We Need More Gambling Info In This Forum!

pavyracer · 02-09-08, 02:58 PM

This is agreat idea kid.

The previous owners of the forum were pro-players and therefore encouraged the moderators and best cappers to post their picks and many of us, including the owners have benefited from the wealth of knowledge.

However, the new owners are pro-sportsbook and do not want the nice cappers to post picks and hurt the books. The new owners have made the business decision to hedge their future to the sportbooks instead to the cappers that are the bread and butter of this forum.

Thanks Pavy,

For NCAA
We should have a top poster following each conference closely. Because there are too many conferences to read local papers and do indepth research. Same with other sports as well. The top posters in this forum need to step up and take this place to the top. Just imagine how valuable all those write ups will be. There should be responses and opinions by everyone in each write ups thread also. Lets go fellas, we need to take advantage of this networking.

We all have favorite teams, and we know our teams better than anybody. Its just natural to follow yours teams conference more than any other.

pavyracer · 02-09-08, 03:10 PM

I'm following SEC, ACC, Big 10, MVC myself. It's impossible to follow all conferences. If the mods encourage this kind of posting your suggestions make perfect sense.

Why wouldn't they its just info? They all gamble as much as we do, im sure they will get involved. Even if their sportsbook friendly now. Is the ownership pro player at EOG or Rx?

I think before anything can be done along the lines you suggest SBR has to get the fukking nursery school retards off of here and keep them off. Maybe make a nursery school forum?

Louisvillekid1 · 02-09-08, 03:18 PM

I dont care about them curious. I just look the other way, just pay attention to the quality guys. We only need like 10 top cappers to step up. We should have write ups on these games.

pavyracer · 02-09-08, 03:28 PM

They think that the job of the moderator is being neutral and just policing the cock-fights between "retards" as curious put it. They need to be pro-active and step up to the plate.

As stated before in this previous reply, there are no "new owners" at SBR. Nor is there any change in philosophy regarding the forum ... the very reason for this forum's existence is to encourage players such as yourself to come and share their handicapping knowledge, experiences (good or bad) at offshore sportsbooks, etc.

5star, TTP and Iwin have given out many winners on the main forum the last week

Louisvillekid1 · 02-09-08, 03:49 PM

Pavy,

So you volunteer to take a conference and provide write up for all their games? What is your favorite team/conference?

Unfortunately, I have a full time job that prohibits be from doing so. I post short write ups on games I like and give my input on other people's threads without being invasive.

capitalist pig · 02-09-08, 04:07 PM

Thats easy for you pros to say,but for those of us like myself who just like to wager for the fun of it, its just not gonna happen. Im not qualified to write up anything on any team and wouldnt want to anyways.

I go on hot/cold streaks just like anyone else, but I wouldnt say its because of my expertise in capping. Im having a very good/lucky NBA season, Ive gone 85-59 so far, 95% of which are posted in NBA best bets everyday. But even with a good record like that I dont feel qualified to write up anything.

When they start a shooting forum, then I will be the guy to do the write ups till then, Ill just post my picks and keep my mouth shut.

Louisvillekid1 · 02-09-08, 04:12 PM

It doesn't have to be a long write up, basically i just think we should have everyones opinion on all these games. There should be a thread for every game and dicussion on them a few days before hand. Alteast from the major conferences.

Louisvillekid1 · 02-09-08, 04:18 PM

We just should be more like a team, then everyone being solo (which is how gamblers naturally are, but most gamblers lose).

A few weeks ago I suggested something like a sports betting mutual fund where we get 10-20 guys with $500 each and start betting every day 5% on 2-3 games that we like after discussing the picks at the forum. Only 2-3 people were interested so I gave up.

Some people are more interested in the every day soap opera, drama discussions than investing in sports betting.

Louisvillekid1 · 02-09-08, 04:25 PM

It looks Like im on my own here, very disapointed with the lack of responses to this thread. This is why gamblers lose, because their lazy. w/e im going to post this at some other forums and see what kind of response I get.

