where your obvious disgust of online books comes from?

Isn't there inherent risk in everything we do- as bettors/investors?

In other words- isn't it simply part of a calculation?

For example: You can find -1200 on war emblem to NOT win the derby at a brick and mortar casino.

You find -800 on the same prop at an internet book.

Shouldn't you simply figure out how much you save by betting/investing at the online book- and appropriately weigh the risk?

Of course- you can't put an exact figure on the risk- but you can't put an exact figure on how good the investment is either. Isn't everything we do- part of a best guess/estimate?

Don't get me wrong- i understand how terrible it would be to win- and not get paid- but it would be bad also to lay -1200 instead of -800 if you think your chances of getting paid on the -800 prop are solid.

Sorry for the length of the post- im just curious- where your disgust/distrust/distaste come from.

BTW- i'm not sitting here with rose-colored glasses- i appreciate the risks- but you're tone implies that every online book is simply a scheme- and im curious as to why.

Thanks in advance.
