Yeah don't get me wrong it isn't about "making money" for me. But I'd prefer to just hand Fedor Shane and FIller 20 each than have the entire $100 of my $100 buyback effectly disappear(as far as I'm concerned anyway). I will still likely buy back of course because that $100 is far cheaper...
Biggest issue with the derby is the payouts. And those are only an issue because none of the rebuy money goes to the prize pool. That money is redistributed to the master of the table which only can truly be won by 5-6 guys(at the top) and another 5-6 guys maybe for the 2-3rd money. Getting into...
I like staying off property myself. Yes, I can't just run take a quick nap in the room but I also don't have the incessant draw of the casino that gets the better of me more often than not. To be able to get away easily is clutch, FOR ME. I also like being closer to more food options as we all...

My opponent played a nasty safety on the 6 ball...
Yes of course there are but with the consistent breaks in between every race and the short races you simply never will see what I said already in my last post.
Good old fashioned "long" races have one big thing that the best of short races can never have. The chance of a big dramatic comeback. OOOOOO someone was down 0-3 and won 4-3, big deal happens all the damn time and isn't all that unlikely. Someone is down 7-8-9 to 0 and comes back to win, thats...
This reminds me of poker solvers. People can get really in the weeds with this stuff. Nerd Fodder more than anything. That's not meant to be an insult at all, more just to say that these numbers are not particularly predictive/reliable in ONE MATCH or even ONE EVENT. Over the course of 1000...
