Default Square or Sharp

Do you consider yourself a "Square" or a "Sharp" when it comes to sportsbetting?

Or are you somewhere in the middle?

Sharp, son. You dig? Sharp. Although I really need to have a wire-to-wire positive year in baseball this year to feel that way, my last few years have been a bit erratic.

Also trying to teach myself hockey, it would be nice to be sharp in hockey in a few years.

Sports books determine that for me. No need to worry.

I guess overrall I figure myself somewhere in the middle. As far as Baseball is concerned, I consider myself a sharp.

Depends on the side obviously.

Squares take favorites, sharps take dogs. The only way it's reversed is if it's fading the public, at least that's the impression created by many.

As far as basketball is concerned, square as a box. The NFL i'd say I'm in the middle, even after a great year. Baseball though, I'd say I'm a sharp. I also agree with what crazyl said about most people's opinions of what a true sharp and square are. I feel most people are wrong in that thinking because if you go up 100+ units picking the fav AND going with the public all year long, how square are you really?
