You got everything right but that line.

I think it is fair to say no other sports betting poster is as famous across all forums.

If you find jj's shtick entertaining then enjoy it. But experienced posters/players know to take it with a grain of salt. Don't back his "information" with real money. I actually think jj would agree with that advice.

The quantity is much more notable than the quality. I don't want to pick on the guy but I hate to think of a newbie coming along and getting the wrong idea.

So some people are banned from SBR. I dont want to ban JJ, but I really dont appreciate people that comes with this "inside information" thing and maybe fools new members of SBR that is not aware of this.

Thanks Mudcat for sharing.

In all honesty, that might not be the best career path to follow.

He and his ghosts have expertise at nothing whatsoever except internet posting. It’s all a put-on. Like professional wrestling a few people (mostly newbies) actually buy it, some people know it’s a put-on and find it highly entertaining on that level, and some people hate it.

The incredible quantity of his posts, I assume, is great for the wallets of site owners, hence they’re very reluctant to ban him. But substantively he’s an absolute cancer to any forum. To say his antics dumb down a forum is a gross understatement.

I’ve long since blocked his idiot posts, but that does no good for newbies who might read his stuff and have no idea it’s all a juvenile prank.

**jjgold** · 08-20-06, 05:12 PM

Gambler you are correct. I have very accurate info on books and line services. I expose scammers and bad forum owners also. Everyone should follow me. I am in a way like Chucky Simms. I exposed the Don best Office 3 years ago in that they were holding up lines on the service and betting. A guy called Rick who use to run is was the biggest fraud on the planet. He was a big bettor and made a lot of money sending fake injury info and holding back lines on the service.

Book wise my ratings are better than any and my track record show. My line service ratings are also the best in the world.

Stay away from frauds like The Major and the ghostown he runs. Stay away from stiffs like the Shrink also. They both took money from BOS and mislead many posters in saying the place was safe. They are both pieces of shit scum that stole tons of money from players .

Gambler follow me

**tacomax** · 08-20-06, 05:19 PM

You're not a fan of jjgold then, TLD?

**jjgold** · 08-20-06, 05:22 PM

Taxy my predictions and opinions are very accurate, of course at times I make a wrong predictions.

Funny thing though when I do make them and some people laugh they look bad and say Gold was right. Some forum owners do not want me posting there because I expose them and make them look like idiots and frauds that they are.

**SBR_John** · 08-20-06, 06:05 PM

JJ has some classic stories of gambling and the people in it.

Classic enough to mislead new members..? Or?

**tacomax** · 08-20-06, 07:45 PM

I don't know, the one about the old guy in the basement was pretty good.

Come on, guys. Many of you are acting as if the JJ stands for Jim Jones ( http://www.religioustolerance.org/dc_jones.htm ). Who cares if some naive newbie comes on here and reads one of his posts and accepts it as gospel? That's just idiocy.

**stuckinvegas** · 08-20-06, 10:39 PM

Where in Newark are you supposedly from? I've lived there half my life! I'm from the Weequahic area.

**natrass** · 08-21-06, 12:32 AM

Give me a break with all this "but what if a newbie sees jjGold's recommend something ...". Well, its the very same logic that means i cant cross a street for 16 miles either side of a school because there are 15 miles of safety barriers, that means packets of peanuts have warnings saying "may contain nuts" ... let Darwin run its course.

jjGold is a funny man and knows his onions. If he doesnt say what you want him to say then that is ultimately your own problem, dont give us the "what about a stray newbie reading this ..." nonsense.

I think some people are going to have to accept that there are some other people out in the real world who are not the same as them personality wise.

I think the only danger to newbies is if they read this thread they might think they have stumbled accross a bunch of old ladies gossiping in a hairdressers instead of grown men in a gambling forum.

A blue rinse for you again this week, natrass?

**natrass** · 08-21-06, 03:32 AM

If I had the hair taco I would love a blue rinse!!

See the avatars still there ... hmmm ... so it wasnt just a passing crush you had on this boy??

**kdmfox** · 08-21-06, 04:34 AM

Interesting thread ... Or maybe it's just too early in the morning.

Appearently you are not one of them. Part of being a RESPECTED man, you have to understand that there are people other than you, and you have to show respect for that fact.You say yourself people are different, then we also have to respect that. I worked in the industry and I can honestly say you live of those "newbies" betting everything they read, especially when you get words like "inside information". So before you critisize others, look at yourself..your moral is zero

Even if you are a funny man (JJGOLD), you dont have to waste peoples money with nonsense about sure bets etc.

**jjgold** · 08-21-06, 04:27 PM

Never say any game is a lock, I am too smart. When I post inside info I say bet at your own risk

The morons are guys that follow other posters picks.

I agree that every poster is responsible for their own bets, at the end of the day its their decision.

But to call them morons is low..I think you agree that you post picks because you want to share them, not keep them for yourself.

I mean if you are respected, you dont need to use big words like "inside info" etc. Even though I knew alot of Soccer players and stuff going on, I prefer to use more realistic comments. I did not see you write BET AT YOUR OWN RISK in the cincinatti game, thats why I react actually. If you keep posting bet at your own risk, there is really no problem.

