scal hit 70% in 2015.
The Kansas City Royals won the World Series in 2015.

Does either matter in June of 2019?

Agree, hate to say it Scal but it just seems like you're trying to stay relevant.  The only winners you post now are max bet $25 props that betonline post to attract action.  I used to tail you way back when but you've lost your touch since then.

LC truly is a one of a kind capper, he has insanely sick reads on games.  You don't really need to look any further than his plays on the Raptors in the NBA Finals to see this.

If any of us were being offered what he's being offered, I don't think we'd be turning it down either.

You asked me to stop betting when I was +75 units on the season as you assured regression was around the corner. Finishing numbers between NFL & NBA this year were +174 units and 210k of profit. To say the least, I’m more than glad I didn’t listen to you back then and I definitely don’t need to now either. 


For the rest who’ve been asking, among a couple of other arrangements in the works, I’ll be joining a groupthink with a few whale bettors who invited me in for the upcoming NFL season. My attention moving forward will be on nothing but the 2019 NFL + NBA season.


Mods feel free to move to PB. Thx everyone else.





Unfortunate that you Americans get taxed on that profit.   We get it all.

Then tell us what you are leaving for? 

Why would the whales care if you posted your picks? No one knows who you are or who the whales are and never will. It's just an avatar and a handle. You live your life in anonymity posting in one digital sphere and work with the whales in the other (something you could have done without telling anyone, and you could have kept posting).

The negativity? Give me a break. Negativity has been the centerpiece of Covers and Wagerline forever. I had more insults thrown at me in my 660 post Redskins Giants thread than you have in your entire posting tenure. You just come back at these morons with double the firepower and they wither like earthworms on pavement after a downpour.

You are getting paid something to provide picks to someone who ultimately will sell those picks to buyers,

OR

You are getting paid directly from this group. 

That is a tout through and through. Period. 

That is shameful. 

Let's just be upfront: You NEVER posted the NBA picks like you did this year. You posted more NBA picks THIS YEAR, than I've posted in TWO DECADES.

Why? It's because you were massaging the following you were building or testing the waters/trying to impress this whale group that is paying you a handsome sum of money (it better be handsome if you made 210K and someone made you an offer that impressed you enough to work for them).

All I know is this: I have a job. I make money. I don't need to get paid for my posts and never will. I would never get into a position where I needed to make money by selling picks to anyone...ever. That is why I post for free and always have. With write-ups that not only inform, but educate and inspire.

And you were regarded as one of the last remaining cappers (like myself) who would never go tout and a poster could just sign onto covers and look you up for a quick pick. An old reliable. Now you are selling out to some whale faction in the shadowy outposts of Vegas.

Thankfully, I'll still be here to give the masses what they want. Because that is who I am. Always giving. And never receiving a dime.

Because I care. 

Because I want the Average Joe to beat the House.

Because I'm a stand up guy even though when I lose 30% of the time, and still get shi* on.

Anyhow, I have no idea how much kickback you are giving to the mods from this venture but it must be a pretty penny because your admission to go tout in this thread is a direct violation of Covers Standards, the mortal sin of those standards in fact.

As it is a direct violation of the dignity of capping to wave a hanky at LC as he goes tout (and admits it to your face!). What the hell is wrong with you morons?

Everyone's gone off their rocker. This entire thread is like an alternate universe. I will not wave a hanky. That's for sure. 

When this whale venture goes belly up, we're not taking you back. I won't allow. Not after this farce of an exit.

And what ya hit a capping rough patch, feel free to sign on and look up my pick for the night. That I can't stop you from doing and it's a prudent course of action for a capper in a pickle. 


Scalabrine,

Signing OFF

For all the mortgages I helped half and likely pay off in full in 2015? 

Yeah, that sorta matters in June of 2019 when that same guy is sun-bathing on the white sands of Bora Bora because of me, living his best life because of my capping .

Well said Scal. At least be honest about why you’re leaving. “Not because of the money” he said? Rather due to the negativity received? Oh please. You could have simply made your own group somewhere, anywhere. and gathered those of us who’ve been nothing but loyal to you in it, in order to assure the absence of negativity. If anyone would have been negative in it, you would have the power to simply remove them unlike here on covers. Instead you go and try to exploit our loyalty towards you that we’ve shown all this time.

