Jackdee has commented & i respect Jack much.

What needs to happen that will make The Rx sports forums the best on the net?

All opinions appreciated

Thanks

General RX is the best on the net. You cannot have all gambling all the time, it would be boring, I think the fighting here is less than any other site When guys like me try to bully posters you step right in and clean it up, good job there. This sounds strange but the majority of my posts are gambling/news related. I have so many of course some get a little out of line, law of averages. My bad ones take away from all my good ones and of course I am evaluating my style as we speak. I have had conferences with Kenny and he already has told me to cut the macho bull crap out and I have, sometimes it is hard when we have baiters here baiting me, so I have to rise above it and be a man. I think the forum is running smooth though for the most part and mini fights will always break out, you cannot get into the banning game because that kills the site. Just close watch the site and edit out the bull crap that I and many others dish out. The thing about me though is I got a lot of balls and admit my faults, I am not one to say I am never wrong, many posts where I put myself down. General you and the other moderators keep up the good work and of course our leader Kenny.

Good Luck

It has a lot to do with people's misconception of what a great handicapper to be.

Many people believe a great handicapper can hit over 60% of their picks when in reality it is difficult to hit more than 55%. I personally think someone like dogball is a GREAT handicapper but over a long haul I still doubt he'll return 55% winners.

We had some very good cappers in the sport forums who has gotten discouraged during slumps because they felt too much was being expected of them, simply put, they put too much pressure on themselves.

None of ys has a right to expect other people to win money for us, if the rest of us who don't contribute to the sports forums be more appreciative and more supportive to those who capps for us(especilly those who takes their time with the write-ups to share their ideas) during their difficult times, it might help.

A trophy to those who picks well on the front page might encorage some cappers to contribute as well.

In any case, thanks for starting this thread, General.

lucygoosy if a poster can break even he is good, most of us lose by the end of the year

lucygoosy · May 13, 2003

Just read DickyW's thread, I think he has some very good points.

Posters has to be discouraged from making plays higher than 5 units unless they are doing so with profits, this would help separating the fakers from the cappers.

I agree with Jimbo 100%. Journeyman Is the bigest moron on this forum.
Also posters like (jjgold) accusing quality posters like bart of ripping off sportsbooks, without presenting evidence. but I guess posters like (jjgold) post 50 times per day, and that's what the RX wants.
I can live with that.

dogball · May 13, 2003

Dicky-
What are you trying to say??

General- This place needs a lot of reform all of a sudden, IMHO. Poor decisions and mismanagement are hurting the RX,. I have complained about it sporadically.
Best of luck

Journeyman · May 13, 2003

I will leave if thats what you would like ...It would be a boring forum with the same , which book do you like threads continuously?

dogball · May 13, 2003

Lucy- thank you, nice compliment

BTJ- Journey is a solid guy, give him a chance, you are a funny dude, I am glad I was turned on to your humor, but stop bitching about the 660 allready. I will donate a c note to you if it helps if you PROMISE TO SHUT THE F UP AND MAKE ME LAUGH

TheGeneral+ · May 13, 2003

Tell us what we need to change dogball. I have not heard your suggestions/concerns.

thanks

I wouldn`t leave , but BTJ is a nimrod .

I actually took his side in the Cascade debacle until I realized this clown , lost the bet?

I thought he actually WON the bet?

BTJ, your good at two things , being a racist and being a very nice fade!

You can be funny, but this crybaby shit about how you were robbed is beyond PATHETIC!

lucygoosy · May 13, 2003

Dogball,
Truly means what I said. You are easily the most underappreciated poster on the boards.Allways making major contributions to both the sports and offshore forums.

Thanks a lot and good luck, always.
