Dude thats just the way it is around here! Iwent 6-2 +1200 last night and got 1 congrats! People just look and leave it seems like! Youre doing a great job and are one of the best! Tomorrows news,chop,j-man,alan palmer,ego,potter,and some others are also great but dont get much recognition as well! You have to be a mod or something I guess! Keep up the good work though I will be watching! Hey, atleast theres noone bashing you though
C-Lo, i've noticed twice in this thread you have seemed to take "small" shots at me, not really sure why....wasnt aware that i had ever caused you any problem, or made any negative comment towards you or your capping, no reason to....
I don't understand why you make remarks like me being "a big shot" or you have to be a mod to get views......I am a "part time" moderator, and run contests here, thats all....How that makes me a "big shot" i dont know...Many here have met me in Vegas, and hopefully liked me as welll....But i doubt ANYONE would refer to me as a big shot, I'm a down home Midwestern boy who LOVES sports and LOVES gambling.....i simply have posted my plays here for 3 years, i love baseball, and usually am pretty good at it, so i share my plays so others can compare them with the plethora of good cappers we have here and hopefully reach a "winning consensus"......Unlike a lot that have passed through here, i have NEVER CLAIMED to be anything but what i am...I HAVE NEVER told people to follow me blindly, I HAVE NEVER claimed to be the BEST, the 2nd BEST or anything of the sort..........
I rarely go around talking about my capping, except in MY ONE THREAD daily, but i will defend myself on this point today.....I believe there are 4 reasons why i get alot of views this year...........
1. I have been a winner for 3 years here capping baseball....Once you have done it for awhile, people begin to believe its not a fluke, and that you are taking it serious, studying it, researching it, and have a "knack" for it....
2. Consistancy.....The way i play, and "cap" we rarely have HUGE winning days, but more importantly we RARELY EVER have HUGE losing days either....we're not looking to get rich tomorrow, just keep building the profits day by day...I think that appeals to many...
3. Units.......The one thing I am most proud of is the amount of money we have won over the last 3 years, NEVER making a play over 3 units, and only (1) 3 unit play a day, if that, sometimes there are none....There are other guys right now farther ahead than me......A guy could come here tomorrow and have the GAME OF THE CENTURY, 100 UNIT LOCK, and if he hits it, he will already be AHEAD of me in 1 day....But how many people can really bet that way?...Yes, some days i may have upwards of 12-15 units played, but they are divided out, and hardly EVER do we ever lose more than 5 units, even on a real bad day....LOTS of cappers cant say that, and i think that appeals to the smaller bettors like me, that arent loaded.....We dont want to be risking 10 units on one game, and get a blown save, error, etc.....Guys that get farther behind then u look at their card and they have 5 games at 6 units, 4 games at 4 units, there is no way a REAL gambler, can play that way, afford to play that way, or be STUPID ENOUGH to play that way.......
4. Stability.....I post plays every day, almost the same number of plays everyday (unless i really do/dont like a card), about the same number of units risked per day......I play both dogs and fav's, rarely risk on big dogs, but am not afraid of a winner just because its -150.......I dont try to beat you over the head with the plays, or have GAME OF THE YEARS, MORTAL LOCKS, UNCLE SAL TOLD ME TO PLAY THIS, or any of the other gimmicks some use....
So there, u asked, I answered.....
I dont think in one time that someone has congratulated me in a thread or commented on my success, have i failed to mention how many great cappers we have here in bases.....I consider it a team effort, and i compare with others after i post, to see where we stand, and notice what our "key" games are, etc.......I have said many times, u cant have TOO MUCH info, its all good for the player.....
But i must admit C-LO, those comments stood out to me, and felt they might have been unwarranted......
Best of luck anyways, and lets all keep winning....
