One thing that is a more recent greenbacks development that actually did surprise me is that people actually think he was a good handicapper. People just have no idea how statistical variance works, he had no track record of success capping then probably went 60-40 over a couple of months and all of a sudden a few posters think they're in the online presence of rain man?
If you think someone that mentally deficient can beat something as efficient as betting sides on major sporting events then you completely underrated how difficult it is to do.
One thing I will give him credit for though is he made a lot of contrarian plays, and when you do that and win, it gives people the idea that you know something they don't. If anyone is ever trying to go tout, that is the way to do it. You go 60-40 with that strategy and people think they found the holy grail.
You get it, no surprise there...
