Would You Enjoy Gambling If You Just Tailed Someone??
Spot Tailing is different we all do that
I mean if I just take every pick of someone??
A real gambler would not

If that person is profitable, yes. I have no ego when it comes related to making money. We entrust our retirement portfolios to experts. If someone proves to me that they can be consistent, I'm riding that train.

No.
I did once upon a time.
Now if I lost I want no one to blame but myself.

if they won. Hell yeah i would be content in just tailing.
Handicapping games is very time consuming and can be nerve racking.
Like the other poster said ... i don't have an ego when comes to this shit. I just want to make money.
I even tail some of the posters on this site who are always assholes to me.
The thing about this business and in life in general is you can't take anything personally. You gotta be able to see things objectively and i can still dislike a poster and have respect for their handicapping ability at the same time.
Same goes for sports teams and players. I can't stand Aaron Rodgers... but will that make me bet against him? fukk no. I figure if i gotta watch that fukk face win i might as well make money doing so.

It feels 10x worse when you lose too
When you win you are happy but its a lesser feeling that you did not do the work and your a loser handicapper

I tailed until I realized I was as good as anyone I was tailing and that sometimes I knew they were making bad bets and still tailed anyways and would lose.

Been gambling for 40 years ... there are very few people I would consider tailing ... unless, of course you consider relentlessly fading some people as tailing. After all, I am making my pick based on what they pick.
I am not one of those guys who goes around telling everyone that I am fading a certain poster, but I do it quite often.

I have fun tailing people now and again but generally it feels better losing money myself. KLC sharp post though as usual.
