you believe because you know him...but what about us?

In Response To: Strange thought processes (Don Schlesinger)

You believe him becuase you think he's trustworthy and honest. Sure, I know plenty of friends and colleagues, etc., who I would trust too if they told me something. Buts its more difficult to believe someone you don't know, even if it is someone like you telling us. I think most of us aren't necessarily disbelieving, but not believing enough to put our cash on it. Some are, some aren't. I think that makes sense.

Sure, you make lots of money, and have lots of other risks. Good for you. That is a good reason not to bother putting bets, one that is completely valid. But I wonder why you are still interested in sports betting at all. Most people who bet on sports like it for one of three reasons : for the money, for the fun, or for the competition. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems you don't do it for any of the three, so, just as a curiosity, why do you bother? (not attacking, curious more than anything). All the rich that I know would just bet bigger ($5K - $10K a pop), or bet the same small amount ($200-$500) for the fun and competition...so why are you here? (I appreciate you being here, because you add to my knowledge, but again, just curiousiy here, don't take my posts as being inflammatory, if they were, I apologize.) And yes, if you tell me you have lots of risk doing what you do, I would believe you.

By the way, do you work with Jaw's author's son?
