Same goes for several of the amateurs calling themselves "experts" that the industry has embraced on Twitter handing out ridiculous Pick 4 and Pick 5 plays five or six times a day. These newbies are chewed up and spit out, they never learn the proper way to wager. This is what ITP is basically so vocal about. But yeah, let's shoot the messenger because he is so "mean" and does not sugar coat things.

I'm not naive. I believe in presenting facts to back up an argument in favor or against a premise. In the absence of fact the argument is just an opinion, which is fine if it is stated as an opinion and not gospel and particularly if the presenter of that opinion doesn't degenerate into hateful, personal and mean attacks against other people and not just the ideas they espouse.
It might be true newbies try betting and never come back.
It might also not be true.
Until there's proof it's just an opinion. Using that opinion to demean another person is exactly what we all see in all sorts of discussions these days which degenerate to name calling. The solution is to agree to disagree on an opinion and move on.
