Happy Sunday QOH , I hope you have a great year.
I've never been big on limits or quotas , if you like 2 games or if you like 8 games you gotta play what you like ...BUT , i'm glad to see you thinking about playing less plays. Heres my thoughts ...
The LVH contest is perfect with 5 picks. 5 is still a small enough number that sharps and pros feel like their handicapping accumen gives them an edge , BUT its just large enough of a number to bring just enough luck into the equation that recreational joes can take their 1500 dollar shot at a huge jackpot.
If the LVH called for 3 picks you would lose a lot of the recreational jackpot guys as they know they couldn't hang with the skilled cappers ..... yet , if the LVH called for 7 picks you would lose a lot of the pros and sharps as they would feel like a scratch golfer entering a handicapped tournament (there advantage would be minimized)
...But while 5 is the perfect number for a contest , its a terrible number for a gambler making strait bets.
