I think an inherent quality of MANY gamblers is an extreme arrogance, thick-headedness, and a huge ego. I find this in ALL sports forums I visit. The self-centered mentality manifests itself in many negative ways, and many people here really think they are the best gamblers, the best "detectives", the smartest decision makers, etc. Why else do so many gamblers go into thousands of dollars of gambling debt? It's because they really have a hard time seeing various viewpoints, and feel their thinking is THE correct thinking.
No, I am not saying that everyone is like this, or that I am perfect, or even that most people here are in debt like this. I am just saying the way some of these morons act, their is something radically wrong. This is just my opinion, dont over-react to it.
