From this point forward, I will maintain a public record..

[SBR Lou]

After an incredible amount of deliberation, mounting pressure, and poster feedback, I have made the decision to, from this point forward, maintain a complete public record of all tennis picks made.

To simplify any potential issue, absolutely any tennis pick I post in any thread by stating it as a play for X units will be added to the record. If I do not specify units, it is because it is to win one, but I will likely indicate.

I have asked yisman if he would lend his time, in the event that ever a grading discrepancy arise, to help clarify any potential mistake so that my tennis record will be of the utmost integrity at all possible times.

During my time as a tennis handicapping evaluator, there have been several pitfalls, high points, and points in between, but none have changed my love of the sport, my enjoyment of public discussion of the sport, and my desire to have our tennis subforum blossom into the best place for tennis handicapping evaluators to gather.

I invite you all to stop by our Tennis Handicapping forum, soak in some sun, share insight with others, and join us in getting geared up for what is hopefully a profitable and prosperous 2009 US Open for us all.

Thanks guys for the feedback and continued support,

God Bless you and your Tennis plays!

Something you should've done earlier, but nice decision and goodluck

[tacomax]

Wow, this is big news.

Big news? This is fukkin' huge. If I had to compare it to something, I'd say it's the SBR equivalent of Watergate. And you my friend, are the Deep Throat of this particular SBR scandal. Rogue Scholar is very much looking forward to meeting you at the bash.

Crazy Lou reminds me of Obama. He'll have a news conference and announce that he has to go take a shit.

[ijustwant2bpaid]

[pavyracer]

Why don't you use Matt Rain's spreadsheet instead? He did all the hard work for you already you lazy ass.

[Willie Bee]

Oh man, thanks for the laugh there Mr. Rain. "semi-consensual"

[yisman]

Post of the week.

[j0hnnyv]

biggest news in months here at sbr. thank you LOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EaglesPhan36]

Why don't you just make a new thread for your posted picks that you are going to track rather than this "any pick posted in any thread" where you know people are going to argue what they saw somewhere, etc. I think it'd be nice & easy to consolidate your picks into one thread that will get a bajillion hits from everyone who will be looking. It will also keep all the bashing/ball massaging/etc. in one thread whilest others might actually have tennis discussion? Just a rational thought.

[MexicanStallion]

Good luck. Look forward to seeing the results.

[SBR Lou]

Good luck. Look forward to seeing the results.

Thank you very much sir, and thanks to all who weighed in with their feedback and well wishes. I would not have the energy to put my tennis picks out there without the unwavering support so many of you have displayed.

I am clearing my head right now, taking care of other responsibilities, but I will return to the tennis game in full swing quite shortly, and begin tracking immediately thereafter.

[The HG]

lou will be up now that he is tracking the picks

the Law of Cosmic Comedy dictates it

[Willie Bee]

From this point on I will continue to do what I've always done, that being to worry about my picks and no one else's.

I was going to call you a cunt, but changed my mind, Lou - I won't call you a cunt this time.

[Matt Rain]

Very wise and reasonable of you sir.

[The HG]

I would just like to say that in my opinion, everyone at SBR is not a cunt.
