I agree with Flash on this one. Why give up your edge when it's already so small and takes maybe an hour to learn? That's just laziness.
I don't know about you, but for myself, I don't see the need to memorize every different chart. I play in AC where its mostly 8D, occasionally 6D.
Then I travel to Vegas where I play a lot of SD and DD, as well as some 4D.
As some games are S17 and some are H17,thats ten different charts, plus some are not DAs, and others are D10-11 only.
As I'm a $5-$30 bettor, the difference between my generic chart and knowing the 15 charts I'd need is about a buffet dinner per year.
I only have so many brain cells and it's more important to me to know that Yaz won the 68 batting title with a .301 average and Ron Guidry went 25-3 with a 1.74 ERA in 1978.
Others may have different priorities.
I used to think it was vital to play the correct BS for each game, but was amazed just how little you lose by playing a less specialized one.
To me, it's just like indices. You can memorize three hundred of them, or you can memorize 13 of them and get 90% of the value. For a red chipper, the value just isn't there, imo.
