Taking some time off.........thanks

[shorty3830]

First of all, i want to say that i am not posting this so all of you that love me will talk me out of it ......

Seriously, last year i gave everything i had to this site in college basketball season and you guys are the absolute greatest bunch of gamblers i have ever picked for.......after the season, as you all know, i would only post spraingly, and luckily, very successfully........it seems this year i am pressing; and due to a recent job switch, i really do not have the time to give you guys what i would like to give.....

as i have said many times, i envy the guys like ez, wayne, rj, spaarkie (i could go on) who post every day and do my best to try and educate the rest of you on the unbelievable service BC provides us with this site........

from now on, i will post sparingly , only when i believe i can contribute and i promise you all that my 10*'s and GOM/GOY's will still be games that i myself bet tons of money on and put up here only because i think we can all benefit from it...............

unfortunately, i do not have the time to post night-in, night-out with the proper research that it takes to provide quality picks......therefore, i will only post picks on the nights i have enough time to look at it and thouroghly contribute like the rest of my colleagues.........

as you all know, i do not really participate in teh bashing or politics of this site and try to encourage everyone to just do their best and encourage others.......i am not leaving, just trying to do what is best for myself and the rest of you............i love all of you, and PROMISE to start making amends for the horrific picks i have put up this season!!!!!!!!!!!!

good luck
b

Shorty, we love you to........in a friendship kind of way. You do what you gotta do. I support your decision 110%. Dont sweat it big guy.

[jordanrules23]

Shorty..........................
your nothing but a class act, and i follow all your plays....c ya soon..

[frankb03]

Shorty GL. It's reassuring that classy guys like yourself have your priorities in order. Work must come before everything but family.

wayne.blind mice

you guys know the respect i have for you, and i hope to never leave............i have never even looked at another gambling site and because the way i have been treated here since day 1, i never will

i just need to make some adjustments in my personal life to keep up the quality product i try and put out for y'all..........

truthfully, i hate to see people like wayne and rj fighting, and i have tried my best to never take sides in these fights that sometimes go on.........i do not even know the issue that separates y'all at the moment, but both of you are very respected around here and provide so much personality.........whatever it is, just solve it and move on, it is better for everyone else if ya do

jordan/frank, i do not think the 2 of you have ever said anything but nice things to me and if i have ever made either of you even 1 dollar, it makes all the postings worth it!!!!!!! at the risk of sounding like someone who has just watched 'brian's song', i really do feel like i know each one of you and in a very strange way , feel like a part of a brotherhood here

thanks

Shorty

your one of the best ..we rocked last year in the college hoops..in time it will come back...your a class act buddy

it takes alot of time to do what we do i run 2 businesses and it's tuff to cap the games..

good luck shorty just don't leave the little family we have here!!!!!!!!!!

[shorty3830]

thanks spaarkie

i have no intention of leaving, and the thing that is the coolest about all of the vets here is that we all know to put family/job first and not one of you ever deviates from that ......... no question, we would all be better cappers if we put this sh*t first but i have been doing it too long to be that stupid.......

i think i have been trying too hard to re-create that magic we all had last year when it seemed like every night we were all killing it...........just need to get back to the basics and do what i can do to contribute,......

either way, headed north for a vacation this weekend, going to visit some family and take some time off...........new job is 50+ hour/week and i am just dyin' for some time off!!!!!!!!!

shorty3830. I am a newbie at posting on this site. I have watched and followed your every post.You, and or nobody knows me here. Total and absolute respect for you. GL, and ya gotta do, what ya gotta do. I will keep my eyes open.
Thank you, and enjoy your free time

Shorty,
I too am new here and don't know you, but what I do know of you is that you are of quality. Your posts of encouragement were part of the reason I post now with confidence, and not confidence of winning, but confidence that the senior members here do wish new members well. It is clearly obvious that your priorties are in order, this is just a hobby. Sometimes you have to step away from something in order to see it more clearly.
Good luck with the new job and when you do get a handle on it I anticipate hearing from you and WINNING from you.
Have a great Holiday and New Year.

Shorty, you know how much your daily posts will be missed.. I for one enjoyed reading your threads .. but the guys are correct .. Family first then your job and then your hobbys ... Great to see you have your priorities in the right place .. best to you and we will be here when you have time post ... Shorty, thanks for being you .. one of the finest members on this board ... Good Luck my friend:D

You've been a "Class Act" from day 1...I've always considered/appreciated/utilized your input...A man must do, what a mans got to do...Personal life/Family is definitely #1...I for one, can appreciate the statement regarding the time it takes to Handicap thoroughly....Very time confusing, and I also know the "lonely-dismal-frustrating" feeling when we put out losers...

You do build a bond with people on this Forum, as I have with the 3 Wise Men, and The Old Kaptains wacky sailings (Crew),...Best to you in all your endeavors, especially Family, and await your future "Posts", when you feel the time is right...Take Care..:cool:

All of us need time off sometimes. Don't blame you there one bite.

Remember this is only for extra cash and there's things that are far more important. :D

Happy Holiday my friend. Enjoy them.
