    Who to Follow... Who to Fade

    I wanted to start a thread that everyone could chime in and list who's advice they take into consideration when making their picks and who you just check their thread hoping you don't have the same picks. Before you list make sure you follow these rules...

    NEVER FOLLOW THESE GUYS
    1. Guy with Favorite Team in Nickname - Sorry UCSB Slug Fan, Badger Backer, Gator Guy, or Golden Gopher Gambler. I have a hard time believing "this" guy can be an objective capper.
    2. Guy with any drug refrence in avatar or name - Really? Cannabis Capper? High Handicapper? I should be taking your advice on College Football? However I will listen when you list your favorite in-game munchies (I hope that thread is coming soon)
    3. ALL CAPS GUY - WHY ARE YOU YELLING ABOUT YOUR PICKS? WHEN YOU LEARN TO MASTER THE CAPS LOCK FUNCTION ON YOUR LAPTOP I WILL PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR THREAD. UNTIL THEN... I'm gonna need you to keep it down.
    4. Guarantee Guy - Guarantee guy (aka Lock of the lifetime guy) always makes my fade list. Why wouldn't you guarantee a result in a game that YOUR NOT PLAYING IN?
    5. Captain Cliche - This guy will attempt to fool you with terms like "This smells like a trap game" or "I see this as a let down game" then thrown in great forum words like sharps, squares, and chalk. No helpful stats or info supporting his arguement... just cool words.
    6. System Guy - Everytime I hear someone talk about their system I think about when Bart asked Homer about his system and he whispered to him "I dont tell your mother how much $$$ I lose".
    7. Hot Chick Avatar Guy - I like this guy... never wins but I really do like this guy.
    8. Guy who makes list making fun of 90% of the forum - He gets a pass.

    If have have missed offending any particular group of people, I apologize. Feel free to make this list complete.
    But in all seriousness.
    Guy I Follow: I did really well last year following Harry N. Lloyd's Total Package. If you get a chance check out his thread. This year he hasn't been quite as hot as last, but he knows his totals. Also Raplhie's thread... he had a good year last year.
    Guy I Fade: The Rubberband pick guy. Sorry... Not trying to be a jerk. I've just never seen this guy hit.

    GL To all. Hope you enjoyed and make some $$$ this week!!!

    so what you are saying is I shouldnt take "THE PROFITS" advice because he has the handle "THE PROFIT" and he appears to be a Vols fan? Well damn it, I can't take my own advice cause Im clearly a Gator! How in the hell am I supposed to make money now???? hahahaha

    Great post, wish I could add to it but you have already stated everything I would have said.

    Absolutely that's what I'm saying . I'm a G8R too & we can't be caught fraternizing w/ Tennesee fans. But I think I met at least 3 of my "don't follow these guys" criteria too so..... Glad you like's it. Thx for the points.

    Add the guys that can't spell or complete a damn sentence to save their life. Also anyone who uses "loose" instead of lose you can't trust.

    Perhaps if everybody posted their record, and to make sure its legit a spreadsheet. Thats what we all should do next season force all to post their spreadsheet if they are going to post weekly picks.

    Hey Thanks for everyone who read this post and it even got nominated. I'd be real excited except I really don't know what that is
    Please continue to list people you DO follow as I'd like to see what list of quality cappers we come up with.

    This "guy" actually qualifies under our number 10 who not to follow
    10. the "Wants to bet all of you" guy. This guy offers 1,000,000,000 imaginary points with a healthy reserve of Schrute Bucks and Stanley Nickles to anyone wanting to bet against him on the forum. Between 100's of sports books online, local bookies, weekend in vegas, or some friendly bets w/ his buddies he still has to BET THE HOUSE and bet it against ALL OF YOU!!! This guy is an angry gambler and when he does move out of his moms basement we'll all be sorry. But until then... stay angry my friend!!!
