If i am not mistaken this thread was started because a)you are mocking someone on the type of bets he/she makes b)Mocking how the amount of money he/she wagers for the return, or c)both.
What you fail to see is that every time you beat your chest you are just making the other person beat his/her chest as well.
Remember..."Imitation is the greatest form of flattery"

It's just an experiment to see how difficult it is to cap -500 to -2000 games
It is irrelevant how much money this makes because nobody in their right mind would put down $4500 to win $500. The risk is too great and is a recipe for disaster. One loss and you are screwed for weeks. Further, not many people have that kind of money to put down on games. Most people in here are $100 bettors at most. Many $25-$50 bettors. Therefore, who would put down $450 to win $50?? Hence, the only person who would actually bet these games is one playing with Monopoly money.
Ultimately, if you play $45 to win $5, you're going to need to play these 20 times in order to make $100...and is it worth it considering the very high risk? You lose two (18-2 record) which looks awesome but yours account balance is at $0.
Then why the experiment? to prove a point that a $25-$100 player shouldnt be making these type of plays? That an ROI of 11% is not worth the risk?
Ill assume you work and have a 401K or that maybe you invest in the market. Thus, hopefully you will understand what i am about to say. Wagering on sports is no different than putting money into your 401K and/or into the market.
Every quarter you receive a statement from your brokerage firm and what is the first thing you do? You look at what your return is. If your return is 11% i am pretty sure you are feeling pretty good.
Now i agree that one loss is a huge set back but if you are $100 player you wouldnt actually be wagering $475 or $925 (posted plays today) you might wager $100 to win $4.75 or $9.25. If a person cant pay his light bill because he/she lost a $100 then that person shouldnt even be wagering on sports to begin with.
So if darkstar keeps on hitting these "experimental" plays it a)promotes the fact that one can show a profit by playing them and b)encourages $25-$100 players to make these types of bets.
