First off I want to say I have been very busy so I apologize for not getting back to everyone on Monday. Fact is also I needed couple of extra days to confirm my feeling including what I want to do. I truly respect many on here for their support. It has been truly moving. To those that are negative including Cloverleaf and Infuego, I have a few words for you. First I am not thin skinned. I simply don't waste my time and energy dealing with idiots like yourselves anymore. I have more important things to do than to constantly be typing comments on an Internet site , hiding behind a keyboard, 24/7 like you all do. Maybe someday when you pass through puberty you will understand that. In fact I put on my bucket list to see you grow up into fine adults. I wish you the best of luck.

Second many of you are right. I don't want to help people make money off me that have no respect. If you guys truly knew how picking these games has evolved , the time spent, the connections I have made, you would realize it is not throwing darts at the wall to see what sticks. Gambling is not a guarantee. But I do feel that I have created with hard work, connections, due diligence, and instinct a process that has given me and my group an edge. I have shared my plays for free for no other reason but to help people. Getting attention, ego, etc. May have once been a motivator but for me no longer. It's about money, my kids, and trying to reach a level at this that I believe I can get to.

With all this being said here is my decision. I am going to continue to post but I am not going to post my best plays. I will give my second and third tier games for free on this site. To get the best of the best plays, I am going to charge for them. I feel this is best way to still help those that appreciate it and also allows me to weed others out. I am in the process of being set up so that those who would like my best plays can pay to get them. I am not going to advertise on this site out of respect. If you want the best plays you can email me and i will forward the information. Now that this is done lets get on to changing this site to getting it back to what it can be again.

Kojak, you do not know me, but I respect you tremendously. I have never posted on here, nor have I gambled on the NFL for several years. I did years ago and just started to get the "itch" back last year. I did follow your plays last year, but never made a bet. You are a tremendous handicapper on here and I wish you the best in the future. I'm sorry a select few is more or less running you out of this site, but I do understand. I know you will continue to put up winners, and don't have to prove your worth to anyone. Again, thank you for everything that you have done for these handicappers in here. I wish you continued success.
Best wishes,
Just Win Baby!!

Bummer dude, best of luck. Hate seeing another good capper go tout, been a lot of that past few years. The bickering and negativity is too much of a hassle for a lot of guys, cant say I blame ya. Anywho, bring on the 2nd and third teir picks.

One of the few good cappers that I like to learn from. The writing has been on the wall for a while now to everyone that have been getting his plays for free. Charging for them was expected at some point in time. Similar thoughts as Kojack (I just read the RX now for a few posters, Kojack was one). I definitely get not wanting to surround yourself around negative energy. To the people who tell him to just ignore others, when you read it day in and day out it starts to get old really fast, especially when he's not getting paid to post picks in the first place. Some people just don't enjoy being around it all the time. Best of luck Kojack.

You could put those posters on ignore.
You could post in the Tracking forum.
You could go tout.

As other veterans here have voiced, I'm truly saddened this day finally came for KOJAK. Another popular veteran Rxer goes tout.

I've seen this pattern numerous times here at the Rx. It's not a unique set of facts.

Successful handicapper gets lambasted for one thing or another, and uses that incident to springboard to tout.
This way, he's able to charge for plays to weed out those who don't appreciate him. Patently obvious, and it's not
a new game plan by any means.

Chumming the boards with second and tier games for free is a veiled attempt to promote the handicapping service IMO.

The MODERATORS/ADMINS here at the Rx won't care, but any stealth promoting of KOJAK'S new handicapping service via the posting of
"second and third tier plays" should be in the SITE PROMOTIONS FORUM. If they care about the integrity of the individual forums,
this is what they'd do. Yet, I'm pretty sure they'll turn a blind eye to all of this. They make and enforce the rules, so it is what it is.

Anyway, KOJAK, I wish you the best of luck with your new endeavor. Like many, I hoped to not see the day when you become a tout.

WTF?

I never said anything about you at all. I simply said the forum will go on with our without you as I was asked by another poster.

Talk about sensitive man. Look, I'd love for you to be here just like anyone would but you're posting as if you want us to kiss your feet and bring you 32 virgins. I didn't attack you in any of your threads at all. Maybe Cloverfield did but I didn't.

No one pays for plays here, people just tip after a great week. I probably got 5k in tips over the years, its dumb to think people will pay for picks before results. Good Luck to you.

I never understand "Going Tout" but I have only been doing this thing here for 3 years. But if you are good at picking games won't you make plenty of money off of betting them? Also, people that can't handle internet criticism, well thats just the way of the world, and a little free advice, don't go to Twitter lol

Hard to believe this decision was made in 4 days must have been in the back of your mind all along.

Too bad....your insights were valued.

I agree with Bruins if you didn't like the drama throw it up in the tracker forum.

BOL to you
