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.

dude...you should post much more often...;)

Look people there is one universal truth, if you are gambling on sports you are almost guaranteed to lose long-term. Unless you fall into the few % that can pull a profit but with that it's rare. Even if you do pull a profit you are going to lose stomach lining in the process and it's a miserable existence.

If you think you will make it big gambling on sports you fall into one of these categories:

1. You are young in your gambling career and haven't realized the inevitable

2. You're delusional

3. You're addicted to gambling

So if you do this for fun, great. If you follow thunder or the almighty himself at some point you are going to lose it all. Unfortunately for most here they probably can't even afford to be betting the $ they are wagering. Ya aint gonna make it rich gambling people. The only one with a sound business plan in this whole join when it comes to making a living is Jack and it sure as shit isn't on what he's gambling.

Funny but a monkey would pick 50% correct against the spread. But how many of us can do 10% better than a monkey? :shrug: Not a knock on anyone. Just sayin'.

Yeah can not believe he made that comment.

I never bought picks from him but I am sure people did and wasted their hard earned money on someone who did not take it serious.

What an asshole. I hope he refunded all his clients.

It's not as bad as Raymond saying he gave losers on purpose for the sportsbook advertising. They both should be ashamed of themselves for the way they ran that service. But it is hard to feel sorry for anyone that actually paid for their picks.

If someone could intentionally give out the losing side, it means they knew what the winning side was correct?.
And if you knew what the winning sides were, why bother with the selling picks bullshit? You'd keep quiet, bet your ass off on your own picks,.... and get rich.
