I get a kick out of the term "sharps." And "value lines." Nothing like some meaningless jargon so you sound as if you know something beyond the ken of the "squares."

Old joke:

How do you know you're a "sharp?"
Because you're sharp enough to know it.

I await the definition of "value line" with bated breath.
Fair enough that you wrote this for Alan's site.

Value line, +EV, whatever you wish to call it. Everyone else knows what I mean.

Redietz can never criticize on substance. He has been caught ridiculing terminology used to well known successful sports bettors. Clowntastic.

Pick'em contest master.

You've been called out so many times.

Embarrassing.

The fact that a man can have such little shame.

You are another version of Kewl.

You don't even seem to grasp a line can have value.

You can never win an argument on substance because frankly you don't understand cash betting and the concept of a line having value.

A grown man taking picture posing with another man's car then lacking in shame to post it on the internet as a brag. (Witness the picture in my profile pic)

Yet you claim you handicap all this stuff down to the spread.

It makes no sense unless you're simply lacking in comprehension of that much.

LOL on many of the above.

First, the only reason you know it's not my car is that I said it. I am particularly tickled by the line about posing with another man's car. If you'll notice, I was posing next to the plate, which I found really funny. That was the point of the pic. Now, about posing with another man's car. That car was customized. Unlike most vehicles, the customization actually reduces the resale value of limited-edition Lamborghinis, but it does make it unique. Here's the thing -- if posing with another man's car is a bad thing, many, many people did a bad thing as that car was featured on the splash panel of the Playboy website for a long time. The Playboy mansion requested a shoot with the vehicle, so Gary loaned it to the mansion for the photo shoot. Many wealthy people were posing with that vehicle throughout the day of the shoot. The car is uniquely customized and considered a work of art.

Second, the ATS stuff posted above is sheer nonsense. The last five years of the publication of "Tipsters or Gypsters?" I was the top college profit person (ATS) three of the five. And over 30 years of two ATS games every week of every football season, I either had the best or second-best record in The Wise Guys Contest. Account, ATS means "against the spread," in case that eludes you. Why do you keep blatantly lying about this? It's unbecoming to tell lies.

You still have no definition of "value line." Let's hear it, genius. Billy Walters, all 200 million of him, uses the word value in his book, but never the phrase "value line." I wonder why.

Anonymous wannabees playing pretend. I am really looking forward to that definition of "value line."

And here's the funny kicker. I can use the Lambo any time I like. And I'm not paying insurance on it. Talk about "AP plays!"
