I believe part of your frustration is that BT is a bit more serious compared to other forums when it comes to actual betting discussion. While we certainly have recreational bettors (although they post more frequently during football/hoop), we also have a bunch of serious posters, some of whom are pro bettors. So when a new poster pops up posting repeatedly about a topic that is seen by those serious bettors as something that is clearly not profitable based on experiences, math, and knowledge, they tend to be a bit hard on him (not saying it's right, just trying to give you an explanation here.)
If you're truly interested in learning and becoming successful, I'd suggest you post your plays, keep a record, and to post a lot less, especially in other people's threads. Jumping into people's threads to add random stats every time they post a play isn't very helpful and just clutters their thread. Instead, if you want to comment on others' picks (which is welcome), just try to keep it short.
In the end, my guess is that BT is not the right forum for you but you're welcome to stay unless you do something that warrants being banned. Everyone doesn't have to like you or agree with your ideas but when you start to annoy the forum as a whole it becomes disruptive.
Lastly, try to relax and not get so defensive when posters tell you why you're wrong or take minor shots at you. Post less commentary for now, start posting your play, and go from there.
Just trying to help. Feel free to take or ignore my advice. GL.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I think he's a Rip007 ghost.

Up to this point...... 3 people (off the top of my head), namely durito, GoBucks and Dr.H, have told you what's the problem with your angle. Seems you don't understand what (specifically) durito explained.
Any time you have an investment yielding 6% you should be happy. Now please just post your plays.
what do I learn from posting my plays or how does that help any member?
Posting your plays can either validate or repudiate your approach to Sports Gambling, or it may do neither
Helping others, gaining respect, keeping yourself honest...
Of course you can do everything in private... but then you shouldn't be discussing it on a public forum.
To you... you could receive valuable feedback and you've already said you want to learn.
To the community... if you prove yourself to be a winner, others may choose to follow your plays, which would help them win.
That depends on whether there is an actual REASON for the 5.9% or that just happened to be how variance has smiled for 1000 games.
Please move on.
If you truly mean well and believe you are contributing/seeking knowledge, I wish you the best, but your posts continue to be disruptive.
Yes, you are catching a lot of flack... but the flack is coming from longtime respected posters who know what they're talking about and your go-to response is to ignore them or repeatedly ask to be proven wrong.
Once again, please consider just posting plays for a bit and dropping the excessive posts.
It's not a single post but your overall body of work. In general, stop repeating yourself and let the back-and-forth debates about SDQL go. It should be clear by now that the large majority of posters feel there is no merit to what you're doing so constantly defending it and asking for proof is getting repetitive.
I see you started a pick thread. Glad to see that. I suggest keeping most of your thoughts in that thread. GL.
