When in history did a simple "Thank you" lose it's value to the point where society feels the need to shower people with gifts to make them feel appreciated? Another issue that hadn't been brought up earlier in this thread is how Kruser stated how "stressed out" he gets when posting his picks. Dude, we all appreciate the diligent studying and research that goes into yours and the rest of these fine cappers picks, but to say that you get "stressed out" is only asking for :nopityA: . I get stressed out when I squat on the pot and after a healthy dump, realize that the roll had only 1 sheet left on it. I get stressed out when taking my girl to one of the fanciest restuarants on Valentine's day and then after ordering bought 2 dimes worth of grub, realize that my wallet was convieniently still laying on my nightstand 30 miles away. I get stressed when my boss calls me 11 o'clock pm on a saturday night and the first words outta his trap is "Your probably not gonna like this......". But if I start getting stressed out posting picks, then it maybe time for something new.
Kruser,
Sorry that you posted an honorable, well-intentioned idea to offer a token of appreciation for some the best here and received nothing but grief for it.
Reading this thread tells me a lot about what kind of person you are. It also says a lot about flaming fuckholes like fivedoorsdown.

Ya know Kruser, you sound like a real class act, and everything seems to be on the up-n-up, but ya gotta realize that we ain't the local church bridge club. I definitely appreciate the excellent picks, but whenever I hear somebody askin for dough over the net(good cause or not) I start gettin that shitty feeling like when my girl brings home a bunch of Sandra Bullock movies for a chick-flick marathon--WHY? I mean hey stand-up guy, if you've been banging your Man off these cappers picks then why not e-mail them and set these shindigs up yaself? And would it not be the obvious question to ask that if these cappers are so hot, and they lay the wood down on their own plays that they probably take their wives out to wine and dine on a regular basis without needing a bunch of degenerate gamblers to pony up change and try to arrange something for them?
I am simply amazed at some of the responses in this thread plain and simple. I am not going to waste my time with anymore of these guys who just don't get it. These are the type of guys who don't just do random good gestures for people. They are selfish and probably have never given a dime to a charity. Unfortunately that is the world we live in.
If anyone would like to chip in and show some thanks,
thanks for anyone who supported this. I appreciate it.

Its a very nice gesture. All you people saying that Kruser would keep the money needs to get a life. I know Kruser well enough to know that he would never do anything like that. I understand some peoples lack of trust, but please keep your stupity to yourself. All he was trying to do was give alitltle something back to some of the people that made him:money8: :money8: :money8:

Thanks for the nice gesture but that is totally unnecessary. If I wanted to get paid for picks I would get in the tout biz. It only takes 2 mins to post my plays. I just post to give people something to think about before they place there wagers.
Kruser,
I just read the entire thread and thought I would post my 2bits.
Your heart is truly in the right place although you should be included in the list. The guys you mention are the ones I follow on here. I only found this place recently and it couldn't have happened at a better time. My offshore account has grown thanks to you and the guys you mention, even though I only play between $20 and $50 per play. It takes a long time to make $$ that way but I am making it. Good timing too having lost my job recently.
I like the idea of doing something for these guys, I truly do. HOWEVER, in reading this, I tried to look at it from possibly their perspective.
The fact you are wanting to do this speaks volumes about your appreciation for their picks. You ARE a class act, as are they. In my opinion, what I would appreciate, is someone sending me a private email saying thanks, or if the opportunity arises and sincere handshake and a thanks or perhaps buying them a drink. They are winning with their picks and can afford dinners.
Any thought to asking them if we can make a donation to their favorite charity in their name as a thank you? Maybe they have a charity they really like and that may actually mean more to them than a dinner.
I will probably be in touch to see what you decide ultimately.
Thank YOU for your efforts in this endeavor and as always for your plays!
