    I post my picks so I can blog my results for the season and also contribute to the forum.  I try to provide any useful info and give insight to why I make the picks I make when I can or if anyone asks.  This is because this is a quality forum of good cappers whose goal is to help each other beat the books over the course of season and to help each other grow and evolve as handicappers.  We can't help each other if no one shares information or picks.

    @ slim04
    why you say that B__Rabbit makes no sense?

    He makes perfect sense. No offence slim but you sound like a really selfish person maybe thats why it makes no sense to you :P If you are good at picking winners then why not to share your plays? It costs you nothing. You cant just always think about yourself, we have to help each other ;)
    Thanks to everyone for their picks and opinions 
    GL with your plays slim!

Different people will different reasons for posting plays here, hell their own reasons for doing that will vary from time to time. A well articulated, seemingly intelligent fellow like yourself would already know this, and would already be able to predict all of the very predictable responses you got. So if I sounded tired and jaded in regards to this type of thread, you will have to excuse me. On mobile, pardon any auto corrections.

    If you are good at what you do (in this case investing in sports and in particular hockey) then why would you give away the information for free here on a message board? 

    Personally I've taken to sharing my picks after the games have started (normally after the 1st period.)  I like to think that I've honed my skills on hockey and NFL over the last several years.  I've grown my bank account and when speaking to people I don't get into the grainy details of how much I wager, but simply speak in terms of units.

    Now I know the "trolls" are probably going to bash me, but honestly I'm looking to start a genuine conversation on the topic.

    Best to everyone!

    Then go be a tout someone and stop posting on a FREE message board.  Tool.

    You know who else is a fraud?  People that post their picks AFTER the games started.
