Lol you couldn’t be further from the truth. I trust ev and hardly need to lay at all any more. Most of my betting is value bets. I sharb multiple unplayable bets and take non sequential accas all the time. I have been doing high risk casino for years. I take huge amounts of each way value. I only avoid risk free offers when they are so low ev my ev/hour is better taken elsewhere.
Also lol at calling smarkets a decent exchange. Maybe if you rely on OM, PM, PA, etc. but those of us with vip account managers on BF and who mainly use the api would never dream of using smarkets for anything approaching decent volume.
The issue is that your fundamental understanding of MB is inherently flawed if you recommend “hoping to lose” which is a very common beginner’s mistake. It’s nothing whatsoever to do with being risk adverse, it’s just a basic misunderstanding of the statistical theory.
Please just retract your mistaken advice so innocent noobs don’t find this thread and dig themselves into a massive hole.
