    All I would say is that no one's actual account balance fluctuates based upon forum posting.

    If somebody's winning and not posting, their account still grows. The converse is true as well.

    You can't cash out 'forum cred.'

      You have a point, Cause I am sure people play
      games that they do not post. I do all the time. Like
      3-4 team parlays etc. Posting plays has helped me,I
      don't know why but it has. It kind of tells me where
      I am at for the day, in one sentence.

        one way to tell if someone is a sharp

        ...they make a consistent profit

        i don't really buy any other theory

        you should be in it to profit unless you just like the thrill in which case you definitely are not a sharp

        if you're making a decent profit consistently over a prolonged period no matter how you do it then you are a sharp in my book

        people that lose more money than they win consistently and think at least they are doing it with some since of superior style or skill are fooling themselves

Don’t forget, that athletes like Ruth hardly worked out and did not have strength coaches and steroids and nutrition experts and trainers. They mostly drank beer and showed up with hangovers.

            Yea John you tell'em! Classy indeed.

                  Worked for babe in his job, works for me in mine. Boss disagrees though. But *uck him he doesn't have an eye for talent!

                    I don't think it was quite as good as the NO Thread or Nothing in this thread by SSLP that was an instant classic.

                    However, it does show John's opinions on things haven't changed much in 3.5 years..... faggot is ok to use in a derogatory way and yet other words which may/may not be just as hurtful are more than banned.

                    If your on John's target list then you must be sharp...... or at least sharper than him.

                      I'm beginning to think SBR_John has a 'gay issue' in his past personal life. Lots of animosity

                        The Prick called me a faggot many times and never bothered me. Faggot means buddy in SBR employee handbook.
