This guy comes on here and makes these impossible statements. I think he knew when he made them that it will never happen and it's his way of looking for attention. I know, I know, I had my ways too but AFTER the fact. The problem is that most of the guys who come to this site, are looking for a way to pick winners and make money. Most of them are probally losing and are looking for anyway to start winning. They see this post with the statement I can win 72% of my plays, with some plays posted. What are some of these guys going to do when they read this. FOLLOW THIS GUYS PLAYS and lose more money. They may even think this guy is a pot of gold from what he posted and play his picks for more than they usually bet. That's the problem with guys bosting when it's not true. People can get hurt by it.

Originally posted by soonerbudThis forum never ceases to amaze me!! You guys find a new guy, he speaks boldly, he comes out attempting to do something that others say is "impossible" and you just "wear his ass out". Homer, I have soooo much respect for you, and you come in and tell him NO way in hell Minnesota covers on his HUGE play, and a crazy thing happened on Good Friday.....They did cover!! JC, you just kill this kid and where are your picks??? He sucks, but you don't make a pick! Quite frankly,other then the Sandman, has anyone been on fire for the baseball season???? My point is, new cappers come in here, sure some of them make claims that you may not think possible, but to constantly bash them and tell them how "bad" they are what does that do? Make you feel good about yourselves? If he doesn't live up to his 70% I can assure you NO one will feel as bad as him. It just amazes me, and I come here everyday, what asses some of you can be! If you are posting plays and winning, well maybe you have some right to knock the other cappers, but if you are not capping at all. What tells us you could do any better? Atleast he is laying his ass out there daily, win or lose, he is trying to make it happen. That alone deserves atleast fuckin decent treatment!!
And this guy claimed to have hit 70% before and been a capper for 20+ years. As well as stating that he's living in the Bellagio Casino in Vegas. One of his IP #'s is out of Missouri.

Originally posted by BettorsChatYou might not be saying that if you read the thread were I posted he has 2 other IP #'s matching him which are both services that were trying to sell plays on this site. This has happened before someone comes in as a service then comes back with a free name trying to make fame or making BS comments on how they can hit a certain % only find out that they were a service trying to sucker people in. By that meaning once they did well if they did on free plays under the BS name then they would go pay.

Nice job Monte

I agree, I would and DO have a different opinion of him. But two things remain here. One if he has these other IP numbers and if he is thought to be a service, can't you kick him out? Just a question, do the moderators of this site not have that power, are they not here to look out for our best interest? The second is this, whether he is a service or not, some people just love attention. Whether it be negative or not. If he post shit plays, and NO one responds..........period, then he has lost his reason for being here. Myself personally, I look at them, see if I like them (after all it is MY money and MY decision) if I do I play them and win or lose it is my responsibility from there. I didn't write bullshit about any capper when they went on a bad streak, I just think all the bashing accomplishes nothing. Seriously, if you lose money because of someone elses pick, it became YOUR pick when you chose to wager on it!! Sometimes it is like a school yard around here, and all people do is BLAME someone else for their losing money. Its ridiculous!!"Just livin' the dream"

Certainly one has the right of free speech, and any capper can make the claim of hitting 70%+ for whatever his reasons are.
On the other hand, some of us have been around for a long time, and as I stated in another possible it is literally IMPOSSIBLE for ANYONE to maintain that pace over any extended period of time.
Granted anyone can have a slow start and some folks have been a little negative, but remember it was the capper in question himself who made the claim and NOT those who are criticizing him
If he has just come on here quietly and said "I have done well and would like to try to help," then fine. We all would encourage him.
However, when right out of the gate he starts bragging how good he is and does NOT deliver, we have a right to criticize.
I myself have only pointed out in my posts how difficult and unrealistic it is for anyone to claim 70% or to say he can do it;others have chosen to me more vocal. Each to his own.
To me it is no different than if say a football player guarantees and brags his team will defeat another team, his team loses and then fans verbally deride him;it is the old "walk the walk and talk the talk."
And don't forget as others have pointed out, we have seen this scenario many times before where someone makes a claim, doesn't live up to it and/or if he does do well for a while, immediately goes service.
While I myself don't taunt directly as some do, I feel that the latter are well within there right to do so especially when the capper makes a claim and immediately starts off in a less than spectacular fashion.
If this guy turns it around like he says he will, great we will all benefit. Until/if that occurs, I and others remain skeptical and rightfully so.
I prefer the style of the other cappers here-Chuck, Wayne, Sandman, Homer and the countless other folks who put their ass on the line every day WITHOUT the bluster and claims.Last edited by savage1; 04-15-2006, 10:11 AM.

Is this guy the infamous "*******".Didn't he put the thumbs up on his posts and didn't cap his i.
It bothers me that you and others on this site try to help others and some service comes along disguised as an individual.Hope newcomers don't come in and buy in to the hype,only to lose hard earned money.
Keep up the good work and my hats off to all the good guys on the site.Can you get Tony Soprano back?
ThanksLast edited by Goose; 04-15-2006, 11:01 AM.

I think he's a service that hoped to get hot early, even though he said the picks were free, if he started hot you would see him start bitching about everyone on this site and say if anyone still wants my picks contact me at (blah-blah blah) and i will help you out. Now all the none posters would may think hey this guys good and fall into his trap, if he stays bad at his picks he will just drift away and try again some other time under a new name and ip.
