    List things you used to do when you were a square bettor

    1. i tailed all of vegas dave's college football "philosophy picks".
    i tailed him for $30/game when i first started gambling. the guy would come up with these elaborate write-ups for each game. i was so impressed by his knowledge of statistics and rankings i thought he was a sharp. well he hit about 30% and buried me.

    2. i bought 3 months worth of accuscore picks.
    shit service. i also hit about 35% winners on nba/nfl spreads. so i was losing money betting their plays and i was paying like $50/month for the service. so i was paying money to lose more money.

    3. say i liked a team, tigers ml +145 for example. i would bet them at that price, and then 10 min before gametime the line would move to +155. now my thought process at the time was, "wow, the books are giving me 10 extra cents on the moneyline for free."
    then i would put another unit on them. those plays lost like 90% of the time, but again i thought i was just unlucky.

    parlay money lines greater than -260 thinking the odds were obviously in my favor because it would take an underdog to win and i should be able to pick a few of those together consistently (ironically I still struggle with this one sometimes)

    I wish I could go back to being a square bettor. I actually made money when I was a square

    Lurked in the Service Play boards to tail games, not fade them. Wondered how "pros" could be so awful?

    Stayed away from games that looked "fishy".

    Broke down weekend games and wondered how odds could be so bad? I could cap better than them!

    Believed the world was a just and fair place. Oooooh... this one is low.

    Would post all my plays and give advise to thankless free loaders who would sh*t all over my threads the second I was on a losing streak or I was wrong.

    Bet way over my head in MLB just based off of (what I thought was) limited knowledge. Made a ton. Wasn't a square even when I was a square.

    Squares made nice coin this past NFL season.

    Squares that make threads about being sharp are squarer than square.
