Then his blood-sucking leeches come out to defend him, when all I was doing was offering my perspective, perhaps more than some like to read.
He never took me seriously, so I started joking about him using nothing but preseason rankings to find 5 unit bets. Well, it's partially true, he has an extreme bias toward teams he valued highly before the season, and there's nothing too bad about it, but when you fall for the same teams over and over and over, not just 1 unit, but 5 units after 5 units on the same team, one has to question himself.
I hope nropp is doing well, and I imagine he's doing ok. I know Wofford is in the NCAA tournament and I'm sure he was riding them throughout the SOCON tournament, but did he have money left beforehand? I don't know, he stopped posting.
I sort of just looked at it as piling on - which I may have been wrong and I will be the first to admit that.
But it was just this kid was starting to fucking tank and thats when everyone starts to offer advice. On top of offering advice, you have people who just want to flame another poster who is losing, so things can get out of hand quick.
I saw you posting these diatribes, at times, to this kid and while it wasnt bad information at all, I looked at it as the ole FU to nropp. Most posters deserve that, but this kid spends so much time it seems, that I would put him above most posters. So to see you tell this kid everything he has been doing wrong, I thought it was silly. He had to know what he was doing wrong, its just as gamblers people put their egos first, so he isnt going to change his ways.
But, I like your posts and I enjoy the dry humor you can provide. As I said, I may have been wrong. I forget how the leeches and sheep come out to blindly defend someone who 'won in the past.' I also wasnt around from the beginning and didnt see him not really taking you seriously. Just as he offers advice and opinions, he should be welcoming of them to his thread.
Good luck moving forward.

BU - Man, I have never seen the WS Trophy in person, color me jealous. Enjoy if you go buddy.
