Argue strategies and math all you like, but no name calling.
What is the matter with you people?
I wrote, “Only a complete fool would ignore doubling your bet on a split when computing optimal strategy or expected return.” Nick is not ignoring doubling your bet on a split (he repeats it over and over with every post), so my post was not calling him a fool. I did say I thought he was a troll, but I did not mean it in a name calling sense. I meant it as a forum troll. Note the definition of troll at http://curezone.com/forums/troll.asp :
“An “Internet troll” or “Forum Troll” is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.”
