I don't want to pick on Red any more. I still believe he made a living for many years involved with sports betting. Not sure how much we are talking about be cause he hasn't really shared that.

In his day, shopping for lines was basically living in Las Vegas during the football season (which he says he did) and visiting all the books every day or several times a day. Now it is a completely different beast as players can do that, plus books from all over the word, from a desk in a room in the middle of nowhere. I think he resents that. As he does the bonuses and all the other things players are doing to grab an advantage. In short he just resents that it is 2023 and lots of other ways to make a buck from his day.

And I see a very similar attitude with some of the old school card counter blackjack players from 20-30 years ago. It is just the way it is. Even outside of gambling, I'll bet if you talk to some old school football players that don't like the changes to football. Can't hit the QB. Can't hit a receiver over the middle. All that stuff. Baseball rules are changing too. pitch clock this year, computerized strike zone on the horizon. There will be many pitchers from 20 years ago that hate these changes.

This is basically where I see red. He doesn't like these changes and things players can do to turn a buck. I am sure he will dispute this in a long post but that is what I see.
