This is what it was:

If a sports bettor doesn't know what value is he's either a losing sports bettor or a lucky sports bettor.

Other than as a cautionary tale and as a means of identifying exploitable structural inefficiencies within the market, the mode of thought you've outlined is of no relevance within the Think Tank.

This is not supposed to be a forum for the discussion of recreational betting (that's what Player's Talk is for), but rather a moderated forum for advantage bettors to seriously discuss advantage betting and topics related thereto, as well as for recreational bettor to learn how to develop an advantage.

If a bettor wanted to ignore value and only wager on his favorite sports team regardless of price, or based solely on gut feeling, or because he imagined "guaranteed" profit without thought to the underlying value, that would certainly be his right and I'd wish him nothing but the best of luck.

It's just that it wouldn't be worthy of any serious discussion within this forum.

Does SBR have a new idea now?

No one shares anything valuable on this forum anyways. Might as well bring some discussion to it.

you are right on the dot about that. people are greedy. first of all, why would people making a living be sharing secrets to you. they dont know you personally and they have nothing to gain from doing that.

people be talking about value this and that.. but can you give me some picks instead of educating us about concepts.. if your picks fails, regardless how smart you are, then you are a failure. i am a pragmatic person.

Most everything I know about betting I picked up here.

Durito, think about it in a positive light. With fewer +EV players in the market, it means more money for the +EV players. In the long run, the recent development in the Think Tank is likely good for us.

This forum has been going downhill steadily. It is a shame, just hope they keep all the archives up.

Around 90% I learned from working both sides of the counter in Las Vegas for 18+ years.

No, its now Players talk south and it is a shame, but if people like to act like children you can't really stop them.

One thing I learned in forum is that people who are very knowledgeable in concepts and write essay-long write-ups MAY NOT be good gamblers. I have witnessed this guy at another forum who has alot of great ideas and knowledge to share, but as he start posting picks, he start losing.

To be legit, a controlled experiment has to be conducted. he has to bring in results.

And that's what it will be used for. It is not for hurling insults at each other. It is not to be used for just listing your picks for the day. Those that don't get it will be restricted from using it.
