You think we are here to gather 100 emails in the dark and hopefully 1 or 2 purchase a package? Wow you guys lack business sense beyond something coachable. I don't care if 1 person on sbr except a handful that I communicate with that have a clue come stop by. You guys act like 10 emails that who we already are in contact with is our business model? I wish everyone the best, there is no reason to make your blood boil over trolls I'm too old for that
I'm not gonna get in an argument or lure people by asking for emails. I enjoy the friends I have met but it's not worth getting into an adolescent argument. Not worth my time.

Shoe, you know I respect your capping abilities. You are outstanding at what you do. With that being said, I find it strange that you and TA have been cryptically referring to your picks lately, dropping in every now and again talking about all the winning you're doing behind closed doors. Now I find out both of you are selling picks? That's just disappointing to hear. I wish both of you the best and admit I don't know a lot about the situation, but it's unfortunate that it's come to this. I don't personally like the fact that you two are doing this secret handshake publicly after games in a public forum, but whatever. Maybe I'm just reading it wrong -- I don't know. Seems pretty shady on the surface, though.You think we are here to gather 100 emails in the dark and hopefully 1 or 2 purchase a package? Wow you guys lack business sense beyond something coachable.

If that is truly the case, you would ignore them and continue to post your picks without caring. Instead, you took your ball and went home. So the trolls -- most likely plants from other touts -- won, and now you've joined the dark side?Comment -
I dont get why people get so bent out of shape for people going tout. Who gives a ****. Make your own picks and let those losers try and do this for a living."This is why my basketball intelligence is unmatched on this site. I'm sure there are better cappers but no one can tell you the strategies of most coaches before the game even starts "

Sorry you feel that way coins we lost on Sunday 4-5 negative 5 units. So yea a person that is selling picks went negative. OMG what a bunch of losers right? It's all long term coins and a few degenz here that are paying the man every week is not our clients. No bs this came up when we got sick an tired of putting up with the kiddies or the trolls that only stop by when you get hammered. Yet, when your on a heater they can't wait to say hahah you lost. Unlike 99% of the board we actually bet with real $. Could care less about points or become an Internet icon.Comment -
I have a hard time buying this shoe. Again, who gives a fvck? Ignore them. Their purpose was to drive you away, and they succeeded. You're OK with that? Why do you guys care what some anonymous trolls say on an Internet message board? You act like you're surprised by this happening. When I post a pick -- and granted, I'm not in the same galaxy as you or TA on this board -- and people get pissed, I couldn't care less. When they PM me asking why I fvcked them over, I couldn't care less. Haters have no effect on my life whatsoever.
The only way you get them to go away is by ignoring them -- not letting them drag you down to their level.Comment -
Edit - just read shoe's post.
At the end of the day, it has no bearing on my life as I was a follower of neither TA nor shoe's picks although I did like their insight so all I can do is genuinely wish them the best.

I'm so sick and tired of this sense of entitlement on these boards. Yes, I understand the mentality of "let's try and all beat the books" but come on. The good handicappers that give out picks for free don't have to do it. A lot of people on these threads (not specifically this one) act like posters owe them their picks for free. Nobody that posts here is a man of the people. When it all comes down to it everyone is in it for themselves. Everybody acts like going tout is the devil's work. The guys that give winning picks are providing us with a service, and is it wrong for them to get paid for it? You would pay your financial advisor without asking, but as soon as someone here tries to sell picks they're garbage.
My only question regarding this whole thing is about the emails that TA said he used to get. I'm wondering if he thinks that the nasty emails aren't going to be there when he hits a rough patch. I'd wager that there are going to be more of them now that people have to start paying for the picks.Comment -
The difference? You and TA added value and quality to this board. 95% of us -- at least -- appreciated what you guys did. It's too bad you let the other 5% get to you. I thought you guys had thicker skin than that, especially considering how much $$$$ you invest in this game.Comment -
at least we still have the top three in sbr Cappinpicks paco simp defComment -

This. Again, it's the high-fives to each other in retrospect out of nowhere that become annoying after a while.
Unlike you, I did pay attention to both TA and shoe's picks. I never blindly tailed -- I don't do that with anyone -- but I respected their opinions, angles, etc. Now they're both gone, because of troll hate? I don't buy it.
That's why I appreciate paco and LB so much -- it's not as much about them picking winners, but they're educators for us green gamblers and they enjoy doing it without trying to be shady about luring people in to pay for their picks. I thought TA and shoe were in the same boat. Guess I was wrong.Comment -
I will never lure anyone I'm not that kind of guy. How is it shady when you have your record out in the clear all graded and accounted for? I'm still me just not posting picks no different I'm not going to lure anyone, not my style.Comment -
allright i just have one thing to say, don't scare off CAPPINPICKS too, he is top three here at sbr postin for free, so stop hatinComment -
Not true.
Post a pick. If it wins, great. If people tail, great. If it doesn't, sucks for you and sucks for those who chose to tail.
The whole point of this forum, at least I thought, was to try and beat the books and share ideas with each other. The only money involved was the money we are trying to win -- not pay for the service of another poster. Maybe I'm missing the point, but I see a lot of regulars who aren't in it for themselves -- they're here to help others see angles or reasons for picking winners that they see.Comment -
Please. I NEED TO BUY SEASON LONG NBA PICKS! WHAT'S THE PRICE?!?Comment -
didn't this TA guy go on a majorrrrr losing streak? bad time to turn tout.

Not bad open for business over a month ago before sbr found out and already have 30 paying members. Guess this venture is going to fail according to our SBR economics experts.

damn i'm startin to respect Cappinpicks, because he post his plays upfront, for free, win or lose he's always here to deal with it

No offense, shoe, but is someone holding a gun to your head and making you respond to these fools? If you stoop to their level, they're going to continue to drag you down and eventually out. They beat you. If you ignore them, you'd be surprised by how quickly they disappear.
Let your loyal followers take care of the trolls in your threads. I don't get what you're saying, unless your skin is truly that thin.Comment -
who cares, by the time you deciphered T.A.s gay little emoticon code the game started."This is why my basketball intelligence is unmatched on this site. I'm sure there are better cappers but no one can tell you the strategies of most coaches before the game even starts "
