Re: Say you were a bookie....
Not to mention the fact that a chimpanzee figures to hit 50% of his picks. This customer has simply been running very badly - admitedly for a rather long time.
At 10-12 games per week with 15 weeks in the season and an average bet of $50 he (the customer) should be down no more than $500 for the season; even if he bets his maximum ($ 200) on all 18 bowls his loss should be no more than 6 or 7 hundred.
I'm not saying the player is due, only that his losses for the next (and all future) seasons figure to be no more than 4.76% of his total action . . . less still if he chooses to avail himself of the one of the many 'books that charge -105 and even less if he shops for the best price.
