The Adventures of MDawg (in progress)

[kewlJ]

"the professor" concluded that at best maybe Bob Dietz broke even or made a very little bit of money sports betting

60K is likely considered a very little bit of money to a financier and hotshot options analyst.

After all, 60K may be less than MDawg's average bet per hand.

I'm lost here. What "tout pamphlet" is the academic referring to?

"Tipsters or Gypsters?" was well respected. Playbook kept publishing Wise Guys' records (two plays a week, every week of football) for decades.

And that's not even taking into account that McCusker locked handicappers into Friday/Sat lines, which degraded their records versus choosing when to bet at what lines. The degradation was generally between 1 and 2 if you were with him for years. And he locked you into lines from Leroy's.

You gotta love anonymous academics.

You know, the sad thing is, academics really should not play at being anonymous gamblers with Asian names. I mean, your entire academic career is based on being published with real data and attaching your actual name to what you have published and what you have to say. Being a Jekyll/Hyde by playing at anonymity online is a bizarre path for an academic.

And finally, the fact Billy Walters hired me blows the whole argument out of the water. What, you think one of the wealthiest men in gambling wasn't able to vet me? You think he wasn't able to evaluate me by performance and reputation? You think I fooled Walters? If that's your conclusion, you are truly an idiot.

This clown Dietz is unbelievable. reminder Dietz, Kim Lee came to this forum because you talked him up as an expert on the contest and tip sheets from the 80's He was YOUR expert. That is until he said the opposite about you than you thought he would. Now you refer to him as "the academic" as if to say "what does he know about sports betting, he is just an academic". You were right the first time. He is an expert on sports betting (and touting) from your era and called what you are/were 100% correct. he even got the part that you might have survived and broke even if someone was basically supporting you. I don't think he even knew your situation, but called it 100% correct.

So now you are back to dropping Billy Watters name. Billy Watters hired you as a runner for a few months. Those guys (top sports betters) went through runner like toilet paper back then.

If Mr Watters thinks so highly of you, drop him a line, get him over here and lets get you and him on a podcast (Druffs or Munchkins) and get to the bottom of this.
