OF COURSE there are winning gamblers who share what they know. For heaven's sake, the name "thaskalos" that I have chosen for my participation here is the Greek word for "teacher". I have more than 20,000 posts here...and a healthy percentage of them have been of the "teaching" variety. Do you suppose that I consider myself to be one of those who "can't do"?
You say that you "usually agree with most" of what I say here about gambling. Would you mind sharing with me what else about gambling you find yourself in disagreement with me on? Just because I have supported myself and my family solely by my gambling winnings over the last 14 years doesn't mean that I am not willing to learn from the likes who hang around with the Bill Benters of our sport.  |
Seems like I wasn't the only one in this thread who took your earlier post literally, but, regardless, it seems like we agree on this issue.
