Honestly guys, you're amazing. For real. You protect this place like it's literally your house. This is EVERYONE'S place to have sports conversations. The idea of this place is for everyone to win and hope to be successful. I haven't asked for special treatment once here. I'm here just to post content like everyone else. Besides (I know you guys HATE this word, but this is FREE content.) I've said from the beginning, I'm not here for sales. I'm not here to act like I'm some super tout. I haven't promoted my plays.
Madman, I can't believe you would say something like that. I know you contribute a ton to this forum and I haven't seen you once post on any of my plays yet. Today, I respond to a couple people just hoping they would just relax for a second and you fuel the fire. You're better than that.
I know this sounds cliche but everyone, CHILL OUT! So many people have to be so negative all the time on here. This forum is here for FREE for a reason. If you don't like something, move on. You're not forced to do anything on this site. If you don't like me, that's totally fine. Just find the guy you like better and move on.
You guys can keep adding on if you want too, whatever. Hopefully this will reach a few people and maybe they'll relax on some of the forum posters on here or even the Pregame Pros.
Best of Luck!
You really don't get it, do you? It doesn't have anything to do with not liking your approach so I'll move on and try to find someone I like. I know this is such a difficult concept, but I truly do not like to see people be taken advantage of. Even if you're not a winning bettor, sports betting can still be a lot of fun for the money. You lay -105 at 5D and you're losing $2.27 for every $100 to win bet you make. Your entertainment can cost you less than $1/hour to watch a football game which is much better than any casino option.
Where it gets bad is when bettors go looking for the pot of gold that doesn't exist. I have read the work of many sharp bettors, and I can promise you, never have I heard them say "Take the Jays over the Orioles". "Take the Giants over the Packers". They may say "Take the Jays -120 but not higher than -124" because sharp guys understand it's all about what price you pay.
They also don't say things like "I love Michigan over 9.5 wins. Oh, it was -160. Oh, it was at Bovada. Oh, no, I didn't actually bet it, I was just saying I liked the number they have. Oh, I was just saying I liked their number that anyone with a brain cannot bet because everyone else is at 10".
I know this is lost on some people, but whatever you have done thus far in terms of wins and losses is pretty irrelevant. Anyone can run hot or cold for a few weeks. Simple mistakes allow you to see the forest for the trees fairly easily.
