Interesting, you completely bash Scal at every waking opportunity in every thread he opens.... And now you suggest bird account? Is your main objective to drive good cappers off of Covers? Tbh, I don't care what your agenda is as I have literally thousands of things that is more important than all this Covers drama. Just an observation.

If you really don't care, why write this post in the first place?

I always respected Scalabrine as a capper. I just pointed out some things over time about his behavior and his sheep labeled me as a "troll" because of it. Even when I made factual posts in his threads going against his picks. Like Wyoming against San Diego State and how Wyoming was a much better team at home ATS. Most of his sheep bashed me and Scalabrine dismissed my post because it disagreed with his opinion. 

As far as bashing Scalabrine now. Yeah, I'll be honest, he pissed me off when he said with out any merit that I had no life outside of gambling. So I started getting personal and giving it back to him. Fact is, me and Scalabrine have been members on Covers for the same amount of time and he has almost 4x the number of posts as me. He also posted through out the day on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Days most people spend with their families. If anyone doesn't have a life outside of gambling, it's him.

So that's my "agenda".

If this was truly the case why has Scalabrine been on here for over 10 years with over 22,000 posts?

It's the reality of losing. The grass is always greener on the other side. Good cappers on here start to lose and they blame the "trolls". So they run off to Twitter. And then still lose. No one else to blame. 

The reality is, no one wins over the long run.

I think this is true for the most part, but not because good cappers stop being good cappers. I truly believe that there are many good cappers but very few great gamblers, because emotions and psychological factors outside their control cause them to lose control and objectivity over how they wager. Probably only 2-3% of the population has the emotional, psychological makeup to handle the rigors of gambling over the long haul without losing their shirt.

This is officially crowned as the "yack-yack-yack-yack-yack" thread.

Don't take a break of more than a couple days.  It's a marathon, not a sprint.

I guess you have never seen a Scalabrine thread before. This is nothing.

Or, you could cap your own games.   But you're not intelligent enough apparently.

The important thing is what did we learn here? Melo says the Knicks are going back to the drawing board and I say fade them until Porzkys comes back. Bucks win tonight while Melo looks for some chalk.

WTF!! All this nonsense. If you can't respect Scal as one of the best Cappers on the site you shouldn't be gambling! Nobody is right all the time, but every play he makes he provides compelling takes (which 90% of the other posters) never see or cap!!

Stay strong SCAL!

But enough of that CRAP!! Mr. Bator HOLY SMOKES, what a pleasure to know you are still above ground!! I thought the worse! I expect a SPECIAL Mr. Bator legend thread on the Atlanta vs Seattle game. I can feel it in my Bones.


Welcome back to the living!!! You were missed!!
