NOT EVEN CLOSE - JUST PUTTING MY MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH IS WOULD NEVER ACCUSE ANYBODY OF ANYTHING UNLESS I COULD STAND BEHIND WHAT I AM SAYING - THE ONLY REASON I AM IN THIS THREAD IS TO SHOW OTHERS HERE HAVE A SOAP OPERA AGENDA

You are missing what everyone is telling you. We don't care what the hell you do with YOUR money.

you have every right to that but when someone says i am loosing money off my posted plays or dont cap my own games or get my plays from someone else thats what i take issue with the way i gamble works for me and a few others i dont have goy or say bet huge i just post plays and have been doing it a long time and wining maybe others are doing better than i am i dont care i do whats good for me my friends nd family-and i make good money for my friends so that fires me up- if someone picks and chooses what plays they play that there biz not mine accept all my personal friends i make them play what i play and over the years they just trust and do- theres even a couple on here -hitters a doctor and lawyer i place some of there action and they bet 20k adat at least they post alot on here and they win because they get all my plays. but if someone looses or wins by whoever plays they take thats there biz the point is though if they follow they win no one can proove diff but i do by posting for ten yers here i dont win everyday and i bet alot but i dont get hurt and im not hurting anybody else- people hurt themselves thats the republican in me

I say let the guy post what games he wants and how much $/% he wants--its his money (its obvious he has a lot more than me to bet). Yea I disagee with the number of games he bets and his answer to not incluidng juice and I am sure he probably disagrees with the way I do it. This forum has all kinds and its up to each person to decide who to follow or not, what to bet or not and how much. I followed/tracked his picks Fri/Sat and most of Sunday (was not easy with so many picks)- I quit when someone esle was posting his picks-did not know if that was true or not and with juice he lost some $. GL Thunder on your picks I hope you win mucho money. Keep posting. This site is about being able to post your picks-we all will never agree on who is going to win what.

OK, I think I have it!

Instead of crapping up Thunder's thread and debating the relative merits of the way he handicaps, the number of bets he makes or the way he ties his fucking bow ties, let's use a separate thread.

I'll start: I win money when I stick to his plays. Period.

Not every day, but every single week. Not one losing week. And I pay juice. And Thunder pays juice. It's just an incredible pain in the ass for him--or anyone else--to take the time to handicap, post lots of plays, do halftimes, keep a record and then calculate the vig.

If anyone dislikes his plays or his style, ignore his threads.

And then leave comments here and not in his picks thread. OK?

:director: i agree,however if you don't like his handicapping don't enter his threads at all so you won't have anu opinion or negative vibes to send his/our way......:00hour

Conversely, don't pimp his threads when he's losing. How about it?

The only thing i will say is I have followed Thunder the last couple of weeks and have won 120%, which means i have doubled my bankroll. Don't really understand why people feel the need to get on one poster. Just stay out of his threads if you don't like his style. Pretty simple to me....

I really don't think you are a bad guy. I just think that your method of gambling is dangerous to new bettors. GL.

So it seems that the argument is simply around that we don't want new gamblers coming to this site and being pushed down the wrong path on how to gamble...

They probably showed up to the site because they already lost their ass and looking to get it all back (probably quickly), thus they are already down the wrong path . I am pretty sure most people don't wake up one day and say 'hmm, maybe I will take up sportsbetting, let me go online and find a site'. Fact of the matter is if you are going to blindly follow someone, you deserve whatever comes to you. Assuming you are over 18 (legal betting age - I think), if you are not bright enough to figure that this is essentially an anonymous forum and people can post say whatever they want, then you get what you deserve. Frauds on this site have been and will continue to be exposed in the long run. Look at that jacked and tanned guy?.he was getting thousands of hits on his threads, he started losing and now rarely gets hits. 80% of the threads don't have any analysis or explanation as to their picks, and if someone does analysis, half the time the someone comes in and calls them an idiot for their thinking

If you are not smart enough to take peoples systems and adapt them to your bankroll, then too bad for you. I have no clue what I am doing in capping (I don't think I have ever capped a game in my life), but I have made money each of the last 3 years?. Because I adapt. Before then, I tried picking games on my own and was always losing (yes, I am Joe Q public). I am also one of the people following Thunder religiously over the last few weeks and my bankroll is 200% more than what it was at the end of the superbowl. I take his picks and his % and turn it into my own (6% = $60, 4% = $40), but I also watch a few other people that are doing well and when they are all on the same side, I up it, or if they contradict, I reduce or not bet at all. No single person has the best system, thus if you are not going to do your own capping, then you get what you pay for.

Here is an idea... Jack should charge people to view or post in the picks gambling forum area. Prior to paying, each person need to take a test on the do's and don'ts of gambling, thus no one will ever be led astray.

Been here a long time and don't post much as you can see by my join date and post count. I don't know what I am doing as far as capping goes so I follow a select few of the guys I consider good/legit. If I win, great. If I lose, I don't blame whoever I followed. This is just a hobby for me, unfortunately an expensive one since I always seem to lose much more than I win.
In my opinion, Thunder is really a good guy who just wants to help others out in picking winners. If you take away the % of bankroll and just applied a basic rating system I think most would be appeased. Even if you used $100 per rating. A number that most of us couldn't bet, but who cares? A 6% play thus becomes $660 to win $600. At the end of the day it would be easier for all who cared to add up the winners and losers including the juice and whether or not points were bought and have a simple +/- on the day. That's what I do with his plays.
I appreciate that he takes the time to give out his plays each day. I don't think he has ever gone looking for trouble, an arguement, or deliberately tried to deceive anyone. He has shared some glimpses of what kind of guy he really is if you guys paid attention over the years.
There are plenty of guys here who don't keep track of their records and never seem to run out of money, but never get as much scrutiny as what Thunder has gotten the past few days.
