Guys I am wondering what I am missing? Caputoj3 says people are mad at Fezz for pulling down the play and Fezz says people are ripping him for the James prop. Where is all of this going on? Is there another thread or site that is bashing Fezz?
I commented on the James prop in his "Fezzik Focus" but not sure whether his anger was directed at me or not as I am sure other people share my viewpoint.
The whole thing about it is that due to the circumstances surrounding this series, I think it was a good bet. But I don't know how you Martingale a prop or why you would want to. Every bet should be viewed as one in a hundred or one in a thousand bets. Losing one is no big deal.
If you like the game 4 James prop, just hit again, for your normal amount or a little more if you think a greater edge is present. I don't think that game 4 James prop doubled in value since game 3 so why are you doubling your bets?
If you want to survive in this piece, then don't make any R&R trades, which is an acronnym for "Revenge" and "Retirement" trades. "Revenge" in the sense that you want to make your money back from a losing trade and "Retirement" in the sense that you are over-betting your bankroll, betting way too much on any single event or outcome.
With the Martingale system, you are playing Russian roulette or you are that Turkey, that lives its whole life, well fed and well taken care of until Thanksgiving rolls around and is slaughtered. The point is, when Martingale works, life is great, until it stops working and then the consequences are disastrous.
