That's a really good point I hadn't thought of that. In theory, it's actually mathematically impossible for everyone to gain.ShaunWhite wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2017 5:35 pmLike the new BA version, everyones going to gain (apparently) so I hope that's at the expense of the bookies and punters and not each other.
But this is the thing. As edges become common knowledge, surely the person who had the edge originally is the first to realize it's fading away - & the first to go & adjust it. Similarly to a trend in a market. By the time the punters etc. are aware of the edge (trend goes exponential), the smart money/traders have already moved on to new ideas & avenues.
Could this graph accurately describe the lifecycle of an edge?