Won’t fool me with spending a penny of mine on your picks. Never spent a penny on anyone’s picks and never I will, besides I’m sure we’ll have em for free on Service forums anyways. But leaving like this isn’t the way to go out, leaving in a truthful manner would have actually earned you some respect from me, not that you care for it and that’s fine. That’s just my opinion. Just like the people who thought Warriors would have won with Klay and the others who thought Raptors would have won in 5 without the Nurse timeout. Oh well.

Think about it for real though...if you were a soon to be tout in LC's position...you would also tell the same white lie (maybe not even a white lie as I am sure LC is doing fine either way, maybe he just wants EXTRA MONEY planning for his future or retirement, again, we don't know) but you would also make a claim about the trolls, rather than just coming out and admitting it's all for the money. Because it's common sense how people think- If you are wanting to sell them your tout package but tell them you're only doing it for the money, then obviously that will lower your sales. So just think about it like that, and you'll see that LC did nothing wrong here.

Now reading your 2nd post sounds really dumb now. Just think about what you are saying- LC is some big liar because he mentioned he was leaving because of trolls? So you are saying if you were able to pick as he does, with the offer he does, you would rather stay here and deal with negativity and not even be paid for your time? LOL!

If LC Was a big liar, I doubt he would have said anything about the "offer" to begin with. an_light

Thank you Rain.

You are one of the only sensible posters reacting responsibly and appropriately to this fiasco.

Because if LC is not shamed by the Covers collective (he’s not, only me and a few brave others are doing so) there is no barrier preventing similar conduct (using this message board as a guinea pig collective springboard to start a business venture).

SHAME is all we have to offer LC.

And that is what you will receive for this. I’ll even put a nun’s habit on and ring a bell at your side reciting it as you exit the site barefooted.

Scal….please put the jealousy on pause. Be happy for the guy if that's at all possible. He's doing what he choses to do to better himself and his significant others. Why do you have to make this such a dishonorable accomplishment? If you want to continue to post free picks, do it.....end of story. I'm sure there will be many here that will appreciate it. 

Covers will survive. Others will contribute here. No worries! Come on over to the investment threads and the posters there will try to help add to your already lucrative lifestyle! peace_5

This thread won't die. You know what? I take back what I said. Best od luck, LC. We haven't had much interaction...or any. I have't spent any time in your threads but every man deserves to explore which ever ventures and opportunities seem beneficial to that man and those close to him. The best drop the mic moment you can have on this site is to not even post in this thread again and see how many pages the peanut gallery will push it to sanz your presence.

Scal.........Wow. You're beginning to sound like uncle Rico.

Damn! I was just thinking that post #474 by Gamble would be the final one. Seemed like a fitting ending for the thread.....And then here comes good ole Stu, to revive the thing again. Lol

Every Scal post now seems like it should be read in the Steven Colbert 'Trump' voice. Trump isn't as loquacious or verbose as Scal but the self-aggrandizement is spot on.

I know there are many in the forums who can't stand Colbert, and i'm not saying i'm a fan, but if you've ever heard his impression of Trump, read one of Scal's posts in that voice and tell me i'm wrong.

And then you...and then Scal will post again.. and then someone else. You're crazy if you think this thread was fading with that post. And besides, count how many posts you have in this thread. Then count how many I have. Then ask yourself, "Who has more to do with keeping it going?"

I swear you’re all insane.

The guy is going tout.

It was once a mortal sin but now because you like the guy it’s ok???

Have even a mustard seed of capping ethics here. Jesus 

Just disgraceful....

It’s pretty simple and here’s how normal, respected cappers play this one out:

LC: I’m going tout.

Covers: Bye Bye and don’t let the door hit ya in the as*.

Pretty simple.

Also simple is why no one should support touts:

Because they shift all the liability from the capper to the bettor while making a guaranteed return. And whale or Average Joe, neither will be able to overcome BOTH:

1) the juice on a bet (people scratch and claw for the lowest juiced lines

AND

2) The tout’s fees.

That’s why touts are regarded as sc um.

Can’t believe I just had to relay that like I’m talking to first graders but apparently many of you have zero clue as to why touts should be shunned...Sad!

Trump (when polls are in his favor):  "Polls are great, I love the polls!"

Trump (when polls are not in his favor):  "Polls are fake news"

scal (with a good win percentage):  "Winning percentage is all that matters"

scal (with a bad win percentage):  "It's all about Units won"...  Oh wait...  Unless it's LC's Unit's won, then it's about Win percentage again...  

Everyone follow?
