For many sports betting is an actual job. I survived for the last 3 years on it alone while going through school. This has been the first mediocre year since I began, and have since realized its not my primary income.
regardless, I know its a hobby, and you don't have as much time, but many people on here blindly tail, and others treat it like income and with complete seriousness.
I'm not ordering, but I would like to let you know many take it very seriously and not all people are just doing it to buy time and for expense money, and I don't think they should be looked down upon for doing it successfully

Point me in the direction where I either directly or implicitly refer to the sports betting habits of anyone other than myself? I'm not "downplaying" the activities of other people. Rather, I am articulating my own approach and rationale.
Those who treat this as a primary source of income fall into two classifications: (a) qualified and (b) unqualified. The former is easily and readily differentiated from the latter. Those who treat this as a job or profession are not relying on my picks to sustain themselves and/or their families. Anyone who does is - quite frankly - an idiot. Sports betting is a volatile industry, and to stake your own well-being on the outcome of sporting events is a choice fraught with substantial risk.
Your third point is true, and I take no issue with it. I do, however, reiterate something I have mentioned ad nauseum this year. If you "blindly tail" my picks, you do so under the realization that I am not investing significant amount of time in research and capping. I have been more than forthcoming and honest in advocating the exercise of discretion.
