Another classic of the genre "why would I need you?"
- yathaid 2y agoI will play: - they do not know how useful the skill is. (Cocks solved the public-key cryptography problem without knowing what it would be used for) - they do not have the cash to invest => just a straight up lack of capital to make the ROI worth it. - they are unable to bet in the geography they reside in => you need a middle man who can bet on your behalf. But let's comment on a throwaway line in an otherwise interesting article. I wonder if this counts as bike-shedding. Or maybe a classic of the genre "why was this comment needed?"
- pinkmuffinere 2y agoThis comment thread is strange. I think you both raise interesting points, but are also rather hostile. Why not just respond sincerely? You have interesting things to say.
- yathaid 2y agoI felt OP was needlessly negative. In classic internet fashion, I added to that negativity. Not proud of it.
- omgwtfbyobbq 2y agoWhy do you think they are insincere? They could sincerely be hostile and raise interesting points.
- toxik 2y agoEh, it’s just some sass.
- lesuorac 2y agoIn general, betting operators will throttle you down to 0$. So there's actually a lot of work/skill involved in bypassing the limits so that you can continue to place bets. Just knowing the existence of an arbitrage doesn't mean you have the opportunity to take advantage of it.
