Barry was literally THE laughingstock of the betting threads for a long time. He'd come back whining and saying stuff like "I'm finished, I can't do this anymore. I just lost another $xxxx and it has to stop". I'm serious, he'd post stuff like that in here and it was like you could feel the despair of a problem gambler that just kept betting and just kept losing. Then seemingly overnight he's gone to th
is "I'm a professional, I'm a sharp, I bet for a living" schtick. It's honestly really bizarre. Myself, Ignp, Obvlivian, maybe Joe B at the end, Edole, and some others remember sad case Barry. We mocked him yes, but he was a lovable loser. Now he's just an obnoxious loser.
That said, he's picked some NBA winners so gotta give him some props at least. And every now and then he makes a good MMA pick. But when he calls Cain (-500), Ronda (-1200), and Conor (-400) "locks that can't lose" and then they do, he won't say anything other than "Uhh, the altitude beat Cain." And not a peep about Rousey or Conor at those insanely steep odds.
So maybe, MAYBE he is a legit NBA capper. But for MMA he still sucks horribly. It's just now I don't feel bad when he loses like I used to.
