I got ripped a new one for honestly forgetting a 4-5, -0.63 unit day in the beginning of the season. MF, trying to "start fresh" is a lot worse IMO. The fact that you even TRIED that shit is funny.

I think every person that posts on here should post a record in every thread. Give the reader an idea of who you are and how good you you've been. There are a lot of average cappers on here that get a lot of attention from "friends" who pump them up to being the best capper around. That could be very misleading.



This is the one and only sport of all the ones I post, where I did not post a record this year to begin with so I didnt hit no restart button. GL today!

who in particular?

let's get some controversy started w/me or others, on this boring saturday


lol, I got a few names in mind, but you're not one. When you're sucking, you call yourself on it. But you also post a record everyday. You're definately not who I'm talking about.

a time to kill was on the other day, i was watching it with my girl and i started chanting "FREE CARL LEE!" out of nowhere and she just looked at me like I was nuts. i though to myself, "dsethi would be proud"

Buffettgambler, why do you come into MF's thread and post, at least MF post picks, good, bad or indifferent; record keeping, as well. You, on the other hand, QUIT, because of some shady tout or touts stealing your picks-supposedly. I'll back MF on this one, at least he has the nuts to posts.
This thread is comical. MF gets mad about people posting his real record which was like 100units off. This dude gets mad at buffettgambler for cutting his ass off when buffett has no obligation to post picks. silly rabbits

adding another big play:



Atlanta-Cleveland 'Over' 9 -125 (5 Units)

I know John Smoltz has done a fine job pitching on the road this season but the Cleveland Indians are batting .310 at home versus right handed pitchers this season and Smoltz has not been effective enough to keep them to anything less than 4-5 runs. He has allowed opponents to hit .276 against him on the road which is above MLB average for hitters. Smoltz has been very good in his last three starts but those were two home starts against the Mets and Marlins and a road start against Milwaukee. The Cleveland Indians are about ten times heavier hitters than any of those teams and Smoltzy could be in for a long afternoon.

On the flip side of the mound you have Paul Byrd who although has a winning record at home this season and has allowed a ton of runs at the Jake and got just as much run support leading to 'W's for him. However, in his last three starts Byrd has allowed 30 hits in only 16.1 innings of work as ineffective as I have found the Braves to be in recent weeks, they do have the privilege of sending 9 natural batters to the plate and they do hit .295 versus right handed pitchers on the road. Both bullpens have played quite well as of late but its the starting staffs that have struggled and none of that should change tonight.

I know the number comes with chalk but I think its worth a go. Byrd has been hittable all year at the Jake, Smoltz doesn't have the kind of stuff he used to have and even if he does, I think the Braves can score 7-8 runs themselves which leaves the Indians to score only 2-3 runs to push or win. The one and only game this season that saw the wind blow IN FROM CF at less than 10mph in this ballpark had 15 runs scored. Last year the OVER was 3-0 when the wind was blowing IN FROM CF at less than 10mph with an average of 12.25 runs scored per game.

Now go log back in as Boxslayer

Sorry. Boxslayer is about 15 years younger than me. Keep deluding yourself into thinking that there is only one guy who thinks you're full of hot air.

Nobody here has any, and I mean any, obligation to do anything; including posting, posting W/L record, units won/loss or anything else. Nobody here has the obligation to believe or not believe anything that is written here. Also, nobody has the obligation to police anybody here; excepting the Mods. The only obligation that anybody has, who comes here looking for advice or picks, is to use their own judgment as to what is right and what is wrong. Nobody has been required to come here for information and nobody has been obligated to elect to take any advice from anybody here. If YOU come here looking for, or seeking advice on sports plays or other off-topic items, YOU are obligated to decide for yourself what is right and what is wrong. YOU are responsible for yourself, which obligates YOU to make the decision, be it good or bad, and nobody else. Yes, YOU are right, there is no OBLIGATION.

There is a difference between NO OBLIGATION, and being UNETHICAL, MISLEADING and AGENDA-DRIVEN.

If one chooses to contribute in this gambling community then ethical, honest behavior should be expected - especially when dealing with displaying a documented record. It's really not too much to ask. I cannot understand any logic supporting and defending Flava for resetting his record to 0-0, +6 units when he is down 100-350 units on the year.

If everyone draws the "No Obligation" card, then this place becomes a mess and a joke full of inaccurate records, liars, misrepresentation, and a big load of useless information that cannot be trusted.

AKA - Out of business.

The mods can't catch everything. They have enough things on their plate. Sometimes you have to rely on the forum to police itself and weed out the trash.

is this legit about him? saw this posted at sbr:

Before theRX he was a regular at Covers. At first he was mainly a trouble-maker whose main purpose was accumulating a high post count through a lot of single emoticon posts.

For a long time he was part of the all-touts-are-scum mindset. Then he became a tout! He was known for his long detailed write-ups.

It's important to remember that long detailed write-ups don't automatically mean you're making money. That was the case with Flava. He always lost money. It got kind of funny. I mean, I didn't pay attention to his picks but some of the guys had some fun with him. He was a truly horrible capper and he couldn't sell his picks for 5 bucks.

At one point he organized a NCAA bracket pool and stiffed a bunch of posters for about $400. For awhile he claimed poverty and had a big sob story.

Eventually he left in disgrace. I can't remember if he was banned or just chased away. He couldn't post without being attacked as a STIFF and a hypocrite from all sides.

Why he would still use the name MistaFlava is beyond me.

Giving him PM privileges would be a recipe for trouble.

I am not standing up for nor against anybody here or their background. I have no issue with pointing out unethical, misleading and agenda-driven behavior. However, these three characteristics are unfortunately found throughout society and one must learn to identify such and move forward, ergo, you must take responsibility for your own actions. Politics comes to mind as a very good parallel, they are unethical at times, misleading many, many times, and certainly agenda-driven. To expect this place, of all places, an internet posting site to be the panacea is just not the way I think; it won't happen. Someone will always come along with the same type of issues; they always have and always will, so why not accept that premise and move-on. Embrace the human behavior as you see it, not the way you would want it to be; for it will never be the latter, I can assure you of that.

Sorry brother, but thats the type of attitude that is wrong with society.

Where would our planet be right now if we all just accepted wrong behavior and looked the other way?

Without being overly dramatic, this post would be an insult to anyone that ever tried to make a difference in this world.

Let's keep it simple: If someone is down 100-350 units, I will continue to call them out when they claim they are 2-1, +6 units.

As much as each person is responsible for their own actions, there is nothing wrong with helping a guy who is not familiar with gambling, familiar with the board, anf familiar with the MistaFlava's of the world.

You want to get rid of people like this, simple, stay away, that takes care; don't post or view his threads and that will take care of the issues also. Yes, a very passive way to effect change, and it will, so no my attitude is not wrong, in fact its very efficient, albeit, it may take longer to produce change than your more direct method. I understand your intentions, and have no problem with them. If you feel the need to assist newbies, there is no problem with that either, but maybe you should consider having the Mods. provide the input for you, that way you stay impartial. After all, you are not the authority here, nor a moderator, nor a vested owner or anything of the like. You simply feel the need, so enjoy your perceived roll, it certainly won't hurt anybody, and may save a few lives-Peace.
