There must be a threshhold to meet the common ownership requirement. Probably a good idea, especially as partnerships become more and more popular.

I haven't really worked out the math, but I assumed that breakeven pre-rebate was their optimum performance level. If they're already at breakeven, and they make additional bets that bring their...

But since "k" always has the same spoken sound and "c" doesn't, wouldn't "Lukas" have been the correct phonetic spelling anyway? :confused:

Since you're curious, I'll explain that I don't think anyone called you an "idiot", and the critical responses you got had absolutely nothing to do with playing exotics. And it doesn't surprise me...

And so is the takeout. Maybe my question wasn't clear. Why is a 15% rebate on a 25% takeout bet better than a 7% rebate on a 17% bet? It seems that either way, you're more or less betting into an...

Doesn't this make it a wash? If the take minus their rebate is always the same, why would they have a reason to prefer either?

the P4 came back almost 50% higher than a parlay. Seems pretty generous.

You say that as if this isn't helpful. What more do you want a rebate to do? Fix your dinner and tuck you in at bedtime? :confused:

Again, if you are betting one half of 1%, and we're not talking low-hit-rate exotics, and you manage to burn through $50k, that's not a losing streak, it's evidence that you're not a winning player.

What are you talking about? Your question didn't start out, "Can one earn a living at this?". You were asking if $50,000 was a large enough starting bankroll. If the question has turned to bankroll...

No, you're adding a new variable to the equation. If we're talking about low percentage wagers, then .005 is too aggressive. I may be wrong, but I don't think many pros operating a low percentage...

If you're betting .005 of your bankroll, and you go broke in a month, you're obviously barking up the wrong tree, so discussions of bankroll sizing are irrelevant.
