But here are things I don't like: 1) Car salesmen trying to sell you a used car that burns 2 quarts of oil a day with a transmission that skips 2nd gear. 2) Stock brokers who try to sell you stock in a company that is going out of business. 3) Lottery players who show an 80% loss but brag about their wins. 4) All other deceptive or misleading behavior. Side note to Fast Eddie.......825 straight is about 6 or more times overdue in IL no... [ More ]

I think that if the people with the electric bill have to actually think about whether they should pay the bill or gamble it away, should not be bettting on anything at all in the first place, and have a gambling problem. The number one rule in gambling is to never bet money that you can't afford to lose. Gambling 101. I'm certain that most people here have common sense and aren't total idiots. The mere fact that they have a computer shows some responsible thinking. <br... [ More ]

But a smart looker/follower will know who's hot and who's not. That's why my signature says Big John says You Don't Hit The Number The Number Hit's You. No, I'm not big John and it took a long time for me to realize what he meant by it.... [ More ]

As I said I was referring to FORUM posts. There are no agendas being pushed on the prediction boards. It is just predictions and the outcome of those predictions. As far as my predictions on the board go, they are just that...predictions. I don't expect anyone to play them but by God I will give my best effort to put the best picks I can up there in case someone decides to play them. Their money lost is as important to me as my money lost. That's where the accountabilty factor co... [ More ]

If you look at the prediction boards statistics for all states today you'll see your name in all four columns. This gives everyone the feeling that your doing great does that mean we should all play your picks or use them as a tool like it was meant to be used. If you posted picks every day and were winning every day then wouldn't it be a good idea to play your picks.
