The Sports-Industrial Complex has no reason whatsoever to make you smarter about sports. There are no best interests to provide you good gambling advice (in fact, the opposite is more profitable). The S.I.C. is not in the teaching business, because it hates competition. It must perpetuate itself, and protect against dilution of power and dissipation of resources. It must maintain its relative exclusivity and separate standing; it has no room for you and your blog.

It has every motivation to make you stupid, and keep you stupid.
