Default Re: To hedgers: Adding insult to injury

Do you really think avoiding betting $10 to win $11 (or even $1 to win $1.10!) is a reflection of your preferences on the outcomes, or is it an irrational desire to say that you don't gamble, or is it that you don't appreciate the difference between $11 and $10, but do understand the value of the much riskier activity of playing winning poker?

i really wish you would quit using your 11-10 ratio. a full hedger lost $25 which with a 3rd grade ed. you would realize this does not reflect 11-10 on $475 bet.

i wish you would respond to me OP.

although i will stick to my original reason for hedgers being +ev i would like to offer an explanation that the bet was not a coin flip as well.

if you got in with mansion at -5
you lose the coin flip if pitt wins by 4 or less
you win coin flip if wins by 6 or more

and since this was a free bet and were risking nothing you also LOSE if pitt wins by 5.

that sure is a funny looking coin. but i'll post my last one for ya so you can respond <font color="red"> </font> <font color="black"> </font>
