@johnsaponaro J Lo left New York and lived in Hollywood for 30 years. All respect to Jenny in the block but someone that chooses to come here from anywhere and tries to make a life here is just as much of a New Yorker as she is.
@GfzviIudb@Fab0o0o 1) has nothing to do with “actual juice,” 2) I can assure you they don’t play some lame-as-shit gimmick cartoon noise when the PA announcer introduces the other team.
@leb_dct_cultist@Michael_Druggan Why would I play Option A at 5% odds to then go bet $200 at +45000 (0.2% implied probability) to win $90k when I can just cut out the middle step and get the same odds by picking option B from the jump.
@leb_dct_cultist@Michael_Druggan There’s no reason to dictate every decision you make by EV. In real life, risk tolerance isn’t fixed, it’s variable. You can, and should, consider variables outside of “is this the most optimal strategy in a vacuum”
@leb_dct_cultist@Michael_Druggan Sure, if you completely change the hypo, the conditions change. I am more risk tolerant in this situation.
Suppose another lottery where Option A is 90% to win 100 million and Option B 50% to win a billion. I’m going against EV here too, for completely different reasons.
@leb_dct_cultist@Michael_Druggan $200 doesn’t change my life. $90k does. I’ll sacrifice 10% in EV on the 450x multiple on a free spin.
If you’re paying to spin, any lottery is -EV, right? To optimize, just don’t play. But if you do, foregoing a 450x payout because you’ll lose 10% less in the long run is stupid.
