Professional Sportsbetting

[redietz]

This is the final time, I am going to tell you this Dietz.

You are NOT a professional gambler, sports bettor, even blackjack player, unless you gamble your own money (accept the risk), win more than you lose and really support yourself off that money.

If someone else is supporting you, you are NOT a professional gambler (sports bettor).

If you money comes from something else, like selling picks (tout) or even selling encyclopedias, or vacuum cleaners, you are NOT a professional gambler.

A professional gambler supports themselves by gambling. They may have to start damn small as they build a bankroll, but they are betting (risking) their own money).

Here is the test of a professional gambler. You don't win, you don't eat or pay rent. You don't have some college professor supporting you whether you win or lose.

What a fucking Joke.

Other than the fact that my wife died 25 years ago, you're spot on. But congrats for that trip down memory lane.

I suppose for the last 25 years, I've been pretending to win handicapping football, which is how I've suckered so many individuals into supporting me for decades while I've been losing. Boy, I must talk a helluva game to do this for 45 years and there are literally no complaints about a Bob Dietz's Integrity Sports anywhere on the internet. Plus I sweettalked the most successful sports gambler of all time into hiring me. I must be a regular Charles Xavier.

I appreciate everyone's patience and good will. Especially Mr. Walters. He's known for his philanthropy, after all. Ask anybody.

It's a good thing I took those KewlJ 101 classes and learned that "I'm not Gay. But $20 is $20."

That $20 a pop (and I do mean a pop) adds up in the long run.

P.S. Actually, kewlJ, despite his proclamations about being a professional gambler, is incorrect. If someone is operating on a percentage of profit basis and doesn't get paid if he loses, that person is actually the epitome of professional gambling. He either wins and makes money or he doesn't. An attorney who gets paid only after winning a case is in the same situation. That, my friends, is truly gambling.

You know, the whole KewlJ schtick is about presenting partial information and arguing his case dishonestly. If you're going to argue that I'm relying on my late wife, I think it's reasonable to mention that she died 25 years ago. It's pretty tasteless that you would leave that little detail out of the equation. See, this is why you are a dishonest little twit who other posters swore made more money under a table than at it.

You know, that last line was pretty good. MDawg, feel free to use it and get some T-shirts printed up.
