Alright PG, you and I have talked about this.
Here, look at the words that I've bold faced. He IS, once again, trying to teach you something, he is NOT making fun of you.
Read his lesson and learn what a "wiseguy" is--in terms of the world of professional bettor's parlance. This is what he is explaining to you, for your benefit.
It is a lesson for you to learn, and a good one.
Don't get ragged when he throws up his hands and says, "hell with you."
You are stubborn as a mule, and sometimes, you do convey that you know more than so many that have been at this far longer than yourself.
Even blind pigs find nuggets now and then, but in the meantime, try to be less sensitive. And understand no one is against you--its not the case.
