GWAE has had hundreds of guests, from somebody's to nobody's. Sure some famous people were on but also very obscure people were on GWAE. Yet, according to yourself you are the premier sportsbettor in the world.
Riddle me why GWAE decided not to have you on. What the hell did you tell those guys?
I'm so sorry I swept the board, mickey. My apologies, again, for that half-bet hedge loss on the third game. LOL.
Here's a thought. Why not ask GWAE yourself and report back here? I know, another logical gem that somehow eluded you.
Just a little over a hundred people read this thread, which isn't bad, given its location and time.
And in other news, my blog cracked a thousand this month, for the first time, which is surprising considering it has minimal publicity. Jean Scott mentioned my "Ninety-Six Frugal Hours" entry in the comments section of her latest blog.
And no, you are lying. Never said I was a premier, or even a big, sports bettor. You forget, I worked with Billy Walters, so I have no illusions about what constitutes a big or "premier" (there's a word with no real definition) sports bettor. But, it's also not some dude betting 4K a game and posting YouTube clips. It's also not Fezzik these days. The amounts I bet in my youth dwarf my current betting. On occasion, I lugged around six digits in tickets, and I wasn't close to being one of the bigger fish in Las Vegas at the time. Not close at all.
I'm arguably, historically, the best college football handicapper in the country. That's all I claim to be. I yam what I yam, as Popeye says.
And finally, can you imagine mickey's response had I lost? LOL. What a sleazeball.
P.S. To put things in perspective, anyone wondering about guys betting 4K a game on YouTube in 2023 versus the '80's and early '90's can simply do the inflation math. A 1K bet in 1980-something would be the equivalent of between 3K and 4K today. Usually I was lugging 20K or thereabouts, but there were a couple of years where I had to babysit 100K in tickets. And at any given time in the Stardust, there would be two or three guys, minimum, with more cash and tickets than me.
