That's it. Don't believe the hype of squares and sharp players. Those who call themselves sharp are NOT sharp. There's no such a thing as a sharp or square bettor, only winners and losers after the fact.
Being results oriented is square. IMO, there is a right side and a wrong side, not a winning and a losing side. the right side and winning/the wrong side and losing don't always go hand in hand.

If you bet a +500 ML dog and they lose in heartbreaking fashion on some fluke BS.....that was a square bet?

If you bet a -500 ML fav and they barely squeak out a win....that was a sharp bet?
