A pro is a guy that's only source of income is gambling and for many many years. There are less than 5% in the world who fall in that category. A pro is not someone who still works another job or does It on and off. A real pro is a successful gambler whos main priority is to beat the books and does it. A real pro isn't going to post in forums, and start threads weeks before a play is posted. A real pro doesn't need to hype his threads telling to check back later when the play(s) will be "released" (silly touting routine)

Everyone has fans.. u do... I do.. I think your pro guidelines are a bit far reaching
. I think my definition is a bit more fair. Lol you talk of becoming a pro capper as if it's equivalent to the presidency.. and they should never share picks with public. I don't think that's A fair deliniation.. but hey we disagree..
Gl in your play tonight

I agree that this is 95% of the world (and likely 99.99999% of people on this site). To people here, it is a hobby and for some, an addiction. I straddle the line between the two lol

I only know 1 professional handicapper personally. He does not have a job besides wagering. He does not post in forums. He does not bet less than a couple dimes on anything and I've seen him lay down over 100k on a game 3x in the last 7yrs and he won all 3 times. He does not stop 5wks into a season and change sports. However he does take a break when he has a bad run NEVER when he is running good. I know a lot of guys that wager decent amounts(500-3k a play) including myself. Never in my wildest dreams would i label myself or any of them a "professional handicapper"

Real truth!! "Professional cappers" online tend to be professional touts. And no offense to Tate but his actions are very toutish. He even said one time he doesn't care about how much he wins, it's about how much we win off his picks. That's Tout 101 speak.
