You sound defensive. Like I said, it was a general statement, not directed at you personally.
Thing is, your last reply contradicts what you said:
Soo... I guess you are saying pro's are nits for not taking a coin toss bet?
In my experience, any gambler that routinely likes to send it in on something where you have no idea what the outcome should be, is a sucker. Pro's have a favorable edge and try to exploit that advantage. If that is a nit, than I'm ok with it. In my book, the only thing worse than being a nit is...being a sucker.

No chit... lol.
The NIT is ALWAYS the one that is NEVER willing to gamble.
I'm not sure NITs know what "to gamble" means.
To me, gambling is:
A toss up.
We have know idea what's gonna happen.
NOT:
I'm gonna be VERY comfortable with the game or I'm not playing.
The second version is what most consider:
Being a good match maker when in fact, its..... most of the time, a LOCK!!!!
Pros are not gambling, period!
Now, if you and some stranger plays a set well, ONE of you would most definitely be gambling. Which one?.....
BTW, your post has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. Nodda....
Another BTW, this is a POOL forum and people that play pool AND gamble are "GAMBLER'S IN POOL".
Just because money is bet does not mean it is a gamble for both parties.
Sometimes, sometimes..... it's more of a calculated risk, not gambling.
