    Because they are different handicappers, thus the possibility of them having differing opinions is present.

    They have some good picks at times;plus if people pay for these picks, I don't think each person is going to give away the best ones.

    So Bradley, if someone comes in here and picks the Cardinals tonight, are you suggesting that we not allow anyone else to come in and post their play on the Astros?

    your totally off line willie.the front page is like the FEATURE PICKS......IT MAKES THE FRONT PAGE LOOK UGLY WHEN ITS DOING NOTHING BUT TRYING TO CONFUSE EVERYONE.WELL THIS GUY HAS THE TIGERS WHILE THE GUY NEXT TO HIM HAS THE ROYALS.HMMMMMMMMM.NOW IM CONFUSED AS TO WHO TO BELIEVE.THATS ALL IM SAYING ABOUT AN AMATUER BETTOR AND NEWBIES.IT LOOKS LIKE TRASH,BOTTOM LINE.IN THE FORUM ITS DIFFRENT,WE CAN ALL TALK ABOUT REASONS AND HELP EACH OTHER OUT.I DONT THINK ITS VERY PROFESSIONAL OF THE SITE TO ALLOW THAT,BECAUSE LIKE BATEMAN SAID,ITS NOT THERE PREMIUM PICKS,SO WHY CANT THEY PICK DIFFRENT PLAYS WITH THE 100+ LINES TODAY????THEY PICK THE SAME GAME THATS NOT A PREMIUM PICK WHEN THERE IS TONSSS OF OTHER GAMES.MY OPINION AND ITS A GOOD ONE.VERY MISLEADING TO NEW CAPPERS

    Kinda agree with Bradley that it makes the frontpage look a bit odd when we have not one, but TWO opposing picks right there in front of us. The other one was LSU and Miss State, though the point spreads are a tad different...I think they should try to stray from posting opposite picks on the front page. In the end, not a huge deal though... I don't really give those picks much credit anyhow.

    Sorry if having opposing views causes you such great confusion, Bradley. So what you're saying is that when I come across plays by two different cappers who take opposite sides on a game, I should either just pick one or perhaps just not post either?

    I guess that confuses me since I'm not sure how having opposite views makes the page look 'ugly,' but I will respect your opinion on that. In fact, the way I look at that front page is it's just a bunch of opinions about upcoming games, nothing more and nothing less. Sorry that they have caused you to be upset and confused today.

    I don't think it matters much since the majority of them are loser plays.
    And a good amount of time they all lose nightly so if anyone is foolish enough to listen to these people they deserve to lose. How many nights have you seen every pick lose? A lot more than you will see them all win, that is certain.

    which brings me back to the book

    Your guess is as good as mine

    Again I ask, Bradley, your advice is for me to:

    a) Pick one side when this happens and just post that angle, or;

    b) not post either side?

    bradley,

    I am not quite sure what you are upset about. We are all independent thinkers, so of course there will be times when we are on opposite side of games. Shoot, an underdog player like me is on the opposite side of a lot of guys on most plays.

    It is not as if we lock ourselves in a room, share our plays and take a consensus. We like what we like, and as long as the writeups are good,there is nothing wrong with opposing viewpoints. In fact, the writeups are sometimes MORE important than the picks themselves, because they could put you on the lookout for similar situations in the future.

    Love the one on Lsu Miss St.

    Lsu may not cover but how anyone could pick State in that game is just trying to get lucky.

    LSU 7 straight wins by average score +30
    Highest ranked to start year
    State picked bottom again.

    crappy offense losing 6 starters vs #3 Defense from last year losing 2 starters.

    Yea 18 points looks good.

    i would say A willie.i understand where your coming from,but you are not understanding what im trying to say.its just a jackass move when WE ARE ON THE BOARDS TO "HELP" ONE ANOTHER,NOT PICK AGAINST EACH OTHER..........AND THATS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING.........REPRESENTS THE SBRFORUM IN A BAD WAY.LIKE I SAID,THIS IS MY VIEW POINT AND I MAKE A TON OF MONEY EACH MONTH AND I DONT LIKE SEEING GUYS ON THE SAME BOARD GO AGAINST ONE ANOTHER.

    Ok, Bradley. I understand what you are saying, don't agree with it, but understand it. I know a lot of the posters in here don't like the front page at all to begin with, and that's fine, to each their own and all that rot.

    I really don't have an opinion on the picks, but I do thank Willie for taking time every day to post them.

    LSU will be the best defense this year.

    I look at it like this. Cappers can go on a limb and take the big dogs in any sport. If the big dog wins outright say on ML sports (mlb nhl)they look like they know what they are talking about and in the same token if the team loses what do you want from a +300 dog.

    In the end it is just some guys swindling money from suckers

    Reading handicapper takes would only elevate the mind as a whole , the more you study the more you grow , if it confuses to read 2 angles , or 3 or 4 on one game then you dont really understand what it is to be a sports handicapper . The more info you read the more you learn the more adept to how this business works you become . Is a growing process just like anything else , the more you put into it the better you become and the more confident you feel about what you are doing . Anyone can pick 2 nice favs and post they are parlaying them for 500$ and look like they are sure enough , you cant be lazy in this business if you are just like any other business it will go under . More you read/study the better you will be in the big picture of it all . ty

    I used a service one time in my life. 1986 football season, guy is giving me all the reasons why this team was a lock. The game was between Dallas and Denver big marquee matchup. After listening to his long sales pitch I asked him a big question. Now that the teams QB is not playing which came out an hour earlier he had no response. He did not even have that info. Most services are nothing but sales pitches. Read the write up on guy picking Miss. St. says they have a shot at bowl game this year. Wow won 3 games each of last 3 years in toughest conference and a BOWL GAME LOL

    You may have been a capper so you know their crap is BS
    Known many people that have subscribed to services and never once a winning season.
