No disrespect meant toward anyone. I got a snide comment from an "Irish" dude and he thought the fact that I felt the need to identify that I am a 25 year sports bettor veteran in Las Vegas was somehow arrogant.
It was only my intent to present my credentials not to swell my ego. If I were taking advice from a handicapper, I sure in heck would want the dude to placing his own money on the picks he is giving other people. I do ! Every pick I have given in this forum are picks that I have my own money on. You can sit down and make picks on paper all you want, until you place your money on the picks, you have no real credibility. You see, you don't have the pressure of losing money you have worked for. There is altogether another dynamic involved when you are betting your own money on picks you give out.
Once again, no disrespect meant toward anyone, but I am just curious how many people in this forum actually place wagers on their picks ?
I completely understand if you come here and handicapp because you love sports. I am simply responding to the angry comment I got from "Irish" dude.
