For Old Times Sake

[Scott4USC]

Scott,

I'm not saying that you're doing anything shady, but why should your legions of fans have to keep track of what your units are worth for each different sport. Who cares how much your unit it? Who cares how long your unit is? I digress, but if someone is using a reasonable unit scale (as in, no 50 or 200 unit plays), then that is all that is needed. Who cares how much you claim to bet, dollar-wise?

I'm here to unite this forum.

You are right that nobody "needs" to know much I wager. But I think it is beneficial and I have nothing to hide. I expect to win every CFB play I post. That is why I bet $500 unit and in NFL I am average at best and that is why i bet $20 unit. But if I didn't post wager amounts, how will someone who values my plays differentiate? I might be hurting someone financially because I am too afraid to post my actual wager size AND explain myself. Why would I want that on anybody? I am not afraid to lose 5k, 10k, or 20k and posters knowing it. I''ll still be here. I am sure many posters here wish I did lose that much.

Another example. I see posters on the site average 10 unit plays. My question is why not scale it down if all your plays average 10 units? So if that person is up 100 units, people think WOW he is awesome! But reality is if he averages 10 units a play, he is up 5 units if he scaled it down. NOT SO IMPRESSIVE as bragging that you are up 100 units! Understand where I am getting at?

For me, I wager $500 unit so I might only be up 10 units but that is 5k. But if I used $100 unit rule, and was up 50 units people might think WOW he is awesome! But I am up the same $$$. So how can someone differentiate if I don't tell them how much I wager and if that is a lot of $$$ to me. $500 a lot of $$$ for me so I expect every game to win and I am bummed out if I lose. If I was betting $50 unit and I lose, I might not be so bummed out if I lose 1 unit.

Like I said, I don't give a $hit about bragging I am up 50+ units etc. I want quality units and I break it down to $500 unit so then my plays range on average between 1-5 units.

Most people look to see how many units someone is up. If someone quotes they are up 30 units etc people automatically think they are a great capper. Might not be true. If someone is up only 3 units but they bet $500 unit (and $500 is a lot of $$$ for them), that tells you something about them.

Quality units vs Quantity units

Scott,

I agree that it's ridiculous when people have 10 or 20 or 50 unit plays and then say they're up 350 units. That's just dumb. I think 5 units should be max if you're trying to accurately portray what you have going on. You say you use 1-5. My question to you is, who cares how much those units are in real money? What difference does it make? It has nothing to do with 'hiding' anything. It's just pointless.

Inside Info=having information from the..inside?? :scared

Thanks--here is a tough one-see if you can guess what movie this line of dialog is from:

"There is this great place around the corner thats makes a mean meatball sandwich-get me one...and a lemonade.........Utah, make it two......"

Oh well I'll give my say on the subject, only to keep this magnificient thread alive.

It's a free world. People can post what they want. The beautiful thing about an internet forum is that it's up to the reader to decide what to open up and read. When they do choose to do so, they then have the choice to use the information they read or discard it. If someone posts false records, so be it. If some newbie doesn't take the time to figure out who is for real and who is a moron, then he in fact is the moron for blindly following people. There was a time I felt it was the "duty" of the regulars here at MJs to call these people out, the ones who fudge their posts. I think at this point if people are stupid enough to follow someone after reading their last 5 posts, then they deserve what they get...losing money.

As far as specific posters, everyone here contributes different things to mjs. To me it's all what makes this place worth reading. From the worm's super duper extra large smashes to scott's blabbering, disgusting love for usc and diarrhea of the mouth, it's why i like this place.

Bottom line, if you don't like it, don't open their fuvking threads.

I'm off to have a beer

I think 5 units should be max if you're trying to accurately portray what you have going on. You say you use 1-5. My question to you is, who cares how much those units are in real money? What difference does it make? It has nothing to do with 'hiding' anything. It's just pointless.

I am up around 5 units on my posted NFL plays. For me that equals $100. There is a reason I bet only $20 NFL because I don't think I am that great.

In CFB I am up almost 3 units on posted plays = $1500. There is a reason I bet $500 unit CFB because I am very confident in myself.

If I didn't post $$$ amount per wager, how does someone differentiate? If you see me post $500 unit CFB and $20 NFL you know that I am a lot more confident in myself in CFB. Right?

If I lose 10 units in NFL I am down $200 but if I win 10 units in CFB I am up $5,000. Profit if $4,800!

If I don't post my unit size, I am down 10 units in NFL, up 10 units CFB, for profit of ZERO UNITS! For me personally I'll be up 4.8k but anybody who follows ALL of my plays, they are even.

How am I helping posters on this site from hiding my unit wager amount? I want people to profit with me!

No BS from me and hopefully I come out ahead. Everyone knows where I stand and knows exactly how I am doing "profit" wise up to this pt. The only thing people don't know are my wagers NOT POSTED and I don't even talk about those.

Understand? To me it makes sense. I am not afraid to lose 10k in front of everyone. Some people are embarrassed to keep win/loss record. I am not! Others don't want to be held accountable or be tracked. I track myself! Others get offended if someone critiques them, I obviously welcome it. Doesn't bother me.

You never have anything positive to say about me. Always negative. Why don't you do yourself a favor and put me on your IGNORE list. Madjack gives you this option and I think you need to take advantage of it. Have a good day!

 

[worm44]

Saint and Countinguy--I always liked you guys---A worm only attacks when provoked.......And by the way I am the only true moron around here..wait thats not what I wanted to say.....you are right the morons do know who they are--they are the ones who worry about MY record..My lies...MY post count...MY Info..etc...lead your own lives and stay out of my threads....you know my threads right? The ones with 5,000-6,000 views a week.wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaahhhhh!!

What a punk

I'd rather be a loser than a liar, and that makes one of us.

Maybe I should become a Buffalo Bulls fan, thats an awesome football team so I can root with you

:
By the way prove that I did not have info!

Considering your bet lost miserably, i'd say it did give us an inside look at what a liar you are.

smasharoooooo away!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's cathartic and important that we clear the air every now and then. It keeps everybodys emotional balance in order.

Scott,

You mistake my sarcasm as a dislike for you. That's what some people don't get. This is an INTERNET FORUM. I don't know you. I have never posted an opinion on your betting amounts, record etc. For what it's worth, I think your posts are accurate and what you say you bet, you do. I like your write-ups because they involve thought. Just because I photoshop your betting page for a few laughs doesn't mean I hate your guts.

I like the fact that you are an unbelievable homer. You know why? Because I am too. I'm probably the second biggest homer here...so I like the fact that someone else has such blind allegience to their school.

Good luck this year :mj14:

 

[worm44]

OOH-I lost a bet--Wow, that must have never happened to great capper like you...you are awesome........Next time (if it ever happens) i get info like I had that day I wil Smash it again---You know a Smash right?/ You know the plays you probably coat-tail every week......Now I am really mad you mad fun of the worst D-I football team in college ball----very original.....who did you go to for that quip--your friends down in Crenshaw???
