1) A poster who says he is betting $5k, $10k, $20k etc on a game is lying. People who bet large sums on games don't feel the need to shout it from the rooftops.

2) A person who predicts a side / total etc and then after it loses says they actually bet the other side and were employing "reverse psychology" is a lying tool. Fade at will.

3) 95% of the people who use the phrase "I've been doing this for longer than any of you" are lying. Most are probably 17 years old and stole their mommy's credit card to place the bets. Actually, this usually applies to #1 aswell.

4) Anyone who tells you they can pick 95% winners long term, is lying.

5) A person with 2 posts who claims to have inside info is lying.

There are a LOT of good cappers on this site, who bet and make large sums of money. They are usually pretty easy to spot ... but it's getting tougher and tougher to read these forums with all the 16 year old internet tough guys who cry and carry on when they lose their $30 bet.

My pathetic record is archived on fadethepublic.com for all to see. If more people used a similar service we could avoid the 16 year old internet tough guys.

Thanks for sharing but remember we are virtual which means we are who you see and that is not always who we are.

It's all about entainment anyones who sees more is wanting something is only fooling themselves.

Large M betters are either a fool or a professional. Professionals want to be paid for sharing their insights.

I agree with the 5 princibles of posters on this site. Well, I gotta go, I got some inside info on the Lakers game. I think I'll drop down 10 k on it. I've been doing this a long time. (Hmmm, I gotta find my mama's purse first!)

JB13372 says:

Oh yea, I'm usually right about 96.4388% of the time.

Haha, this is great! I love this post! I am still new (2 years) and was wondering about those $5-10-15-20K bettors.

I bet $5-30 on each game. haha! I break even pretty much, I don't make any money. It's just fun cause I am competitive and want to win and I love to gamble!

Thanks for the post!

GL and Merry Christmas

Anyone who can't spell correctly.

Anyone who still believes in "traps".

Anyone who picks a side or total and then never gives a write-up as to why they made that pick.

Anyone who says, "winner, winner - chicken dinner" - not sure who it is, but there's definitely one fool on here that says it.

Anyone who's below the age of 24.

1. agree

2. disagree I did this one time and it paid

3. well maybe

4. can someone claim 95%? if so they will get some attention like Sammy 11 and then fade away and create a Pizza maker profile ( you guys know what I am talking about)

5. well I think everyone discounts this anyway

29) If you're going to follow someones picks make sure you have an idea

of what their general discussion contribution is like.

Avoid tailing anyone who enjoys eatin' Butthole. If they enjoy creaming

in their girlfriend's butt, but claim that their girlfriend isn't a

slut, I personally wouldn't take their advise on the

Boston Celtics tonight.

Any Dickbag that says " Congratulations Over backers" after he took the under, and the score is 7-7 in the first quarter!
