dude, I have 2nd half system plays that I use. I explained how a few work in a thread a couple days ago, and follow that. If you think I follow n e ones plays ur crazy. I do my system plays, and do what I call "value" plays. Stick around and watch them all. You might like

Hoops, don't need to explain anything buddy. Tell everyone that they are your plays.. If they want to follow them good, if not, even better because just in case they don't win you don't have to hear all the bitching....Originally posted by HoopsjunkieComment

To the Deano Bashers At This Site,Originally posted by JAY
I thinks it's time to let the DEANO bashing go. His plays are nothing close to Hoops. He did it for one week and got
blasted for it. Why don't you blast Kapusta Dubpoet now?

Gris, I believe the frustration is caused for 2 reasons:Originally posted by griswold
First, the guys that have been following him from the beginning expect him to continue at a 65% to 70% rate. Most of the experienced guys know that'll never happen.
Second, the guys that jumped on board late and missed the early run are frustrated because they are not making any money.Comment

There's probably lots of truth to that. However, Hoops should shoulder some of the blame. He sits in his threads all night. He's made himself available practically 24/7. It's natural for guys to ask his opinions. Chances are if I didn't like a game in the afternoon I'm not going to like it 5 minutes before tipoff.Originally posted by KazDogComment

Everyone just relax. Part of the problem is there is no tone in what is typed and people are taking some things the wrong way. Others are afraid he will quit posting, thus killing the golden goose.
Kapt. "Demolishers" have gotten away from him a little as well. First there was one every other day now 3-5 every day. They are not hitting as well of late but I will sail with him every day as he will right the ship, just as a reduced play until then.
It's up to the individual to decide what he/she will play. Let's use our brains a little and not get so oversensitive. He's not being picked on and he's a big boy, he can defend himself if he needs to. Now, let's make some money.Last edited by Meathead; 01-21-2006, 01:46 PM.Comment

He didn't lose any of you anything....He didn't put your $$$ into your book, you did......This is what I'm talking about......Originally posted by meaiken

It was just yesterday that I asked Hoops to please post his records and the reasons why. He replied that he will do this in the future, but needs a couple of days before he can find the time to put the info together. Then the very next day, this thread is started. Had Hoops NOT agreed to start posting all of his records, then I would agree with the timing of this thread. But he said he would, so give him a chance to do this.
I do agree that he is posting way too many plays, especially second half plays. It appears after going 0-3 so far today, that the tide is turning, or has turned, on his second half plays. I've been wondering how he can do his second half picks justice, with so little time to find them. Up to now he has, but can he keep this up. I don't think anyone could continue to find such a high percentage of winners, especially with such a short time to find them before the second half starts. At the same time, he has reduced the number of full game plays and may have begun to end his slump with his full game plays.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY HAVING HIS RECORDS IS SO IMPORTANT. After this morning, I'm finished playing his second half plays, although, for now, I will keep playing his full game plays, especially since he has cut down the number of plays. Then I'll let his records tell me which of his plays to play and for how much. Hoops, you have been on an incredible hot streak and a lot of it is due to luck, but even with luck, you sttill have to be a very good handicapper to be that hot.
It's like the old Kenny Rodgers song. You have to know when to hold them, know when to fold them. It's the same with Hoops plays. You have to know when to play them, know when to pass on them and now that he will start posting his records, this should be easier to do.Comment

Let the Old Kapt give you guys a suggestion....
I'll take my plays, look at a few good cappers plays here, i. e., FrankB, Wayne, Homer, Spark, Big Weiner, LineMover, Monte, Spearit, CoverBoy, GoldVike, Motor City Pimp, Shorty 38, and so many more.....
If we agree, I'll think of enhancing my * ratings....If we disagree, I don't go against em....Have done so in the past, and it's 50-50....give or take.....
What I'm saying is, you don't necessarily have to play all Hoops picks, pick your own, and when you disagree with him, lay off.....I've always played a lot of games, cause it's how I do it....I lay em all out there, let em win or lose, don't chase....
I'll have a good or bad day day, Hoops will also....However; theres an in between with him---he may go 9-2 or 5-6 where the loss is minimal....I'll go 10-1 or 2-9 where the loss is devastating........
He'el get back on a roll----my point is, play to not go against him........not necessarily all the way with him...........
PS---my Demolishers are one of 2 things---win or lose....in streaks.....always had at least one demolisher, which meant just my POD....theres days where I can't differenciate the top plays, so I indicate em all as 10* plays....had 2 days in a row where I played 3 each, and went 6-0....Had a day where I had 5, and went 1-4....which one do we remember----the 1-4 naturaly....Demolishers now stand 53/33, or @ 60 %.....I'll take that year round.........
Each to his own---different strokes for different folks.........Lets let him turn this around.......Patience.....
It's tough to throw your plays out there, leaving yourself wide open for criticism....
Notice I haven't changed the amt of games I play, (plenty), besides receiving numerous criticisms........
It'll all turn out OK........PS---I don't hide anything---when I have a bad day, I come out and tell ya....when I'm cold, I warn ya.............
Some people say they started keeping records because others asked for it....well keeping a record, with out showing the last day you updated it, or not updating for a few weeks, is useless...
I haven't updated mine in 3 days---but I tell you that---any one can back track just 3 days, and see for themselves.......And for the record, when you play the amt of games I play, it's a pain in the ass to update.......Heaven forbid if you make a mistake, which goes in your favor, you'll hear about it....No problem with someone helping correct a mistake, but it's the way it's presented to ya.....
Hoops will come out with his Record---as he Told The SandMan he would. Lets give him time...
I still say you're better off not going against him, than you are totaly following him....kaptLast edited by Kaptain; 01-21-2006, 03:54 PM.
