If one wanted to get philosophical one could look at the idea of dutching and this ensuing discussion in a more general light. It seems some want to deny the nature of the world in which we find ourselves: “Gambling is not based on probability.” Many lack faith in themselves and the ability to accurately assess reality. “Not even the best of us can make accurate evaluations.” And, what we do ant above all us is security. “Surely it’s safer to bet multiple horses even if you give away part of your edge.” I say, as in life so in gambling. Do not delude yourself. Trust in your own judgement. Calculate your risk but don’t seek to eliminate it. While it’s undeniable you have to stay in action in order to win in the long run, you can’t adopt a strategy that in its essence is only a slow death.
