    gamblingsnob I have been busting that guys balls for a while.  He plays every single game and O/U each day and is down like a posted 100+ units now.

    That was ment as a joke and that maybe that is why he is down so damn much.  And winning Gold is winning Gold no matter where you win it!

    That is a very misleading and, imo, bullshit, practice lana.




    What is your point? Weakest post? What's your beef?
    How is a nice record bullshit? This is an oxymoron. Either a record is nice or it isn't. I'm glad you admit I have a nice record because it is. How is this weak? Would you like me to purposely pick losers for you to make it a little less nice? I am open about my open totals and I stopped playing them so I don't think it is necessary to post that record every day. Why do you think I have an asterisk by my record? Do you think it's a typo? No, it's because of my totals and they will be added so smoke a blunt and chill out.

    All you and some other haters have on me these days are my totals. Get over it. They sucked. I admit this. That's why I stopped playing them. And rest assured, I will add these back to my record pretty soon. I wanted to pad my regular wins a little bit. God forbid.

    I respect all the cappers here and so should everyone else. At the end of the season you will see that I will be as good if not better than anyone else. This is not cockiness, it is reality. Only I know how successful my plays are so I can say this. And you are in no position to deny it given my success thus far.
    The point is yes, according to your record you are up 40 units, but that's really only 20 units playing 1 unit per game. Then when you add in your losses from totals and your record isn't looking so nice anymore, is it?

    If someone is a flat better (not the real definition as vanzack pointed out, but what people call flat betting here) they should ALWAYS bet 1 unit per game. If you're betting 2 units a game why not just raise the amount of your units to what would be 2 units? If that is your general bet amount for every game that should be a unit, not 2 units. Someone could easily say they bet 10 units a game and be up 80 units right now...but would that be so great? Sure, they are still making money and that's nothing to laugh at, but really they have made 8 units. I hope you get the point here because it's not very complicated.

    Why do you care about pading wins so much? The fact is you were down money and embarrassed about it because for some reason you want everybody tailing you, and knew that nobody would tail a capper in the red.

    And no, it is cockiness. GL with your plays though..

    E-Mac, it's douchebags like you that make this place tough to wade through sometimes.

    Yes, I am up 20 something units. You are really quibbling with this? Really? Complaining over this just because someone might have even more units won is like whining about your Corvette ZR1 because you neighbor has a 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo. Give me a freaking break.

    If you want to bet 1 unit a game, this is your personal decision. It is not mine and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that nobody with a serious track record of success will only risk 1 unit a play. It is financial lunacy. And even if I were risking 1 unit, I would still be up a good amount and I will be up a good amount under this standard at the end of the year.

    To compare my 2 unit bets to 8 units bets further shows how you will say anything to show your animosity toward me. That's a 400% increase. The exposure of one's bankroll increases astronomically risking 8 units compared to 2. There is a indescribable difference between the two.

    Keep talking about me being down money. I play to be up at the end of the season, not to please chumps like you by being up a certain amount on a certain date. Me being down money is old news so keep harping on it. It's the only knock you have against me.
