See now mob, you're making some sense to me now. Capital Punishment was no doubt one of the best albums ever. But seriously, most people would go tout if they gained a great following and popularity. I've been posting winners elsewhere (won't post them here anymore since being banned), and if I made my posting style more colorful, I could gain a following as well. But the fact of the matter is, he hasn't gone tout, and has no plans to. That's his prerogative.
As far as the favorites and overs plays you bring up, I'll agree, fish eat that up. I like having fish out there. They paid for my boat at the poker table. But when you're selective enough to know what favs to play, and the record proves you are positive units, I see no legitimate argument against it.
Speaking of favorites, I played the Giants -145 today. Square play? I don't care. Bum vs Reed was too easy and it won big.
