For those interested, the poster going as
Phatboy is a very legitimate poster. Just thought I would pass that on to anybody interested.
JR, I assume that when you say bet 2% of your bankroll, that you do not go down as your bankroll diminishes. In other words if you begin with $10,000 and are betting 2 % a game and are now down to $9,000, do you stick with the same $200 a game or do you go down to $180 a game. Personally, I never lower my bets, because I do not like to bet more on losers than winners. Losing run at 200, winning run at 180........Based on my style of play, if I bet parlays, and I have that very bad run that saps much or even most of my bankroll(which is why I like to only increase bankroll with half of profits), I will lose even more money on parlays, and if I were using your theory of equal units on games and parlays, I would be in some big, big trouble.
Unlike you, I am not saying my way is the best way or the only way, but it is the approach that I like.
In regards to the vig issue, like I said above if based on your actual long run percentages, a game should be -122(55% game) and you only are laying -110 than in actuality you are getting vig, not giving it, no matter who pays the vig.
