trk, remember i asked you to look at my plays for thursday in the contest here,, i went 2-1,, cws(+1.28) winner, Hou(-1.18) loser, SF(+1.18) winner, thanks..

TRK
Have you ever considered dropping the right hand column..??? That's where the root of all the recent problems have originated.

It's obvious that nobody knows how many UNITS these Individuals are really risking.

Just my .02 cents worth.

 

[SSI]

it would work for me, but im up a legitimate amount in the 2nd column,, i have never listed a play for over $500 all year,, i have made 33 plays for $500, with a record of 24-11,, all the rest of my plays have been for less,,, and almost all are for $100.. so to drop it for all, would not be fair, however some of these guys are pure jokes (the way they manipulate the units in the 2nd column)..

 

[raiders72001]

I think dropping the right hand column would be a great idea. Also for the idiots that are wasting TRK's time by making 40 chase plays a night just drop out. TRK is doing a great service by tracking plays and some guys are making a mockery out of it.

 

[ATX]

the right hand column shows if a person is successful at evaluating a line and wagering higher based on value- that is if they dont flat bet. I think the 2nd column is a good indicator for those that want to follow someone's plays, akin to WHIP in bases.

I still dont understand why the columns are in that order, with 'units' wagered being last. If plays were monitored using each wager as a percentage of bankroll, it would solve 90% of the problem. If you lose 100% of BR then you are done.
I figured most people wagered this way, I guess I was wrong. One of the problems is that people remember handicappers having a really good season in one sport, but the money lost in other sports is just as real, and when you add the two together they are incredibly behind. It's irritating to people who care about protecting those who like to follow plays when someone starts chasing, saying we'll get it all back just like in blah-blah-blah from last year, when it's obvious they dont have the slightest edge. And then they are endorsed as being solid, it's really humorous in a sad way, but these are just my thoughts, IMO maybe people want to keep this at a high school level.

 

[raiders72001]

ATX- Your post makes a lot of sense. I too hate the chasing and once you lose 100% of your bankroll you should be done. Some guys lose 2000 units in one sport and win 100 in another and think they are a winner.

 

[Journeyman]

raiders , why waste the energy on it though, it has to be hard to constantly worry about what others are doing, on a side note the ChiSox are back in the hunt,lol...

 

[raiders72001]

White Sox on the move. Only 4 games out.

For you White Sox followers, remember these 2 words.
