ctown guy:
i know what you mean regarding writeups. theres a ton of guys on various sites who type page after page of nonsense -- and show no profit because of it. personally i include writeups with my stuff because i like offering my view on a game to others who might be coattailing. but write-up or no write-up, a 4 sentence write-up or 50 page write-up, the game is still played on the field. im not a big believer in stats and trends- thus i dont include them in my posts. ive seen guys on other sites literally write 3 pages on a game and just babble on with pointless stats and info that every guy already knows, and have it lose by 4 touchdowns. write-ups certainly dont mean a guy is good. i definitely agree with ya there. proof is ultimately in the won/loss and units gained.
as far as the worm goes, normally i could say any guy ive ever met in real life that refers to himself in 3rd person is always a cheeseball and an utter nerd. but i know the worm to be a cool guy and well-intentioned. his 3rd person schtick is definitely cheesy, but he does provide good info so i roll with it. he knows the buffalo program pretty well. cant attest to the rest of his hyped plays, but he wins more than he loses. thats what counts. as long as he does that, i can deal with his extremely cheesy 3rd-person references. the only thing thats a little lame is that when someone specifically asks for a sentence or two or why you like a game, to "big-time" them and not offer it defeats the whole purpose of the site. except for a select few, the majority of the guys here bet normal to medium sized plays. to not be able to offer a guy some help when he asks why you like a play is questionable. personally- ive found worm to be one of the upper-echelon cappers here. but not sure if that should give him a free pass to big-time those guys who asked him for a thought or two on why he liked the game- especially after his play of the year lost outright two weeks ago. worm- youre too good of a capper to big time people. no need for it. im sure many just want to know why you like this one more than your game of the year that you just had two weeks ago. thats all
