Why do certain posters say how much money they have on a game??

[spreadbeater]

The one that comes to mind is Mr. Newlywed.....guy claims to bet thousands on games. Yet, he loses constantly. Then when he wins a contest, I think he won under $50, he creates a thread asking Wil when his account will be credited. That guy is a joke.

 

[Matt]

The worst IMO is the guys who have 50 units on one game and then still post 1-3 unit games...I mean WTF, are you really betting 50 and 1 unit games, I sure hope not, but why would you even say you are?

Don't mean to be a prick because I get along with the guy fine, but MistaFlava immediately comes to mind here. The guy knows a ton about hockey, college sports, hell most all leagues and I enjoy reading his write-ups, I know he does put a lot of time into it. But when he posts a 100u play the same night as a 1u play, it looks a little odd to me. I mean, apparently this is just to show how much he likes a play, but if u really do that much better on your large plays why wouldn't you just play them? JMO.

 

[Dawoofdaddy]

any poster who lists a dollar amount for his plays is lying .

every damn one of them...

i would be willing to bet the average bet size for anything posted in the sports rooms is less than $ 100 .

Thats not true. I posted dollar amounts sometimes when I started here and never exaggerated.

After being here a while realized there was no point with doing such.

I see Jman posting his bases bets as dollar amounts and assume its actual bets not air/monopoly action.

I disagree with the lying part. Of course there are some people that throw around big #'s to try to give themselves credibility, but that's not always the case.

I'd actually prefer to see units and a $/unit listed(ideal world). We have posters that surely range from extremely wealthy to borderline broke college students.

There are always phonies, but I don't think it's anywhere near as many as you think.

Banko and Triple Banko..pretty easy concept to follow. About Mid-Season if the Triples are doing well during football GoGo will personally play them at a higher unit ratio than 3-1. Over many years this has been a very successful betting system and don't foresee ever changing it.

This is clearly all proportionately speaking. I know a bunch of guys personally in this biz... and just to give you their range of bankroll... one legit puts $500-$1000 on a given game. One puts 2-3 dimes. Legit. Then I have my other buddies with $50 bankrolls... it's all good.

Meanwhile, I have slowly gone from the $10 bettor to the $100 bettor and have made no bones about it. I like to quantify things... As I told my girlfriend: I'd like to win the ability to take her on a cruise next year. So I look at 1 unit as 1/10 of a cruise! That being said, I guess I can almost take her on 2 cruises with my earnings so far in the AFL... but we're not gonna tell AFLGuruChick that part of it ope:

 

[Dawoofdaddy]

Dollar amount means absolutely nothing when posting plays. And even better is when they cut and paste the ticket into the thread and that's supposed to prove that they have a large wager when anyone can just change the amount. Units and record is all that really matters.

This thread is nothing more than a hot load of bullshit.

Here is more truthful assessment of this here situation.

[Labeeb]

I found it interesting when many people said that the inexperienced set that were the ones constantly proclaiming how much they wager, what they drove, and how big their dick is. Perhaps it's like this in the sports forums, but it seems as though here in Offshore that I find many vets doing the same thing. It could be for the purposes of establishing credibility, however I think a lot of it has to do with ego and self-image.

On the side topic of how people report plays, etc. I'm shocked not one person has referred to ROI. It has been eluded to, but not directly cited. It is the only real measure of success in this game. When I was posting my horse matchups I did so with record, +/- units, and ROI. The combination of those things along with the community of posters watching out for those that go from 1 to 50 units in plays I think keeps everyone honest.

good post labeeb,you have always been of of the very few on here,that i pay any attention to.

 

[bigbet1234]

because they want to look like the big man, and 99.99% of the time, they have a tenth of what they say they have

 

[heatohio]

Some people may lie, but you can usually tell who those people are. I just post plays, I don't even post the amount of units. If people like my play they will follow, if they don't they won't. No need to know how much you are betting.

Agree Harry is a good poster and I almost always read his threads.
