Why doesnt anyone post reasoning behind plays?

Come now. This is ridiculous and I agree it is completely useless. Just like some of the trends these people post. But sometimes it helps when you talk about day v. night numbers or say you like a dog because the other team has 5 hitters batting over .300 against their ace that is going that night. Understandably there are sometimes too many reasons to post them all or a bunch of small leans lead to play. I love it when I have a lean and someone posts something about a certain guys success or lack of in that game that I may of missed.

And frankly, most of the discussions in here turns into kids berating eachother when they cross opposing point of views.

And storm of emoticon abuse ensues.

This is great point and is exactly what I think is so ridiculous but there are a few guys in here that have great angles and are good cappers and it helps to know why they are playing something and not just what. You can tell imediately who the idiot "kids" are.

truth hurts, but u my friend are right

the only good handicappers are the ones with good money management, controlled gambling, only gambling 1 2 the most 3 picks per day and a little luck

 

yea dude, for real.  im 23 and have been around huge gamblers my whole life, and people think getting umpire charts and all this bullshit matters, even in basketball with who is reffereeing a game. people think that if a refferee is doing a game then it will go over the total, nope, wrong... its up to the players and if they want to play defense that night or not. IT doesnt matter at all.  you dont know whos going to hit a 3 run HR which will be the difference in the game. its a different player every night to step up weather its the team you bet or the team you bet against. for example - you could have posted 3 pages about how the red sox were going to win last night and how they have the best bullpen in the league,... well not last night.  baseball players are human, even the best in the game are going to serve up a meatball or 2 costing them a few runs which will be the game. noone ever would have predicted cliff lee was going to let up 4 runs in the 1st inning to the white sox last night. some 1 tell me im wrong

And conversely to the "kids" bickering, its tough to find anything of substance because most threads are litterred with emoticon abuse. Generally, its a forum of adult male degenerates "blowing" eachother in circles with 'handshake' & 'congulatory' emoticons.

I'm not a pessimist; otherwise i wouldn't call myself 'Happy'', but there is a lot of crap you have to wade through in this forum on a daily basis.

I'm done. Ciao.

estes, that's the thing. Nobody knows how long anyone caps a game if there is no write-up. Could be 2 seconds, or 2 hours. Some of the older members may have put a lot of time into write-ups in the past, so they have 'proven" themself to a point.

Personally, I enjoy reading write-ups. Don't care if I'm on or against the pick. Of course, some of them are jibberish, but even those can be entertaining.

I'd encourage every relative newcomer around here to post some reasoning with their picks - even if it is one sentence outlining an important consideration towards a game. That way the rest of the board can determine if the poster is throwing darts, or has some concept of capping, value etc..

Forget the flashy Thread Titles, and put some effort into a writing up an opinion. That way, if it is 'respect" you are after old timers will find you eventually. Realize that there are many different motivations for posting here. But if the bottom line is helping yourself/others make a few crumbs by beating the books, write-ups are a way to go.

Good ole fashion cappin'

Finally feel like someone agrees.

And...the #1 reason!

or 7 years !!!!...... you just gotta learn to ignore that stuff...the haters and the attention hounds and the ones who start shit for no reason....many losers come and go daily on this site.....

bibendi is correct.....people either wanna tail you or already have their mind made up, so a long explaination of your play helps no one.....the pick is all that matters and with a good record to back it up that really all you need.....after all, most bets come down to a few things.....home/away, momentum and key players .....most of which are obvious enough, but none make a winner black and white......
