MrHotPicks is a FRAUD!!!

[smooth44]

I have been watching and he has been copying posts from another forum and posting here. Most recently is tonight's pick on Memphis.....I know because it's my post verbatum!!!

Thanks smooth44

for exposing him (or her)!!

That is flat out wrong and immoral for Mr. Hot Picks to do.
If he liked the game and agreed w/ you it would be ok to post just the game..........but not the write-up.

People have been kicked out of school for _______?
What do they call it........I can't think of the offense although it is on the tip of my tongue.

oh yeah.........plagiarism.

I put a ton of time into capping and have no problem with people sharing my picks with others but they should give credit where it's due. Unfortunately, what he didn't post yesterday was that my other top pick was the Memphis 1st half -10....so if you followed his post you lost but had he shared with you the whole story you would have lost the vig only.

I have to admit, I thought the write-up was way off considering that you felt Houston, Tulane and Charlotte were "much better competition" than St Louis, UAB and Louisville.


MEMPHIS -18 (TOP PICK)
It's a TON of wood but hear me out! USF comes into this game with only 9 players and 2 of those players are walk-ons. The team has been in total chaos since starter Bryant went down with a season ending knee injury and fellow starter Baxter walked off the team. USF has played 3 games since and have LOST all 3 by an average margin of 34 POINTS!!! During this stretch their offense has been non-existent hitting only 32% from the floor while their defense is giving up almost 50%!! Mem comes in off 3 straight wins by an average of 17.3 pts and against much better competition!

I think what Smooth44 meant was that Memphis' last 3 opponents: Houston, Tulane, and Charlotte (which they beat by an average of 17 points) were better teams than the South Florida Bulls.

In any event.........I hope smooth44 continues to post in this forum
because the write-ups that he does (like Shorty) are appreciated.
It gives more insight than picks alone.
