But do not underestimate those who are expertly or professionally involved in this kind of thing. If you want to keep track of user stats between races (as that seems to be your point), this easily allows to find descriptive patterns which are a unique characteristic of any high-profile gambler. I don't think they are hiding their names for the fun of it, and still less would they want to reveal their gambling habits to a couple of prying eyes
What do you mean by descriptive patterns ?
Do you mean how the gamblers paly with odds or bet amounts? You are right. No successful gambler want their strategy to be revealed.
but I think people want to see only their profits and losses. It won't reveal something important about them.
(Everyone has the right to hide any thing from the profile and I don't say they shouldn't hide their profile.)
Even if you have a certain pattern it doesn't matter because people can't reach to you no matter what. I mean we are talking about literally a fake nickname over a fake nickname here, how could anyone reach to a person with a fake nickname over a fake nickname, you wouldn't be even allowed to pm anyone because it is a fake one.
It is really not our topic anymore, everyone said what they want to say and it is obvious, some people wants to keep the hidden hidden and some people want hidden to be not hidden in the sense that we get to follow who is in top 10 all the time even if it is abc, xyz type of fake random nicks given to people with already hidden nicks, so from now on its wolf.bets part to decide what they want to do, I guess they will keep hidden since it is easier that way.
