Where did all the people go in the "Members Record Forum"?

[wayne1218]

good post....i really could care less what my record is....to me it's not hard to post a losing record....it's the internet what is the point of fudging your record? if i have a shitty record i have a shitty record....i think people should be questioned more often if someone is fudging there record....if my record was wrong i would want someone to tell me because i wouldnt do it on purpose...i find it easy to keep it updated if i do it every night.

Some guys here who get "Alot" of views post records that are a fraud and lines that can't be found anywhere. It happens daily and many who have brought it to my attention know who i'm talking about buddy.

[wayne1218]

I don't usually post analyses for the following reason(s):

1) I handicap the crap out of many games, and my method of capping includes utilizing many sources, so many that to mention all of them would be time and space prohibitive.

2) My plays are often a consensus of the many sources, trends, and yes, tails or fades of hot or cold cappers whom I respect or don't respect.

3) Many of the facts and trends that I use are beaten to death in so many posts, that it is repetitive to cite the same details.

4) I can assure everyone that I am not flipping a coin, or throwing a dart, or pullinng a name from a hat, when I make a selection. Just because there is no qualified list of reasons given does not necessarily mean the same amount of work has not been done to arrive at the play.

5) Because I read many posts at many sites, and post at a few as well. suffice it so say the plays are at least very well-educated informed guesses.

I DO post my record in every post, to detail where I am hot AND where I am cold, but advise against anyone blindly following or fading anyone, without monitoring for awhile.

Most posters here are legit, IMO, and there will be frauds everywhere. But it is pure laziness to tail or fade without doing some homework, either on the game, or the capper .

In short, this "science" is not done with any one particular method, but rather a gathering of data and forming a conclusion.

I agree and i think if someone is too lazy to keep a record, their most likely too lazy to "Cap" games too. Open up a newspaper and circle what looks good because that's probably all they are doing.

I hope no one is foolish enough to coattail anyone unless one of the following is true:

a) they keep an accurate, up-to-date record, or

b) they provide a write-up with each selection that convinces you that there is solid analysis behind the play.

Otherwise, you are foolish to follow, IMO.

By the way, the guys that post everyday would keep a record if they were winning. Otherwise, it is too painful.

I agree with your post ecxept for the write up....if you are here daily you know who does there homework....many good cappers here dont give write ups.....im to lazy to give a write up and alot of times i dont have time....mostly because im lazy

[heleanth]

I don't think you have to do both write-ups and record-keeping, although that would be the ideal. If you do one or the other, though, at least someone that follows has an idea if you know what you are doing or not.

The ones that post that I respect the most are the ones that keep a record and give you a little synopsis occasionally of why they like the game they are playing. That way, I get an understanding of how they think and how much they do when handicapping a game.

That said, I don't do either, so I appreciate those of you that I do respect and coattail! Thanks alot!!!!

I got lazy and have'nt updated it in awhile, now it will take me hours to fix, so I'm just starting over with the NBA and NHL for now.

I always kept it up to date, win or lose, and did not stop due to some losing streak, I just had other priorites

I also don't feel the need for write ups, #1 because I dont care, and #2 because when I do it I usually lose LOL

Welcome back buddy. Where the hell have you been?

wayne/heleanth

I agree!!!!!!!!!!!

I also suck at plenty of sports and still post that "Painful" record! It isn't easy writing that i'm down 150 units in the NFL but i do it anyway. You just never know though because i was down 200 units at one point but i have done very well the last 2 weeks but ..... most people see the record and don't realize you are actually on a good streak.

You are 110% correct though. People will STOP posting a record when it goes bad and i have seen that happen 1000 times here. They are afraid nobody will follow and they are embarrassed to post a horrible record ... OR ....... They fudge their numbers here and there a little each day to keep it looking good. I've seen that 1000 times here too and it's funny 'cause nobody EVER forgets a win in their record but they always seem to skip some losses.

I'm also not talking about everyone either. Many do a great job keeping their records but i could quickly name 20 people who don't ... and i know that from emails and tracking it myself. It's not just a "Mistake" when losses are ignored in the record every day or every other or even twice a week. I've kept a record in 20 sports here for YEARS and it's NOT THAT HARD. People will tell you it is or they don't have time but that's bush league when they are here 20 times a day.

Wayne, are you and Heleanth saying that I quit posting my record, casue "now I'm losing"..........well I'm not losing......and it's been 2 months and 11 days since I updated my record.........

anyone who follows me knows what plays to play that I put out..........I have been extremely busy, and don't have time to update.....If anyone cares to, then do it for us.........I'll take your word for it........

and as far as a synopsis of games, I post too damn many to give a reason for em.......

I've already done my research, and post em "Cause I Like em"........If I gave a report, I'd be here 22 hours a day........

know what I mean Verne......kapt

But I do know what you mean----I don't think it relates to me, hope not---kapt

Welcome back buddy. Where the hell have you been?

Just took a little break(needed to concentrate on the pickem contest LOL, it seems to have worked, what is the prize structure BTW?) every now and than I get frustrated with the goings on here, and need to step out for awhile, but glad to be back.

Dimer put an "Amber Alert" out for you a couple days ago!!!

HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!

Will you put that damn Geritol down!!!!

You would be the LAST person i'm talking about and i would think you knew that. My record has fallen 2 months behind TWICE in the last 6 months alone. Hell, i didn't want to take the time to catch it up 'cause i too bet a shitload of games but i did. I'm just as guilty of doing that. I was talking about others and if you don't know who, then, to use one of your lines .... You are missing the boat Verne!

Yes, and what a lovely piece of literature that was, as to be expected from our resident hack

My record is updated in my pick thread every day. I just never got around to using the record forum.
