    They just keep feeding the bookmaker who can break off a piece for those guys who really know this biz. I mean you guys really are punters. I look at best bet thread. Its your BEST bet. You should be positive on your favorite picks no matter what. I look through there and see more than half losing their ass. Seriously, can you even spell handicapping? Hate seein it, but **** it. You guys pay my bills, so what the hell.

    I don't see the point of this thread. Is it just to express that you believe yourself to be the best handicapper on the board, are are you just drunk/lonely and looking for a fight tonight? And you're only 22, what kind of "bills" could you have?

      I am in no way a great handicapper...as a matter of fact I am a rookie and have only been doing it for a couple of months at most and don't mind losing...I really have no one "best bet". I feel equally confident in every play I make and flat bet them as well.

              i jsut want to know what the chronic losers get from losing. Is it addiction? Im not saying im the best, im just saying, why throw money in the trash pail?

                    It's interesting when you pick an unpopular dog as your main play...and the crap you get for it....then it comes thru...a couple days later another dog selection...and the crap recycles for taking that one as well...I had members emailing how there was no way the Blazers would cover..not paying attention that this is a home game +8....they've beaten the Lakers 4 in a row at home and are 7-1 ATS in the last 8 vs them as well...live and learn

                        and I'm a Lakers fan...have been forever even before I moved to LA...but I've seen a lifetime of Laker games at Portland and know hard it has always been for them at that place...I hope they pull this out and win ...just not by 8 or more

                                We should all be following BOT's plays from here on out. I mean, if he can win over a sample size of about a dozen plays in a meaningless "best bet" thread, surely he's a proven long-term winner.

                                  And i would say ive never seen you pick a game, let alone a winner. I have 20+ unit record that you can see at any time, can you say the same?
                                  As for Raiders, you know this grind, but your a smartass

                                    Im not trying to say im great or anything but look at the numbers guys. THats all im saying here. You bash me for my picks, thats fine. many of the guys/gals here know me and recieve my PM with picks, of which i am hitting at 59% over 200games and you can see the pms if want not to mention my thread. THIRTY THREE of the posters are UP units on the "best bet" thread. FOURTY FOUR are DOWN units. Your best bets should be just that right? Thats what I am saying.

                                      Yes clearly the people winning are truly submitting their best bets, and the people who are losing must not have entered their best bets, or else they would win. And if they sided against you and won, they were just lucky.

                                      So when are you going tout?

                                        BOT,

                                        It's not accurate to judge the whole board by one thread thats been going on for only a few weeks. I think we should all be here to help each other to become better cappers.

                                        I don't really know what answer you are looking for. One could say, "most ppl do lose and that's why vegas makes so much money". I say, thats lame. But honestly, sportsbetting can be profitable by using proper money management skills along with proven strategies and more importantly studying teams and games.

                                        There are several types of bettors. Recreational, professional, degenerates, occasional, spot, good, bad, etc.

                                        I would hope that nobody is here because they like to lose money. I think most ppl that find this site are trying to learn as much about sports as possible so they can become better handicappers. Most sportsbettors don't lose because they suck or because they don't know about sports.

                                        I think it is most likely they lose because they either don't study the games, have to have action, don't use proper money mgmt skills, or try to dig out of a slump in a day or two.

                                        I can assure you that there are alot of guys making money here. But, I do agree that there are some here that are action junkies and if they are here long enough hopefully they will become soild cappers and learn the tools of the trade.

                                        Anybody can become better at anything and everything. It takes time and passion for what you are doing.

                                          oh my, you people are idiots. never did i say anything bout ppl siding against me. I am saying that based on your "best bet" which by definition is the surest play ya got, then more than 50% of posters are losing their "best plays" which = problem

                                                  Big Orange Titans,

                                                  What purpose does this thread serve other than to pad your own ego? Are you really that concerned with others, or do you just enjoy calling people out as losers as you are enjoying a good season?

                                                  If you really do have a caring bone in your body, go start some threads in the Think Tank and share your philosophies and gambling knowledge. We already have jj to remind us all that we are degenerate losers who will not succeed at sports betting, that role is filled- but thanks for auditioning.

                                                    Crazyl, arent you the one whose GOY was a ****in exhibition? Also seen another MiniGOY play of yours go down in flames? Maybe your the one who should try touting....

                                                    Not trying to pad ego, only pointing out the fact that more than half of those that pick in that thread would have in fact lost money had that been their only play on their card and that maybe, just maybe, they should look for some knowledge instead of flipping coins.

                                                      I participate in the thread for fun....losing record on the thread however does not mean a losing record overall. It is just 1 game a day.

                                                        It's a known fact most people lose when betting sports, so what are you trying to say? I still don't understand what you are trying to convey other than you thinking you're better than most people here.

                                                        This thread is bad karma for you though, because once you start losing and no one is immune to losing people will start bumping it and making fun of you.. Similar to what you are doing here to folks.

This is your outlet, I understand that. You receive a big from me on your season- there, was that all you wanted? I'll give you a hug next time if you just post your record without throwing posters under the bus.

                                                              I do think I am better than more than half of the posters here. I dont care what people think, because their opinions do not affect me or my wallet. I am not singling out anyone, but have been singled out repeatedly here. Just think its something worth looking at, the fact thatthese folks best plays are hitting at way below 50%

                                                                Yup, now my life is complete. I got props from some guy i dont even know. As for throwing posters under the bus, I never called out anyone. I just thought it intriguing that so many posters have access to great knowledge and great cappers that post and they still do not use that.

                                                                    I agree with you to a certain extent. There are a lot of dumbasses on here and a lot of them have joined the site recently. One of the mods here is a complete dumbass who cant pick his nose..

                                                                    My complaint more so is with people who post picks without any explanations or records and then bump their threads when they win and disappear when they lose. It really doesn't do anyone any favors posting plays without explanations.

                                                                    For every one person who is winning there are nine who are losing. Luck has something to do with it as well.
