      Sharps play square plays too. This is their way of camouflaging their sharpness to the books. Like the professional poker players who play a bad hand every ten to confuse the novices.

            Everyone thinks sharps are these mysterious guys in hats who there and predict dogs winning, as if they control the game and sit there saying 'just wait, Royals will beat the Yankees, just you wait', and then they sit back relaxed with their drink, while KC overcomes a 5-0 deficit to beat the yankees.

              Sharps are not mythical figures. They have an edge and they apply it over many samples. Sharps bet off numbers, bet middles and scalp. The sharps that are handicapping are going so with DB's and Models in place. Sharps are not hero's to the board here and what they do to earn there money is not sexy or exciting. There are only about 7-10 people here that I consider sharp.

                The biggest misconception about sharps is that they all know much about sports, it's not a requirement

                  the only thing I know about sharps is I'm not one! (but I'm working to be less square!)

                    I know a decent amount about American sports from watching a shit load of it I see lines that look good and I bet on them every other time I make a deposit I double or triple it sometimes I'm smart enough to cash it out and sometimes I house it cause I'm a gambler. I don't think 99% of posters can make a living off of sports or really even think they can so have fun and stop taking yourselves so serious

                      No such thing as a sharp

                      No one can predict outcome of games

                        they play square plays cause some square plays are solid winners. like the colts last night, they turn the ball over left and right and still win the game. they were 13 pts better than washington turnovers aside
