I Was Wrong

[BigWeiner]

That's just the nature of betting on dogs Sandman, nobody thinks they're gonna win until they do, the favorites always look better on paper. You won't get the attention you deserve, but congrats on your winning ways.

I'm sure if you keep starting threads like this every week some people will notice.

Amen brother!

Nice record...but your not going to get respect here by begging for it.

Good luck today.

You guys are heartless!

I've seen people do much worse here for attention.

There are some fine new talent that have little to no exposure and less a following. If B/C has a way to promote and make record of it then the whole site benefits.

Samdman- I know you remember my playing your plays and made memos on my thread

"I thought - damn that Sandman is hot today -he even called my game. Ha OK it was a push and yes when I saw Assevito not being pulled earlier- I would have taken a push.
Nevertheless I am ahead by one unit on totals and for the day. Loss of parlay because I played against Minny on one side- my bad there- just don't play against your system.

I won on TB and am holding for the Cubs with a 2 unit wager.
Its tough out there- Sandman--but you have showed great capping ability in your dogs today and hope other members realize their worth, because I know some have given up on bases today. But it isn't about favorites. Marlon Brando once spoke in a movie about 'Chumps who pick the shiny objects'. GL Sandman"

so I am a Sandman fan - because I seriously suck at sides and good value is presented from your capping skills. I sometimes have hit my betting limit on my own plays and not able to jump on alot.


- Take this as an offer- Dogfather and Spear-it Totals as a thread everyday- we will share the views and keep our records and units. It is a jungle with every topic imaginable that members have to wade thru - either one can start the thread when ready. What do ya say- So many services and cappers pick on the favorites for record status- so we are an anomaly. If I need a pick to get me back some money- I am going to find a good favorite generally and that is the mentality of the betting public. Just as long as I win. Well our records show we can compete - and show a good profit. I just did not win following the favs and lost yesterday on side plays that appeared yummy- so have at it Sandy- if so - let me know.

AGREE AGREE AGREE

give him a friggin break, the guy only picks dogs, is 100% documented, and is up big. And he gets ripped on? big deal, so he wants some attention, who doesn't? Everyone in gambling is ego-tistical to a certain degree.

good luck sandman!! I feel ya bro!

[BigTicket]

oh and by the way he's NOT A SERVICE EITHER

[Icetech]

I tend to only watch posts by a couple people and havn't checked yours before.. BUT with that record i think i shall start And after reading your post i wanted to kick on the flamethrower and have some fun.. but its a good post good luck on the dogs tonight...

[jcindaville]

sandman, dont play the bases, just football and baskets,so i wouldnt notice your picks from anyone elses. betting is a ego thing, when your hot your the man ,and on top of the world. and when your not look at homers post from earlier when he was so fucking mad about schilling blowing that save last nite.i however will know follow your plays just for the shits and giggles, i love playing the dogs in football, soBARK OUT LOUD DOGS FOR THE SANDMAN

hahaha you had to go back to April to find one of your winners...

Just kidding with you the Check ups were awsome for BBall....

[ChuckLazar]

Wayne's right about posting in other threads. That way everyone gets to know you and vice versa. I don't talk to people who don't want to talk to me.

I have played alot of your dogs and enjoy viewing your thread everyday. Mingle around alittle more and I'm sure you'll fit right in with the rest of us Misfits...

Keep up the great work and Good luck tonight.

Wayne. I understand exactly what you are saying and thanks for taking the time to post that. Big Weiner. I know that, but the way you worded it, really hit home. This is why the books make money. It's too bad so many think the favorite will always win and when it dosen't, it's harder for them to get their losses back. When I play my dogs, I don't worry about losing because even if I go 1-2 I'm still close to breakeven. I've only had one day where I went 0-3 and hardly any 0-2 days.

Thanks all for the comments. I just want to try and make one thing clear. My post is NOT ABOUT how many people wish me good luck. It's about what I have done or not done after the fact. There were posts yesterday that implied if Baltimore can win, my picks are for real. They won and I expected some comments, especially after TBay also won Sunday, that yeah, I did pretty good picking and going out on a limb by posting what looked to everyone as two losers. And it's not the first time.

Come football and basketball season I will be relying on all of you to find me some winners. Baseball is the only sport I am good enough at to post plays where I feel anyone following them won't be hurt badly. If I really wanted a lot of attention, I would post football and basketball dog plays too, even if they are probally losers. Then I would get attention and everyone feeling sorry for me. I don't want sorrow, just recoqnition when it's deserved. I'm giving you my baseball knowledge and I'm taking back your football and basketball knowledge. Isn't that what it's all about here.

I expected some flames and I got a couple. So to them, I am NOT BEGGING, I'm only asking what the fuck I have to do to EARN recognition from the people here. But I will say one thing, I have gotten more hits and replies in just a couple of hours that any of my picks have gotten. As for the comment from LoveDoc "Alot of us really dont get the congrats like we deserve!!" Maybe this post can help to change that.

[The Lovedoc]

thank you sandman.... after this post maybe i can be a well respected and recognized member along with you... I appreciate your time and gl the rest of the way for the baseball season...

Now lets concentrate on the mission at hand- kicking some bookie butt. I believe this post helped open some ears and eyes- now if you know how you feel when someone writes in your thread - then you also know what it means to them when you write in their thread. Get em Sandman
