Re(1): Payoff analysis (brief)

Hi Tiger,

Perhaps I am misinterpreting your payoff per dollar bet table, but it appears that the payout ratio was over 90% in Milford in 99 for six of the eight numbers. If the takeout percentage is 20%, I am trying to figure how that can be? I'm sure you can straighten out my thinking, since none of the 8 posts seems to have a takeout of 20%.

I do not favor random posts. Part of the excitement of the game is to see a well-handicapped game. Putting the best players in the low posts take some of the excitement out of the sport itself, as the combination of a superior player and a huge post position advantage often equals a lopsided game and a very low payout.
