Its about making money long term. Its not just picking one or 2 huge favorites....its picking which ones to take and which ones to leave alone and yeah, you're not gonna win every time but if you net money then you're good.
Is it smart to take a huge favorite to make a small amount of money? Prob not. But if that's your strategy...to take a bunch of huge (and not so huge) fav's over a period of time...then go for it. There's no guarantee but there is a method to the madness.
I've definitely gotten myself in trouble trying to chase by playing one big favorite to erase a bunch of losses...I've had it hit but I've also had it lose and just make things 3 times as bad.
Not that it matters...he can play it however he wants and I appreciate the posts/plays...but its kind of like playing basketball w baseball-like odds/strategy. Good luck and good play too...Heels are looking good esp vs bad teams!
