    If a play is good enough to start a whole new thread about, it should be good enough to put in the "official thread" (isnt that the point of this whole thing?).

    If it was just a post that he gave his opinion about in a thread...I dont see anything wrong in that.

      And, in cases like J. Zheng, I clearly said *ADDING* and quoted the pick before the game start.

      I never added anything on Verdasco here, I didn't deliberately try not to, or think it wasn't "good enough" to post, I just ultimately didn't get in here and do it.

      So, win or lose irregardless, it's not part of the official plays posted in this thread.

        Eh, that;s really no different than forgetting to add a play to the offiial thread, which we have all done. Should he have added the extra units here - probably if he really did raise his bet. BUT, you can't count plays made outside this thread on the official record because that would create a nightmare bookkeeping wise. That is the whole point of having a thread like this, to keep plays in one thread to make record-keeping easy.

          Exactly.

          If I felt so strongly about Nadal winning that I create a new thread announcing that Im adding 20 more units, shouldnt that supercede any other thread? Especially since I am adding units to the original bet?

            I don't disagree that I should have added it in the first place, but I never got around to it, so I didn't grade the extra units since I never posted it in here.

            I've had no problems posting *ADDING* in here before, but it escaped me on this bet. So why should it be counted as 'official', if it wasn't posted here?

              Alright just my two cents lou...I know this probably wont get through to you but...

              Its a messed up situation but if you have units on someone in an "official thread" and you start a diffrent thread, saying you are adding MORE units to that players, not only are you attention whoring(by having two threads about the same thing) but you also should record it.

                I hear you, but the fact remains that he didn't add the units here. Like I said, you shouldn't go outside this thread to grade plays for logistical reasons.

                  If we're to ignore all the picks made outside our "official" threads then why even make new threads with picks?? What would be the point?

                    Right, he should have added the units here. But he didn't, and therein lies the problem.

                      To get more discussion on that particular game, not to transfer accounting into an entire new thread. If that was the case, there'd be no point in having official threads to keep score, you could just tally every pick across every thread and post made, which like LT said, would be a nightmare.

                      Like I said, I've *added* units on plays in here before, but I didn't get around to it in this official picks thread, so win, lose, draw, or cancel, it would be absolutely unethical to count the game here.

                        I don't really care. Because people's records are a big whatever at SBR to me anyway. I focus more on winners or losers and not unit size (hehe - that's what she said) but that statement is power gay Lou.

                          Anyhow, seems like much ado about nothing, as Lou has kept accurate records in this thread so far. I have more important things to worry about.

                            So basically all picks made outside "official" threads should be ignored and laughed at because they are meaningless.

                            Gotcha.

                              This is why it's not worth the hassle of sharing picks and tracking an official record.

                                Okay, now this is getting good. We have a few new nicknames for Lou in just a few days:

                                WackyStu
                                PowerGayLou

                                Along with the old standards Loubert and Loucifer, Lou might not be the best tennis hanidcapper on SBR, but I think he holds the crown for most nicknames.

                                        Where've the tennis picks been, Lou? There's been some great clay court action in South America the last week and a half and we haven't heard a peep from you.

                                              Sports betting and handicapping forum: discuss picks, odds, and predictions for upcoming games and results on latest bets.


                                              Yeah, in that thread I posted it. Again, I only want the picks I post in this thread to be tracked, as this is my season thread. I don't keep other forum records everytime I announce I'm on a play, that'd be insane to account for.

                                                  Good luck, Lou! I'm playing the ATP today, freaking lousy lines but I've got a unit on F. Gil +5 vs. Almagro. Hopefully he holds his own today.

                                                    Schnyder is up a break. If she holds serve, it's cashed.

                                                    Good luck to you as well.

                                                          Good call, I looked at that match and sure wasn't going to play Schnyder for the match. It's against my religion to bet against a woman whose name ends in "chy" at tournaments in France.
