More than a fair shake? I'm not the one that brought this to the forefront, everyone else did. Clearly you're critical for multiple reasons, which are, but aren't limited to: a) my relatively short and unimpressive track record of success by your standards b) the perception that there's even a market for my services c) that i've gone 'tout'
I don't know what bailing out means. No one has a responsibility to post daily threads. Hell, I've posted more on here after stopping the daily threads than I'd like, for the reasons of addressing threads created about what's happened.
Regarding the first post - I sort of skimmed through it. If I'm bucking trends, I'm fine with that, if what I'm doing is a long term recipe for disaster, I'll see how I can avoid it. As far the units go, 1 may be a benchmark, but not many people that post picks flat bet. My initial post was in relation to the guys that bet a standard of 5 units and go up to 20-30, etc. (some of the same guys you all love at this site). Risking 50 units in one day wasn't the result of inflating bets. It was the result of valuing certain plays at those levels, and not ignoring potential plays as a result of being wary about how much overall I was risking. The thought crossed my mind. I quickly dismissed it because I am confident in my plays. If you think I'm lucky, that's fine. Maybe I am. At the very least, I am able to go back through every single one of my plays and determine exactly how the bet was won or lost. And that's what I'm trying to do. Learn from prior games, adjust my analysis accordingly. Win or lose.
I know you don't want me to be successful. That's fine. You can try to paint a different picture but it's all good to me. At the end of the day, if there's no market, if there's no business, if I flop, hey at least it's my own money that I've earned and won or lost. I'm not posting picks for the sake of doing that. Every single play I've ever posted and will ever post in whatever form has been a play that I've had my own money on. I'm not scamming. I'm not BSing anyone. If I'm not playing anything, I'm not playing anything.
Don't know if the answer suffices.
