What is this trend of handicappers here buying out of their posted plays?

[ofred]

Better to post that you bought off a posted play when you did, then to say nothing. Just don't do it right before game time.

 

[Enfuego]

Ppl are replying but your replies back are saying you are about all this! Why didn’t u just come out and say which poster it was ? Not hide and say many posters changing there bet ?

Huh?

I’ve seen three separate guys do it in the last week or so.

Agree or just don’t post the play?

 

[halekulani]

Then don’t post plays if you’re going to flip flop right?

Well if we were all prophets we would have posted plays right the first time.

Haha, no shit right?

I've seen it a few times here today.

Guy posts team A then later comes in and says he bought out of the game and took team B. WTF? Do you all do this at a sportsbook? Make a play then shit yourself and play the other side at the counter? I've never seen anyone do that.

Guys, I've been here at the RX a long time and I find this kind of disturbing. Some of you guys are decent cappers and some of you get hot. When you're on a streak, people blindly follow your plays. Now, I'm not saying the player doesn't accept some of the responsibility of making the play but come on, if you post a play, don't come in at the last second and and change the play. Some guy may have put money on team A then went to work and had no clue you bought out? It's borderline unethical.

Am I crazy here? If you're going to post the play, post the play and call it a day.

Thoughts?

"Shit yourself"...
"kind of disturbing"....
"Borderline unethical"...

If you blindly follow anyone YOU are the only person responsible for YOUR play on your account.

There are plenty of good reasons to buy out or hedge a bet but NO good reasons for you to say what you
did.

I didn’t create this thread because I blindly followed anyone. I also made it clear players are responsible for their own plays.

Just repeating what you typed.

Maybe someone other than Kaboom does this, but here are
the facts.

He is a $5 to $20 player.
He plays trends.
He's posting plays before most people are awake.

He shows his results, just not in $ amounts.

Because he posts so early, things change to make him uncomfortable
with original wager so he buys out/cancels.

So now, he or anyone else who may be doing this, spending research time
to post FREE winning plays may say the hell with it and stop.

What was the purpose of your post other than to embarrass someone??

IF you are upset because you lost a bet and missed a post to cancel than just
say you wish you had more time to check a guys post.

Any wonder why decent people stop posting plays??

Be better than that Enfuego.

1) I'm not trying to embarrass anyone. Many guys here do it. If they buy out of their plays, I don't think they find it embarrassing or I don't think they have a problem doing it. Just posed the question to see if anyone takes issue with it. That's all. Don't read into anything.

2) Haha, I've said it twice now...I didn't play any of these plays. Not about me canceling or anything like that. Don't know why it seems I'm upset because I'm not at all.

3) Be better than what? This is a forum. I asked a simple question I'm sure some others are thinking but won't ask. Sorry I asked a simple question. I think it's unethical to post a play then to come in at the last second saying you bought out of the play but that's just me. I understand if others feel differently. It's not a big deal.

 

[TimmyRules]

Okay, appreciate the respectful reply.

Good luck the rest of the Bowl season.

did you read your first post?
it wasn't a simple question
you clearly had an opinion on what you thought was wrong about it and most of the people replying are disagreeing with you

 

[tlee4lizard]

Buying out is the cappers choice just like following poster is someone's choice ... You take the good with the bad that's why they call it gambling ...
You know the old saying " a gamblers money has no home "
You hot on top of the world then you can't pick your nose.. it's I ruff ruff job.. hence do it for entertainment not to make a fortune because we as couch cappers don't have access to the info insiders do.. there is no sure bet ..
Best of luck and happy capping to all..

 

[exploited17]

Buying out is fine during the game. Especially if an injury happens to the QB. I have only ever done it once.=. That was a game I shouldn't have Ironically every other time I say I should I was right but didn't. Can't understand someone changing their mind an hour before after making the play with no huge injury or change. But is their choice.

No, totally understand. I'm really talking about posting a play a few days before kickoff then coming back before the game and posting you bought out of your original play. Then, a guy that maybe follows your plays and put the original play in earlier in the week, is fucked if he's out partying or whatever.

Yeah, well said.

I have an opinion sure. I find it unethical. I come from the old school forum where when you post a play, that's your play win or lose.

Just wanted to know if there are others that feel the same? That's all.

Sounds like he’s making a simple observation in that this forum over the years has generally not been subject to a flip-form of capping on a somewhat large scale. Bowl season, though, is always “interesting” here, to be sure. Ultimately I too am trying to wade through the bs and the real. -gl

Summed up perfectly. You hit the nail on the head. No big deal either way.

Tell me the culprits and I’ll give you the reason

Well, one for sure is poster Kaboom but before anyone jumps on me, I addressed it with Kaboom at the start of the CFB season and he actually agreed with me.

Kaboom is a great guy and a very valuable asset to this forum so please don't take it the wrong way.

Another is this Freak guy. I don't know him.
