    Most of us have a team or two, perhaps your hometown
    team(s) that you follow and see more of than the rest of us, we'll call it local knowledge. I don't have the time to watch or read about every single team every time they play, I don't know anyone who does. But I make it a point to watch the teams I like every chance I get. My point is this forum is to share information so that we make make a more informed decision. If someone in Seattle is watching all the Mariners game, and they actually understand the game of baseball, and are objective, then I want to hear what they have to say. If you just tell me to pick Seattle, I pay it no mind, especially when you have 25-5 the last week written next to it without some explanation.
     
    I feel you no worries21, you just have to sift thru the crap to find the gold.
     
    Bibendi, I read alot of your college football info last year and found it useful and interesting as I do for several others out there. Look past the naysayers' because there are some genuine people out there who really care and want to know. Keep on writing.
     
    None of us are perfect, but some are better than others, at least when it comes to handicapping. 'Nuff said...

    Nice write up Kane

    Clear objective, concise, desired result achieved.  Carry on sir

    All jokes aside one of the reasons I like The Bator, kane, GH types is they do a write up.  When they do not and you ask them a question they have an intelligent answer regarding the play.

    Frankly, I don't have the time anymore... I got a job where I work 60 hrs a week and an 8 month old baby at home that's needy as fuck.  I may write a line or two if there's a compelling reason for a play, but thats it.  Otherwise, I let the units that I bet per play do the talking.

    During CBB two years ago, I had a tout copying and pasting my writeups as his picks and it's a fucking slap in the face when someone does that to you.

    Kane - all good points bro.

    BTW, I think a poster's record is more important than their writeups... as Kane said, it's about results.

    Nice work on this post NoWorries21. Looking around threads this morning(thurs), I see a lot more discussion and people seeing the game from a different point of view. The goal here is to win money, and discussion can only help. I'm headed out the door to Vacation in Maine for a week, but I'll be back soon to talk everyone out of some winners.
