Us mods don't keep track of records but we do have to make sure that posts in the thread don't deviate from criticism of a play/false claims (not against the rules) to personal in nature (against the rules). So we have to go through each thread which is incredibly time consuming. And the covers team has to respond to hundreds of complaints in these threads. When you post 'this won't lose,' 'game of the year,' '150 unit plays' you are inviting criticism, but again, not a violation of rules but neither is criticizing. Since I spend most of my time in this forum, my plan is that if you are going to make claims on your record, but not post your plays in an accountable fashion, I will just move the threads to the penalty box so everyone can say what they want (except for racism) without us having to police the threads. Thanks. Quote Originally Posted by monkeymark5:

Likewise bud, no biggie here, its all good....and I agree w that last part, thats all some people want.... and unfortunately 9 times outta 10, those that want all the attention, are the ones that have no clue whats going on and just looking for clicks...and they use "game of year" and "lock' and those fancy words on every play, so they are hard to take serious....

SB, in the grand scheme of things and mathematically you are correct. You need to realize that this is not the way the average bettor add up his wins. The average bettor just calls a win 1 win and 1 loss as one loss. Sure you may have won more units on a particular win, but for record keeping purposes, the average bettor feels more comfortable using 1 win is 1 win and 1 loss is 1 loss. I hope this helps, good luck my friend.

you just can’t count a -200 ml fave in the same fashion as you would a plus 200 dog. They do not hold the same weight my brother

Lol.. why post that isnt even noteworthy to a penny better lmfao .. if he wins 80 to 90 percent of the time like he claims why isn't it moreTailed straightbets again last week and he must have had a bad week because I only won $2200, week before was almost $5K, week before that was also about $5K.

SB, I started off my last statement with in the grand scheme of things you are CORRECT IN YOUR THINKING. What you need to realize is you are among a lot of average bettors and they prefer not to gamble the way you want to gamble. They want to call 1 win as being 1 win and 1 loss as being 1 loss, no matter how many units you put on it. Sometimes if you feel you are right, you just have to swallow your pride and play the game the way the majority prefers or you will always have problems. As long as you are making money who cares what anyone thinks. Just do your 1 for 1 and count your money brother. Good luck brother

They do not hold the same weight my brother Thanks again!Can we try a week with just 2 plays a day and what kind of winners you might accumulate. Or do both but pick 2 top plays a day. See how that turns out Maybe people would change the way they approach this gambling to really make money. Senior day in Michigan that is what happen So if you win a -240 betting 40 units what would that equal.as mikeru has had many of these.[Quote: Originally Posted bYou will see them do damage in both tournaments.

i know you side with me on this. And I hope my response to you wants taken the wrong way or with the wrong spirit. But I must say. Just because people at covers are boneheads doesn’t mean we all have to be like them.
as long as we count -240 faves in the same weight we count a plus 240 ml dog we are doing everyone(we specially newbies) a huge disservice and reaching them completely the wrong thing.
the only peeps that post ml faves are the dumb and the ones looking to inflate their records because they either are touts or aspire to become one
