    The Official LakerBoy Appreciation Thread

    Thanks for the insight and advice LB, sorry to see it end. I began to think I was a good NBA capper this season when in actuality you made about 75% or my plays for me. Keep up the great work man, as I am sure you will. I will try to do the same.

    OverUnder, How sorry are you to see it end? A little or a lot? When you write "about" 75% would you lean closer to 74 or 76%? How sure are you he will keep up the good work? Would you bet more than 1x on that? Please get back to me soon, I need to know five minutes ago.

    I was just breaking balls as it is part of what was annoying about the thread. Maybe you should have pointed your hate at those posters instead of me. I didn`t drive him away.

    I also wonder what happened to LB? Why did he stop? Can´t be that he had one less fortunate night. That can´t be it. I know that there were a couple of assholes on his thread writing some stupid and worthless things. But still. He has been so successfull and 99% of all members here on this forum loves him and are so greatful for his great picks. So can anybody please explain the real reason for why he now has stopped. Must be something really serious that happened to LB. Anybody has any information?

    Lakerboy I;ve only joined SBR for like a week and been following your picks very closely. Your amazing youve made me money that I didnt deserve if it wasnt for you. Im new in this betting thing, but I know that Im not a sore loser, I take a lost as a lost. I dont blame anyone because in the end we are the ones who chooses to follow or not. You've given us great picks with nothing in return. Im shocked to hear your leaving, but I hope you would definitely stay, but if not, best of luck to YOU!!! Your a champ!

    i'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but here it goes. i guess LB won't read this. he decided to take some time off, end please respect that. the guy is probably tired and don't want to be blamed of anything. i am almost sure he considered this option extensively for some time now and that last night only made him space for actually doing this. i understand his acts, probably would do it myself in his position. i checked his thread daily and not being the only one. now i'm just mad because no-one learned anything from it. LB gave us reasoning for most of his plays, and just by reading that (and not only following blindly) we could become better cappers ourselves. well now, who took the opportunity - gained.

    Lakerboy, take some time off, regain strength for coping with idiots and their questions and if you ever wish to come back writing your picks you'll be more than welcomed.

    Until that happen, hope to see your writings in soccer section - they have always been truly enjoyable refreshment there. best of luck in what ever you do or play and godspeed you champion

    Kobe... you have been following LB for quite some time now.. you havent learned a few things here and there? of course its good to see which way hes leaning but at the same time you should of learned enough to make your own picks now instead of following others

    It's making plays that make sense is how LB does it.

    Also it's varying bet size depending on certainty of the game. Guaranteed if you did a graph of the outcomes of plays depending on unit size you would see a steady upward slope. If you're very confident, increase the size of the play, if you aren't too sure then make it smaller or stay away.

    I made one play today and one play only. Raptors ML for 4 units. Yes I had to put 7.5 units down to make the play but I saw the Raps winning this game over 80% of the time therefore making it profitable.

    One of LB's key statements that I doubt many of you will remember came when he was describing his nightly timeline. It went something as follows:

    7:10 -- while all you guys sit down and crack open some beer, I'm still watching the line movements throughout the night.

    He's not making plays only to make the game more entertaining, he's making plays to make money.

    We all want to make money but many of the people here NEED to make plays..... question you can ask yourself is, "can I take a week away from nba capping for no reason other than the ability to do so?" Most of us on here would say, "that's stupid to do that, it's fun making plays and I make money doing it...."

    now, if everyone says "i make money doing it" then how do the books make their money? and saying "it's fun" means there's more reason than just investment purposes night to night.
