Brunson seems to do pretty well without being a math nit.

1) Brunson is a professional sports better, it is rumored that Poker is a leisure activity compared to his sports betting enterprise profits (I doubt we will know anytime soon if thats true). This doesn't discount his poker playing skills, just that the big game isn't quite as big as it seems when you factor in the wagers he makes elsewhere. This little fact has always impressed me.

2) Dont believe the hype, Brunson and Chip are both gifted mathematically. Case in point, their sports betting once again. Brunson is a master salesperson, don't take everything for face value, he lets you know what he wants you to know and nothing more; which is part of his brilliance as a player.
