Does style win over substance at SBR?

[fearless]

IMHO, of course. Cappers who hit 50% or less get all the attention. Meanwhile, the guy's quietly and consistently win money are either ridiculed (curious) or ignored (too many to mention). It's unreal.

[wild willy]

Curious isen't treated right at all.

[Chi_archie]

most of the good cappers are quiet and stay on the sub forums

I think he brings it on himself a little but the guy's a winner. No doubt.

Then you get someone like cocknocker who hits 50% consistently and people follow his picks????

It's all style and little else.

Seriously...why do you love curious so much? He threatened to kill a fellow poster last night which is called murder in this country:

It's my impression that style wins out over substance in 95%-98% of the areas of life, not just on sports betting forums.

Threatening to kill someone is called murder. I hope you never serve on a jury, pavy. That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. It's almost as ridiculous as that parlay you tried the other day. And you called me retarded once? That's a badge of honor coming from you.

BTW, I respect curious' talent and ability. I don't have time to check the murder thing.

btw, there is no substance in making picks. some people just so happens got noticed on a hot streak.

[fearless]

If that were true then I would have had no chance to pull out the style prize on the last pick of your contest. Do you think I did that by pure luck?

[pico]

yep

Pavy sort of left out the part about all the horrific shit that the poster in question (tacomax) and his faggot boyfriends (pavy, et al) have done to me in the past two years to make me feel that way.

[fearless]

yep

You're totally wrong and there's several reasons why I chose that game and that situation for that play. You're 100% wrong. The reasons are a secret.

Well, I have been on a two year hot streak then.

Threatening to kill someone is not called murder, that's something a kindergartner might say. Ridiculous.

I had no idea that pico is so full of it.

how about this. you make a thread with 30 action points picks (either total or spread). each point has -110 odds. if you're winning after 30 picks, i admit i am wrong. you can take as long as you want.

Can I use totals?

[Matt Rain]

I voted "other". When a guy like jjgold is named Top Poster, it's safe to say that schizophrenia wins over both style and substance.

[Mudcat]

Style certainly dominates over substance at SBRforum by a wide margin. I personally wouldn't use the word "win."

People shoot themselves in the foot. It is amazing to me sometimes how little some people have absorbed about betting despite spending so much time 2 inches from knowledgeable people who are willing to help.

The fluff-dominated nature of the forum used to drive me nuts. I wanted a forum that looked smart and would attract smart people. I suppose it still does (drive me nuts) to some extent.

But I have grown much more accepting of it. The more general ignorance there is out there - the more bad ideas that are not shot down - the more time people are posing and playing games instead of learning how to bet effectively - the more losing that goes on and the better it is for the health of the industry.

fearless...

Now you see the nonsense I have to put up with every day. Idiots like Pico come into every thread I make and talk shit. All I'm trying to do is give out my picks.

totals or sides. just post it before the start of the game.

Since you don't have time to read...I will make you read it. The more you talk the better.

The mother ****ers I want to meet face to face will be too chicken shit to show up if they think I might be there. There's a bout a dozen punk ass shit talk mother ****ers on this site that I would love to meet face to face, so that I could kick the shit out of them.

If that tacomax mother ****er ever shows his face somewhere where I am at I'll kill that punk ass mother ****er.

Yeah, you are a real tough guy, aren't you faggot. **** with me in person and see what happens to you mother ****er.

Lot of ****ing good that will do.

All you mother ****ers do is talk shit. I'm not afraid of any of you punk ass mother ****ers.

Oh, you mean you have his back in a Brokeback Mountmen kind of way. LIke you are coming in from the back. I get it now. My bad.

Really punk? You won't touch me unless you want a trip to the ****ing hospital.

You are a real big man, talking shit about how you would harass a cripple. I wouldn't piss on any of you mother ****ers to put you out if you were on fire.

Goddam punk ass faggots. Always talking shit. But if you had to stand toe to toe with someone every one of you mother ****ing faggots would piss yourselves.

I've still got the $50 you sent me. I'll bet you double or nothing. If I win, you send me another $50, if you lose, you get your money back.

For 30 picks I want a month. I'm not an everyday bettor which is one reason I did so bad in your contest. I only bet occasionally.

30 days for 30 picks. Double or nothing. How about it?
