[BIG TIME LOSER]

thanks for telling us how great you are again.

 

[wareagle]

where's the pick?

i thought you waited till right before tipoff?


do you normally start a thread 11 hours before tipoff?

TIA

 

[nervousTic]

This guy is getting ridiculous.

 

[Wise and Wiser]

BIG TIME LOSER,

Thanks for proving to everyone in your first post that you live up to your name!

wareagle,

So now you're giving me crap about what time I start my thread. Get a life! Yes, I normally do start my thread first thing in the morning, because I don't have time to update my records later in the day. You act like I'm the only one here who posts his/her record. I don't update my records to tout myself, I do it so people can assess whether or not they want to tail or fade me. Like Jack said yesterday, a .783 winning percentage only lasts for so long. Also, there is a day game today in case you didn't notice. You probably didn't. In fact, the only reason you opened my thread was because you want to know who the winners are tonight like everyone else.

nervoustic,

I won't even waste my time responding to you!

 

[THE NAKED ONE]

I think there should be two forums for each sport.

In the first forum. it can be how it is now. You post, and then anyone else can also post within your thread.

But in the other type of forum, if you start a thread, then no one else can post in your thread. So you post your plays (and whatever else you feel like posting) with no fear of other people getting involved.

So why not just have two forums for each sport? It would make life easier for everyone, and the threads would not get convoluted with crap. It's hard to find the plays in everyone's threads sometimes, mostly because of people congratulating other people. It just gets too cluttered.

I wish everyone posted a record with their plays. That could also be a rule for this new forum. You start a thread, you MUST post a DETAILED record.

These are just some suggestions to "ease the pain" a little for everyone. It doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to do.

 

[Mr. Black Cat]

I'm not one to normally get involved in the drama, but I have to make a comment here.

I wasn't one to jump on board with W&W. I handicap my games (sometimes ride coattails too)and always have my selections in well before the time he posts his picks. So for me, this system doesn't work.

However, I'm happy for him and everyone who tailed him from the start. I'm really finding it tough to understand why so many have to be critical, not only of W&W but others who have the guts to post selections. Unless MJ knows that something is shady about this guy, let him be. If this is WORM as some have feared I'm sure he would have been exposed by MJ and banned by now.

I want to thank everybody who posts their selections. I only wish that the rest of us could find a way to keep the negativity away from here. If you don't like a poster and their selections, so be it. But, why not keep it to yourself?

This is a great forum. Let's keep it that way.

Best of luck to all.

On average, I've seen far more self-promotion for far less noteworthy capping.

On average, I've seen far more ego draw far less derision.

On the whole, whatever the baggage or the agenda, it's getting plenty perplexing.

Thanks for the picks, Wise and Wiser.

Ike Clanton: Listen, Mr. Kansas Law Dog. Law don't go around here. Savvy?

Wyatt Earp: I'm retired.

Curly Bill: Good. That's real good.

Ike Clanton: Yeah, that's good, Mr. Law Dog, 'cause law don't go around here.

Wyatt Earp: I heard you the first time.

Wyatt Earp: Winner to the King, five hundred dollars.

Curly Bill: Shut up, Ike.

Johnny Ringo: [Ringo steps up to Doc] And you must be Doc Holliday.

Doc Holliday: That's the rumor.

Johnny Ringo: You retired too?

Doc Holliday: Not me. I'm in my prime.

Johnny Ringo: Yeah, you look it.

Doc Holliday: And you must be Ringo. Look, darling, Johnny Ringo. The deadliest pistoleer since Wild Bill, they say. What do you think, darling? Should I hate him?

Kate: You don't even know him.

Doc Holliday: Yes, but there's just something about him. Something around the eyes, I don't know, reminds me of... me. No. I'm sure of it, I hate him.

Wyatt Earp: [to Ringo] He's drunk.

Doc Holliday: In vino veritas.

Doc Holliday: Evidently Mr. Ringo's an educated man. Now I really hate him.

W&W, sorry for the invasion but I also need to comment here.

I second everything Mr. Black Cat...I really don't get why some people feel it necessary to bash and throw negative comments in there. Its not like you see these people face to face where I know those that then can't hide behind cyberspace would not be making rediculous comments. MJ's doesn't need immature morons to post negative comments about posts that were losers. We all know who wins and loses games, as well as who the good and not so good cappers here are. It just goes to show what kind of contributor someone will be to this forum when they have been a memeber since December or even February of this year and all they post are the negative posts. Those of you who do choose to make these comments need to get a life...try posting your own plays and then bash your own threads if it makes you feel better.

