I completely agree. That's why I rarely post anymore.

Thank your luckys Stars that you weren't around a couple of months ago... If you think it's bad now...

Cleaned house back then, and always willing to do it again ... Just name them

* will note that we did get a Group from Covers... and you couldn't tell the Good ones to the Bad ones... Now I see they have been unhinged lately

I hope the mods and RX staff do not take offense. This is a GREAT site! I just hope everyone in this thread can rise up and kill the BS. Its a forum and negativity breeds negativity... leave it alone.

Let make some fucking money, together

You've been posting great stuff for years here on the RX and I've been following along since I joined here.
You've posted nothing but a full day of winners today on Thanksgiving Day and for that we are grateful.
But this thread may be your best piece of work.
If you have a petition, I'll sign it.
Wishing you continued success.

Totally agree with you Stewie. I don't post picks (you wouldn't want mine), but I have come here for a long time to get info and to follow those who are a lot better at it than me. Cannot understand why someone wants to complain or bash someone else for missing a pick. If they don't have the ability to make their own, they have no right to criticize those that do.

I'm a huge fan of your threads, including this one. I too only look in the threads of the ones I know from years of posting here. I probably miss some of the newer great posters but I also miss a lot of BS.

Continued success Stewie

The mods do a good job Stew. Sometimes the bashers are relentless. We as long standing members deserve a little respect and the kids out there are very disrespectful. The mods consistently tell 1 guy to stay out of my threads and the newbie just shrugs the warnings off and continues to be defiant. Newbies just dont respect us who have a decade or more under our belts. not all but some. theyre castaways and rejects on their 5th name from other places that folded. keep the faith Stew and please keep posting. people here love and respect you and your picks

Couldn't agree with you more. Thanks for speaking out and posting a thread about this. Mods, please help to keep the important people around.

Stewie, thanks for the HUGE Panthers winner! I parlayed it with my Over =)

I couldn't agree more, my friend. Wow, we do go way back. It's not necessarily THIS forum, I think the youth is just so damn disrespectful these days. The world has definitely changed. My only concern is that people are more inclined to comment on a loser than they are a winner. I always say that iron sharpens iron. This game we "play" is an investment and in the end we are all shareholders.

Nice post.

The thing I hate about this place is this: it adds a ton of conjecture; it almost gives you too many perspectives, too many wiseguys, other cappers, etc. It causes you to overthink and second guess.

It's silly to worry about the late line movement, the smart money plays, the sharp money, trends, blah blah blah. If you like a game, play it. I bet huge on Dallas today for the sheer fact of "FADE THE PUBLIC, IT's SHARP!" and it fucked me royally like it has every time this year.

I was gone for a good 5+ years and I have to say I see this place going downhill.
There are so many great cappers and more importantly, True Gentleman, who post their plays. One thing I cannot stand is the bashing and disrespect some people show on this forum. I wish the mods would tighten up and eliminate/trim the waste here. Some folks post crazy and outlandish plays, I get it...they are crazy or outright lying. Why do we need to go back and forth with these people with bullshit and name calling?

This post doesn't belong here, I honestly don't give a fuck. Move it to the rubber room. But, if you move this thread then move the other shit too. Better yet, ban the other shit. It's quality over quantity and us old fucks don't give a shit about quantity. If it's numbers that the RX is trying to get then ask for donations. I would be more than happy to donate $10 a month not to see the silliness and juvenile behavior.

i have left this place many times because of this and i am not here much now because it is still here. i don't think its as bad only because there are less people. the bashing ran everyone off...

When I signed up, there was many people talking about the details for games, like matchups, injuries, sucker bets, line movements, stats, trends, etc... Good info to make a better decision on certain games. It does seem like over the past couple years, this place has been straying from that. Getting more and more posters worrying about their short term records and/or trying to tout themselves.

I think this is the best sports forum around. There are some good threads if you look around. I don't like the threads that take up a whole line, the goy's, the outrageous claims of money bet, all just want attention. There are also a lot of different personalities on here. It really is quite entertaining at times. You can definitely tell who likes or dislikes one another. I like posting plays. It helps me out on my research, homework, etc, When I lose after a certain length of time I stop for awhile or all together for that sport.

I do think we have a certain group of posters on here that think they own the place. Sometimes they scare the newbies off. I was at a place before this (PST) when someone would post for the first time he was welcomed by MANY members. I wish everyone was positive, contribute info, thoughts, reasons, but you just have to find the threads and posters that do that and then it's not all bad.

And to you Stewie, a good old timer, and there were many of you that I would always visit your threads before I was a member.

Great Post thanks for this. All and all a good weekend. A couple of stray disrespectful kids stirring the pot and a rogue line fudger but a good weekend. Gluck today all!!

I appreciate all your posts Stewie and have been around for years my self. Your one of the few posters who I will blindly follow. Except for your huge play on the Panthers over Green Bay I was so convinced I had the best play of the year so far on the Pack. You did save me some money though, I did't play it as big because of your post. Your a class a act and one of the main reasons I still use this forum. I post a bit more on another forum.

Don't worry about those idiots they come and go without providing anything useful. Probably shills for the books looking to run off successful posters. I see it happen all too much.
