PHOENIX566, you normally are constructive and helpful in posting, but that last statement was plain idiotic. WHO are you to tell someone to quit posting??? Look if you don't like what he posts, don't read his thread, simple as that. No one FORCES anyone here to read anyone else's posts or picks, it's your choice, therefore your responsibility, as are your individual wagers and bankroll.
His system seemed pretty easy to me, in fact, you nailed it when you said ARIZ would be 10*. It's up to each individual to decide their comfort zone, and if you weren't comfortable with playing DBACKS for ten, then don't. If YOU CHOSE not to, don't blame FLETCH because you ended up losing on the day...
This is NOT in Fletcher's defense necessarily, it's just that it's BS that someone takes time to post opinions or picks here, and then has to go thru so much crap after doing all the work and taking the time, because people don't understand. It's usually NOT because it's too difficult, it's normally because someone is too damn lazy to do any work on their own.
RAYMOND and FLETCHER have many followers and get bombarded every day with sometimes ignorant, self explanatory bs that for the most part, they are congenial in answering, but there comes a point when enough is enough. EVERYONE should only "use" other's thoughts, picks, etc in compiling their own wagers... if one chooses to blindly follow one particular person's picks, then THAT individual made a CHOICE, and must live with that decision, win or lose, and not place the blame on the person HE/SHE chose to follow.
I am not trying to stir up anything either PHOENIX, I just get tired of reading people tell others how to post THEIR OWN thread. That's why we have FREEDOM of SPEECH, so we can all post as we please, how we please, and in some cases, with no regard how others may interpret or construe it. To each their own I say.... we are not regulated here to post to any particular pattern, and any attempt to imply we should is lucicrous. Again, if you can't comprehend or interpret what another posts, then avoid that thread.
A very simple solution...
If you have nothing positive or helpful to post, then think twice before posting... we are in this together, against the "man", we do not need inner turmoil and dissension. Granted we all have egos, opinions, tempers, etc that get rattled at times, but we all need to think twice before hitting SUBMIT REPLY sometimes... I've been guilty of it myself, but again, it's not helpful or needed
