I’ve gone back and checked some posts and have concluded that no one likes a boastful, immature bombastic hype man. Those types usually suffer from narcissistic personality disorder. They often make me wonder if they are even betting on the games at all (perhaps in the $2-$10 range, not that there’s anything wrong with that) as their purpose seems more to gain adoration than money. You can recognize them if you see any or all of the following:
They use hyperbole to push their bets to the point of obnoxiousness
They sound like silly little boys posting from their mom’s basement
They spit out words and excuses like an adolescent teen after they’ve been caught …………
They sound like a giddy little girl who just got a new doll
They make excuses when they lose like “right side” “fix” “cheated” “bad beat” “house money” etc
They claim people are jealous of them
They pooh pooh a good record as not being good enough because of course they can go 33-0
They use onomatopoeia like “boom”, “pow”, “wow wow wow”, etc
They use metaphor extensively like “let it rain”, “slap em hard”, “slap em in the face” or “gonna close the circus”, “Let’s kill”, “Go go go go go go”
They refer to themselves in the third person
They lie to make themselves seem to be something they are not
You get the idea!
Many of us more experienced bettors have seen hundreds of these types come and go but they do indeed keep coming. Their followers remind me of little puppies sitting on their haunches with their little paws in the air, mouths open, tongues hanging out, drooling and begging > Gimme a winner brother, gimme a winner, jesus loves you brother, I love you brother, we love you brother, gimme a winner brother, gimme a winner brother, gimme a winner brother, yes gimme a winner lover, AHHHHH there it is. Thank you brother. This giver, this benevolent type, acknowledges his army (lol), beams, sucks in that adoration that his narcissism demands, vaguely even caring that it’s sport betting that is the focus here.
Perhaps a poem would be nice here:
I’m a narcissist, I need my fix
Hey I know, I’ll post my picks
I don’t bet but they’ll never know
I’m only here to put on a show
I’m the one they all adore
No need to thank me,
I’M the one I’M posting for
I don’t visit here often and I don’t post often but I sometimes like to come in and see a post where the poster says “I like the under on the bah bah bah game”. What do you guys think? And people respond with legit comments, stats, insights, and debate. I don’t come in for the ridiculous boastful bombastic buffoon, hawking picks like “only I can give you winners brother”. BTW > short term success doesn’t mean shit in this game! Learn to cap for yourself and you won’t need to follow vain insecure dysfunctional narcissistic fools who care more about clicks than winning money!
my 2 cents
