Redietz is the best.
Kewl and Singer are not a reason to visit this site. Their best forum days are behind them. The line has been shined on their little roach like ways and they've scampered into the cracks. Well - actually thats more Kewl and Singer.
Mdawg has turned into a robot of some sort but he was never a draw for me personally. Just a high stakes gambler writing his trip reports.
I really hope mcap was yanking people's chains. At least that's how I took it but who knows ...
Todd should be held accountable !!!!!Originally Posted by redietz

I guarantee you a relatively newcomer AP like Tom G is way more knowledgeable and better at sports betting than Red.
What a sweet-talker. One would suspect he really doesn't want me to be interviewed. LOL.
I mean, what self-respecting professional who has been doing something for 55 years wouldn't be thrilled with Axelwolf's stellar summary? Axelwolf, who probably has never bet sports with anyone shining any kind of light on him, figures he should be able to judge me with his expert "AP" mantle. He deigns to consider himself a better judge of sports betting than someone who carved out a profession and a reputation for 50 years. It's an odd arrogance, especially given that I'm supposed to agree to answer his questions, live no less.
I mean, geez, if this is how he treats an honored guest, imagine how he'd treat someone as lacking in "sports betting" experience as himself.
Now I gotta check to see if Axelwolf PM'ed me an email address so I can send him the Who's Who bio and my initial interview way back for the Steelers/Rams Super Bowl and my National Conference on Gambling and Risk-Taking paper and my gambling article in The Humanist. I figure those are good starting points for someone interviewing me, since they separate me from the usual crowd and make me a unique interview.
Anything to help out Axelwolf. He da man.
MDawg, out of curiosity, what's your take on Axelwolf's commentary prior to our interview? You think he's trying to get me to say "No mas?'"
This is actually funny stuff. Todd should be held accountable for this nonsense, one would think. But, as Woody Harrelson says in "Now You See Me," I'm feeling magnanimous. I'll still do it for a tenner.
hahahahahha
great stuff redietz. Please don't ever change.
I was going to make fun of you for inviting this guy who has nothing to do with sports betting but nah. Hopefully Todd can take multiple phonecalls. It'll tie up at least one incoming line...Originally Posted by redietz
but my hats off to you dietz. I like that you're inviting people you know to this. From my perspective it seems ballsy moreso than you needing emotional support.
My vantage of this is surely much different than yours. I am looking forward to listening and possibly participating briefly.
Aside from the slope and his usual nonsense, in today's posts I have yet to see where red is going to be interviewed ANYWHERE. And why should he? He's about as interesting as a 3-day old lobster roll.
Why even argue about it any more....
I regret I was referring to it as an interview. I just used whatever people were referring to it as. It's a show where Todd features guests, and you happened to be the main one featured. If people want to call it an interview, fine, Im not going to refer to it as such.Originally Posted by redietzOriginally Posted by AxelWolfI'm certainly not offended by that, if that's the case.Originally Posted by mcap

I'm not trying to sweet-talk you into anything(It's not that important to me.) But if you were expecting me to stroke your ego and tickle your balls, you are talking to the wrong person. I don't know how it wasn't/isn't obvious that I wanted to participate in order to debate some of the things I feel you have said that are BS or need further explanation. You might be 100% correct in everything you say. I say, let the listeners decide for themselves.
If you can't handle the pressure or have a fear of being derided by critics, I don't know what to say. Given my lack of sports betting knowledge and your criticisms of me, added to your vast knowledge and experience, this should be an absolute cake walk for you. Or...

That must be it, Axelwolf. I must admit, I have never been asked to do an interview with a warm-up like this. I hope you PM'ed me your email so I can send along the material for the interview.

Has Mr. Munchkin emailed you yet, mickey?
I know you'll share it since you're a stand-up guy.
You summoned him before I sent you a PM or we discussed much about my possible guest appearance on the show. Don't use "this is under strange circumstances" as an excuse. And even if it is a strange situation, is that how you handle and conduct yourself in strange situations?Originally Posted by redietzOriginally Posted by AxelWolfIs this some...The enemy of my enemy is my friend, BS?

Yes. He confirmed that you declined the interview he asked for a couple of years ago. However, he said in your recent contact with him you told him you are now willing to do an interview. Problem is, its pretty much to late with him. You’re about 2 years to late.Originally Posted by redietzOriginally Posted by mickeycrimmYou must be to stupid to know how to post the bio here.Originally Posted by redietz

I never declined any interview. If you want to put up a few bucks vis-a-vis a polygraph on that, I'm down for it. Munchkin was more interested in interviewing my superior half, so I felt it unseemly to push for moi. I understand that women make for more interesting interviews in gambling in general, so I wasn't offended. Plus she and he have some familial resonance.Originally Posted by mickeycrimmYes.

By the way, for those interested here is the Obituary of Mike Lee. He was given credibility by respected peers in the industry and was generally regarded as honest in a field where that’s a rare quality. But he definitely went big with the advertising of his services at the time so we are back to the question of why he felt the need to sell picks, buy infomercial time and sell books.
But Lem Banker, who was as respected as they come, did the same and fell in with Jim Feist in that era. Just selling picks doesn’t make you a losing gambler, it’s a great way to supplement your income. It’s sorting out the winners from the scammers, of that era and today, that becomes the issue.
Also here is a few excerpts from Lee’s baseball book. Nothing mind blowing now but at the time of publishing there wasn’t much of this stuff publicly available.
https://squarebettor.com/advice-tips...s-by-mike-lee/
I don't mind sharing that someone close to me spent a lot of time with Mike Lee in Las Vegas. His famous line to this person was, "There's the talent. Then there are the people who exploit the talent." He was referring to handicappers, and he was warning this person about the backstabbing and information-hijacking in that world. For example, Phil Steele, famous for his football annuals, is alleged to have hijacked a lot of Mike Lee's emphases and priorities. Not uncommon in any business, but especially bad when you just lift angles and emphases from original authors while not acknowledging (or paying) the original author.Originally Posted by The Boz
I had never met Lee but was of course aware of him since he and Salinas had partnered and won the Castaways at one point. I saw him at the Stardust at least once, giving a presentation during the famous Stardust head-to-head handicapper contest. I had some well-known people (one being Larry Fletcher aka "Southern Comfort") contact me because he saw distinct parallels between what Lee was doing and what I was doing. I was very young at the time. Lee and I were doing many of the same things statistically with the same emphases. But it was just different people coming to the same work-style. Fletcher hired me at one point even though he was working in tandem with Lee. His feeling was that since Lee and I were doing very similar things, if he got even one or two additional games during a season from me that he and Lee had missed, it was worth checking in for my lineup.
One important thing I learned from Fletcher was the idea that there were certain anomaly games that you just had to throw out. I was a stickler, too much a stickler, for incorporating all the stats of all the games. What Fletcher more or less helped me realize was that certain games, usually one per season per team (more or less), would just be anomalies, games that you were better served ignoring for the most part. When you extracted these games from a schedule, everything made a lot more consistent statistical sense. I was loathe to de-emphasize anything, but he was correct.

This seems lol to me but maybe I am the one who doesn't understand the full context.
The fascinat8ng thing about redietz is he never talks specifics ever except when name dropping names that people have by and large never heard of.

Good to know. You should probably tell the FBI. They waste a lot of taxpayer money on these things. You'll probably get a DOGE award.
