It really gets to how I feel in general about people who give handicapping opinions, in that they HAVE to bet some amount that is real to them, as nobody will ever learn anything about playing this game without some very real gambling. Picking losers on paper may hurt your ego, but betting them will hurt your wallet, and is the only possible way someone will learn to correct errors and further their " opinion ".
In order to win you have to learn how not to lose.
