this pathetic soul spends his entire day every day looking for bad news to post at theRx
The epitome of a loser
The problem with the fading/following of posters strategy is the amount of time a person has to spend in front of a computer to do it. d1g1t
Fading/following a high volume poster means sitting in front of the computer 10+ hours a day on weekends hitting refresh, and another 4 hours a day during the week. It becomes a full time job.
And if you follow a poster who bets baseball, it's an every day all day thing.
Not many people want to do that.
Bet what is not popular as the lines are not as sharp.
A good example is I-AA football or women's college hoops. I've made six figures many years betting it. People used to make fun of me but I don't care where my money comes from, as long as I get paid.
Just one.
