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.

Yeah, how about that? Another Mensa-level observation from account.

I thought the "AP" logic was that if someone was winning, they would keep how they were winning (for the most part) to themselves? No? My error.

I wish these "APs" would make up their minds about proper protocol. I'm easily confused.
There is a huge difference between keeping a specific play worth 4 figures an hour at a specific casino to themselves, versus talking about the where, when, and how to beat something like Full Pay Deuces wild.

If you had a specific online casino that had fucked up +EV numbers then you should keep that shit to yourself.

If you find a place giving out 5k loss rebates, you should keep that to yourself.

If you want to talk about half juice Fridays or whatever, it's not a big deal.

If you're sitting at a poker table with two rich idiots straddling all in from all positions, you probably shouldn't tweet your location.

If a particular casino has good poker games on Friday nights, tweet about it all you want.

If you're using Unibated or some other service to pick up $100 a day on arbs and whatnot, it's not a big deal.

If you figured out something unknown to most other Advantage Players that creates a significant +EV opportunity, you should keep that in your circle.

If you want to teach someone all the good tricks and skills needed on how to find and mine for gold, go for it, just don't tell them where your rich lode is.

A good Advantage Player/pro sports bettor should know what he should and shouldn't divulge. I highly doubt you're doing anything related to handicapping that isn't well known.

Well, Axelwolf, let me give an example of a quick flaw in your logic. I don't have an eidetic memory, but I used to have something close (if the strange words bother you, ask Shackleford) when it came to football. I could take the Sunday LA Times page of college stats, study it for half an hour, then spit back not precise but very close numbers for every game, covering almost all of the major statistical categories. Now it's true I wasn't doing anything other people couldn't do, if they had a couple of days instead of a few minutes to study the stats. But regardless, the fact remained that I could do in a few minutes what it would take most other people hours, or days, to do. I was essentially adding hours, if not days, to applying the stats in my head as opposed to having to spend time learning them.

The bottom line -- while I wasn't doing anything different from other people in this instance, I was doing it much, much faster.

And I agree that I probably am not doing anything that's not well known -- LOL. I'm just doing more of it better.

Another example -- everything in a football season is time-related. You have hours to process info before lines come out Sunday night, then you have to act. Speed is everything because you need to get the best of numbers, especially in college football where you may have a third of the schedule moving two points or more any given week. And you have to be able to anticipate regarding where lines are likely to move, which is something I happen to be very, very good at.

Now if you hadn't considered the need for speed, then you really have no idea what you're dealing with on a weekly basis.

Again, Axelwolf with some insults. Axelwolf, which handicappers have you dialed up to discuss me? Because if you haven't done journalistic due diligence, why type an opinion with no information? I mean, it's just stupid. You think your opinion means something. It means nothing. You're an anonymous "AP" who thinks he's the master of all things. It's basically ridiculous. When it comes to sports betting, Boz probably knows ten times what you know, and has better judgement.
