What is the difference between a handicapper and a guesser?

Handicappers quantify their picks. Guessers post long-winded writeups peppered with the following phrases - "I think," "I see" and "I believe." On this board I see a lot of guessing and very little actual handicapping. I'll be back in January for the playoffs. Good luck everyone.

@oldwiseone

 Buttered or plain?

This isn¡¯t an airport, you don¡¯t need to announce your departure.

@Ih8coldweather

didn't take long 

One takes it more seriously 

@C-70Blues

 Come back when you're all grown up buddy. 

Tell mom to make some pancakes for breakfast. 

Not much. No one can be the interest on losing bets in the long run. These bookie shops pump pure gold. 

@tech65

 Exactly,whatever title you want,the books still win.

@C-70Blues

 are you trying to walk away as a "winner" 

@C-70Blues

 What is the difference between an idiot and C-70Blues¡­nothing 

@C-70Blues

 The difference is wheelchair access

Everyone¡¯s guessing because nobody knows what¡¯s going to happen!

if we did we wouldn¡¯t be on here wasting our time replying to a pointless post from you !!

Mostly Guessers on this site.

You forgot the poster that makes daily posts who knows nothing and bets no money he's the worst.

Precisely. 

True Handicappers quietly go about their business and do not give the keys to the mint when they spot an edge.  Not that it matters here, cause you could give them 65 % winners and no one would notice but if you said a play was rigged you'd get 240 responses.

Another part of handicapping is accepting your losses. If I read one more post about how the 49ers should have beat the Chiefs if it weren't for this, that and the other...People that say that do not factor special teams into their "guessing."

What are your quantified week 1 picks bud? 

Idk, I capped that game as a coin toss meaning either side "could" or "should" have won that game and it came down to what your best price was.  

Good handicapping focuses on placing sound bets absent outcome.  Not to be confused with objective assessment afterwards to confirm or challenge your original position.
