One thing I notice about you guys is 9 of 10 have large egos, now I do as well and I also know folks like us counter-strike at the slightest perceived slight, so I'm not judging.
Now what I can't decipher is why so many portray that cocky confidence? I've done my introspection and I've found the reason I am the way I am, I win a lot(not just sports bets) and I've just come to expect it. I can't believe 9 of 10 of us are profitable so what's the reason? Maybe some win a lot in other areas of life? Maybe some are already wealthy and do this as a hobby? Maybe some lose a lot in life but have prestigious online personas that helps them decompress? Maybe some think their losing streak is an act of God and the variance will equalize over time? Just some of the random shit I think about, further thought required but not likely allotted.
