Its a shame because Im sure theres some really good insight on here but its buried by people making picks with no explanation or insight.
Why do people feel a need to start a thread just to post their picks and nothing else - no reasoning behind their views its just totally pointless. Then you get about 30 replies with people either agreeing or disagreeing (again with no explanation as to why they feel their pick will win) - What a waste of time !!
Then you get the other people who just want to feed their ego and promote some idiotic system which has no merits on line movements. It probably got lucky and hit for about a week and now its the future of betting - what a joke !
Betting is about research and finding value over the long term. I think theres too many people here looking for the big win and losing their banks every week before depositing their paycheck into their favorite bookmaker again a week later.

I don't see why people who post there picks should give you a writeup, if there record speaks for itself then that should be enough. What someone is writing you might disagree with anyway, half the time I do a writeup and half the time I do not.
As devilfan said, this thread is useless.

Some people just like to track their play and are not out to impress jagovs like you. Just b/c posts a play w/o a write-up doesn't mean they flipped a fucking coin.

Point in posting your play is to have in it in record on this forum. Alot of people cruise the forum looking for insight and ''top cappers''. How else are you going to know who they are unless there is a verifiable record of their hits? After all, we are united in one goal..to slam the book.

with the number of posters on here how is that truly measured ? I can say I have a 12-4 record on here is anyone actually gonna go back and look at the threads to say any different ? highly unlikely. And fair enough if thats a reason to post your play then why not post it in one of the 40 theads already created for that game rather than making ANOTHER new one just to post an unreasoned pick ?
Maybe some of you can recommend some respected posters so I can read their threads. Im not trying to be a butt hole about this forum I was just getting annoyed with clicking on thread after thread and just getting nothing out of it time after time.

Why does there have to be a point to everything? I typically don't write up, just post my plays. It's easier to track them here. If there is something interesting or worthwhile, then I'll write it up w/ my pick. After all the research and capping and shit, I don't really have the time to write-up however many games I am playing (Which has been WAY too many lately BTW).
Besides, after awhile you know whose threads to go into and whose not to go into. I would rather have someone not write something up, than to read two paragraphs of shit I already know or stuff that's inaccurate anyway. There are about 8 or 9 guys whose threads I look at after I have done my capping and I'd say about half of them don't write up either.
I guess my point is I have never thought the forum was "aweful" b/c not everyone writes up every game. Half of the guys who write shit up are either repeating stuff I've already read or are just writing shit like "This team is due" and "Public money this" and "bullshit system that"
IMO

Yep, sorry I was a little abrasive there at the beginning. I would just say there are very good cappers here and, although we all need info to make decisions, I tend to do that as part of my capping process prior to looking at anyone elses threads.

Not everyone has the time to explain every pick or the majority of their picks. Are picks w/o explanation a waste of time? They are if the poster doesn't include their posted record Look at the cappers w/ good records and don't worry about the write-up that has allready been posted usally several times on the board. Want to talk about a waste of time? Spending a half hour of your day preparing a write-up that only a few idiots respond to. Your record will bring the quality conservation u are looking for. Do your research and find the quality cappers and the follow them.

the game discussion forum is more civil and most people are actually talking about the game.
some of the most respected posters dont do write-ups. max-58, rush.
plus most all of the info is out there, how many times do you need to hear tom brady and the patriots can score? or the bengals defense sucks. oh yeah well the bengals can beat anybody if theyre on. oh yeah well they cant stop the patriots. well then the patriots cant stop them. oh yeah, 38-17 last year. the browns beat the bengals, and scored 51, rudy johnsons out.
what do you want to hear man?
