    Simple Question for serious cappers

    If i bet 2000 games
    I bet at +105 and it closes at -105
    will I be ahead or behind after 2000 games?

    Isn't the answer dependent on how many of the 2000 wagers you win?

    You will be up because here you are giving a perfect example of being THE bookie. You are receiving -105 bets which means you are +105 for every wager. You will win long term due to the vig.

    You have a 12.27% probability of having a loss after those 2k bets and a little over 50% probability of doubling your bankroll with fixed stakes.

    You know this math, why do you ask stuff like this to invoke discussion about something that's been discussed 10 000 times?

    if you believe the market becomes more efficient from open to close you will be up. that belief has been the topic of many arguments in this forum. Most people agree that this criterion is generally true. I certainly do.

    I believe the same but it is certainly worthy of continued conversation since people are of the opinion that they can overcome this
