3200 rarely is. The EV model has broken down, and utility comes into play.
Because it's what you said you'd do if your bankroll was under a certain figure. And pfft, "so often".

I agree with you as far as utility is concerned, and I'm certainly in no disagreement that if you're serious about gambling, taking shots while working jobs to build your bankroll can be a positive.

Name a few books that allow livebetting on which getting down 10K on the Thomson/Henderson fight was not possible. Go on, I'll wait.

Might want to fact check before saying something so stupid.

I was pretty clear in my original phrasing.

The guy has murdered me in splits versus Frankie, Gil and now Josh. I've lost $10K thanks to BS judging.

I'm actually legitimately annoyed. I dislike him strongly right now, even though I know how irrational that is.
If you want to think I'm lying, go ahead, but you should fact-check first. A lot of fact-checking.

You sure about that?

I got down 7000€ in one bet on the Johnson/Moraga fight. Pull your head out of your ass.

Limits are higher on 365 than any other betting site I've ever seen for MMA.

Oh? What were your limits on that fight, then? Were you betting the limit?

And obviously I'm not going to post my tickets from months ago just to prove a point to you. I wouldn't post the tickets if I had made the bet five minutes ago. Nunya also lost five figures live betting that fight and said so himself in the event thread. If you can't work out how that's possible, you're not too good at this "gambling" thing.

I dunno about 365. But I managed to get 6 bets in on Thomson at +105, +133, +182, +612, +616, +900.

365 limits different people different amounts as is the norm so maybe uve just been limited? Im limited to pennies on there from soccer betting yearsa go, so i have never bothered to check the live betting for mma on bet365.

They let you past that, though, right? If you exceed your max on Bet365, they'll allow the bet and then refer the excess to a trader. Have you tried that?
