    How Can You Have A Sports Conversation With Someone Who Doesn't Gamble? Impossible.

    Have you ever had a sports conversation with a guy at work... or someone who knows EVERYTHING ABOUT SPORTS but never laid a dollar in his life on a game? I hate those people. I always want to punch them out. I'm like buddy if you know so much and you're so right... then put your money where your mouth is. All my bros who talk sports and have action I respect... we know all the sh#$ that goes down in these games.

    I know there are some funny stories out there... I'd like to hear some. It's Friday night... not going out fellas. Let me hear some funny ones.

    I talk to some of my friends that know sports, but not a lot. It's the best access to "The Public" you can get. Like a good degen, I got them hooked now so they are starting to gamble more. It's funny when you go on a rant about travel or ATS or some advanced stat and they look at you like you just spoke Mandarin.

    I spend more time talking to non-gamblers than gamblers.

    Far less paranoia involved.

    I don't have a problem talking to some non-gamblers

    There are sports fan who don't gamble and are highly intelligent about sports and those that are not.

    There are gamblers that are highly intelligent about sports and those that are not.

    A guy who consistently posts negative unit plays is about as useful as a non-intelligent casual sports fan.

    Some sports fans love sports, but feel betting on sports isn't pure to the game or whatever.

    Also, you never know if that casual sports fan, actually bets on games and doesn't talk about it.

    Having a sports conversation with a guy like Bradley Snyder or Brock Landers is about as useful as having a sports conversation with a woman. No relevant insight from either group.

    I like Brock, but he doesn't usually win.