**diamond** · 08-21-06, 05:24 PM

And out of curiosity, what was the inside info on that Cincy game. The pitcher who returned only for his 2nd game in years was quite honestly shit

**Bulldog** · 08-21-06, 05:55 PM

I can hardy call myself a newbie here... anymore
But it is kind of weird the "admiration" that some posters have for this JJ Coach character...
No disrespect to him at all but everytime Ive checked out his plays he's been on the wrong side...
On a seperate note I think we're really running out of interesting topics it this is the days most popular thread.

**jjgold** · 08-21-06, 07:29 PM

I hit like 43% of my plays, I am horrible but not afraid to say my record or post picks. I might be one of the few that admit I lose my bikinni underwear every year. It is why I am Kingmaker.

Look up the defintion of a Kingmaker

Good Luck Diamond Man and fade my plays and you will do well

**HAPPY BOY** · 08-21-06, 07:50 PM

I thought jj was odd at first along with raiders, but gotta admit after a while he grew on me and was sad when he said good bye. I think Sbr is better with him. He keeps you guessing whats BS and whats real. And as far as newbies getting burned hey do your homework not one mans opinion is gospel. I think once the newbie has a couple weeks under his belt he'll figure it out. Hopefulley he didn't shoot his load b-4 he does figure it out

**jjgold** · 08-21-06, 07:58 PM

I actually post more sports and gambling stuff here than any other forum. I came back here because it is the forum of the future and this place always has gambling/sports threads as oppossed to majorwager (ghostown) and eog which are more clown acts and they supported some very bad and defunct books just for ad money.

**TheGambler** · 08-21-06, 08:06 PM

Wow! I did not mean to cause such a discussion when I posted this thread. The majority of these threads are arguing about whether a newbie should follow JJ's picks or not. I really had no intention of it going down that path. Even as a newbie, I know for sure that there are no "sure things" even if there is inside information. I wasn't posting this to analyze JJ's picks, I just thought it was interesting that he had worked for Sportsbooks before and now he is one of us. If there was time, I think it would be cool to know everyone's gambling history. unfortunately, that isn't going to happen. Sorry to cause such confusion, and yes, I will never jump on any game just b/c there is "inside info". Actually, I haven't played any of his picks yet. We're all in this for the same thing, to win money, and I think that's what we should focus on.

**SBR_John** · 08-21-06, 10:15 PM

When I have time I will find what I think is the funniest post in the history of posting forums. It was JJ Gold's official inspection and visit of the G&J Lines office in Las Vegas.

Another good one was when JJ Gold met a couple of poster tough guy wannabe's in the Stardust that broke out into a fist fight.

**bigboydan** · 08-21-06, 10:26 PM

JJ has definately has some classics floating out there. I like "the day in the life of JJ" the best. now thats a real classic!

I agree with this sentiment a lot. It would be really cool to get together with everyone find out their stories and compare notes. It's especially tough for us newer ones who don't know certain posters histories.

I likin it to jumping on certain bandwagons and not really knowing the history. For example, I could never really get into Jim Rome's radio show because I don't know what half the slangs and lingos and terms he's referring to mean so I feel left out because I wasn't there in the beginning to know what the heck he's talking about.

**TLD** · 08-22-06, 12:17 AM

TheGambler, please don’t misunderstand me. I wasn’t making a point about just his “picks” and whether they’re worth following. What I’m saying is the whole “JJGold” posting persona is a ruse. He isn’t someone who has worked in sportsbooks, had a colorful and successful history as a sportsbettor, and so on. He’s a fictional creation of a guy who spends all day on his computer posting at countless forums like this (not just about sportsbetting) under that handle or various ghosts. Lord knows how many hundreds of thousands of posts he’s made, on how many scores of websites.

There’s no “inside information” or anything of the kind behind his posts. He’s just spouting nonsense at random to see if anyone falls for it. So he’ll, say, pick a sportsbook at random, and flip a coin to decide whether to praise or bash them, and then just make something up to post as a provocation. Same with a sport, an athlete, a website, etc. There’s no substance. It’s literally all a put on. This is how he jacks off.

Once people have been around awhile they generally pick up on the fact that it’s a big joke. Some of those people then enjoy being in on the hoax so to speak, and are quite tickled watching newcomers fall for it and treat this fictional creation as if he’s a real industry “insider.”

Others would prefer a forum where when people purport to be sharing information and opinions about sportsbooks, handicapping techniques, sports picks, etc., it be a genuine and sincere effort to help each other and build a little online community based on a shared interest, not some childish charade..

Whether it’s some player lying about his experiences at a sportsbook to help his cause in a dispute he’s having with them, or some paid shill like Raiders lying on behalf of a crooked book, or this idiot and his elaborate fantasy world, bullshit is bullshit and it’s poison to a forum.

**pags11** · 08-22-06, 02:55 AM

just don't ask him about the time he had to either suck some guy off or get done by him when he was low on cash...I try to forget that story he told last year...

**Foolosophy** · 08-22-06, 05:20 AM

I haven't been around long enough to judge the guy, but in my opinion he seems rather harmless....a great storyteller if anything. One thing is dead sure.....he's enjoying this thread. Personally I find that the only danger here for a newbie is that nobody is telling about their huge losses - only numerous posts about players withdrawing thousands of dollars. That could easily lead a newbie to think, that gambling is an easy way to get rich and without risk. But that's just me.
