Trust Tipster?

[Art]

When the Sports Tipster says "trust me" or gives a high rating to his plays, all he means is that his sources/analyses are excellent in the case of his pick.

The best picks can lose.

The hottest cappers have losing streaks.

It's called gambling.

That is why we are not all rich already.

Deal with the reality and quit whining about Northcoast in college, Tipster, etc.

Too many kids here that need to grow up.

well said!!! exactly why i stay on the outside edges here and not get pulled into that stuff. doesn't help anyone, and certainly hurts the whole forum. some people with good things to say won't say them for the simple fact that they also may be ridiculed!!!!

[BUGS]

HEY ART...

I AM NOT REAL SURE WHY PEOPLE ARE ON MY CASE! I SURE AS HELL DIDNT SAY ANYTHING NEAR AS BAD AS OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED. IN FACT, I HAVE BACKED TIPSTER UP MANY TIMES WHEN PEOPLE GO AND BASH HIM AFTER HAVING LOST!

ALL I WAS SAYING WAS IN NO WAY SHOULD ANYONE EVEN IMPLY THAT THE PLAY IS A LOCK! AND IF THAT PLAY HAD LOST, HE SHOULDNT BE SAYING THAT AGAIN NEXT TIME! WE ALL KNOW THERE ARE NO SUCH THING AS LOCKS. THAT'S ALL I WAS SAYING. COULD I HAVE SAID IT BETTER? SURE, WE CAN ALL SAY THINGS BETTER. BUT THIS WHOLE THING GOT BLOWN WAY OUT WHACK. I WILL NOT ALLOW PEOPLE WHO DONT EVEN KNOW ME TO SAY I WILL CRY LIKE A BITCH IF I LOST. HOW MANY TIMES HAS ANYONE HERE SEEN ME COMPLAIN ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE'S PICK? NEVER!!!!!!

BUT FOR SOMEONE TO SAY A PICK IS A LOCK IS RIDICULOUS! WHEN SOMEONE SAYS TRUST ME, I AM THINKING LOCK. I KNOW I DONT HAVE TO PLAY, BUT OTHERS DONT HAVE TO GIVE FALSE IMPRESSIONS EITHER.

REGARDLESS, I COULD CARE LESS WHAT OTHERS THINK OF ME. I AM HERE TO HELP OTHERS AND FOR OTHERS TO HELP ME. HELL, HALF OF THESE PEOPLE DONT EVEN POST THEIR OWN PLAYS, BUT WE DO. IF PEOPLE HAVE FOLLOWED MY NFL, THEN THEY SHOULD BE UP BIG. IF THEY FOLLOW MY NCAA, THEN THEY WILL BE DOWN. BUT, MY NFL OUTWEIGHS MY NCAA. THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE IS MAKING MONEY. I DONT DO ANYTHING ELSE.

ALSO, THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT GIVE OUT FALSE PLAYS FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY HAVE. TIPSTER IS NOT LIKE THAT! BUT, I DONT KNOW THAT RUNNER, WHAT KNID OF MOTIVATIONS HE HAS OR WHAT? HOW AM I TO KNOW HE GAVE TIPSTER THE RIGHT INFO? THAT IN NO WAY IMPLIES ANYTHING TO TIPSTER. HELL, I LIKE THE GUY AND RESPECT HIS PLAYS! I JUST GET TIRED OF HEARING ANYTHING THAT MAY IMPLY A LOCK! ENUFF SAID!

I agree Art. We all know nothing is certain and all cappers go through streaks. You just have to know how to play each capper, play more after they show good patterns, and less when they don't.

I shook my head yesterday when someone posted Hammering Hank Goldberg's picks, and stated how he sucks and is only 50% this year. Jesus! The guy at ESPN gives out his personal picks and is doing as good as, if not better than half the services people are requesting for here and/or posting.

I also get tired of hearing about the way services are talking about themselves on their comp lines. The way I feel is these guys run a business and they have salaries, expenses, ect. they are comited to weekly and it is in their best interest to not shy new customers away from them with nothing but negatives on an advertment phone message. They have to at least hold some restraint in advertising bad losses. Most services that are honest may not advertise all their losses, but will tell you what their record was if you call and talk to a rep.

I don't know about you, but when I loss after following other people's picks I always blame myself for following the play and not the source.
