choptalk,
I hate to see this post because I think you are making a huge mistake.Your problem is you tried to take on the weight of bucsfan loss to the baseball forum on your own shoulders and you made too many plays a day.
I have been a forum lurker for years and I know how good you are and i know exactly what you did wrong this year.
you tried to wager for other people and had other people in mind when you were making bets. maybe your power rankings were off a little this year but you were not playing good teams instead you were always looking for "value" . when people try to be a leader they dont want to post plays with a lot of chalk and that is the biggest mistake anyone can make.the rotten myth that their is no "value" in laying chalk. look at franksters record ,every year its the same thing,people who end up on top watch alot of baseball, and know the good teams and pitchers and end up with winning years.
These people who come on here here bashing you are ,to us a phrase I heard from roxy gurl, kool aid sippers. there are alot of followers on here who are looking for a sports swami to follow,and these are the bashers. I know how good you have been in the past and I check your threads always but instinct is everything in wagering and if you post a team and I dont like it, i dont play it. its like those kool aid sippers who killed themselves following di and do in sandiego, thesebashers were blind followers.
Di and Do told them to castrate themselves and those people did it, now if you as a swami told your followers to castrate themselve,I would not do it,no way :massage: , its just like no way would I follow you on a washington nationals bet.Guys like old school and royalfan are tools, massive tools.
There is no way you can live without baseball season,just get back to wagering for yourself,wagering a few games, watching loads and loads of baseball, and finding the good teams and dont be afraid laying the chalk ,if people dont like it screw em.
every year I have been doing this, everyone says the same thing ,dont lay the chalk,find the "value" plays, and I did that for 3 years and barely broke even or would barely grind out a profit. I decided to trust my instinct,play the best teams ,the yankees,the red sox, the white sox,the cardinals,with the better pitcher that day and every year I have been living off my winnings.
Choptalk you are good and have proven that ,you just dont need to try and carry the weight of the forum on your own back. good luck buddy.
cheers
