Poll question: what combination of negative expectation bets will yield a player advantage?

I'm sure every last possible choice is listed. Pick as many as you want.

(*) I know it won't. The "thing" to end all "things" never does. It's a well established principle. But the name is catchy.

There's another two minutes of my life I won't get back.

I should have ignored this thread when I saw the author's - ahem - name.

For most, perhaps, but not for the AP's.

I don't think it would change (expectations from the forum being negative) if I were an AP instead of what I am doing now.

Learning to do AP is not, from my perspective, a primary function of the forum.

Certainly not if you look at the average weighted expected value on a per-post basis.

Gambling forum = negative expectation forum

Or if you prefer good, old Aristotle:

Gambling consists of negative expectation games
WoV is a gambling forum
WoV deals with negative expectation games.

That combination which is received with hope, joy and expectation of a good time to be had by all together with a remembrance of excitement and free booze to boot.

I'm just curious to see what color will win.
There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

I voted red because I don't think anyone wins at craps. I play craps to give back my video poker winnings.

I voted for every color except orange. It was in the lead at the time.


That explains it. I only voted Orange in honor of Dutch National Team (World Cup) Kicking Spain's ass is still on my DVR!

Maybe I should register as 'NotLemieux66" and give orange another vote!

Very true. AP aspects are a secondary aspect of the forum, but seem to take up at least a decent amount of traffic especially as of late.

BTW, I consider myself an AP but most of that is Poker. I don't pass up other opportunities, though, especially when they're right in front of me.

I'm curious why the OP even bothered with this poll. Feels vaguely familiar though...

You are not insinuating troll like behavior are you?

Would you care to point out what combination of negative expectation bets yields a player advantage? Or are you busy milking it at the casinos?
