i can see if you are an ex-steward like vic and want to defend the stewards
or if you played ball with bobby bonds in the '60s and want to act like Barry Bonds wasn't on tons of gear...
"his head and muscle mass grow as part of normal aging. And Mark McGwire is actually popeye, and samy sosa is just a vampire or something...
Football is drug tested for steroids.
supertrainers don't use PEDs... "
maybe even a drug kingpin who claims there are no drugs or drugs don't negatively affect people
or huge regional bookie who claims it's 1000% on the level
where are you are coming from with the defense-of-honor?
do you have a reason for some kind of bias?
This isn't some 'fair maiden' who needs rescuing of her honor.
People occasionally cheat in gambling.
No. It is not as common as some gambling loser who will claim that 50% of his losses are 'fixed'.
but it's nearly as silly to think it's 100% clean.
do you have some special insight into this?
I honestly was never a referee in the NFL or a significant illigal bookmaker, but the few things out of millions/billions that I have
any competence in, in this existence on this planet are full of human beings and it's made me believe that a healthy apprehension is a healthy thing.
so maybe i'm jaded?
maybe everything else is angelic, and the few things in this world that I'm not average or much worse at are completely angelic?
I believe that you should demand to understand line-movement/odds etc... before you wager anything serious (or anything at all that you don't consider an entertainment vice).
I believe that even if you think you understand wager on sports or racing that you should build a little extra into your margin for safety and demand a really attractive price for yourself.
If things are angelic, and i'm wrong, maybe my opinion will cost you some churn in favor of a higher ROI?
people think even BODYbuilders don't use steroids
!!!
If this was your family member or wife or whatever, - I understand and respect defending their honor.
a regular FAN?? ; I do not understand it.
