How To Lose $ $85000 in Two Days

[savage1]

Protect the world, Savage. And save the newbies. So do you think people should just follow your advice on how to gamble? Or do you think they should be able to learn from "their" own mistakes and do what "they" want? Since it is their life and money.

Capperjohn-what I give is not just advice but common sense.
Sure I know that many people will disregard my "advice" as you term it and learn the hard way.
On the other hand, maybe just maybe there are a few younger people who haven't done too well and it will recount similar experience for themselves in which they followed a scaled down version of what happened to Larry Loser.
Then perhaps, when they get down again, they might think differently.
Why did you go to school? why go to a doctor or dentist Why not just learn/do everything in life on your own?
It isn't that much different when it comes to giving what I and most consider sound advice when it comes to losing streaks.
ps People post picks on this forum;some play those picks, some fade them and some disregard them.
People can do the same with my opinions.

This hypothetical story may be humorous, but in fact how many of us have done something like this on a much smaller scale sometime in our lives? I sure have and have learned from this painful experience.
If there is a moral, simply remember when you are going bad, keep in mind that your logic/systems are not working, and either cut way back,pass or even go against yourself(who can do that?).

Savage, it amazes me the logic some use when betting a game. I heard someone say the other day they were betting Florida because no way does all 3 undefeated teams lose. I was trying to stress that the early games had nothing to do with the FL/Tenn game.

John, why do you have such a huge problem with some of us trying to pass on our knowledge?

I know as fact that some members appreciate and heed the advice. I talk with and IM many members off site.

Everyone isn't skeptical like you.

Cheech-I remember over twenty years ago there was who was a big Red Sox like me.
They had just lost three in a row to KC, who was pretty bad that year.
Sox were at home, and he said and I remember the words"No way the Sox lose four in a row to this team." I am sure you know what happened. Lets just say it was a while before the guy gambled again.

What a moronic statement. You or anyone can pass on their supposed knowledge (even though it's more of experiences than knowledge). But others like myself can pass along my opinion that I think people should be responsible for their own actions/consequences. How is that skepticism?
So lots of people off site were going to double-up and chase their losses but they read posts on a "gambling" website and went back to sound money management huh?

So anyone with a "system" that says bet on a team after a three game losing streak shouldn't play it?

Again you are missing the point;of course the game could have won.
But the guy wasn't using systems believe me, he was just making a categorical statement that Sox could not lose four in a row to a bad team.
If you look over the example with Larry Loser, you will see it is not that much different.
I agree that people should be responsible for their own actions, BUT that does NOT mean that someone who has experienced losing streaks cannot comment on what has happened/could happen based on those experiences.
Why did Nomar Garciaparra spend hours talking with Ted Williams(one of my boyhood heros) before he died?Nomar was a great hitter in Boston;why should he need advice?
The point is that I have learned from my mistakes BUT ALSO from others usually older like my father
Sometimes I heeded their advice sometimes I didn't and said to myself "What do they know."
In retrospect in many more cases than not I should have heeded their advice when I chose not to.
I learn new things every day, and I try to teach something when I think it is appropriate such as in this thread.

Come on guys enough, you both made your points.

Does someone now have to become the defender from the person defending from the defender of the stupid??

I'm gonna lock this thread up.

When BC members play the selections of fellow BC cappers that is heeding their advice, experience and knowledge

Experience is knowledge. Knowledge comes from experience.

You didn't answer my earlier question. Why do you have a problem when some members try to pass along their 'experiences'?

[capperjohn1]

So Savage, what are your thoughts on rated plays and money management? Do you think it's wise to play different amounts on games? Hit good %'s but still lose money? I ask b/c in my opinion, that is very similiar to chasing. More eggs are in one basket (game) then others. I think it smarter to bet the same amount on all games. But do you think my knowledge/experience should tell Wayne or RJ or HJ or anyone that plays that way to stop? Or should I start threads telling them what to do based on MY experience? B/c we both know Larry could be out there and see a GOY or TOY or 10* or 50* and play that game only and lose. The what? Back to selling crack or whatever else happens to stupid Larry...

Bill, anytime myself or other BC member pass on their advice or 'experiences' CapperJohn takes exception to it.

Please explain to me where I say I have a problem with members passing along experiences? Savage can have his, I can have mine. They don't have to agree do they? Only a moron would think that.

Fuck off Frank and don't tell anyone what I do or don't do. I have every right to my opinion just like everyone else, moron. And remember who starting the name calling first.

I player per my rating.

John, here's where you miss the point. Telling Wayne, RJ or Hoops how to bet isn't going to change them. However, there are many BC members with little experience that don't know how to bet. Over time they'll form their own opinion.

It's your opinion that spreading experience and knowledge is a waste of time. It's my opinion that spreading knowledge has positive results.

We are each entitled to our opinions.