BTW, what did WORM do? I remember him last year but don't know why he got banned. Any info for a good story is always welcome.

 

[Tam]

Wise,
As you can tell by the views numerous people view your postings and respect you. Just ignore all the bashing. It's really immature for anyone to judge people. You have your own style of posting just like everyone else. I appreciate what you have contributed to many people on this forum. WIsh you continued the success...thanks!

 

[nervousTic]

The issue is the obvious "hype" your trying to build by creating the thread 12 hours ahead of time.

If time is the issue, save it into Word in the AM on your PC and then cut/paste it when you actually post your picks.

What's sad is that you were warned yesterday, yet you've done it twice now since. Just post your picks when you create your thread like the other 200 cappers on here, and save the dramatics around building views on your empty thread. You're teasing the less seasoned users around here and it isn't healthy for the board.

Looks like you've been around here long enough to see that this never ends well. The question is why are you setting yourself up for the predictable demise?

 

[Wise and Wiser]

nervoustic,

In your opinion, I'm trying to build hype by posting early. Don't say it's obvious. Many people don't think the same way you do. Just for the record, you couldn't be more wrong about me. I guess you will never get that through your thick skull!

Cut and paste into word? Thanks for the word processing tip Poindexter! You obviously have a lot more time on your hands in the AM than I do. I have a two year old daughter to take care of.

Setting myself up for the predictable demise? Let's get one thing straight, I don't owe you or anyone else here a damn thing. I post here because I'm trying to help, period! I spend a tremendous amount of time doing what I do. I don't want to leave, but if I do, it will actually free up some extra time that I certainly could use for myself.

 

[nervousTic]

My 6 year old daughter knows how to cut and paste.

Listen dude, I respect your capping streak - as do most. Just some friendly advice that you're going to catch grief by creating these hype threads that don't have actual picks in them.

Otherwise, good luck.

 

[JMoney]

wise just ignore all these losers. Like i said before they are jealous of your streak and the fact no one cares about their picks now. Everything was fine until half these idiots decided to flood your threads with nonsense.

nervousTic, we went over this yesterday. He said the reason why he puts this up early is because his picks come 10-15 min before the game. If you arnt watching or know he is gonna make a play today, you will miss it.

I hate how this guy is getting crap for doing well....

 

[Wise and Wiser]

nervoustic,

Obviously, I was being facetious with the copy and paste comment! Like I said, if I catch grief, I catch grief. I'm only here to help others make money. If all people want to do is criticize me, then I will take my picks elsewhere. Don't want to do that, but it's no sweat off my back.

 

[KING-MONEY]

Hey WISER I dont understand what people are trying to get across...I thought the only goal of this site was to make money and help give people insight to the games....I feel that u do that with everygame you pick if it is 5 mins before tip off or if it is 11 hours before tip off it does NOT MATTER you are getting the information to everyone and it is beyond me why they dont respect you...I dont know if people just get that jealous because youa re doing so well and they cant win money or what but i say BLOCK OUT all the LOSERS and BAD COMMENTS and keep rocking those picks man because YOU ARE DOING A HELL OF A JOB...
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK and PLEASE no leaving the thread becaue there are pple here that have RESPECT for you so u should stick around...
BEST OF LUCK TO YOU TONIGHT....I'LL be WATCHING

 

[Wise and Wiser]

KING,

I could care less about whether people here respect me or not! As long as my family, friends, and colleagues respect me, I'm a happy man.

wiser...nowhere was i giving you shit....i just dont understand why you continue to do this 1 day after Jack told you not to. you said it was to update your record....is that not what you did at the end of yesterdays thread??? everyone can clearly see that you have a major complex with regards to attention. you start a thread 11hrs before tipoff with no information, statistics, ect... then you post 10 more times throughout the day telling people to get ready, its coming in 2hrs...it's like a countdown or something...WTF????? post your games like everyone else does around here and follow Jack's rules

 

[KING-MONEY]

Right on BUD....well if it matters i respect u and your capping so goodluck to u tonight and i love following your plays.....
BEST OF LUCK

No, please don't leave. What would the forum do?
