Kevy - I actually havent followed you over the years, but i wanted to weigh in because I could see how you could be frustrated. You dont get paid to post here and don't have to do so, so people should not be ignorant and make any negative comments to you or anyone else that takes the time to try to help out fellow gamblers.
I use these forums as a tool, just like i would use any other metric/statistic before i make a bet. People here have good insight and can alert me to a game or total where there is value that i havent noticed before. However, I am still gonna do some due diligence and do some research of my own before i pull the trigger on a bet. I rarely blindly follow, but in the few cases that I have in the past, I tried to follow for the whole season. Because guys can get hot and cold and you never know when you are going to jump on board. And even the best guys can have the occasional losing season, so its on you if you blindly follow and you lose. Getting mad at the guy who is being nice enough to take the time to share his picks is just ridiculous.
Also, alot of these guys, dont even post picks of their own, so don't make comments when you arent contributing anything. Personally, I am still learning this game and don't feel i know enough yet to post my picks on this forum. However, I try my best to share knowledge and insight on a game whenever i have it. In addition, If i notice guys post some info on an injury and my research shows differently, I try to let them know and send out a reliable source etc. I don't want to just take from this site and not provide anything back and that should be everyone's attitude. Because we all need to work together, to win at this thing, which isn't easy to win at.
Thanks for your post and good luck to you on the season. I will definitely be watching now.
