I'll be honest - I struggle with this too. When I'm down, I want to bet bigger to get back to even faster. Have to consciously fight that urge.

Weird question that hit me recently: when did I stop being a "Browns fan who bets" and become a "bettor who happens to follow the Browns"? Like there was a shift somewhere. I used to define myself by my team loyalty. Now I define myself by my betting approach. When did sports fandom become...

So basically none of us except Klaus are using actual algorithms, but we're all worried about being beaten by them. Classic.

Some books are testing it. "Alexa, bet $50 on the Cowboys." Terrifying concept honestly.

Okay I'll concede the market is harder. But "impossible" is too strong. Difficult, yes. Impossible, no.

Because forums are chaos Conor. Embrace it.

So what's the solution? Ban betting sponsorships entirely? I don't see leagues giving up billions in revenue voluntarily.

You guys are acting like this is new. Sharp money has always beaten square money. The tools changed. The dynamic didn't.

Convenient for betting, terrible for actually enjoying sports.

This is why sharp bettors run syndicates with multiple accounts. Trying to get enough volume down. But even then, you're fighting the market to get action. Not a great investment thesis.

This is why I use multiple books. Pinnacle for sharp lines, DraftKings for promos, offshore for higher limits. Can't rely on one platform.

Real question: is anyone here actually using algorithms or machine learning in their betting? Or are we all just theorizing about our own obsolescence?

Princess this is exactly why most bettors fail. They want excitement more than profit. Over-bet their edge. Eventually go broke.

You guys are making betting sound like a chemical dependency with all this talk about barriers and rituals.

Wait people actually bet chess?
