+EV in the real world
« 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!

Those poor children.

Parents sending their children to a nice school in Brighton to prepare them for life and having them taught about gambling by a degenerate, who has been known to play poker tournaments with his fellow degenerates until deep into the night/morning before he his teaching, is -EV.
