Most of my life I have been a bad person. Beating people up, threatening my HS teachers, fighting with the adults in my neighborhood. Playing cards and gambling before I joined the Navy. But I always felt empathy for losing gamblers. Because most of us had been there. I was a young kid, 17, in the Navy. There was this black kid, good guy, comes back from the card game and says I lost my entire paycheck. I knew those sharks, and I knew they just ate that poor kid alive. So I went down to the game, won all of his money back, a little profit, and gave him back his paycheck. Why? Because these sharks were feeding on the innocents. We all shipped out and I never saw any of them again, so I sure was not currying favors. Did the same thing at Great Lakes playing pool with the civies. So I am Champion of Fools. Gambling Fools to be precise. It does not pay well, and I get a huge ration of shit at times. I don't do it to earn respect because I fuck up and get into battles taunting people.
I am no saint, no savior. Just a guy who has been doing this for 30+ years. That is why people call me. I will grade out every faucet of a gambler's game. From real lines, to write ups, handicapping and betting prowess. When someone asks, so and so did this, was it the right move, I have to determine whether it was, or not. It actually pains me to see these posters get burned. Believe it or not. But there are other great posters here also, that do the same thing, I am just more vocal and relentless. You see a lot of posters say be careful, or it might turn so watch your step. They get drowned out by the internet toughs and lose interest. But they still try. Ultimately, each man is responsible for his own actions. You cannot hide from that fact. But if that man is being deceived, I can at least point it out. If you want an answer why I act the way I do I hope that is satisfactory. I may be a huge Dickosaurus, but my heart is in the right place.
