I'm surprised with your responses, Nolan. You put in too much time on your own to try and benefit from blind plays posted after one full day of success.

Bobby:
I've read many of your posts over the years and I presume you meant no harm from the remark. I agree with Nick D and others that it's not cool to come into the party and piss in the punchbowl.
That said,
I'm ALWAYS looking for an edge, and try to find it no matter where I can get it. There are several cappers here that I follow -- some because of their analysis, others because of their posted records, and still others who actually trigger a contrarian bet because I disagree with the capping. You win some, and you lose some.
If I were to list all of the cappers I have played, based on their work, that list would certaly run into a hundred or more (over the past four years -- which is the length of time I have been here). Jimeniz, Hoops, Fletcher, Hellah, NY Raider and some others are just a few of the people I have made money with at various times.
One of my favorite MJS stories is when I was stuck about $5K a couple of years ago, and then started riding NDNFAN in baseball. I got clean in a week and was up a dime, whenhe went sometthing like 15-2 over a 8-day span. Of course, NDNFAN and others (me) will have ups and downs, but if someone has solid handicapping skills and is hot, that seems to perpetuate itself to a certain extent.
When Hellah mentions anything about the MAC, I listen. It's that simple.
I could go on with other examples -- but you get the idea.
On these plays, I mentioned that I was on some of the NBA plays myself, then hit them extra hard when I saw someone I respect was also touting the play. After kicking some ass and pocketing some nice coin the previous day, I pretty much said what the f*ck and decided I'd shoot 200 a piece on each of those college games. I figure a bad day would be a small loss, but a good day might be a real bonanza. Obvioulsy, i wish now I had bet them up to at least 300-500 range. I really liked TOLEDO also, so that was the only game I hit for a large amount.
The point is -- it's a TEAM effort at MJS, or ou can choose to play your picks on your own. My comments are simply an acknowledgement that there are some great people here and they should be commended for those efforts. I thought it would be a bit rude not to give Hellah and his man some credit after blistering the board and going 15-4 over the past two days -- especialy on some games that many would consider a crapshoot.
SIDE NOTE: Notice that on just about every play, the line was not even close? THAT's handicapping, my freind.
