I enjoy both Ubercapper's AND his Twitter "opponent"s content. There's a really good 2-part interview with the latter in the archives of Jason Beem's podcast - these remain his most-downloaded episodes. If you're interested, they can be found by googling "Inside the Pylons BetAmerica."
Ubercapper, I do appreciate your taking the highest road possible in the full exchange, which I was glad to read
. The two of you were pretty much talking past each other. He seemed totally focused on overall ROI, and ignored the volatility aspect, which you were trying to emphasize.
There's a reason good investment professionals hand out those risk tolerance assessments. Some can handle the wild swings of lower W%, higher ROI wagering, without it affecting the way they approach the next race in the middle of a long streak of losers. Many, including myself, would not be able to handicap as well when faced with that.
