how's this sound:
all right you dildos, i've been around for many a moon and provided consistent results, you slobber on my knob when i'm hot and kick me in the nuts when i'm cold, so i'm gonna start charging for my plays, considering that my threads get a thousand hits and 200 replies each week, there's no reason i can't make some decent cash, if you don't like it kiss my ass, i don't need no elaborate excuse on why i ain't getting rich betting my own plays, why do that when i can just charge you money? personally, i hate gambling.
by the way, does anybody bother to check out the contest forums? the top 5 guys in the nfl marty j challenge are a combined 50-9....one guy in the cfb forum was 32-6 the first half of the season before cooling off and "only" hitting 55% the rest of the way.....why pay for picks when there are solid cappers all over this excellent forum?
If you have 50 people in a contest, chances are 1 of them will have a great record. It's random. That's no help unless you can identify who it is beforehand.
