I'll be straight honest with you all. I bet peanuts. We're talking like $10 a unit, if that. I've gotten lucky and turned $40 into some moderate success, and by moderate I mean it helps me pay off student loans.
Yet I feel like my story is looked down upon. Unless you're betting stacks and consistently winning, you're a joke. That's insane.
This should be a forum for discussion, and some of the people on here give good insight into helping me make MY picks. If I put the money down, those picks become mine to live with. It's no one's fault but my own if something fizzles and a bad beat occurs.
Yet there is more blame and peacocking on this forum than needs to be. We would all profit if we took this as a place for discussion, not showboating.
