I see KrWWW's point. Betting with Tx6 is kind of like going to Walmart: it's really convenient because everything is right there to bet on, but you're supporting the big business instead of going straight to the small bettors, thus forcing them to also go to Tx if they want a bet. I can see where it might be viewed as not wholly positive.
It's a lot of work what Tx6 does, and I appreciate what he does for this particular sub. He gives back what he makes, so I don't mind him monopolizing the bets in some forums and making bank off juice.

very rational post, For awhile i refused to bet with him but eventually I joined the dark side.
Very poor rural towns absolutely love it when a big company like Walmart open shop nearby. It creates massive amounts of jobs and the only form of tourism$ the locals will ever see.
When I came to baseball betting I probably would have never made bets if tx6 wasn't around. For many reasons but mainly trust and convenience.
Doubt anybody would take a ~200-300fg bet with a newbie like me and I wouldn't send upfront to someone with only ~200-300fg.
Walmart employs everyone and doesn't and gives an opportunity to create $ for everyone.
I wouldn't characterize big and well established companies as the dark side or necessarily say it causes small bettors to lose out.
