I read the article you mentioned about the challenge. That guys math was so bad it was a joke. He wanted to make the challenge using a 59% win rate. In his example he had 29 wins at 5000 for 145000. That really looks good but not once did he factor the 20 losses. They were using a 1.5 line so now you take 20 losses x 5000 x 1.5 which is 150000. So the winner lost 5K.
Not sure why people interject their opinion. Sure chases are risky but so is gambling. Let them be no one is twisting anyone's arm to play. I personally like to watch these things unfold and many times do the math for fun. 5K profit in hockey is quite a feat in itself. Congrats to the man that tried it.
The way I look at it is with Run Lines you're getting lines at +$$ so when say the first 2 games lose you're down 3 units. To cover the 3 units the 3rd game I put at 3 Units to cover what you're down and as the RL will 90% of the time be +$$ you'll still come out on top...especially when you've got 3 units at a line that will pay avg of +125 or so.... I see this way less risk more reward. But I see your side of it where it's the u it's you listed. If you wish to do this on your own feel free but I'm going to keep this as is. At least until it prooves itself you know. I know it worked in hockey, I know it did well last year but not posted here...we'll see how it goes 2 seasons in the money can talk me into making the unit change. Thanks for the heads up though
