I'm not sure how anyone who pays attention to the actual gambling activity on the forum could miss out on how bad some Stake posters are at posting quality, constructive content that actually contributes to gambling.
That's exactly the point I was making earlier. That's because they weren't picked based on a quality criteria. The manager chose many members who would never be accepted in other campaigns with stricter quality control. The result is nonsense for the most part. There are exceptions, of course.
On self-mod threads, I delete a lot of spam and they come from Stake a lot. I get the impression most of them aren't even gamblers and wouldn't know the first thing about advising on a book/casino.
Yeah, they are only there because it's a requirement of their campaign to post in the gambling boards. I am sure that many don't even follow sports at all or the matched they are talking about because their posts show information you can find on any live score app and nothing more.
Real gamblers probably hang around in various prediction pools where you have to pay to gain access. That's where you will find genuine discussions about markets, odds, matched they bet on, etc.
