There are situations where you're going to be able to ride it out and maybe hit something like that, but the majority of the time - your futures plays are for trading purposes. If you understand that, you can make money just like you can make a daily bet on a match IMO. You won't make a profit necessarily every tournament you try, but guess what - you don't make a profit necessarily playing single bets every day throughout a tourney either!

Futures IMO are still underutilized.
Dont see how you make money from this post. Dont get how you guarantee to make money when your guy passes first but loses the second.
