I would argue that M/S is fair and imbalanced. Fair in that even when
someone has received a steep deline in their monthly cb, the total
amount of cb is still a fair amount usually in the .3-.5 range for
that shafted month. However there exists months when the cb is off
the scales good in the 2-3% range. It is as if M/S had a keno slot
machine that paid back 105% some months you would lose, but in the
long run you would be a net winner, playing a game you enjoy
recreationally...I wish someone would pay me to play golf.
I find it surprising how quickly people want to throw up their arms
and just say it is an irrational system ...I'll take my business
elsewhere...Amen!
If a small change in playing style changes weekly cb from $20 to $250
isn't it worth expending a little brain power to devise the
appropriate changes.
Sometimes a small amount of effort can reap large rewards. People
like Bob Dancer go nuts on playing perfect VP strategy...I'm amazed
how a small amount of effort to remove eggregeous playing mistakes, I
guess they didn't appear eggregeous before correction, can have
profound effects on expected return...it is relatively easy to reduce
sub-optimal play from ave. 2% to .1% and I would say worth the small
effort, it's the last roughly .1% that's a real chore.
