Title: +EV in the real world
Post by: Joker161 on December 04, 2012, 07:31:11 AM: I am doing a speech at school tonight and was hoping to talk about horse racing/poker and the importance of value. I thought it would be a good idea to ask the world of APAT for examples of real life decisions with +EV.

Looking forward to your responses!
