I remember he said that he never post hes plays cause of the bashing of other posters when he losesComment -
He'll be using the sick gambler account for that. No worries.Comment -
onner,
i have never posted plays in my 10 yr posting career. never liked to.. i feel always responsible when i cost some poster money and i hate this feeling knowing some poor kid just lost money on acct of him believing in me and letting him down. i can't live with myself... no joke.. also, the haters.. when you lose one game, they all jump on you.. even if you were 22-9 prior to that night, then you go 0-4, they'll come out and knock you.....not worth it for me.
however, where have you been? i have posted the last 3 habs pick and they are winning. i posted last week they'd have the best record in east and maybe even win the CUP.. they are undefeated in 4 games this year.
onner, i have been posting those picks.. i am not much of guy who posts picks.. also, it's too time consuming for me. i need to focus on my picks at getting the best prices.. i have to be on my toes and not sitting here posting my picks at 7:03 pm.. i might miss a good line..Comment -
nicky, what i mean by posting picks is you saying Habs -110 -1.5, or Habs ML -240, whatever.
not you saying i think habs will win, that doesnt count you have to post a line for it to count as a posted play otherwise thats just a prediction on the gameComment -
Posting plays would be a lot less time consuming though than one of your long responses in a thread.Comment -

are you a sensitive man nicky??? that is very sensitive of you, to be thinking about costing "kids" their money by tailing you.
That would be a terrible burden to bear. I can understand that. One sensitive man to another.
But at the same time, to be perfectly honest, trhis summer I came on here and covers and a few other places to find people that were good at capping, and just found winners...period AND posted their winners.... now that leaves out 97.8% of people on the boards... EVERYONE posts their picks.. So, to follow through on the honesty part..... in my diciphering of who to tail... you were crossed off the list fairly early.
don't worry about people losing money following you on picks... If they are doing that, they are squares that need to learn the hard way to cap on their own. Or to find people that go about their business, post their picks cuz they know they are good and leave it at that.
the soap opera stuff is interesting, and keeps people around when there ain't much action. And i'm a big believer in COMMUNITY, and you help foster that here. which for some people online community is better then no community. but don't use the just the excuse of worrying about others losing $ on your picksComment -
i am not saying everyone will follow my picks.. but for example, if i say, flyers -140 is strong.. and then 4 posters come in and say.. nicky, i am on it.. nicky i am on it.. nicky, thanks for the pick.. nicky,.. i appreciate the pick.. lets go flyers... and these kids dont have much money..
flyers lose 6-1.. you dont think i am going to 1st.. feel bad for them.. 2- feel responsible.. and 3- feel like an idiot and 4- you dont think a few will come out of the woodwork and bash me and call me an idiot?
i have done this a couple of times in my life back in the days.. and i would start great.. everyone loved me.. then i had one bad day of 1-7.. and everyone came out of woodwork and started hammering me.. i was still up big on yr, but after that night, all i heard was .. you suck.. you're clueless.. you're a joker.. etc..
this is all not worth it for me.. i dont know how some you actually can take the time to post picks for people. to me, this is a freakin joke. i can never do it. why waste your time for? these people are just looking for attention.. focus on yourself to try to make money for you.. why do you have to try and be a showoff and show the world you are smart.. people love to be told how good they are..
all i ever said was habs are good and underpriced. that's enough. also, it really is too time consuming.. i need to focus on my own lines and shop around.. i can't be thinking of typing in my lines so people can pat me on the shoulder if i win, OR call me a loser if i lose.. not worth it..
which is why i can never and will never post my picks.. JUST NOT WORTH THE AGGRAVATION..Comment -
okay when you put it that way I can understand what you are saying.
and you are right, 98% of people are totally just pulling picks out they butt and trying to get attention.
I can respect someone on here that isn't here to do JUST that like someone like HOOPSTER-whateverdafuktherestofhisnameis-
But maybe i'm thinking too logically and considering how analytically I thought about following some stranger on a message board before actually throwing money at that pick.
In fact, for the most part unless someone posts somthing way intelligent, insightful, and just real dang indepth... i'm not gonna care at all about their picks, and would never bet a game just because of what they posted...(save for a few games on hockey this year by LT and betplom thus far cuz i've never bet hockey and they were slow days)
For the most part, I take what people post with 10,000 grains of salt...and use their picks to maybe confirm my leans... or dissuade me of a lean that i'm not too strong on..Comment -
In any event.
there is no law for you to post diddly crap...
