It would be nice if covers banned droyder...I should not let him get to me...it makes me wonder if either covers or some syndicate pays this guys to create trouble to drive business to their tout sites. Yes, guys, I know I need to pick more dogs. This season has been crazy. This hobby/passion requires 3 things, 1) intelligent capping, 2) luck, and 3) teams to perform close to how they are perceived. I know power ratings, and the performance of teams vary from week to week, but this year, for some reason, it just seems much more variable...and this is good for the books. sometimes I take chances on picks like MTSU last week. They had a 3rd and 5 on their own 25 up 3, with 1:31 left, and they got 4 yards. WKU got the punt, drove it down, kicked a tying FG and won in OT. All MTSU needed was one more yard and the game is over. But, unlike a lot of the ignorant degenerate gamblers who think all their losses (like Trump) are fixed/rigged, I know that bad luck is part of the game. Gentlemen, we have 8 weeks left plus bowl season. Let's work together and figure it out, so we can have profitable seasons!

My friend you do not need to play more dogs. Look at your previous success rate, playing favorites has been very profitable for you. This year has been a very difficult year for damn near everyone. As I posted the other day on a thread, 2 of the most successful posters to ever grace this forum are struggling. One just reached the 50 percentile, and the other one went 1 for 9 this past week.
By the way both of these posters are not posting this year for personal reasons but I still maintain regular contact with them.
SNITCHES end up being bitches, or end up with stitches, and in ditches! #REALITY

Then he creates an alias and comes back like mold.I am on your side all the way! There is no stopping these roaches by the website, you just have to focus your attention on what serves you best.
I misunderstood your personality at first because you come across strong and passionate. It took me back a bit. I am not here to butt heads but its okay to disagree.
I try not to give anyone a hard time because it usually bounces back to me. You reap what you sow right? I believe in that.
Wish you the very best !

I never get caught up in the BS. I'm here for analysis and to talk ball. I'll just skim through nonsense. My theory on the lack of posting, or good posting, is that college football this year has been a crapshoot. Lines are sharp, winning weeks have been few and far between for many great posters. I don't have numbers in front of me but dogs covered around 60% last 2 weeks in college, bad beats galore. Let's face it, for most of us it's been a real crappy year. But at some point we'll pop and kick the books in the nuts. That time starts now!

What I just requested in my message to the administration moments ago is the blocking of the banned posters IP Address. This would make things much much more difficult for the banned person to continually post under new handles since most post from the confines of there home or work.

I got ya my friend. If he continues with his antagonistic behavior I assure you I will have him gone. What I do not understand is I see him posting on the NFL forum and his behavior is nothing like it is on this forum, at least in the posting I read of his on that forum. Very strange, and what brought on his infatuation towards you is mind boggling.

I figure, I'll chime in on here, since I have been a member on this board since 2007, and as you can see from my post count, I don't post very often at all. Mostly because of the silliness you see in some of the great posters threads. There are certain posters on here that I tail...a lot!
To have a knowledgeable poster like Boom leave because of mostly stupidity in his posts (from others), make someone like me, leery of posting. It sucks seeing people, who almost seem like they are waiting on the edge of their seat, to jump all over the wrong picks of some of the very best cappers here.
I'd love to learn the way some of yous come up with your picks. I will say this though, and I think I had posted a few years back. As a beginner - and a resident of Ontario, the easiest (although I am hearing the biggest waste of $ also) is Pro Line lottery - spreads are usually crap, payouts are nowhere near sportsbooks. I actually do want to find a book (online) that works for me.
As an aside, I just got back from Vegas - I won a single game (spread) and a 3 team parlay - all NCAAF. Mind you, and this goes for anything, to win big, you usually have to bet big right...? Well, my $15.00 bet (parlay) turned into $105. Not bad eh?
Maybe I will start posting more, but I feel silly if I am posting my ProLine picks , and comparing them to what you guys are posting.

Just remember Urban the toxic people need you, more than you need them so do your best not to engage them.
They don't enjoy talking to themselves
Agree - But hard to do sometimes. As you may tell, I engage them too often at times because I don't like when the attach guys like Longhorn or play and simply just make stupid useless threads.
But you are correct, it does help to ignore them and yes if they get banned they will be back. I just find it hard to imagine anyone's life so bad that they have to do this stuff
Urban - I agree that blocking the IP would be the best thing. Same as email verification would, so when the user name that uses said email gets banned, then that email can't be used again.
I doubt this would happen as someone said, this is a business and they want those hits on the website

Droyder got butt hurt over one play JDF posted a wrong line on and droyder thinks he lost when JDF says he won. Someone who gets mad over that and goes on a month rampage is not all there in the head. He's not playing with a full deck of cards. There's no reasoning with people with a 12 year olds mentality. Covers needs to quit dragging their feet and ban the idiot. JDF said that's not why be stops posting, but I'm sure it contributed a little. Not many people could stand arguing in every post they make with some dbag. Boom was another asset. He had his quirks but knew football more than 99.999% of people on here. Maybe Droyder is Boom coming to pay back

if there are "real" moderators for covers, they need to their job...they have done nothing...and I will assume that is by plan...otherwise, anyone worth damn, year over year, will find another resource...

I bet some people just didn't have the time that they used to have to go over numbers and write up everything etc. I would think most of the fellas that left probably had thicker skin than to let a few posts get to them too much. Cant let a couple bad apples ruin an otherwise perfectly fine bunch of degenerates. Let's shake off the midseason funk and all try to put together a nice write up or 2 this week.

Longhorn, I couldn't agree with you more. I've thought that very thought
for a long time.

I don't pin it on mods. You gotta have thick skin. Trolls feed off reaction. If you don't reply and just ignore they'll move along. Don't fall into the trap. Plenty of good dialogue going around to get caught up in the nonsense.

To me this is 90 % correct. It does fall on us to have the inner power to not get hurt when someone attacks. It serves no purpose to get involved. Stay focus on the classy people you do give a F>U.CK about. Thats one of the major reasons we are motivated to post anyways right?
The other 10% should be on the site to keep the garbage out but thats not happening. We have no control over that.
This can be a toxic environment if you let it! Stay focus on the good peeps and stay strong and all will be fine.

Gambling can be emotional. You got vicious swings a lot of times. There's people who feed off people losing to bring them down. That's why Jimmy isn't posting anymore. You have to have the confidence in your picks though to not let anyone get in your head. Maintaining the right mindset is key to winning in gambling. Don't let the trolls win by caving to them. Any good gambler knows you'll have some highs, some lows, it's the ones that can maintain consistency that succeed. Don't feed the trolls. Ignore. Move on. Let's win!
