    -= The Types of Gamblers =-
    Ah such gloomy rainy days in socal, and as I was bored...
    There's more but I can't think of any them right now hehe.

    The Locksmith
    This guy has more locks than Home Depot and your local locksmith. Everyday, he will be posting the lock of the decade, lock of the millenium, lock of the century. He is so confident in his locks, he tells you to put your house on it and even sell your wife and kids if you must. Sometimes you start to wonder to yourself if this guy is actually a millionaire, because he's lost so many homes it's amazing how he's still gambling.


    The "Fade the Public" guy
    This guy is always sketchy about every single play or line. You will often see him playing shitty plays like the New Jersey Nets or Detroit Lions, because his reason is that 90% or more on the other side. You usually spot him saying things like, "95% on the other side yet the line is not moving, I'm pounding the hell outta the Lions!" He "fades the public" so much and loses, you begin to jot down his name underneath The Locksmith on your notepad and hope that you never have the same plays as them.


    The Attention Whore
    This guy posts very often and always has lots of plays. He plays way too many games everyday to be taken seriously. You don't even need to take a second glance to know that he's definitely under .500 Using tons of flashy bolded color fonts in the posts are a must. There are also tons of smilies/icons all over the place. You can tell he spends more time in putting colors into his posts than actually capping the games itself. Opening his posts just makes you dizzy.


    The Parlayer
    This guy plays parlays all the time. He always posts his crazy parlays and tells you to cheer for him. He never plays any parlays less than 10 teams, because he believes anything less than parlay 10s are for "suckas". Often times he would post asking if he should hedge after 2 of his plays hit, while 6 games are simultaneously in progress, and the last 2 are pending late games.


    The Point Buying Whore
    You will usually spot this guy posting his plays and always telling you to buy points "just to be safe". Most often times he'll also sound very confident in his plays too, but he tells you to buy the points "just in case". Like you will spot this guy giving you his NBA Basketball POD -4, but then he tells you to buy a touchdown just in case (wtf!!?!).


    The Fix guy
    You know it's coming everyday, you can BET on it. Whenever you notice on the day where there's a game where last second missed FTs happen to affect the spread for instance, you can be sure this guy will be posting a new thread crying "that game was so fixxxed!!". If a basketball player as much as even dares to miss an easy layup, the game is definitely fixed. Because we all know that basketball players never miss FTs. They never foul even when they're down double digits. NFL kickers always make all their chip shot field goals (Chargers woot). The guy has more conspiracy theories than 9/11. He believes hurricane Katrina was a terrorist attack. No seriously, there's just no reasoning with this guy. Because when games doesn't end his way, it's fixed. The guy doesn't comprehend bad beats you hear, never!!


    The Moosed guy
    Sometimes you just can't help but feel sorry for this poor soul. Everytime you open his posts he tells you how he just got moosed. Like he could have an under in an NBA game. And from the looks of the game, the game is WAY under. So then the team down by 3 launches a half court prayer.. sinks the basket.. and sends the game into OT. But don't worry, he still has hope because it looks like the game still will manage to stay under even with OT. But they hit another last second shot and send the game into double OT. His under is toast and theres a new hole in his wall. You can usually spot him having like over 194.5, and the total lands on 194. Other times he'll have like under 199.5, and the team down by double digits fouls with 0.2 seconds left, and the 2 FTs sends the game to 200. He could even be on the underdog +3.5 in an NFL game that's going into OT, but the other team will just run the ball in for a TD. He takes beatings so bad, you sometimes wonder if he's related to The Fix guy.