Seems like an interesting idea. Gonna take a lot of thought in setting this up tho. The most important thing is finding someone who can put all that money in an account and not withdraw it and leave on us. 15 guys at 500 = 7500. Then with some winners u will be around 10k. I'm not actually sure what u mean by mutual fund, but when depositing at a sportsbook, i never heard of multiple users on an account.

diogee · 02-09-08, 04:35 PM

This is a great idea and would be very helpful if you had some questions on a game a few minutes before tip-off. Instead of hurrying for analysis you could go to say the ACC thread and save some time. I personally am no good at write-ups. I pretty much analyze ats, stats, injuries, and home court advantage for the games I look at.

I read your original post, and the 1st thing I thought of was getting busted somehow, with some kind of gambling conspiracy charges. Im just the paranoid type, but when you start putting peoples $$$$ into a fund, it just seems like there is greater possibility of conspiracy charges being brought.JMO

You want to have a forum devoted entirely to Grambling? First they aren't a very good team. Then there would only be one team a day to talk about.

It only needs a single person to run the account, and I agree it needs to be of great trust. Maybe we start with $100 each so we can built the trust with the person that's handling the account. If we deposit at any of the A+ books and get the sign-up bonus by virtue of the 7X or more rollover requirement noone can cash and run with the money. When the rollover is met we cash out the winnings except the original deposit split the profits and start all over again till we double the deposit and split again assuming we are capping good and get lucky.

exactly my point. It doesnt have to be a good write up, i could careless about grammar or anything like that. Your not trying to sell your point of view to anybody. Simply just analyze the game and if you see an angle post a pick. The rest of the thread will be used for responses and discussions about the game. Im not really good at write ups either, but they can be informative.

I like the idea, since i'd have a much better chance doing in that way. As their would be a lot more discipline doing in this way than i do on my own. I wouldn't mind doing 500 at all. But just the though of having someone over the net holding 7k in the account. They could easily withdraw and leave the forums. You would need someone to run it that has a ton of money.

For 100 a person, it's not as intriguing to empty the account and run. That seems like a better option. If we get enough guys I'm interested. I definitely don't wanna handle the money, so someone else can.

How would we decide on plays each day?

diogee · 02-09-08, 04:45 PM

I don't really specialize in a certain conference but would be willing to help out with this.

I think if you have been in this forum for about a year like I am and read the picks and write-ups of every sport every day you know what the good cappers are and what are the bad ones to fade. I bet all year long and I know who's opinion has a weight for each individual sport. Some people are good in football, some in NBA, some in NCAA, NHL, soccer, etc, you get the idea. I do not bet every day all sports but when I see a post or an angle I like I hammer it. Imagine if 20 people bring their minds together and put to work. We can vote for the plays before the games start by a majority vote.

Great idea!

MadCapper · 02-09-08, 06:32 PM

chandler1981 · 02-09-08, 06:50 PM

Louisville Kid,
I would be willing to help out. I also work alot but should have enough time to post some write ups. I have been winning alot in the NBA. Also, I follow the SEC the most and also the ACC. I would love to help get this place back. I have been posting more at EOG because SBR has gone downhill. I'm with you on trying to get this place rockin!

Louisvillekid1 · 02-10-08, 01:12 AM

Alright well starting on monday Ill have a thread for the big east that will run all weak long. Ill have write ups for every game. Hopefully it catches on, you cappers just step up and take over a conference.

Iwinyourmoney · 02-10-08, 07:37 AM

Ill cover O/U's. Obv Im not going to cap every O/U game a day......maybe 3-5 per day that I feel fit to be capped?

McRich · 02-10-08, 08:20 AM

OK, count me in. I do not claim to be a gambling expert, but I can provide a write-up of my picks.

I will provide Big Ten basketball picks for the rest of the season. I just looked up my Big Ten basketball picks since the first of the year. As of yesterday, I am 22-9 ATS in Big Ten basketball.

I have been watching Big Ten basketball since 1975. I recently started capping though. I will post at least one Big Ten basketball write-up when there is a game.
