[Mjolnir]

thanks Jack.

 

[Turfgrass]

I see we have a heavy hitter in the house.

Hate to speak out against Jack, but I think this is unnecessary. Yes the whole money thing was ridicolous and uncalled for, but if the guy is making a concious effort to stick to units, and just make plays, then why ridicule the guy.

Anybody who does not like his threads does not have to open them. Surely they have better things to do, but I think there are a lot out there that feel the way I do as well.

Dont they??? :shrug:

 

[MadJack]

yes, *SOME* people actually like the guy and that's why i don't throw him out.....yet.

his threads stir up so much BS that it spreads into the other betting threads. kinda like a brawl ready to break out.

the betting forums are suffering because people aren't getting along because of.........whatever. but, these threads do not help the situation one bit.

if you want to read richkas posts, they will be available in the general forum.

what's wrong with that? i can't make everybody happy but i'm certainly not having THIS guy run all the quality posters' off. nope...not going to happen at madjacks.

wagertalk is right around the corner for people who like that kinda stuff.

thanks

Well said, Jack.

I'm sorry to see this Jack. I might have missed something but I haven't seen Anthony do anything except maybe exaggerate the size of his plays and I can't even prove he has done that. He has taken a tremendous amount of BS from, in most cases. the same people flollowing him from thread to thread and getting it started. I have to commend him on not responding in kind to these attacks. I haven't seen him do anything I haven't seen done here many times in the past. I haven't seen him go on anyone else's thread and be derogatory in any way toward them or even in self defence on his own thread.

In a way this reminds me of a man that came to Jack's about 3 or 4 years ago. Because of the size of his bets he was taking the same kind of abuse that I see Anthony taking today. It didn't matter that he was posting winners every day. It was the money and a lot of people were just hoping he would lose but he didn't, which seemed to bother them even more. Madjacker's know that man today as Fletcher.

The thing that bothers me is that I see some people I have had a lot of respect for getting caught up in this and I thought they were above it.

Anthony, where-ever Jack puts you I'll still read your thread and congradulate you on your winning days Good luck today.

 

[Hoops]

gsp- You have got to be kidding. Take the blinders off.

 

[crookycymru]

GSP....I could not agree with you more. Excellent post

Madjack, I understand you have a more personal interest in these threads than anyone, as it is your business that needs to be protected.

I am not saying I like him, and as with any poster on here, I open his threads to read their views only. However, you openly admit that it his threads that are causing the hassle, and not the guy himself. It is not him that needs punishing but the countless people who are reacting to what he is posting in his threads. If I had this kind of bullshit in my rugby threads as he is recieving, I would have a right to feel hard done by.

This will be my final post on this subject, as I really dont want to get into a slanging match with anyone on here, but I thought I should submit my thoughts, before we get the bullshitters come into this thread to bash the guy......again

 

[kosar]

Seems like you're the one stirring it up again, GSP. Why don't you just let it die? You can still find his picks in the general discussion area and be able to coattail the guy to your hearts content.

 

[MadJack]

gsp, yes, you missed a lot. but, because he has agreed to follow the rules from here on out, he still gets to post, although, it isn't because he wants to be nice by sharing his plays, that's for sure.

he's probably a nice guy that didn't know he was breaking the rules until i contacted him by email after many offences.

since you mention fletcher, i'll say this;

fletcher doesn't advertise his site, or link or phone number or address or email; in his sig, in his posts, in his profile, etc, etc, so why should THIS guy get special treatment?

i want serious and honest discussions in the betting forums and so do most of the other members. how in the hell can anybody take a guy as serious when he claims to bet $100,000 on a game or half, or quarter? it's total BS and it filters into the other threads along with the bashing, etc.

he'll be fine here, for now, and so will his followers.

thanks for your opinion.

gsp:

you mean you need proof that betting 125k on a quarter of a football game isnt possible? seeing as they very few books that even offer those lines have a 1 or 2k limit?

you need proof that betting 100k on the first 4.5 innings of a baseball game isnt possible?

really not even worth discussing anymore.

kinda surprised that you need to even remotely question jack as to why he doesnt want his site to be made a mockery of.

As said before I think the main problem with AR is that
1.) eventhough he fixed to units, the insane money amounts posted is what started it.
2.) posting "guarantee" "lock" anything like that can make people that are new to the site or only come in as guests to view might be mislead to lose all there money following. granted that is the persons fault also but still...
3.) i've seen more then once that after a win he spit out comments like "im the greatest capper alive".... if the man can tout himself he should sure as hell be allowed to recieve the critisim.
4.) granted this isnt himself but it seems like half the forum loves the guy and half doesnt ... and i dont think that will ever change.

I cant see the harm in moving his thread to general discussion? btw I have no clue if anything I said just made any sense cuz im trying to work and write at same time so sue me These threads will go on forever just like "XxX" "the 5* poster guy" forgot his name and others that come in here thinking that the forum is a popularity contest. ... and umm yea... thats about it

 

[gsp]

Jack, I mentioned Fletcher because when he first came to Jack's (before he had a site or any of the other stuff) he had to spend more time defending himself, because of the size of his bets, than he did posting his plays. I wasn't aware that Anthony had broken any of your rules and since I don't have time to read every single post his name is on in every forum, I guess I missed something. Still, based solely on what I have seen, I'll treat him just like I do every other capper at Jack's. Congradulate him on his winners and keep my mouth shut on his losers. Good luck to all of us. Looks like we're going to need it.

 

[AnthonyRichkas]

Its ashame I got thrown in here for following rules. I cant beleive the flaming dictates what went on. But thats cool. I can take a hint. And here I had a huge total in MLB that I was going to post along with some NHL. Thats allright though. You guys can bet plays from people like Fletcher and keep paying your man. If people want my plays they can cross the street.

 

[kosar]

Come on, A-train, give us a hint on that big MLB total! GSP might go nuts if he doesn't have access to your plays!

 

[Teddy KGB]

Why take a shot at fletcher? Last I checked he had no involvment in this posts and when you won he congratulated you and said u going to units was a good job? So I guess the punishment for you moving to general forum ur not gonna post your "big plays"? What gets better then "Easy Money"? :shrug:
