2006 BettorsChat NFL Capping Contest (1st Annual)

[molta02]

I don't know how people wouldn't want to do this. This is an awesome idea. Should be lots of fun.

Why don't you use some of your "Capital" from your service and play. Or just call it "Advertising" fees. What's up? Isn't this the kind of thing you could benefit from???

first things first....great contest Wayne....I am seeing more and more just how hard you work here with all the contests etc...

When would the picks be made "public" for everyone to see?

And if we wanted to use a MNF game, would that be made public on Sunday?

If you read the 1st post you will see that EVERY MNF game has to be played. The weekly picks go out Sunday at 1PM (Kickoff).

Why should that matter John. The biggest and best Hilton contest has the biggest and best services in it and several hundred at that. They post them all by Saturday on their site. PLEASE ... Don't use that "EXCUSE"!

[STaylor36]

It is the $$$ joe. I've run enough of these to know $50 is a ton to most here when it comes right down to it!

It can't be the money. If $50 is too much for a contest that will least the entire season than how much are you betting on an average football game? 5 dollars?

$50 is not much AT ALL for action that will last all year long.

Wayne, while this is a GREAT contest, it would not benefit me.

Why would I want to post my releases lets just say the 4pm games or the Sunday night games let along the MNF games for everyone to see?

It has NOTHING to do with hiding my record or anything shady like that...Spark gets ALL My games that I release so that is not an excuse.

I make my LIVING by selling my picks. I have no other job, no other source of income.

If 300 people view those games a week, thats 300 less people who would have no reason to buy my selections. Right? Cause they can get 1 or 2 or even 4 games for free depending on the game times. That does not benefit me one bit.

I'm in a no win situation with that, and while I appreciate the call out....it really doesn't do anything but lessen my business.

I don't think your willing to post the Sunday games after they start, as the same for Monday, as I wouldn't expect you to do that....I think I will respectfully pass.

Give me a break John. With all due respect, MUCH BIGGER services do it every week at the Hilton contest and they pay $1500 to do so. Even the 1 PM games are posted there a day in advanceGod forbid a BC member getting a 4 pm play from you. What a copout!

P.S.

The 1st Monday has 2 games. How do they know your top play? They don't, they also don't know if you changed your play from Sunday to Monday or if it is a total.

It doesn't shock me in the least john. You talk about being a stand up guy yet are afraid someone might see a play....... TYPICAL SERVICE talk!

[wayne1218]

Capping is what you do for a "Living" John and you can't enter any contests ??? Wow ...

I'm sorry you feel that way.

Thank you again for the invite. I'm sorry that I need to decline.

Why don't you just pick all 1 pm games john? I'm not the only one who said you should be in this.

P.S. If you are that "Tight" with your business then maybe you should keep it all on a professional level and in your own forum where you can "MAKE MONEY"!

The survivor pool. Why are you not in that? This ought to be good ....

[TheRook]

i'll say this one time, please do not JUDGE the way I make my living, or how I use the money I get for my living. I'm sorry that you are upset that I am not entering your contest but like I said before me taking care of my family is FAR more important then entering a contest.

And if $50 is too much for me at this point, who is anyone to tell me otherwise?

Lets not make this personal. We have a good relationship, and I'd hate to ruin it due to something silly like this, but my family comes first and foremost. Period.

Why are you targeting me??? What do I have to do with the success or the failure of this contest? This is getting very harsh and very uncomfortable.


Why don't I pick all the 1pm games? What if I don't like all the games? If I enter a contest, I'd like to win it. That's a waste of $50 IMO.

What about the survivor pool? I simply don't have the money right now to justify any paid pool at the moment!! I told you this personally in an email, and now publicly in an open forum.

I have a lot of other things that my money is going to!!!

Why me Wayne? Is it all from the other thread? I don't understand.

I'm not sorry for assuming you run a service and made money doing it. I guess i was wrong. You get a SHITLOAD of fucken leeway around here John to be everyone's little buddy but in REALITY your still a service and you can't be bothered with this shit. Stay in the place (forum) you came from.

Contest

Wayne- please confirm receipt of my checks for entering this and the fantasy league 2. Thanks.

PS Rook's response doesn't surprise me a bit...he is a typical service except he plays way more games in way more sports than most and we all know what that leads to.

[Spark]

John, that is really a BS reason. All the room we give you here to do what you want and you are above playing in a friggin contest ... I am sorry pal but I would think you would be the first one in there ... Damn, if $50 is the reason I will sponsor you ... How about that???
