HOWEVER - why does sammy have to be relied on to win or lose money for someone? why is he responsible for saying he played a game for 40 gs but really only played it for $40, or not at all ? he doesnt force or require the readers of his threads to follow his bets. he just gives his pick. he doesnt hold a gun to someone's head and demand they tail his picks, he doesnt have to charge anyone when he hits and doesnt have to pay off anyone else besides his book when he loses. all sammy does is post a play, with an admittedly absurd amount attached to it, and thats it. its not his problem if someone takes his great or shitty advice on a daily basis. we all come to this site to either post our own plays and capping advice or to take someone else's plays and capping advice. ultimately, the choice is yours as to whether or not you wanna pay to play. to me the scenario looks like such: a bettor comes to the site looking for a play, sees that someone named Sammy11 with a HUGE colorful font is posting plays for 60 g's. he seems like a child/retard with his crazy colors and giant unit amounts and so you instantaneously auto-fade him, thinking he cant possibly know shit about sports. then he hits, you lose, and all you can do to save face about talking shit BEFORE the play is come to the site and post about his fake unit amounts AFTER the play, instead of giving him props for a good pick. i dont want to get into an argument with anyone. im not backing sammy's crazy unit amounts nor am i choosing a side. i just think its silly to hate on someone because you auto faded his plays based on his absurd unit amounts and lost. give a little credit where credit is due and leave the guy's thread if you dont agree.
