Question - the purpose of this forum is to help bettors with info that can help them win, yes?
If someone helps by giving you a winning pick, you make $100 (using standard odds, laying $110 to win $100.)
If someone provides info that warns you off a pick that loses, that info is just as valuable as providing a winning pick (you could say it's even more valuable, as the loss costs you $10 more than the win.)
So here's my question - why is it that every time I see a poster pointing out someone is cheating on his record, the poster who points out the cheat is attacked?
What kind of backwards thinking is that?
It's a strange thing I don't see elsewhere. Most bettors are appreciative of someone pointing out something they were not aware of.
I'm not talking about a poster who is name-calling and making unproven accusations, I'm talking about posters who show exactly how and where the cheating occurs, yet they're called haters and losers?
"Haters" doesn't even fit the situation. Who hates an unknown random on the internet??!! What kind of mind even suggests such a thing?
And the only losers I see are the sycophants sticking up for the cheater. "There are none so blind as those that refuse to see."
Pointing out someone is a serial cheater is not hating. It's providing useful information for bettors to incorporate into their decision.
I watched this happen from the sidelines throughout the NBA bubble season, but didn't post. Last week I decided to register and jump in when I saw a poster being attacked for pointing out a serial cheater, a guy multiple posters have outed for cheating on his record, multiple times, multiple sports, a clown who has been cold busted posting under multiple ID's to kiss his own azz, and lies and denies every time when confronted with the irrefutable facts.
Talented handicappers don't have to cheat on their record. And posters don't out cheaters because they hate them, or they're trying to run them off. They don't give a damn whether they post or not. They point it out so others don't fall for the fake record and make a wager because of it (and, sometimes, to mock the cheater.)
And they should be applauded for exposing the fraud, not vilified.
I'm not talking about myself here, I don't care what randos on the internet say about me. I don't even respond, they're not worth the time.
But when you have a poster who is a serial cheater, who consistently pads his record with winners he never gave out, and consistently, conveniently forgets to add his losers, he deserves to be called out on it, and other posters deserve to be made aware of it.
I always wave back at the little Amazon guy. I feel like it's the courteous thing to do.
