    Here is an idea sbr.
    Whenever someone posts lock, or guarenteed or something to that effect in their title and that play loses, you one ban that player for a week or take away 20 sbr points from them. For two days now, I go to players talk and see paulypoker with these annoying threads about locks and he loses and posts the same bs the next day. This stuff has gotten out of control on here. I feel like I am looking at 12 year olds posting. It seems to be the same people over and over who need attention because their mom took them off the tit to early as a child. Everyone in their right mind knows that the only lock in the world is the fact that jj will never be laid, well by a woman that is.

    First rule of sports betting, there are no locks...unless you got the pick from Tim Donaghy. =) Posters have to realize it's just a play someone really likes.

    We can't monitor the board that heavily but maybe you guys should make it so the guy posting his lock play has to post his all-in sbr points bet ticket?

      That sounds like a great Idea. I will continually PM every Moderator in the forum, when a "lock" thread doesn't win.

      Dozer, create a sticky that says "New Rule about posting "LOCKS"" Then say, if you feel like spamming the forum with locks, you will be subject to a 3 day ban if it doesn't win.


      Thanks Dozer, I'll be pm'ing you after tonight, I guarantee at least 1 of the 8-15 "lock" threads we'll have on the board tonight doesn't win.

        I have to agree. I can find at least 3 threads from the same idiot about locks on the front page of PT right now. None of them are winners and he does it just to be an ass. You guys always wonder why people leave this site and continually ask for ways to make it better. Start by cleaning up the trash.

          Make it so you have to post up x amount of points for a play. If it loses you the points. If it wins people should donate points or something like that.

          Mind you this would be tough to moderate unless the software was made for it.

          Or have a rating by someones username with +/- from posting play and if they get minus enough they are not allowed to post anymore plays.

          idk, some ideas.

                    I don't, was more referring to the OP and his idea, which isn't that great

                        Post the "locks" in the particular sub-forum.


                        Players talk is to waste time during work, not see stupid "lock" threads cluttering it.


                        When someone post's a "lock" that doesn't mean automatic fade....Same thing with stupid fukkin jinx threads, they don't change the outcome of the game.

                          Exactly. Embrace the fade instead of whining.

                            Every play is a "lock", so most of the people posting plays would be banned for a week. No one has the time to keep up with that.

                                its also annoying when idiots create lock threads trying to jinx it cause they have the other side

                                jinx threads are just as annoying, or even more annoying i'd say than lock threads
