Bear,
You just don't get it, do you? Let me try to make this clear one more time. The so-called jinx is not an animal that is only inherent in this forum, it is something that is a gambling taboo everywhere and has been since I've been doing this (about 20 years), and undoubtably longer than that. Anybody that has been involved in this industry for any length of time, has been in the forums, or has ever walked into a LV sportsbook, knows that calling a game before it's ending is not proper etiquette. Now, do I believe in the jinx? No. I think it's hogwash. But, it exists nonetheless, and I, and about 99.9% of the human race RESPECT the people that do believe in it by NOT commenting on an event until it's over.
While I'm on the subject, the lowest act one can commit is to wish ill will upon someone's wager. Any way you wanna weave it, saying the following to MJ, "I hope you lose your ass on the Florida State bet!" is incomprehensible. If anybody ever did that on MY site, they would be gone yesterday.
I guess I really don't understand why you are still trying to make a case for your actions. Why not just eat a slice of humble pie and chalk it up to a learning experience? Although you've stated that "my opinion doesn't matter to you", allow me to at least attempt to offer up a piece of advice. Instead of insulting people like Hoops, MadJack, Kosar, etc, perhaps you should unplug your keyboard at times and LISTEN to what guys like this have to offer. I can honestly say that I have learned more about the "art" of sports betting in this forum than any other ONE thing I can think of. I'm probably wasting my time, but the choice is yours....
