I've never been intimidated by algorithms or deterred by the opposition raking in rebates. For every yin, there must be a yang. That is not to say I am blissfully unaware that beating the windows has become more difficult with the continued rise of computer syndicates. I more attribute that rise, by the way, to increasingly better handicappers feeding the circuitry than to more inspired geekery. Brilliance in =brilliance out. There was a time, fellow board members, when guys like ourselves could rely on better knowledge of the game and the seasoned, intuitive computer between our ears to level the playing field. But that "edge" may have all but evaporated.
Excellent thread...much more to say...but my day job calls as we strive to close entries for Sunday................
