which posters do you tail?

freeVICK · 02-09-10, 04:03 PM

gotta add that I also follow strictlywinners, tbone and of course lakerboy

i suggest not "tailing" anybody necessarily. Form your own opinions then see if they jive with opinions of others you respect. If they do, play it, if they don't, decide wether or not to play your gut or someone else's.

If you were to blindly tail folks, that's some mighty fine fellas listed above.... I respect their opinions, Houli's, Suicideking, Mr.Logan, Dexter, Durrrr seems to be made of the right stuff, etc etc... there are quite a few awesome posters on this forum. The trick is disregarding the "squares" opinions sometimes and realizing that "locks" are anything but.

In the end, the only way you will be able to sleep at night - atleast for me anyway, is if you play YOUR plays, don't go against your own strong feelings and realize tomorrow is another day if you loose.

Wilforth's NBA picks are respectable.

freeVICK · 02-09-10, 04:14 PM

forget it. i absolutely suck at picking games. honestly if were to bet on my own I would probably hit like 40% no joke. plus I don't have the time to caps games. honestly I don't see anythig wrong with tailing blindly as long as you know who to tail

cashil · 02-09-10, 04:16 PM

pittviper is good. lb and mex of course. also the 70% thread has been right on lately

Yea pittviper is on a good run but he's not proven in my eyes. his 20 or 30 plays are hardly enough of a sample size. guys like lakerboy and Mex are proven.

as for that 70% thread... I gave up on that. there seems to be a debate about a play being a go or no go everynight

I'm probably older than your dad, and I'm a teamster brewer, me stealing beer is way off, I get it for free. But I understand it is hard for you retards to forecast anything correctly, keep trying, maybe someday....

don bets one nba game when he posts usually, and that one bet is one I wouldn't go against 99 outta 100 times.
Plus we get dancing girls when he hits...

great info, I guess I gotta start looking out for his plays. glad I started this thread

always nice to find those sleeper posters

williams22 · 02-09-10, 05:33 PM

Monitoring the top of the NBA Best Bets threads is a good way to do it. Durrrr doesn't do the best bets thread, but he's definitely one to watch.

I was nothing but respectful until yesterday when I was called a MORON in caps by some clown. I responded to that clown only to find my response to that clown quoted by another clown today, because they were the lucky side of a bad bet. I have no worries losing a small play, or even a big play, but if I'm gonna be disrespected, I will disrespect in return. Not "smack talking", now you get my honest opinion, I do think Wilforth is a retard, so is Tomato, so is any who bet on Tennessee tonight, deal with it or ignore it, retard.

Q, you know I got mad respect for you, but we are all grown-ups here. We can't play "I hate you because you are my enemy's friend" here, leave that to the 8 year olds. You are a better person than that...

And for all the others here, can we stop bickering for once? We are all here to make money, not E-enemies...

Lets get this straight... someone calls you a moron, so that makes everyone a moron or a clown or retarded, check. Someone disagrees with you, they are retarded, or a moron, or a clown, check. If someone is "lucky" they are a square, a moron, a retard or a clown, check.
As far as you and your all knowing capacity goes, Wilforth, Tomato and I are retarded, check.

You are right, we are wrong, or retards, or squares, or morons, or clowns - check.

Your presence here is going to be nothing but trouble is it? But if everyone agrees with you, even on loosing plays everything will be alright huh?

It is what it is man, a internet forum.

Have fun, not at others expense, and you'll be just fine.

No, retarded because of what I've read of their words. Points are retarded, that's you. Wilforth thinks he has some magical math system. Tomato blindly fades other bettors....

I didn't like being called a MORON, I assume others don't like being called a retard, just returning the favor. I will get bored or booted soon, could care less, this is not why I came here...

then why?? doesn't seem like yer spreading much of anything cept shit around. your opinion is just that, and you are entitled to it.
I dont imagine being called a moron by anyone is nice, but it is what it is.... its no reason to turn on an entire community and start flamming everyone. we are here for a reason, just like you....
I think you come off kinda harsh, thats my opinion. If you wanna carry on acting the way you have been and saying the first thing that comes to your head, sobeit.

Enjoy the site!

Sorry to have de-railed your thread there bud... wasnt my intention

freeVICK · 02-10-10, 01:59 AM

lot of "good" cappers to choose from

MR. GOODBET · 02-10-10, 02:03 AM

You can add me to that list. Seriously. Check my handiwork in my Jazz -4.5 thread.

See, if you want to be a pro capper, you have to beat the closing line. That's what separates winners from the losers. My advice generally isn't "free" but I'll give it away here because at least OP was honest enough to ask.

Here's another tidbit: bet Suns -8 before line goes up. Don't get caught chasing.

Durrrr · 02-10-10, 04:38 AM

I suggest coming up with your own plays, then using the good cappers as guidelines to decide wether to play the game or not. As a basic guide, you don't often want to be on the opposite side of Lakerboys play(s) for example. And if you faded me... Well you'd be under 30% right now. Not to be shamelessly prompting myself but check out my thread as a guide if you want, you may think 65% plus in a season is impossible, but it's not. I've been hiting it for around four years now (my 5th now).
