POPSTING RULES WHEN FOLLOWING A GOOD CAPPER

These should be unsaid rules on any forum when a good capper is nice enough to post all their plays for the public to see.  Remember, they dont have to do this!

1.  Dont go into their thread and ask them about 6 other games besides the plays they suggest.  Obviously if they liked any other games, or thought there was an advantage on one side, they would probably make it a play of their own!

2.  Dont go into their thread and give 8 reasons why you dislike their play and why their play is going to lose.  No capper can pick 100% winners.  55%-60% winners is excellent.  That means every capper will lose some games.  If you dont agree with them, thats fine, but think how annoying it must be to have to read a bunch of responses with people disagreeing with you.  Remember they arent gaining anything by sharing their plays.

3.  Dont go into their thread and ask for more plays on a given day.  Have you ever heard of the phrase "quality, not quantity".  Anyone asking for more plays should probably call 1-800-Gambler, as your addiction could quite very well be a problem.  The purpose of betting is to make a bet on a game where you feel like you have an edge.  You shouldnt force plays.  That should be like entry level gambling knowledge that everyone should know already!  I see this happening often.  A well respected capper shares their 1 play for the day and 10 people come in asking if there's any more plays.

Sleible, what do you think about heat vs magic game tonight ?

truth

hahahahha!

I also find it especially annoying when people constantly ask the capper to post his/her picks earlier. This needs to be added to the list.

Sleible1 any leans ?

Sleible what's your twitter? Can you accept my friend request? I sent a friend request can you accept it? Can you PM me your picks? I couldn't find you on twitter, what's your name on it? I sent you a friend request did you get it? Are you on facebook? I keep refreshing my inbox but no reply, did you get my PM? If so can you accept my friend request?
 
Haha stuff like this is also very irritating.

also when the capper post their leans.. some people gonna put in the record lol.. remember leans arent picks

As you can see by my info, i havent posted on here much, but i follow the forums everyday, and a few certain cappers over the past 2 years or so.  I see this crap happening all the time, figured id make a thread about it. 

100 000 000 000 000 % agreed...txs for taking your time to wrote all this... 

i agree veronica.

people seem to forget the purpose of this site is to share opinions about sports.  There's nothing better then taking $$ from your sportsbook.  We are not in competition with one another, and i think alotta people think like they are.  If a guy is 52-20 +80 units and will share his plays everyday with the site, then everyone reading it should appreciate the fact that they take the time to actually post their plays and share their thoughts.  Not annoy the shit out of them w negative comments etc.

hahhahahhha just playin brother

I can't help but chuckle. The first time I saw "never force a play" had to be 35 or 40 years ago in Sports Reporter when Rich Bomze owned it and Jeff Sagarin was his computer wiz (also when he had the guru calling him with college basketball plays). It is still as valid as it was then but like Barnum said,"there is a fool born every minute" and we have had another two generations born since then to supply the fools. Nice post.
