Welcome to the forum and thanks for contributing! Always nice to start a thread and the season with some nice profits!
You'll find for the most part this place is pretty awesome -- bunch of like-minded individuals trying to work together to help each other win a little money from the bookies. Of course there are some negative a-holes and trolls (just like everywhere else), and they can get a little frustrating at times, especially those that try to kick you when you happen to be having a bad day and losing some money! All I can say is best to ignore all the bull and keep doing what you do, as there are very many others who greatly appreciate what you are doing here!
Also, just wanted to make a small comment about your record-keeping before someone else tries to be a dick about it - be sure to include the juice in your losses so it's more accurate. I'm assuming all your wagers are 'to win 'X' amount,' meaning a loss would include said juice (i.e. if standard -110 lines then you'd actually lose
-$550 on your $500 wagers) - unless your wagers are the actual risk amounts (in which case actual winnings will be slightly less after juice, $500 wins $454.54). Not that big a deal at all (especially if you're grinding out nothing but winning picks), but I know some stupid hater will eventually make a comment about it and how you're trying to fudge your record, yadda yadda. Just giving a heads up so you can keep accurate records and won't have to deal with that later!
Anyway, thanks again buddy, and very much looking forward to future discussions and picks as we all work together to make this our most profitable season yet!
