as said, they believe their money is better spent during the season. when you're betting high five figures/low six figures/game you don't have interest in tying the money up in july and august. i'm sure there are people on this board that can explain their reasoning but they are quite successful w/o loading up on futures. it doesn't mean they abstain from futures. i'm sure they pick off occasional +ev bets but they don't focus on it. the br size isn't the issue, as a matter of fact i know several gamblers who miss much better bets during the season b/c their money is tied up.
