Re(3): Logic-wise, you missed a key point

My comment about "almost always wins" was not intended sarcastically. For me, if someone claims that they do well, AND they perform accordingly in a public contest, then their credibilty goes up.

Here are the top 10 finishers from Tiger's "Spring Fling II":

   name         bets   wins  ratio  profit   % profit
=====================================================
 1 pelotapete    88     20    4.4    121.8     69.2
 2 Daniel I      87     21    4.1    124.8     71.7
 3 TR            88     22    4.0    106.4     60.5
 4 steve r       88     21    4.2    101.6     57.7
 5 Perry         88     19    4.6    100.8     57.3
 6 Chris A       88     19    4.6     93.8     53.3
 7 Craig G       88     20    4.4     91.6     52.0
 8 George Z      75     18    4.2     84.8     56.5
 9 Bar           88     15    5.9     79.6     45.2
10 hefty5k       88     16    5.5     65.8     37.4

On the face of it, Daniel I looks like the winner, but there were some bonus TigerBucks involved which made a tiny differnce.

I think that in that particular contest the standout handicapping picks came through with a vengeance, and therefore most contestants did very well. But the fact remains that picking 1 out of 4.4 winners - if done consistently - WOULD definitely translate to winning "almost all the time".

So spelling, grammar, puntuation, and logical organization aside, pelotapete deserves some respect.
