I obviously don't post at all!!! However I do follow you and thank you for your work. Might not mean anything from somebody that doesn't post but I support you.
I have neither the time nor the energy to deal with this back and forth.
Okie - The rules are pretty simple...If you want to keep a record, you need to use lines from Pinnacle or Bookmaker at the time of your post. As far as this board's recordkeeping rules go, the line you actually got yourself is meaningless. If you have an issue with that, send Edward an e-mail and take it up with him. Secondly, if you're going to post lines that aren't available at BM or Pinny, you should expect to get corrected on them. And if someone does correct you, it's not an "attack" (and if you do think it's an attack, then simply check the lines at BM or Pinny before you post, and then you won't be opening yourself up to these "attacks").
If you don't like the rules, you have two options. A) Stop keeping a record (which also means don't bump posts to tell everyone that you won on a specific game or that you've won "x" number of picks already today OR Find another forum to post at
Enough with the drama from everyone. Any more actual attacks on each other and this will be locked. Thanks.
Why oh why do you jump, attack, continually, when I said count as a loss???
Why do you continue to attack, my friends???
Okie don't really know why you waste your time posting as the "Hall Monitors" will keep sending you to the detention room for your shameful errors. Add me to your list of appreciative supporters for what it is worth. Might simply be best just to not keep a record as those that have followed you will still do so and your microscope monitors will no longer be able to call out your "intentional deception" lol
Peace my friend and welcome back.....
I tried posting this last night but was having technical issues.
Tommy's post pretty much summed it up, so I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I want to make this perfectly clear because for some unknown reason you just don't seem to get it.
You are repeatedly violating the record keeping guidelines of the site. We have these rules for a reason and we encourage other posters to help enforce them so that not only does it not all fall on Tommy and I to play line cop but also to foster an atmosphere where everyone is familiar with the rules and does their best to follow them on their own. Just make sure to check the Live Odds link before posting a play and there won't be an issue.
No one has attacked you in this thread, but you continue to respond with defensive, sarcastic, disrespectful, and/or condescending remarks (some thinly veiled towards the mods). Apologies mixed in with such comments don't cut it.
I honestly do not believe BT is the right forum for you.
You don't get to selectively pick and choose when to start and stop your record. If you wish to keep one, it must include the entire season. You also of course have the option of simply not keeping one. Thanks for understanding.
Goats, all fine here
Again, never tried to piss you'll off
I thought you mentioned, I could keep weekly threads
You can keep a weekly thread, however your record needs to be a season long record (thus it will cross over several threads, and shouldn't "reset" each week when a new thread is opened).
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen.,
But do you recall?
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (reindeer)
Had a very shiny nose (like a lightbulb)
And if you ever saw it (saw it)
You would even say it glows
And all of the other reindeer (reindeer)
Used to laugh and call him names (like pinochio)
They never let poor Rudolph (Rudolph)
Join in any reindeer games( like monopoly)
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say, (ho ho ho)
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the reindeer loved him,(loved him)
And they shouted out with glee, (yippie)
Rudolph the red-nose Reindeer (reindeer)
You'll go down in history (like Elvis)

This isn't meant to be confrontational, I'm just trying my best to make sure we're on the same page going forward.
All is not fine. Comments like "I, personally, will not allow scum, fools, or their leaders to bother me" are not fine. Comments that either insinuate or flat out accuse mods and other posters of hating on you or trying to run you off the site are not fine when all those posters are doing is helping enforce the guidelines either because it's their job or because they are encouraged to do so.
In addition to following the record keeping guidelines, these are the types of comments that need to go.
Comments
Sad, so sad, so very sad, the hatred continues by the two and others over a 1/2 point
I, personally, will not allow scum, fools, or their leaders to bother me
Thanks, as in poker, for your support
My gosh, I showed them a ticket, good gosh it wasn't a point
I will call it a loss, even if I win as documented, so their drawers stay wet
I obviously don't post at all!!! However I do follow you and thank you for your work. Might not mean anything from somebody that doesn't post but I support you.
And
I thank you
LOL at "I showed them a ticket."
Look at me, I got +20:
102931816-1 Thursday 12/19/2013 Spread 440.00 400.00 No
Basketball - Western Illinois +20 -110 for Game
What, you mean I can't include that in my record?? But I showed a ticket!!

No matter what, count as a loss
Why Would I Ever Want To Upset The Four of You
Please, Please Count as a Loss
Never, Ever, Meant for this accidental 1/2 point which is definitely a loss, a loss to cause an issue
I am very, very, very sorry
Why oh why do you jump, attack, continually, when I said count as a loss???
Why do you continue to attack, my friends???
