It is all a moot point...fraud or not...remarkable capper or not...makes no diff...he is gone and now posting elsewhere...still can't believe the "can't see the forest for the trees" mentality that so many seem to have here, running 0ff someone that goes 3-0 with 3 VERY EZ wins...and define arrogance...I can assure you that depending on your perspective there are many cappers here that post arrogantly...enough of this subject...but there should always be room for a solid capper, regardless of style...

Lots of people start here 2-0 or 3-0. Do you wish them luck or follow .... Or do you just miss the "Hype"?

I don't follow anyone and as a general rule wish everyone the best...that said, from what i saw (and yes it was a "limited" sample of 3 games), Rainman plays very similarly to my style (although his posting style is a little different :-))...fundamentally, he believes that in the long run if you side with vegas you will be on the right side...and look no further than the bright lights of vegas, where they are always tearing down perfectly good hotels and building bigger better ones to confirm he is right...

WOW!...Some big guns on this rainman discussion......sorry, but i missed all the fun from earlier......so don't mind my babbling.....

Looking at it from the outside....i'd agree that this site is about sharing info.....and if the info you got brings us winners then keep bringing it.....but if you try and scam the members and turn into a tout....then the mods will ban your ass.

I never heard of rainman or rainman007.....but i see he's 3-0 so far.....if he keeps bringing winners to this house......let him.

It seems the same thing happened to kuelkat's 20* plays which I don't see here anymore.

Hopefully, the mods can keep the bashing to a minimum.....just let the dude post......if he goes 0-3.....most peeps will be off him anyways.....

aloha!

That's all well and good but it's not a news flash or new invention. We've had many people here play that way.

EZPICKIN, let me ask you a question. Do you think Vegas wins 83% of the bet football games? If not, what make you or anyone think drizzleman can?

[moomoo]

If he was just picking games with the house he will not hit 83%. That I can verify. But with any system there will be good streaks and bad streaks.

[wayne1218]

The funny thing people don't understand is if he started out (0-3) the bashing would be the same. You guys are blinded by 3 picks and can't/won't look at the problems beyond the record. It's easy to state your peace here and come and go with no responsibility to the site, but if you guys were sitting in a different chair and put some glasses on you might see it differently.

seems like the past month or so everyone is way too quick to jump on each other and the way people act is probably doing more harm then good in terms of pushing away productive members vs getting rid of idiot members. people should be a given more of a chance before everyone jumps on them. as much as people want to compare posting styles and grammar blah blah etc noone really knows.. there are coincidences in life, especially when it comes to people posting with poor grammar. i'm sure if it is the same rainman and he was trying to come back as another person he could have been a little more creative in his username. this nonsense is becoming like a witch hunt. i dont think anyone can pick 83% of anything but we should be throwing that in his face after he fails and is given a chance, not when hes 3-0 and banned before he can even attempt to prove himself

Frank,

First off, no vegas doesn't win 83%...but they win a very high rate of games that are very publicly one-sided...and no question his posted record is to say the least questionable...but it is also fair to say there are MANY veteran posters here that make claims that are ridiculous and not believable...so given that, I still contend we should let him post and judge him NOT on his style, but on his results...good luck in the nba...I know you are solid...

Thanks for the well wishes.

What rate do you think Vegas wins the lopsided games? In my opinion it's less than 55%. However, 55% + juice is a yacht load of money.

[ezpickin]

I think games like last night where EVERYONE is on one side is much higher than 55%...in fact, I can think of 8 games this year that fit that profile...the only one that I believe vegas lost was the falcons game, and that one almost got backdoored...
