I would say around 5-10% have play a dime at some point. I would say less than 1% have thrown down 10 dimes.
I have placed 4 $400 wagers in my life and that is the most I have ever bet. I personally can't fathom laying a week's bring home ($940 - after taxes, 401k and child support) down on a single bet.

Sorry guys. I guess I didn't think this all the way through.
I said "Not to name names", but all of sudden people are giving out their life history. Way too personal. No SSNs please!
And Maggs... I think you are way to high on the 5-10%.
I don't really care so much what guys are playing.... I just have a serious problem with shitheels who want us all to think they are Billy Walters.... when they are really betting $5 parlay cards at the barber shop!

I can't keep understand you Nickie! As you said, I asked "if if some people have actually placed a dime sized bet".
I did not ask about the total amount of your action today, this week, this month, or lifetime. Keep up Buddy!
I really did not mean one isolated bet back in December 2001 either, but I did not make that really clear.
Agree Chop. That is why I made it so clear (first words in the thread) that no names would be involved.
Also I stated "I just have a serious problem with shitheels who want us all to think they are Billy Walters.... when they are really betting $5 parlay cards at the barber shop!"
Seems to me to be a matter of credibility.

Just trying to set up a serious question. Guess I should have known people would have their feelings hurt to contemplate the true answer.
And Bourny..... Look who lives in the White House. Doubt if he could lead a group in silent prayer on a sports bet. (or most topics)
Congratulations on your success, Sir!

You asked.......
Can't stop children from posting picks. I was just trying to help us all to be more focused on the fact that most of what we read on here has no merit as far as players who have real experience.
Funny thing is..... you can't put any value on many of the posts...... but they are a little entertaining to read.
My original question turned out exactly like I knew it would......
Only precious few were even willing to approach the question truthfully.
Most want to get off the subject in another direction...... they are such inexperienced gamblers that they don't even understand the question.

I'm pretty sure everyone understands the question. How many people on here actually have placed a dime sized wager in their lifetime? That's a pretty clear question. Idk would be my answer. Never thought about it.
Your second question was how many people have placed a 10 dime wager? Idk again. I sure as hell haven't. That's way out of my league. Have you ever placed that size wager Packey?
If you're referring to RUSS idk what he bets. I really don't care. In his defense I know I have seen him post the same style he does now ever since I can remember and he hits his large plays A LOT. There have been many times in hockey I would love a play and play it only to find him post the opposite side and hit. I also can say I have actually changed a couple hockey bets (bought my bet back) because he posted on the opposite side and glad I did. I think he's better than what you give him credit for. You just don't like his style which is fine, but his picks IMO are usually solid.
