The older things like violins get, the more their worth.
Reality is a bitch, blackhole. That's the way it goes. I give specifics; I list actual means of tracking records for decades. You give anonymous prattle. Opinions based on what? Your life? Your expertise?
Now explain to me again how finishing sixth in multiple handicapping contests versus thousands of people in each contest in 2020 is like winning tickets at call-in radio shows. Take your time. Spell it out. Think it through. Let me know how exactly you arrived at that conclusion. It's arguably the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Now do you have the self awareness and honesty to admit it's an absolutely idiotic comparison? Or are you committed to your stupidity?
You don't like the fact that there are rare people who win at gambling via skill, work, experience, and having the discipline to stay in their gambling lane. Well, there are. That's reality.
Handicapping isn't like telling tall tales of your last LV trip. There are won/loss records. There are decades of results recorded by third parties. You want to argue that "Tipsters or Gypsters?" somehow fixed its records for me? Or that those 2020 contests were all luck? Or that the tickets posted in the Retro Road Trip thread were either fabrications or evidence of occasional anomalous wins? That 30 years of Wise Guys Contest results were rigged even though the public had access to all the plays? Then go ahead and argue those points.
I understand your vitriol towards me winning. If I didn't exist, you could claim all winners -- Axelwolf, kewlJ, whomever -- were just lying blowhards running scams because nobody can publicly verify their abilities. You don't have that option with me. My stuff is tracked by third parties.
Final point: I offered to post modest recent tickets, in the 10K range, if anyone wanted proof. Blackhole read that and passed. Why do you think he passed?
