Random follow #149 - @mark_punt

It seems quite apt that as the All Blacks test match is being played on the television behind me that today's #RKT who has a passion for sport.  Yes he enjoys the rugby.  But he also enjoys all sports.  And he is willing to have crack, roll the dice, take a punt on what the eventual outcomes of sports events may be.

@mark_punt has a permanent finger on the pulse of sports betting.  And when you become so wrapped up in a hobby like sports betting then the odds are definitely on your side.  But Marks tweeting is about more than a mere "I put $20 on this"or "I put $50 on that".  What he also does is injects s bit of commentary and light humor while watching the game.

And like some of the other great tweeters I have profiled his tweets make up a sequence.  So tweets must be read in conjunction with each other to make sense.  Like this piece of classic twitter commentary right here - 

"HOLD ON DOGS #NRL #DogsOfWar"

"FAAAAARRRKKKK"

Whats really cool though is that he is open to most sports.  AFL, NRL, NBA, rugby union and most other mainstream international sports are his thing.  And did I mention soccer?  Yes that sport too.  It takes a fair bit of doing your homework to stay ahead of the game.  Some people put all their faith in lady luck but the wise punters know that winning it big takes so much more than that.

And while sports do make up a majority of his tweets he also puts out there the everyday insight into his life tweets.  Such as - 

"Thanks for nothing immune system *blows nose*" and 

"Still mentally scarred from googling impending surgery. Scotch should fix that." or

"Free advice. DON'T google the surgery you're about to have. It's not cool. I think I'm going to be sick."

And here is one classic tweet if ever there was one worth repeating - "I'm having a meal without beer. It's called breakfast."

Don't worry too much if sports isn't your thing.  He's not a mad tweeter like some other people are.  He tweets occasionally and won't clog up your timeline with random facts and figures that may not mean anything to you.  So overall Mark is a sports mad tweeter who isn't afraid to take a risk and put his money where his mouth is.     And that right there is the true essence of a great tweeter.
