Or trying to spread 1-50 at a double deck blackjack game or any number of other nonsensical claims that if someone tried, they could be harmed.
I just don't see anyone reading redietz claims and thinking I am going to try to get into sports betting contest for a living. I think that puts redietz (at least for me) much closer to claims by someone like evenbob/spike. If you don't believe him and that is fine, but no need to say too much as their is no real harm being done.
Now there is a second aspect to the claims by people like Singer, Mdawg, and even the late guy that posted as Moses/tater. As an AP, in my case a card counter, that works hard at what I do, and works hard to be able to do it, I am personally offended when someone comes along claiming things that just aren't the way it works. Claiming that they win everyday and casino personel just don't care for example.
So if there is some of that going on with some of you....like you are personally offended at Redietz claims when you work hard at being a successful sports bettor, I could more understand the animosity towards him. BUT, I don't see that either. Is there even anyone here claiming to be a professional sports bettor? Or even that sports betting makes up a significant part of their AP income? No. Not that I have read.
But what I have read some of you say (accountinQuestion, among others), is that you just don't like him, and he is arrogant and talks down to people. and that puts it in the just trolling, bullying someone you don't like category for me. Which of course is what this forum is now.
