Look in the Mirror - You are the Public

I balance capping and a full-time job and 18 hours of school a semister. So no, I'm not like every other 'cool' college guy and living the 'crazy' life. I've been on my own since I was 17 and instead of settling into a shithole life of bagging groceries I've worked my ass off to have a life for myself. So to hell with your brazen and altogther irresponsible assumptions about me the 'omg like crazy college kid'.

And this 'you don't have the life experiences'/better than though bullshit is just as irresponsible. I know two 8 year olds I used to play with at the chess club who could whip my ass day in and day out. My age and experience had no bearing on whether or not I could win.

This good ole' boy we been around longer logic is failing left and right. If you need proof of this just look to poker and how it is being dominated by the younger generation. My generation in capping I believe will be the first one to come close to cracking the bank, with the sheer amount of information shared on the internet, I can know more about a team in one day than you could know about them in a lifetime.

If you want to come at me with a valid, logical arguement then so be it, but this straw man bullshit is irresponsable and down right rude. 

Don't make the assumption that since I'm a college kid I must be crazy and will blow all my money and I won't make the assumption that your old ass should move on to bingo.

Sul - Dont take these things that I wrote personally (unless they are true).  Experience matters in lots of things, and sports gambling is no exception.  And, dont compare the methodology of winning at chess & poker to sports gambling - its not the same.   It's not even close.  It's good to have great confidence in your own skills, but sports gambling is betting on the skills (and predictable results) of others. 

I am proud of you for all the success that you are having - paying your own way, etc. - that is the way that all of us old guys did it too.  But, that is what life is all about.  You are SUPPOSED to do that. 

Please dont think that your "generation" will be the first to come close to cracking the bank.  You have no idea!  Enjoy your 62% run in college hoops.  You are hot.  I actually follow some of your picks too.  (I just wish that I would follow the 3 that win each night, not the 2 losers.)  But, back to my original premise, I dont think that I (or most people here) can win money on a consistent basis betting lots of games every night.  

One last thing, I hope you can save this post somewhere - and then re-read it in about 15 years - then you'll probably have a better appreciation for the actual merits of the information.  You see, most of us old guys were you at one time.  We lived the dream too.  We were smarter than the bookies too.  We were smarter than our friends too.  We went to bars drinking, and became more interested in the game on the TV in the corner than our friends too.  You see, we have done all the things you are doing too.  And, we collected from the man too.  

Enjoy the run - it wont last for multiple seasons, I dont care how much info you get.  If this was all about math & statistics, it would be easy!

You need to find a new hobby if thats the case for you. Im not saying by any means that i win money EVERY day, but I do make profits consistantly. And yes I usually play multiple games on a day with a normal sized card.

Eddy - thanks for posting, but without any "posted" games or record, it is difficult to give credibility to your comments.

You are mis-quoting me - I said, "If this was all about math & statistics, it would be easy!"  The point being, is that there are other factors besides math & stats.  Situational spots, back to back road games, hostile environments, rivalry games, heart-breaking losses, look-ahead games, etc.