BUT all that being said above...... I know that I would stop and read a pick by YOU alot more closely then "I-lovehoops&boobs" that has 17 posts and joined 2 weeks ago that calls the grizzlies vs bobcats game as his "lock of the century"
give people some credit to distinguish a phoney from someone that has some level of knowledge.
and for real, ignore the johny come lately's that flame people for attention, when you lose.
like I Said earlier.... I don't know much about hockey.
and outside the Pens I know like 25 skaters in the league.
so I'd love to see you're picks, where ya got em, why ya like em ect.
(cept, don't tell me how much you love the Habs, you warned us against homers last week)..
anyways.. just my 2 cents.... do as you please... I mean if you can't practice hedonism on the web, where can you.... people come here for their own reasons.. who am I to judge... I'm just saying... I'd appreciate if you help a newbie like me more..Comment -
Nicky is 2-0 in picks this year on board

I did not even remember the Flyers pick last year. Can you imagine if you ever gave a pick a week or so?? The demand would be very great but I see your point it would be too time consuming to get involved in that.
I will never forget when Sick Gambler studied baseball games day and night looking at stats of all sorts and broke every game down perfectly and still lost over 100K and it almost ruined him. After that disaster he became the greatest /middler scalper of all times and the greatest at getting the best lines at books.
Where is this guy??Comment -
I am new to this forum but not forums ingeneral. I hope my opinion here doesn't cause offense to anyone.
It is ashame that these types of forums tend to draw the what have you done for me lately mentality. You can have someone go 22-9 one week and then 0-4 as you stated and the haters forget all the good you did. that ruins a forum almost as much as the pretenders that play fake wagers and post LOCK and GARUNTEE!
As a poster you have only one responsibilty, to be honest. If you post what you feel is right you're done. If you HYPE it as a can't miss or try and sell it like a TOUT in training then you're crossing the line. Ofcourse if you do those types of things it should be a clear indicator that the thread should be read with the utmost scutiny in the first place.
As someone tailing post you have multiple resposibilities. The burden isn't on the poster it's on you. First you have to rationalize what you read. Is it someone who has been there a while? Does the poster post a proven record? Does the poster support his selections with facts and game information? Is the poster giving you information or is he hyping his ego? Secondly just blindly following anyone no matter what kind of roll they are on is plain silly and irresponsible to your finances. You have to do your homework still. Being lazy is a great way to be broke. Lastly you have to be mature enough to realize that this is a game of streaks. The hottest guys around still have bad days, weeks even sometimes seasons. Things change and adjustments have to be made. Hating on someone YOU CHOSE to tail shows nothing but lack of maturity and basically says plenty about the hater as a person ingeneral.
Santauro I am not posting this to try and convince you to post because I don't know you or anything about how long you have been capping or anything else. Just stating my two cents worth.Comment -
jj, it's not just time consuming.. you read this thread.. people love to bash others when they are not winning..
jj, i swear, about 6 yrs ago at rx once.. i was like 44-23 to start NHL season. i was up 26 units.. i was hot.. about 7 or 8 guys that hated me, never posted again... then one day, i went 1-7.. and out of nowhere, these 8 guys jumped in with the mocking.. you loser. you're a square.. how can anyone follow you.. you suck.. how can you take toronto, they suck.. 1-8 on road... etc.. the bashers love to come out and bash.. so it's not worth it..meanwhile, i was still up 18 units after only 75 games,, but bashers hate to see anyone up..
My proof will be when, or IF LT starts to go on a bad run and is down 12 units by november.. i will lay -750 that a few will come in and bash him.. and call him clueless.
unless you never lose and stay hot al year.. posting picks is a lose lose situation..Comment -
first i am not a hockey player...uneducated on the subject.
i was up pretty good after monday night and bases...so i put a few bucks on the habs last night. shouldnt have because like i said i know nothing about hockey, Nicky and Richie liked them so what the hell.
My point is to nicky your write ups influenced me playing the habs last night. if i would have lost i would have said nothing because at the end of the day i am the one who made the bet.
The other end is Monday night. Most posters were on the Giants. I had a slight lean towards Cleveland. So I put a little more on the browns because everyone else was on the Giants. It has been my experience when everyone loads up on MNF on one side it goes the other way.
So Nicky if you want post your plays post them...if not don't...its your life.Comment -
He did post a pretty good one for Canadian Football based on a nightmare he had.Comment -
Haven't seen any plays posted from MS61853, a few references to winning wagers after the fact, but nothing I can find before a game starts.Comment
