    Default What Is Your Betting Category?

    Square
    Sharp
    Whale

    I will go first, I use to be a square way way back, turned into a very sharp bettor, went bad now a whale and only show spurts of my professional past.

    When you talk about the business you seem sharp, but when you go on about your life, driving a '74 van and living in some guy's basement, you're describing someone as square as a Borg's cube.

    As to myself, I don't really think along sharp and square lines. Too black and white. I make stupid decisions and I make smart decisions, and that won't change; all I'm working on is the proportion. I haven't had a single losing year, but I could have been a lot more profitable. -- [Correction. First year was red ink, but I didn't know a thing. lol.]

    Unfortunately square as they come here, especially football.

    I am basically a break-even bettor. Still playing with the money I started with so long ago. Sometimes I lose and go down a bit but I always make it up again.
    I am trying to make the transition from square to sharp and it will take a while to gain the necessary experience and knowledge but I'll get there.

    I'm strictly nfl and I've never lost a week so I'll go with sharp.

    Its not easy to judge yourself, but with doing lots of line shopping and betting $500-$2k per bet id say sharp.

    Whale= A player that bets large amounts of money but usually is not sharp and bets lots of tv games, it is almost a glorified square.

    I'd say I'm an advanced square striving to achieve sharpness.

    A perfect arb player could say that I guess assuming he never had a line move against.

    Which often happens. Therefore iset must be G-d. (Jews write it without "o" so I respect it)
