Settle This For Me ... PLEASE
For those who have missed CrazyLou's tennis threads this week, the subject of "value" is being brought to the forefront. The claims have been made by many on the board.
Or something along those lines. Lou even went as far as to say that the outcome of the bet was irrelevant as he felt it was most important to be getting the most value on a line. That I find utterly ridiculous, but like I said I want to hear everyone else on this.
Now sure, I do agree that if I like a bet I'll feel bad if I get it at say -130 when everyone else got it at say +100 or -110 or something like that ... but at the end of the day if it's a winner, it's a winner. If it's a loser, it's a loser.
Chime in here ...
A. Value
B. Correct Picks
I'm sure the mathematicians amongst us will chime in with the value argument and I would like to hear it, but for me there's one goal in this game and two things you do get there.
Goal: Making $$$$
Road to $$$$: Pick Winners, Manage Money
So let's hear it, I want to see all the different sides of this argument for both "value" and "winning".
If I beat the line that everyone else gets, I'll be a winner in the long run.
