This is right.
Players have found a way to have a computer invest thousands of dollars onto combinations to EXACTLY reflect their opinion.....before these computers that were betting for people, those bettors had to "construct" part wheels and that was much more inefficient. With all bettors having to deal with same inefficiencies, there were times when any one of us would make a "good hit" and actually get paid excess money (overlay) for that score. Those times we actually got paid more than we were supposed to were the buffers for the times when we made losing bets. Now, when you win, you only get what you're supposed to (or less) and not any extra.
As far as the original post goes, i wonder if the death of Dan Borislow is a factor, maybe this guy was betting hundreds of millions into the pools and now that money isn't being bet, could this be a factor? I dont know if Borislow was an everyday player or not, but his handle is gone so by definition, betting pools are smaller, not sure how much of a whale he was though on an everyday basis.
