    Why are you here?
    Never noticed how many people were here to "have fun" and "pretend you're in school again". Anybody here to actually talk about winning strategies that lead to making money? About done with this place, Think Tank is just about dead now as well

    Think tank has been dead since before I got here... at least J7 was around to mix it up with HUY and Sawyer over there.

    Would be nice, but most people ain't bright enough to think there way around the stuff discussed there (if its actually worthwhile)

    Plus, those people with winning strategies aren't here for the most part, its just losers talking to losers (from a gambling perspective)

            The more I evolve and see more profits as a handicapper and try to help others, the more I want to stop posting. So many idiots who refuse to listen to reason when you are trying to help.

                  If you come here to have fun you don't belong posting

                  If you're a good poster posting should not be fine

                  Also gambling is not fun so posting you should not be fun

                  If you think gambling is funny you don't belong here

                  There is a lot of real shit going on here and it's very serious

                  Posting should be the most important thing you do

                  Make every post like it is your last

                  Again don't come here to have fun. If you want fun go to the circus or watch comedy television

                  I come here to try and win money and also converse with others with the same issues as myself

                                I don't come here to loosen up, I come here to complain about bad beats and discuss/research betting strategies brought up by others. This is a business to me, if I wanna have fun I'll go out with friends

                                    very true, but I've seen a few sharps on here believe it or not. I wouldn't consider them heavy movers but still

                                      every bet is a logic problem. Many moving parts that can't always be quantified, but I love trying

                                        You've gotten awfully arrogant, and I'm not exactly sure why. You used to be a level-headed, down to earth guy. Now you're this angry, bitter, holier-than-thou poster who complains about everything. I don't get it.

                                        Was playing a -190 prop on a Rivers INT "helping" SBR last night?

                                          matter of fact it was, it was a good bet that I would recommend to my grandmother to bet. Good bets don't always win, that's life

                                            The irony here is that you used to track your plays back in the day and you were good at it. Now you've morphed into this pissed off guy who still hangs out at SBR but doesn't track anything, yet you've "evolved" as a capper and are doing better than ever?

                                              We'll just agree to disagree. I think you got juiced to the hilt on a prop bet that, at best, was a toss-up and not anywhere near the -190 line. But you'll come back at me about how it doesn't matter how many games Rivers has thrown INT's in -- that it's more about the overall number -- even though you were betting whether or not he was going to throw one in last night's game, rather than how many he was going to throw.

                                                yeah, why post my plays to people who don't give a shit unless they WIN, doesn't matter if they are good bets. I have no issues sharing my plays with some posters here.

But you'll come back at me about how it doesn't matter how many games Rivers has thrown INT's in -- that it's more about the overall number -- even though you were betting whether or not he was going to throw one in last night's game, rather than how many he was going to throw.

                                                  I'll let that go since I obviously didn't convince you the other night

                                                    If they are good bets, they should show a profit over a period of time, hence tracking all plays as opposed to posting a play here or there.

                                                    I remember you being a decent gambler, a little Louisville ecstatic (Bridgewater Heisman ), but would be interested to see what the new and improved Tpowell plays look like.

                                                      Coming here to try and find a play or bet is definitely the wrong approach. You can tell who doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground and is throwing darts.

                                                      Instead of wasting time dissecting games and trying to cap, just fade the moron's, spend time doing something else productive, and check your account daily to see it rise.

                                                          Are you trying to convince me that your -190 prop play on Rivers was incontrovertibly a "good bet"?

                                                          I understand the idea of not being so results-oriented when looking at the play of a poster, but you're really stretching here.

                                                          Anyway, I guess I just don't understand why SBR was OK to track plays in a thread before, but now it's not and yet you complain now when you didn't before. Something tells me you aren't as well off as you're trying to portray.
