This came to me because LarryK mentioned a word (Sharp) that triggered some thoughts.
I mean this in all lighthearted humor....
When I was growing up,my Grandmother says to me "Think your a Wiseguy eh"? I said "Yes Grandma".
Then Grandma tells my Mom something & Mom says "think your Sharp eh"? I said "Yes Mom". (with a innocent childlike smile,ofc).
Then Mom whispers something to my Dad & he asks me "Think your a Smartass eh"? I said "Yes Dad." (again same childish smile)...they all start giggling etc..
So IF my elders think i'm a Wiseguy,Sharp & Smartass,then I must be Right?
To myself a Wiseguy & a Sharp are after the same things as myself (to Win/Profit etc.) using whatever math or what have you.It is also my understanding Wiseguys will bet as soon as a line comes out (same as myself...by the time anyone sees my picks I bet 'em already) & IF info comes out and I have to flip my pick so be it I will hedge,just like Wiseguys might...sometimes Wiseguys Win...sometimes Wiseguys Lose...so do I.
Just yesterday I read something over at Covers about Mr. Billy Walters interview I had not read prior & something caught my minds eye
>“The game of handicapping sports is really the same game as it was 40 or 50 years ago,” he explained. “It’s much more competitive now, and the numbers are much better than they were in the 80s, but it’s still the same game. It still comes down to evaluating information.”
