Obviously I don't post alot but I do visit often & check out many cappers picks & also see the back & forth between members--the good, the bad & the ugly. This is the only site I visit to get sports info & appreciate all the time people spend capping games. I noticed that there was a big hulabaloo concerning Lewis & some back & forth between GG & the Kaptain @ various times. The Kaptain has been on a great run & I don't mean this any other way than fairness & if I'm wrong (my math isn't very good), then I apologize. In Kaptain's "Final Sat" post he stated he was down 28.3 units thru the early & midday plays. He lost 3 10 star plays & a 5 star (-130) teaser in the evening which would be 39.5 units. The next day he said he lost 39.3 units for Saturdays plays overall & nobody wrote anything! I have to believe it was an honest mistake as I have noticed The Kaptain's extreme diligence to his posts & record. Again, if my math is fuzzy I sincerely apologize. By the way, the only reason I noticed is because I followed the Kaptain's plays that night. Thanks for the plays & good luck to everyone tonight......................

I will certainly look into it, and correct if needed, that fantastic 2/10th of an unit error, if it is there.......
Like Iverson would say....2/10ths , we're talking about 2/10ths....I mean 2/10ths....what's with 2/10ths...I'll spend my time looking it up later, and correcting if needed, but that's a lot of effort for 2/10ths.....without me even going there, anyone could see that 2/10ths is a legit error, if it is there.....Now had Said a difference of 2 units, 10 units, then yes, that would be a good find.....

started glancing at Saturdays update....and he's 100% correct.....I made a big error Saturday....don't know what I did, or how I did it.....but I'm way off.....adding up the losses and wins (not many that day), I must have added the batches wrong....In essence the Early, Mid Day, Late, etc....some kind of way, I added a batch twice, and forgot one...
It will be corrected......
Thanks SAR---and yes we're talking about way more than 2/10 ths.....
I'll correct later on tonight after I add last nights winning units to it....
Appreciate the courteous/polite way you pointed it out to me....
Was gonna take a day this week to figure out why my offshore acct was different from what I show.....I was gonna give em hell, but it appears they're right, as you are....Last edited by Kaptain; 11-11-2008, 09:17 AM.

sar1957/ et all
sar is correct......
here's what I posted in error Sunday AM, just prior to My NFL picks.....
Kapt said...
Kaptains "Day after a TERRIBLE Day" plays
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Had a disasterious/terrible day yesterday....That real good run had to come to an end, but expect it to be this bad....yesterday we went...
3-12 for -39.30 units
5* plays 1-4
10* HIASIGO's 1-5..............that's right, it was that bad....
Should have read -74.10........won loss/5*-10* updates were correct....what I did was carry down the Early/Mid compilation down, and added the won/loss correctly, and somehow, forgot to add the units lost in there.....
Bad on my part.....
Should have read....
Early
2-3...........-7.30
5* 1-2
Mid
1-5...........-27.30
5* 0-1
10* 1-2
Late
0-4..........-39.50....this is the figure I inadvertently carried forward in lieu of the compiled units.....
5* 0-1
10* 0-3
actual day was----compiled
3-12 for -74.10 units
5* 1-4
10* 1-5
No problem sar1957....thanks for the correction.....I've corrected others before, and they flew off the handle, and told me to gfym........A wrong is a wrong, and meant to be righted.....
PS---this is in advance for Phil Jr, and baseballdave, and all the others who'll jump on this................
I will copy and paste this in the records forum, and adjust accordingly.....Last edited by Kaptain; 11-11-2008, 12:10 PM.

Course a simple e-mail to the mods, to notify me, and I could have corrected it, and save me some embarassment would have been nice.....
WTF----Old People make mistakes just like the young pups do....
Just got a feeling some of my so called buddies will have fun with this at my expense....Last edited by Kaptain; 11-11-2008, 12:29 PM.

Kaptain, I did follow your Sunday picks, so thanks. If I would have known I could have e-mailed a mod, I would've done so, so I apologize for that. I'm glad I saved a day for you. I've read many of your posts and you certainly have earned and deserve the respect you receive here. Your insight is appreciated along with your character, honor and intelligence. Thanks for all you do here (and the capping is just part of it).........

Thanks Kaptain, always respected you, but more now than ever.
Post on my friend, and lets bust the off shore mutineers. Arrrr, they are spoiling for a fight with the Kaptain and his BC crew.
