It is a shame that just at a time when handicappers on this forum have been doing so well and have been sharing valuable information both for each other as well as the viewers, that someone would start comparing them and their records as if this were a competition. Many of you know that it has been my position that we are all here to help each other succeed in our battle with the books not compete with each other or bash anyone. This type of thread only ends up causing us to use up energy that we can well use for handicapping instead. Most of us are astute enough to know the large picture but we should acknowledge each other's efforts to help the forum. Without mentioning any names, the write-ups that are put out are a valuable tool for the forum and anyone who has chosen to spend the enormous time and effort to provide one for each game is to be appreciated not viewed critically, as regardless of record, these posters spend time providing information for all to read and use as they wish. For those that provide their YTD record or any record for that matter, they to should be commended provided they are honest with the forum and the readers. Each of us is different in our own way, but together we provide strength to this forum. Please don't allow yourselves to be caught up in meaningless competition with each other. It doesn't matter who the best handicapper is. All that matters is that collectively we produce profits for ourselves, the forum and the viewers. To all the cappers on this forum, keep a positive outlook and not let this thread deter you from your success. Keep the train rolling.
