No, I don't think it would be wisest, for a lot of reasons.
But as far as "handicap stats like an asshole like me"
goes, don't forget about Tiger's contests, particularly the ones
where everyone continues to the end without elimination. I think
that Perry, Pelota Pete, and others have consistently come out
ahead - even without the Tiger Bucks. Using $2 WPS accounting,
my own selections have won as well. When you consider that the
contest does not allow you to skip games that are unfavorable
- as you should in real life - then the performance of the consistent
top-enders strongly supports the position that jai-alai can be
successfully handicapped in advance without on-the-go observation
and judgement.
Anyway, it is difficult to discuss jai-alai ideas and theory
without having a shared "conceptual framework" first.
Just as it would be almost impossible to put together a symphony
orchestra without answers to "What is a clarinet?",
"What are string instruments?" or "Sheet music
- what do you mean by that?", you also can't get far on the
more complex ideas without some ABC's of Jai-Alai Theory first.
