What has happen to the best fourm ??

Here is my opinion for what it's worth. This site is called Bettors"chat". Well gues what? Aint but about 5-10 of us chatting. Most of the bettors never leave their own thread and most of the guys that chat go into the bettors thread just to say "good luck" for the 20th time of the night just cause it seems like the right thing to do. A very wise man said this is turning into a "good luck" site and boy did he nail that one on the head.

WAS IT SOMETHING " I " SAID IF SO I'M SORRY!!!!!

Trust me JT I have ruffled some feathers over the past and wish I could take some things back but YOU my friend are one of the great members of the site. You post alot of plays,keep a good record,always wish people good luck and everything else you do doesn't go unnoticed. I can promise if we had 100 JT's on this site this place would be the best site in America and I mean that


Plus you make us fat people happy just by reading the title of your threads

In all seriousness and first off Money very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in November and it will be 6 months since she has been gone. Very hard indeed and it just takes time to find yourself and try to pick up the pieces. To say the least it will always hurt but as Joe said as time goes by you learn to accept.

Many good points of why people aren't posting. I think it goes deeper than that though. Yes part of it is the time of year. I do my best to try to make people feel welcome here. By saying good luck I think it shows people that you are reading their thread and it's the thing to do IMO. I see some threads where no one says a thing and for some people itbmay really deter them from posting. I also try to congratulate people when they win to encourage them to keep posting. Somedays I see people have a 4-1 day or sweep their plays and no one says anything. If someone takes the time to post and wins I think it is nice to say good job. Some may feel that why waste my time posting if no one notices.
Also I know for a fact that some guys just don't feel welcomed here anymore. Don't know the specifics why.

This is the best board I know of and I hope we get some more action going on in here. Some people here try to start threads for conversation and get minimal replies at times. I wish more people would throw their two cents in. I know everyones time is limited and everyone can't be on here 24-7 like me!

I don't know what the answer is but yes we have lost a lot of very good people.
Hopefully that will change!

Well said Bryce Couldnt have written it better myself

Thanks LeRoy. Hopefully things get better.

I don't post plays any more mainly because I don't even have a book. so the only time I gamble is during football season with family or friends occasionally. I haven't had an offshore since the Feds cracked down a few years ago...when Pinnacle quit taking US customers. Then the book for which I had a local rep apparently went out of business. I have done pretty well in baseball the last few years but I don't have anywhere to bet baseball...don't have time to handicap these days anyway.

I come on here now occasionally just to have a little conversation with some of the regulars. not too much of anything going on in here now, though.

[The Lovedoc]

Sorry... I will come back posting the checkups and IMPLODING threads... I hear they are in high demand!

[Reno Gambler]

I think not as much stuff going on due to change in format. All sports picks on one forum instead of broken up like it was before. That's the main reason I havn't been here much. Too confusing going through the diffrent subjects......It's probably me.

JT: Best of luck to you. Hope your family issues get straightened out . I will be back posting regularly in another month when the WNBA gets cranked up. But I agree, the forum looks like a ghost town once football and college BB is over.

I am excited about WNBA too!

I believe the reasons are as follows:

1. Ego's
2. Changes of lifestyle
3. Time of year
4. Changes to the site

[insidethe8thpol]

I believe the reasons are as follows:

1. KB ate all the Eggo's
2. N.Dakota hockey season is over
3. Vitterd was banned
4. Savage hasnt been truthful with his Won/Loss records

Maybe so Club, but I think there is more to it than just your list
