How true big One...
That is what I was saying all along...I still couldnt understand, that with all the units being won by some,...would they need to get into someone else's business and start to create and spread negativity and BS....Simply doesnt make any sense, especially if your really winning Big like you claim....I mean who would have the need,want, energy, time, desire, etc...to even waste their time with getting involved in BS slander campaign against another...You would think that they would be to preoccupied with enjoying the fruits of their labor to its full extent, Right!..
Well, maybe things posted here(plays) and things actually done in the real life(betting them) is not really what is happening at all as one claims....I mean, C'mon on, I play a lot of games, but just like when I go to Vegas and start the with the early games on the board, I continue on with the rest, throughout the day, if they work out after capping them to be worth a shot to invest in, and my day wagering would be run this way.....But Hello, posting 40+ plays in one day, almost everyday by some, is a little ridiculous....I mean, who the **** is actually going to play 40+ fvckin games at one time.....But I cannot confirm this and I do not know for sure, so I will just leave it at that...
Another problem is, is that everyone thinks that everyone here does and plays and caps the same way, and that is simply not true at all...Plus some here is in to trying to fill their need for praise or attention from others, through their records they acquire...Really, for what?...I mean, everyone needs recognition and some will even die for it, as it is what makes us feel good...but come on, after you get it on a consistant basis, then that should already tell you how others see you...The amount of consistant views day in and day out over a long time that you get also is another way that should give you feedback as to your value as a capper here...Problem is,is that some here, after they get in a winning streak or gets praised by others for a good day, start to get arrogant and addicted to this attention, I can admit I did when I first came here, but I have been there and done that so its good old news for me and the current constant views and comments I still get is all I need to know that others still see me as being of value and worthwhile...Still, for some this is not enough and they go on to now battle other cappers for the TOP capper here, instead of realizing that anyone here, who shares what they know for us all is not our enemy but our Alie(sp), against the real enemy, the Man and only the Man...Some posters here, then become to caught up in competing with other cappers, and then start to resort to a slanderous campaign against him or them...Simply stupid...But, like I stated to some, although your winning in bases, you obviously have voids in your life that takes away from you enjoying your success, and thus one then falsely believes that they can get whatever it is they need, through tearing down of another poster here....It wont work, and in reality when one resorts to this, he will actually be tearing his own self down even more...
Like I mentioned before, records is a nice way of seeing how one is doing on the year, but it doesnt reflect how one will continue to do for the rest of the year or even for today...I am not saying this to justify my down record in MLB or any record for that matter....I am just saying that although records are good to see ones successes, we still need to battle the Man again today, and the best way is through sharing with eachother not just records, but also info, insights, knowledge, etc with eachother....I came here to share and get information from others, information and insights that I was not able to recognize or think of myself...Also, the stats and trends and other infor on teams, players, situations, is what also has been a big value for me to be able to acquire...I in turn, have provide the same here as my way of giving back and contributing something that is worth while to others and something that most people here would not know of or be able to acquire...I did this a lot in FB, especially concerning Hawaii, and also in CBB, my two strongest sports....So the wheel of knowledge, information, insights, so to speak, would continue to spin, and that is how as one forum, we could become a force against the Man....
When we start putting others down because they are down on the day, month, year, etc..or when we start making our need to fill those voids in our lives and/or start buying our successes that we think we are the deal and the only one that matters, thinking also that others owe us something because of the winning plays we posted, which no one does, then we all lose our ability to help eachother will beating the Man, and this is exactly what he wants to happen...Egos, insecurities, jealousy, etc, gets in the way of why you came here in the first place and that will cause more chaos and the eventual fall in the value of this place and the good cappers and posters will slowly, but surely, leave to go to another forum that is still remembering and working together to battle the Man and not eachother...
I dont have a problem with anyone here on how and what he wants or choses to post, as long as it is not a lie against another or a slanderous campaign that is promoted against another, because of this persons own personal feelings towards a particular capper/poster....Who the hell cares?...and why do you care so much?...Those that carry on with the bashing is simply worthless and useless to this place...It is hard enough trying to cap out winning plays, yet have to be able to keep you head staighth and deal with assholes spreading their weaknesses, jealousies, and insecurities about another....Hey, if you dont like someone or agree with someones methods, then simply stay the fvck out of his threads, and continue on your way looking for posters who you do agree with...No one here is going to change anyone, yet many here with their arrogance actions, think that they can...For what?...Your need to makie the world like how you see it should be.....Please, you better wake up and realize that the world dont revolve around you and that if you ever want to get respect from others and want them to accept your differences, opinions, and ways, then you better learn how to be more accepting and more able to live a life knowing that each person is in control of themselves and not you....Learn to live your own life on your own merits and achievements, stay positive, learn to give support and encouragements, and dont anything with the sole intent of hurting someone, and you shall get the same in return...Believe That!...but spread your negativity and your only going to get it back....And Gang, if we allow negative people(bashers) to spread their shit all over the place, it will spread like cancer and then we all we be hurt by it...
Just know, that eventhough you may have a disagreement or dont like how one choses to live their own life, is no reason for you to put them down....The fact to the matter is, just like how you dont like something about another, you can be pretty sure that you as well have things about you that do not sit well with others...Also, remember Gang, it is so much easier to get mad and complain about what another does or doesnt do, then it is to get mad at ourselves and see what we are not doing or havent done...Take a step back and realize that all that matters is that you do the best that you can to make you happy....You wont find it through tearing down another....You will find it buy building up one another....With Positive, you get Positive...With Negative, we all lose.....
I am not going to ask anyone to change or do something different then they already do here....All I am suggesting is that for this place to be the best and provide the best for everyone to benefit from against the Man, is that we all help in sharing more of what we know....If you just post plays and just records, then that is fine, but can we share more info on why it is that you like the play....It doesnt have to be a long ass writeup like I do....Even I go over board at times, but I just want to be sure everyone got all the Major and some minor reasons to why I am banging a play so huge before they just jump on board....But doing this, I know it helps to bring someone more peace and confidence in chosing to follow a play or not....That is a good feeling to have, as this business is stressful enough...What I came to also realize on another forum, as well as here, is most people though they are aware of someones successful record, they are also in need of knowing and acquiring what is it about a particular play that is giving you confidence in it...Remember Gang, your records reflecting the past whether its up or down, is a record that is representative of that particular situation, and each day and each game as we all know is a totally different situation most times and a new battle....and thats why the need for us to share as much of our thoughts, infor, insights, etc....can help us all to see if we are all on the same page and thus validate a play and not a capper, on what is a strong play or not....Sharing a word, a sentence or two, is all that is needed....If you want to share more, then by all means do it....There is a saying, "by teaching we all become smarter and better"...So if we all helped eachother out by teaching(sharing of info and insights) then we could all benefit and all become that much more of a force against the Man...Now I know that others dont have the time to do writeups, but like a mentioned, a few words, a few sentences, does a lot to help believe me.
Remember Gang, The Man is our enemy, and not each other...Lets work together and make sure that we stay ahead of the game against him....If you must battle though, just ask yourself first, what are you going to benefit from doing it, and then, is it worthwhile for you to do it...Then take it from there, but remember also, to Live and Let Live, and to each his own......May we all be successful in all we chose to do...and may we all find success against our true enemies and not against those that may look like our enemies, when really they are not...Best of Luck ALL and Aloha CC.
BTW, this is just my opinion...TFWIW.
