Try to befriend sharp gamblers

[jjgold]

For that matter anyone sharp at anything you’ll be more successful

[danshan11]

people try, the problem is they go to the one screaming the loudest the SAME message that they already know and how does that help?
I want to expand myself let me see
step 1 talk to the same people I have for 5 years and still have not won in 5 years
step 2 if I do find someone new make sure they think the same way I already do
step 3 dont offer anything to anyone else, it has to be a 2 way street
step 4 be afraid to be wrong, say dumb shit, dont ask stupid questions, care who cares, dont learn , dont be wrong its not ok

follow those 4 steps and you will see huge changes, because remember that one self help book you read to follow the recipe you dont even remember, get a grab on reality. Like the dude Gaze he says some of the most off the wall shit but at least he shares his opinion and is not scared to put it out there. He does not follow anyone, he thinks for himself, he just needs to be a little more open minded but shit at least he is asking not just criticizing.

It’s not only how I became what I’d consider one of the better mlb cappers around but also how I make most my early season
Ncaa fb plays is knowing and talking with really sharp guys that invest a ton of time into knowing everything about these teams.. I read their stuff, ask questions, then cherry pick plays that I think the best cases have been made for!!

Part of being smart is wanting to know and learn from those smarter than yourself. That the problem w most the dumbfuck kids around here, they rather listen to themselves make smart ass wisecracks and tell themselves how smart they are instead of being humble enough to understand there always a lot to learn!!

No, because when you do, they want you to hang with them so they can vent about their problems and take them to dinner without wanting to date you but get pissed off the moment you start trying to talk to one of their girl friends.

If you are building a team, or leading a group, or trying to surround yourself with experts to draw from, just make sure you are not the smartest person in the room.

If you are, you are doomed to failure.

We can all learn, we all have a lot to learn.

Banker, I appreciate your self awareness to know what you are good at and to specialize. The harder you work, the luckier you will get.

I initially thought this forum was a place for much of that. Especially when Paco's thread was king here. There was a constant transfer of information and plays with lots of winning posters bringing their best stuff. It was a team atmosphere. Now the guys that claim they are consistent winners never post plays. It would seem as if everyone here would want to win and we're all playing the same games against the same guys. Information sharing should always be key when everyone has the same goal of winning. Whether i agree or not, i love seeing a guys reasoning as to why this or that is a good play in his eyes. Like when the dude jumped off Purdue when the line moved against him and most made money on NW. Or the Arizona line opening at -15 and being -10 at game time. Smart guys on ND yesterday. Lots of smart guys here to offer good info.

I hear ya brother. There are still some really smart guys that share their knowledge, unfortunately you have to wade through a ton of garbage to find them. Then lot of us good players get turned off by the trash who pollute threads and post less frequently. I’ll always post here cause of how many good guys I consider friends I’ve met during my decade here but I also post at another forum w far less traffic but none of the bs that has lot of guys doing exactly what you speaking of.
