Mods, please give me some help in moving this post and thread in the folder that will be best suited to go in to.
I was looking a long time to find the right folder, but I can't pick one, so this is why I'm asking you this.
Thanks!


____________________________________________________

I'm just a relative newbie, since in 2006 and the first part of 2007 I have had well over 400 posts in Rx. Since then I never posted here, and now when I wanted to come back, I have no idea what was my username. :ohno: My bad, but what can I do?
-----------------

What I would like to do with your help is to test a theory/system I was looking it lately and after my short trial should have very good results.

I'm looking to get about 15-20 good enough Rx amateur cappers to participate. The project will be long term, at least 3-4 months. If goes well a lot longer!

They will send me their best pick for the day (yes, just 1 pick per day!), and then I will apply to these picks my system, and post in the thread my selections based on this.
Now I hope this will work out good (as planned, lol) - and in this case, it will be in the detriment of the bookies and for the good of all who will follow the thread.


Here are the conditions, if you would like to participate in this team-work project (I will be more just like a coordinator):

-for the beginning you will need to send your pick by PM-ing me.
This because if you post right here in the thread, and then I'll post my selections based on this, the thread will be very hard to understand for others. Anyways, I will be working out a better way to get your selection, because looking through my PM-s every day it's not the best solution for me.

- of course, when I will be posting your pick used with my system, I will post besides your forum ID, to give you credit

About the picks:

1. Every day just 1 pick, no matter if side (money line) or point spread, or total, but the main issue is that the line (odds) must be between -115 and +115. Nothing else allowed!

2. The pick can be in any US pro sport, or any US college sport, or any soccer game (these soccer games must be from the following first league championships: England, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and USA, or UEFA champions league, or UEFA Cup, or Coppa Libertadores, or European and South American national team official games in European Cup, Coppa America or World Cup qualifiers)

3. The beginning official start time of the game for the day the pick is valid for must be earliest at 7 PM ET (this is new York's time) and latest at 11 PM ET. The only exception are the European soccer games, here they must start latest at 3 PM ET the following day the pick is given for (because of the time difference between North America and Europe).

4. You must submit your pick latest by 6:15 PM ET, but not earlier than 2 PM ET in the day they will count for. The "not earlier" time I have set like this to not have too much of a line change until post time, but we'll still have some. (I will make my post about 15-25 minutes before 7 PM ET each and every day).
Please try your best to send your pick until 6 PM ET.
I will not consider any pick submitted after 6:15 PM ET. (will be like a skipped day, without pick)

5. When you are sending me the pick you should follow this model:

-championship/competition; sport; start time (always in EST time!); team name+city name (of your pick) or if it's a total, than always give the home team's detail here); the spread/total/moneyline value; the line (odds)

-all games will be overtime considered (like in NHL, NBA)_

Examples:
NBA Basketball, 8:00 PM, Toronto Raptors -4.5 -110
NBA Basketball, 10:30 PM, Los Angeles Lakers -115
NHL Hockey, 7:30 PM, New Jersey Devils +115
NHL Hockey, 9:30 PM Vancouver Canucks OVER 5.5 -110
NCAA Basketball, 8:00 PM, Wichita State UNDER 118 -110
NFL Football, 2:00 PM, New York Giants -5.5 -105
Premier League England, Soccer, 2 PM next day, Manchester United -1 +110

6. Lines used will be all from BetJamaica if possible. For soccer games use thegreeek.com (betjam has no soccer).

7. In any given week running Monday to Sunday you must have no more than 2 days without any pick- this is important, so if you're not serious about this, please do not participate. Of course would be great if you can have a pick for every day, but all of us can have days which keep us far from our PC...

8. What needs to be your most important focus on is to try to not lose more than 3 picks in row (in consecutive days). Yeah, I know that this is pretty much impossible in the long run, but at least you can try, lol.... or at least not to have too frequently more than 3 losses in row.
___________

This is all I can recall that may be important to tell you about right now.
If something is not clear, please ask me in the thread or by PM.
I hope it will not take too much time to have the 15-20 guys together who will like to participate.

Oh, almost forget:
If you know some good capper around, and you think they may be interested, please tell them about this thread. Thanks.

Adding to conditions:

Sorry, I forgot this at point 4 (pick submitting time):

Those already posted times will be valid just for weekdays (Monday to Friday). On Saturdays ans Sundays you need to submit your pick latest by 9:30 AM ET, but not earlier than 7 AM ET.

This will not work at all having the thread here.
Not even a single soul PM-ed me.

No people who are capping the different sports can see the thread, because it's very slim chance they will look in this thread.

Well, so much for this experiment at RX. :sad3:
I will need to move in a forum where people have a separate forum area for posting picks on mixed sports, because this thread should work just in that kind of sub-forum...
