Let me recap what has really happened here. Dietz invoked Kim Lees name, talking him up as an academic (which Red puts on a pedestal) and someone who had all the publications from the 1980's and 90's and knew all about the contests and rankings that are part of this handi-scamming operation of the 80s/90s era. I let Kim Lee know that Red had mentioned him and Kim Lee came here and gave his expert opinion, which happened to be the same as mine, mickey's axelwlolf, that Dietz was NOT the successful sports betting guru for 40 years but more of a "tout".
Having shared his expert opinion, which was opposite of what Dietz thought and hoped he might say, Dietz, MDOG and coach belly, the current troll patrol, are now out to discredit their very own expert witness, which happens in court all the time.
I feel bad that I ever contacted Kim Lee. I know he is a big boy and can handle the trolling and handle himself, but what was I thinking suggesting anyone visit this troll/sewer of a forum. I didn't really suggest that he come here, but I did open the door. For THAT I apologize Kim Lee.
Meanwhile Kim Lee's conclusion based on studying the publications is correct and almost exactly in line with what not only I, but mickey, and Axelwolf thought. That any money Dietz made in the sports betting arena came as a tout selling picks, not as a sports bettor making picks.
I particularly enjoyed the conclusion that Dietz might have broke even or made a little bit of money, if he had a GF or wife that supported him, paid the rent ect. This was particularly interesting because I don't think Kim Lee knew about Red's wife, a professor at a college in the town Red resides. And yet he hit it right on the head.
