With mickeycrimm and redietz both on a mission to discredit the other, I am going to offer some opinions on each. You all know my thinking, that it just isn't that hard to figure out who knows what they are talking about and who is just talking.

Redietz: I have no doubt that redietz has made a living as a sports better for many years. As a matter of fact, what he does, a lot of contests and stuff, is something I hadn't even considered. I thought sports betters bet on games. This was a whole new angle for me and I must say, sort of crosses more into advantage play than just betting individual games. I would also be surprised if mickeycrimm doesn't know that redietz is who he claims.

I haven't mentioned it but one thing I don't like about redietz's claim about mickey is that mickey wouldn't know about larger w-2's because he is generally a lower limit slot AP. Tasha (of all people) said this about me when I opined that Mdog's claims didn't cut the mustard. Well here is the thing: While I don't play at Mdogs betting levels and play high limit rooms (I actually try to avoid them) and mickey may not play such high limits as to be getting w-2's for 10's or 100's of thousand of dollars, as real players who play for a living, we know and talk to people. Players that play those limits, dealers and casino workers. When you are a real player, spending a lot, maybe too much , time in casinos, you get to know people on BOTH sides and how things work. So that arguement that so and so doesn't play those limits is out the window as far as I am concerned. Real players know, talk to and network with players and casino personel on BOTh sides and know how things work, even if it is something they aren't doing themselves.

Now mickey: Redietz is sarcastically saying mickey wins at all things. I have never heard mickey claim all that much about winning from sports betting. Same with Poker. And I specifically recently asked him about his blackjack card counting history. I am not saying he hasn't won some money from any of these things, he probably has, simply because mickey is one of the most complete AP's I have encountered. And I think redietz knows that too, so I don't know why either is on this mission to discredit the other.

And as far as redietz, not announcing his picks prior to the games, well this is a Rob Singer talking point that mickey is now repeating. OMG, imagine a professional level sportsbetter NOT sharing his picks on a public board before the game. Unheard of isn't it!!! Kind of like how AP's don't share a machine play or table game side bet opportunity on a public forum until well after it has played out. Unheard of right?
