When counters refer to overbetting.
1: Are they talking about, overbetting in proportion to our advantage?
2:Betting correctly, however, over betting in proportion to thier stake?
There seems to be a bit of confusion about overbetting, is this because the word has two different meanings? Could someone help clarify the difference.
As to #1, I guess it depends on ur total bankroll, bet ramp, game played, how u r playing it, etc and what ROR u r willing to accept in exchange for winning more per hour.
To me, if ur a counter and an AP, ur gonna know ahead of time how u want to bet for what game, accept that ROR compared to ur roll, and then play like a robot. So it's impossible to overbet until u maybe re-size ur bets after some losses if u want.
Ur gonna know how ur risk changes if the game changes from 70% to 80% or 60% penetration and then either change ur unit or quit the game or accept the risk.
As to #2 I don't see how both are possible. Either u know what ROR u r taking when u bet what and how compared to ur total roll or u don't. If u do, then u r willing to accept that risk and are not overbetting. If u don't, then ur just adding or subtracting 1 from the RC thinking u r an advantage player because u can count in a vaccuum but r clueless as to the effects of how u bet how much at what count in what game.
But of course that's just my theoretical point of view since, while I count, I don't consider myself an AP since I know I don't spread enuf to beat the game I'm playing and I know it.
How can a counter say he's "overbetting" without knowing what "overbetting" is? If he knew what it was, he wouldn't be doing it, would he?
