Pimike's 2010 baseball thread!

THE PROFIT · 04-23-10, 03:13 PM

Mike, no disrespect to you, but don't worry about the haters. Everyone is gonna have them! The ones that want to follow your plays will, myself included in that group. And the others will hate & bash. Don't worry about them, it's simple! Fuk 'em

hollywoodmanny · 04-23-10, 03:13 PM

A combined era of starting pichers...0.79 also!

I like it. I can see a 1-0 game. It'll be a race for the 1st run.

MarkTX · 04-23-10, 03:35 PM

I'd love to keep getting your plays Mike!

youngerthree · 04-23-10, 03:43 PM

Appreciate all the picks Mike!

swampster · 04-23-10, 03:51 PM

Appreciate your picks and would like to be on your email list.

Other posters: Great call/we'll get 'em next time/etc."

Repeat.

Dreams are great, aren't they? But why should life at SBR be any different than real life? It's a shame, but it's true.

Good luck guys.

i want to say something here and this is too bad if noone likes it or not ....i am not nor ever have bashed your thread i only posted your picks that one day when everybody was cryin for them .I cap my own plays so i dont need to follow anyone but i will read certain threads to see what i can gather from other posters who are good and i respect you pimike but all this stuff about i wont post if you guys dont do this and that is all a bunch of drama that should have no bearing what you do regarding posting picks , you either want to help people out or not but all the drama is caused by yourself imo

either way this is a public forum and you are not going to keep the haters out you should take that as a compliment ... gl sir

venture · 04-23-10, 04:11 PM

It's been great following your picks this year. I don't understand how people can get upset with 2 losing days after a 2 week win streak, and a couple of the days you went 5 of 6, amazing!!! Hope to get your plays one way or another, I've gotten one email from you but i know I'm not on the "I could easily just stick with my few small group buddies and away we go." list. I would really appreciate your picks and would still send you sbr points for your picks even if i got them via email, also if you need any help with back testing just let me know

serc · 04-23-10, 04:16 PM

I agree with you MVP. We appreciate his picks but it is not like he is the only good capper here. Good luck Pimike and honestly I do not mind not being on Pimike's e-mail list.

Pimike... Allow me to make a suggestion. This same kind of chatter and attacks were happening on Tennis Babe's thread when she was getting hot. Per the advice of one of the moderators she started listing her picks on a daily thread. "Tennis Babe's Friday Picks", etc. This seems to have eliminated most of the stuff that's understandably irritating you. It also eliminated people jamming the thread asking if and when the latest picks were going to be posted. If they saw a new daily thread they knew the latest picks were ready. If they didn't, they knew the picks weren't ready, and they had no thread upon which to keep asking when the picks were coming up. It also seems to have eliminated or cut way down on the people ragging on her. Most all of the people posting now are ones who want and respect her picks.

Anyway, it's a thought. I've enjoyed following your plays and have made coin on many of them. I'll respect whatever your decision might be and wish you all the best.

Losses are expected and is a part of the gambling scene, there'll always be ups and downs but regardless of what happens, I just wanted to say thanks pimike for everything so far! Really appreciate the picks, BOL.

Naz18 · 04-23-10, 04:43 PM

I like the idea from dume walker, a daily thread seems great, you can just post your picks and not worry about anything.

And this^^^^^^^

There's no possible way to keep a small percentage of folks from negativity. The ONLY WAY is to simply ignore them. In fact, no good capper on here goes without it. It's just a part of the territory. I've always been appreciative for your plays, but I can tell you you're gonna catch a lot more grief if you waiver back n forth.

The majority on here see it as "here's the booty, here it's not, here's the booty, here it's not." Losses will happen and ppl will bitch, but holding the "booty" over everybody is just gonna make for some hard up Jimmy's... FWIW.

I respect your decision either way (post or not), but that's how ppl feel IMO.

trevlyn1983 · 04-23-10, 04:51 PM

GL with your plays Today Pimike

Downtown Brown · 04-23-10, 05:11 PM

Looks like Downtown Brown has to use his own picks tonight. Adios bankroll.

bozeman · 04-23-10, 05:15 PM

People, I wonder what are you lead by??? Pimike is the best all-time capper here and he doesn't charge anything. What's your problem? If you have questions about it PM me, but don't trash this thread or open another one, at least everyone, including mike will ignore it. "A PRO HATER" thread or smth you can start. NOONE WILL STAND IN A LINE BEGGING FOR PLAYS A PERSON, WHO ISN'T TTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
THE ONLY GUESS OF MINE IS YOU GUYS MIGHT BE BOOKIE AGENTS WHO I BET ARE QUITE DISAPPOINTED TO LOSE IN A LONG RUN FROM SEASON TO SEASON. wHY DON'T YOU HIRE MIKE AS AN ODDS MAKER THEN???.
the thread will grow to 1000 pages by the end of the season, let's keep it clean, does anyone still wanna argue?

bozeman · 04-23-10, 05:22 PM

the previous message is to haters only. IF YOU ARE A HATER PLEASE READ AND PM ME, I AM CURIOUS ABOUT YOU GUYS. I HAVEN'T MET A LOT LIKE YOU GUYS IN LIFE. let's keep this a baseball picks thread, no hating thread, bring it on

I hope those who are waiting aren't holding their breaths. Didn't he say he might have plays? He didn't say he definitely had system plays today. He even said yesterday that it didn't look like he'd have plays for this weekend. Maybe we should just go outside and enjoy the weekene instead of all being degenerate gamblers

Jive · 04-23-10, 05:48 PM

Nothing wrong with being a "sheep" in gambling if you are following a winner. Often times, the difference between people who live in mansions and people who live in a run-of-the-mill house is that the mansion dwellers have enough sense to know that there people out there who can do some things better than they can, and they have the wisdom to make use of other people's knowledge.

Personally, I am perfectly fine in football and basketball doing my own thing, but I know without a doubt that my bankroll will be significantly bigger at the end of the year if I bet Mike's (and select other's) baseball plays than if I come up with my own. There is no virtue in a smaller bankroll and no pride to be had in winning small alone when you can win large with the help of someone else. Not to mention it takes a lot less time to tail someone who knows what they are doing than to crunch your own numbers, which enables me to make even more money in the real world.

Laugh, ridicule, mock, who cares. I'll be smiling all the way to the bank.

sweetjones55 · 04-23-10, 05:49 PM
