Professional Sportsbetting

Wrap up: And finally, regarding self-importance, I think a college football specialist who preaches that knowing a specific sport, i

Looks like Bob Dietz has made a shift from 40 year professional sports bettor to "college football specialist". Fitting that he did so when discussing self-importance.

So the former blackjack card counter, now "blackjack specialist" has a question. Same question I asked back when I was a lowly card counter and not a "blackjack specialist". What kind of money did you (Dietz) make FROM BETTING, not selling, as a "college football specialist?"


We are still back to the same facts that Kim Lee studying all the publications that you mentioned concluded that a winning rate (even as a college football specialist) that would not allow for anything more than breaking even or winning small potatoes. So, it is relevant. How Much? Give a number.

Because frankly, a "college football specialist" who spent 4 months a year, EVERY year in Las Vegas, and lived in the low-end temporary housing that you did, doesn't really square with the grandeur of this new "college football specialist" title. And that is before we even get into the ability to pay your taxes....your singular living expense after inheriting a house.

Or maybe I have to wait for an answer from an interview that is never going to happen. That seems to be your game now...stringing along to an interview that YOU KNOW is never going to happen.

Three banal and obvious comments:

1) Why someone would think I inherited the house at 1412 Forest Dale Lane is beyond me. The house is in Tennessee. Every relative I have lived in Pennsylvania, Delaware, or New Jersey. But the fact that some anonymous idiot thinks he's scoring points by declaring this is bizarre. I WISH some fine Tennessee resident had decided to will me a home gratis.

2) Mr. Walters has all the money in the world, and access to every bit of sports gambling information on the planet. So the fact he actually considered and consulted me probably means something. Unless, of course, you are an anonymous handle playing at being a blackjack player, in which case it counts for nothing.

3) It doesn't matter if somebody wagers a penny a game if the ATS record is there in black-and-white, stretching back decades. What matters is the documented record of somebody doing this, not how much they wagered per game. Mr. Walters didn't give a rats ass what amounts you wagered per game. What matters is whether you won. And obviously, occasionally, as in the futures tickets posted in the Retro Road Trip thread (not a full accounting, mind you, but a good chunk), I won a little bit. And obviously, if I tallied up half a million in wagers here (say, Oddsmaker) and there (say, Northbet), I have managed to wager a little here and there, especially since I really only bet one sport.

But all of this is obvious and goes without saying.

And Kewlj, I'm moving on up to the East Side in two weeks. Drop on in, baby! We're in the shadow of Bristol Motor Speedway, so we won't be hard to find. I'm sure we'll host Singer and Boz at some point. You may as well join the crowd.

KewlJ, you may as well give up on the anonymous declarations where you get half the facts dead wrong. I'm here, in the flesh, willing to host real people in a real place. Willing to go on broadcasts as a real person who has done real things. Willing to have lunch with any gambling luminary on the planet. And unlike the VCT resident Dracula, able to have his photo taken and sit down with actual gambling writers and real filmmakers.

You are basically, as Tony Stark says at the beginning of Iron Man 3, an assclown.
