| note: You generally need to go over 55% to do better | ||||||||
| than break even at the book… | ||||||||
| Tony never had the lead for the entire season. He also had problems | ||||||||
| just waking up and getting his bets turned in on time (a problem | ||||||||
| that I generously overlooked). Now he owes me $100. I'm thinking | ||||||||
| that he should send it to me in brand new singles so that I can go | ||||||||
| "make it rain" in his name at the local skank watering hole. | ||||||||
| About "the take"… Assuming that we could have found a book that | ||||||||
| would have taken a straight up win bet at a standard 10% vig and | ||||||||
| that we wagered $100 on every game… This is what the results | ||||||||
| would have been. Unfortunately, no book will take straight bets at | ||||||||
| those odds, especially for all the heavy favorite betting. So this part | ||||||||
| is kind of silly. | ||||||||
