I am to confident in my abilities, honest, and too successful to scam people. Truly successful gamblers have multiple investors seeking them out wanting to team up with their action. I am too intellectually arrogant to ask for a stake and smart enough to build my bankroll when necessary. When Nascar comes around people come to me, and thankfully I am already aligned with a good crew for many years.
Scamming people is unethical and illegal. I have been scammed no less than 4 times in the past year for thousands of dollars and every time I am victimized I pat myself on the back for accepting it graciously and never contributing to the world of scamming.
Scamming and gambling are unfortunately intertwined. Wherever money is being moved a scum bag is closely watching looking for an opportunity.
I have witnessed many marginally educated shady gamblers in Rosarito who are definitely looking for a free roll. Even some of the established players bounce around with stakers which should raise a big red flag. I have never accepted a stake nor ever will(the Barry G in me).
One guy in Rosarito even suggested I follow his sports picks, which made me laugh my ass off. That is the equivalent of Linus off of Peanuts teaching the world's best Horowitz or Thelonious Monk the piano, ain't happening.
I actually get a kick out of meeting people here who simultaneously want my money and give me gambling advice. Reminds me of listening to Tood Bruson "humblebragging" constantly years ago at the stud h/l table about the same thing.
