The story between me and Lt. Dan is VERY simple:
He approached me with with a story about money and an offer that he would send me "RAS's" college basketball plays in exchange for my plays instead of paying. I had and still have no idea who RAS is. I received Ras's plays in my email for about 3 days, I only played one play in that time out of boredom. I just never was able to get into college hoops growing up and I still really can't. That's why you have never seen me in the college hoops forum. I didn't take Ras's plays and turn around and share them with the world. I made a private trade, and kept them private in exchange for my plays.
I could have been a money grubbing, greedy asshole and said no to his offer. I did it on GOOD FAITH. I honestly gave 2 shits about Ras's plays. I never bet college hoops. I was trying to be a nice guy.
When I found out Dan was the one I made the trade with and he was posting my plays (my only rule I have is to not share my plays PUBLICLY on a FORUM), I had no choice to remove him from the list. I emailed him and told him I knew it was him posting the plays and after the arrangement we made, I thought it was a pretty classless move for him to turn around and do that. I told him although I was removing him from the list, it was nothing personal. We'd try an arrangement out again next year. That's why he keeps making that stupid Godfather quote. He apologized, said he was embarrassed, etc. Said it was his "relative" that did it and that he should get him straightened out. We never spoke since and the rest is history. Maybe the relative is Dan, maybe Dan is the relative. Lt. Dan has multiple people signing onto his rx name and multiple people signing onto his email. Or so he claims.
The bottom line, is Lt Dan can continue to have fun playing Robin Hood. Whatever makes him feel important. Karma is a bitch and the karma here is that he has busted his ass to share losing plays. And all of the people who are out there trying to take the cheap way out are paying the price. You can act like you have been fading, but you all know better.
The people on my list are obviously also losing, but at the very least they receive writeups and about handicapping fundamentals. They understand WHY I am choosing a certain side, they understand that we are putting ourselves in high percentage situations and sometimes high percentage situation plays lose. That's why we're gambling. They realize I am a 60% capper over 400 plays and everyone has hot and cold 15 play sample sizes. I haven't had 1 ball bounce my way yet and we aren't even haldway done with the season yet. If that high percentage Temple under stayed under, it's a winning bowl season right now, and that's a fine line between winning and losing so far. There is a long way to go, and unlike you amateurs, you don't hit the panic button after 16 plays when you're not even halfway through a season. Ask GoSooners who had one of the worst starts I have ever seen, but he is a good capper with good fundamentals and it always wins out.
They are learning how to do it on their own. I told them my goal is to teach them everything I know so they don't have to subscribe to services anymore. These people will win long term, even if it means I quit posting on therx and send them my plays for free instead of coming back to this immature hell hole.
And for a forum to try and band together and try to get plays for free, it is what it is. Can't say I'm for or against it. You gotta do what you gotta do.
But for Dan to do it in the manner that HE did and screw a guy over who made a good deal with him originally based on good faith, shows that he isn't the angel you guys think he is. The bottom line, he's being a dick plain and simple and trying to act like there is some story behind the scenes going on. The story is that he's a backstabber.
And yes, your guys hatred, jealousy, bickering, hoping I lose, sharing my plays, lack of class overall, laughing at my current cold streak, all has left a very bad taste in my mouth about returning. I was here for 4 years and you guys can't handle me being gone for 3 weeks. Even guys like Bennyshoe, who I thought was a friend of mine and we spoke on here for 3 years, keeps making comments about me. I guess that's the world we live in. Lesson learned.
Thanks for the daily drama. Back to work.
