In Response To: "Can" as in "do," no. "Can" as in "could," yes. (Stanford Wong)

"Telling the difference between a 57% game and a 53% game requires spending more time handicapping that game. Once you have studied a game enough to know that a team is worth betting, what would you rather do with your time? Do you keep looking into that same game trying to fine-tune your edge, or do you start looking at another game hoping to find another bet? Probably you are better off looking for another team to bet. "

if a capper weights his games, then that capper is saying he thinks one is a 57% and another is a 53%...and he backs up the truck on the 57% game and a 1 weight on the 53%. so for those cappers that do weight games, they do keep looking into that same game trying to fine-tune their edge. They don't think they are better off looking for antoher team to bet just yet (not that they won't get to it at some time later).

I love this, if you should bet more on the 57 then how much more... -- Ben -- 6 Jul 03, 7:50 am
