I didn't say handicrapping, I said sports betting.
There is this strange pissing, dick measuring mentality on this and other forums, that what other players do, make, claim, somehow effects or diminishes what you have accomplished. I don't subscribe to that in any way, as 90% of advantage players that dedicate themselves to full-time advantage play, do better than I do financially. I still do pretty elementary stuff and mid level stakes where I can achieve some longevity.

BUT Redietz, like many here DO subscribe to that mentality, and that is why Dietz has gotten so bent out of shape about some advantage players doing some things to make money in the world of sports betting. Whatever he has accomplished, including I guess being a successful tout (business) for many years is in no way diminished because some APs are finding some opportunities in sports betting.

I guess it all boils down to insecurity about what you do and have done. Come to think of it, so much shit on these forums comes down to people's insecurities.
