As I keep an eye on the Marist/Manhattan game on sportline [Go Foxes]and eagerly await my big one on Iowa State tonight, I feel the need expend a bit of nervous energy typing and ask at the world's largest sportsbar just what exactly constitutes a "sharp' vs a "square' IYO.
I felt as though a "sharp" is a guy who manages his money, jumps on virgin lines, understands point spread value, spends a good while before he dismissess a dog particularly a home one. You know all that stuff. I could list more.
However, I was surprised to see in some thread here sombody said something about a dime, multi-dime maybe 5 dime player as a necessary ingredient to being "sharp".
It took me by surprise a little bit as I have thought a "sharp" could be a grinder, maybe even a $200 player at times, who grinds his way to a sizeable bankroll and gives himself no timetable as to when he hits the "big time".
Any thoughts gentlemen?
