It's a useful tool. If you like a side and see him(?) calling it a lock cancel your bet and go the other way. It's similar to shorting a stock.

Just ignore them if you have to, read a couple, no need to read what everyone else says and you'll be fine.

Why cant you just ignore him. Maybe the question should be "who is tired of people making threads or posts to complain about paulys post"

SBR could fix this problem very easily. If you say a game is a lock and post a thread about it, if it loses, your account is suspended for 30 days.

It's interesting and disappointing at the same time. Had a great thread with his sharp side analysis education, then went all retard. One less guy to tail I guess.

I think he knows what he's doing he's trying to stiff people by giving the wrong picks purposely. Maybe he works for the bookies

I'm more tired of seeing 14 threads on the exact same game, all of which have around 13 replies.
Is what you have to say so unique and important you can't stick it in the existing thread?

Yeah Paulypoker used to be a somewhat normal poster. Then he went all lunatic on us. Guy must be going through some stuff.
I kind of hold a little bit of a grudge towards Paulypoker though and I know I shouldn't. Here is why I kind of don't like Pauly Poker not b/c of the lock threads but b/c of this..
Okay I was about to do a huge ML parlay $400 it was going to pay out $4,000 and I needed one more team to make the parlay equal 4,000 bucks i had 7 teams that I picked on my own and i just need 1 more. I happened to be reading a pauly poker thread and he gave a very convincing explanation on why we should all take Raiders -4 vs KC Chiefs. I decided to play it even safer and take Raiders ML.
Now this went against my better judgment b/c I can't stand Carson Palmer and I think he is one of the worst QB's in the game. But his explanation went on to say how the raiders defense and darren mcfadden would be enough. Now this is before I even had a user name so all i could do was read this forum, i couldn't respond or ask questions. But I took Raiders ML based on Pauly's analysis and 7 out of 8 teams won and they only 1 that lost was Pauly's pick and the Raiders lost 28-0.
So i kinda don't like Pauly b/c he indirectly cost me $4,000 bucks. But I know it's really my fault for being such a dumbass and listening to him. I definitely learned from that mistake. From now I will not force plays , if i don't feel strong about it I am not going to play it.
Hopefully Pauly will go back to being a normal poster and handicapping games without calling them locks. Obviously his picks aren't locks he lost on Philly -8 and toledo-12.

Just ignore it, or bet the opposite way. Bowling Green and Toledo were LOCKS last night, and the Eagles were a LOCK the night before...so much for that. Guess we'll see what happens tonight with the Temple LOCK. I'll be on the other side...again.

I don't pay him any attention. He is just another clown on a long list of them that I know to ignore. With that being said, I still drop in those threads, but it is just to see the side show and get a few laughs.

Pauley thinks that he knows more than he really does. He did well in the NHL last season, but his football picks were a disaster. Just ignore him. His bark is very loud, but he has no bite at all.

His lock posts are meant to be on the opposite side and make all the "lock" nazis angry while doing it.

i'm good
at keeping my mouth shut and just going on with the business at hand,
but i don't get this, he started out like he was serious about having something to share
and now when he loses he ensenuates it's on purpose and whether it is or isn't,
why bother i guess is what i'm getting at
