    Longer you bet more likely to lose....
    More you travel, more likely of an incident....

    Pro sports betters accept frequent significant losses knowing that they profit in the end if their decisions are +EV.

    ^ had to look that up, thought East Vail initially....
    "You may have heard of the EV concept (expected value) in the past, especially if you play poker. It is a very important probability mathematics concept that applies to all gambling games, and even most real life situations. ... In short, EV is the expected value returned on any wager."

    i wonder how that would be applied to a real life situations like taking a crap

    The house survives on the juice
    In sports betting you are usually not getting even money back on spreads but rather just getting 90 cents on your dollar bet. I’d put the money line at +250 on a pow day. The equiv of getting $250 from a $100 bet
