Now, on to blackhole.

I can't speak for anyone else, and I'm only obliquely an "AP," but you will not find one post where I said what I do is easy. You will not find one post where I said what I do can be duplicated by any reasonably intelligent person. You will not find one post where I recommend other people do what I do.

In fact, I'm not sure you'll even find a post where I recommend sports gambling as a new path or option for anybody on this forum. It can be beaten, but I don't recommend it.

It's incredibly difficult, you have to be extraordinarily disciplined, you have to be in top physical shape so you can apply yourself round-the-clock.

The very first interview I gave, back in 1979, I was asked what advice I had for those interested in betting on sports. My answer was "That's easy. Don't."

Someone asked me later what was required to win at sports gambling, and my response was, "Oh, off the top of my head, be in the top 1% of the population in any kind of intelligence test. Be in the top 1% in cardio fitness so you can work round the clock. Grow up in an area that's steeped in football, so you can learn the stats of the game before you turn 12. And be street wise, because you need to be one step ahead of everybody else."

No yellow brick road, blackhole. It's damned difficult. I'm wrong 44% of the time, and proud of it.
