What's important is your edge. No edge no bet

PS: Oh and making a profit too


I agree, edge is everything but most importantly as overall edge, not edge per bet. If a punter's account 'in' column has less in it than the 'out' column at the end of the month/year, perceived edge per bet is out of whack. Simple maths says if overall edge cannot be improved, reducing bets would reduce loss and increasing them would exacerbate loss.
