I had to double check my math when I figured the theoretical hold on this futures board because I couldn't believe it could possibly be that high, but sure enough, THEY ARE CHARGING A 42.6% HOLD RATE.
On a 9 entry futures bet, to charge a 42.6% hold borders on criminality. Sure, I understand they won't get high volume. and want to protect their exposure, so 12-17%, while on the high side, is understandable. 42.5% ? ARE YOU #$*%#&& KIDDING ME?
Vegas corps like Caesars aren't bookmakers, they're corporate thieves, catering to the sucker and the sap (like lotteries, state video gaming,most casino games,and horse racing). And these are the "legitimate" Nevada outlets people want to have serve online poker in the US?
