IMO, he actually thought somebody was making a mistake and didn't know the game had started. He then pulled the "just joking" gag to save face and it backfired horribly. That was my initial feelings reading the thread. Especially coming from a poster is laid back and hasn't started shit with anybody for the nearly two years he's been around.
Fuc I would agree with ya but he said he grabbed some.
So hes as dumb as fuck or he made the post trying to screw some people over.
I'm going to go with dumb as fuck. I'm confidant in my analysis. I've never even talked to this guy, so I'm not sure why I'm defending him but if you look at the threads he's started http://www.therxforum.com/search.php?searchid=1538891 he's always calm and relaxed.
If this thread came from somebody who had a track record of starting trouble or was a newbie I'd say he was trying to screw people and say ban. I think this thread is enough shit for him, it won't happen again. If people on the forum think being really retarded/ignorant for a moment is enough to ban, then whatever. Just my opinion. Don't think he started it intentionally to fuck people over, but actually thought he was helping people, then it backfired.
Someone apparently does not know how to use Matchbook, you can get Yanks and Angels over 8.5 at +900 right now. Already grabbed some for myself, but there's $274 still available!
EDIT: Doubt this line will get canceled like it would at other books since you're not betting directly against the house.
