    Default What was the best thread of 2007?

    Since we are about ready to end 2007 in a few weeks. I got to thinking what what everyone thought the thread of the year was.

    I have to say that the BetEd/SexyGamblerChick dispute had to be by far the best one in 2007.

    Which one do you guys feel was the best?

    BetEd owes me 19k, says they will pay 1k.

    Hands down!

    Whatever happened to the main complainants/posters in that one?

    A distant second, but one of my personal faves:

    Though I was only here for the last 3 months of the year, I would have to say that the best threads are not the ones that entertain me the most, but the ones that teach me the most. That being said, I can't single out a specific thread, but obviously a lot of the Ganch threads about Kelly criterion and general betting patterns and stakes were my favourite.

    I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to advancing general knowledge of the common forum-peruser. Whether it be someone who has pointed out a trend in gambling, a statistical analysis, or an in-depth study of a particular issue, or the Mods and Administrators who keep tabs on current issues surrounding particular books, all of these add a ton to the forum. I hope that 2008 sees a higher percentage of these topics among the posts.

    Yeah, Ganchrow HG (I refuse to refer to him as "The HG") earned near HOF status with just his contributions in that thread. Classic.

    You got my vote on this one, it was one of the more entertaining reads yet.

    If not at least nominated for this year, it should receive an all-time award of some sort. JJ's thread about blowing a 75 year old to avoid his rent payment so he could keep gamblign still remains the ultimate SBR classic IMO...

    Guess this is a bit like asking where the best place is to get a beer and a burger seeing as how each will follow their own taste buds.

    However, I did enjoy JJ's post that included a video calling me out. Can only compare it to Navin Johnson in The Jerk in that I finally felt that I was somebody with JJ mentioning my name.

    I think that movie was a bit before some of the members time Willie. So heres the clip of your comparison.

    When I read your title that one immediately came to mind. I agree 100%. Now where did old ziggy get to? I'll bet he was the dude behind the whole saga.

    I think the 2nd best is the John Layfield threads telling how he'll educate us and ended up editing most of them to get the incredible record he now has. Amazing!!!!!!. But him coming in patting himself on the back saying someone "changed" his selection is classic. Now apparently the private zone is his private domain..... I say bring back patty and let him have the private zone

    A late, but great, entry:

    imgv and BuddyBear -- Gentle Musings on an Early Winter's Eve

    To fully appreciate it, you've got to open the zip file containing the pre-edited thread.

    I'll hunt out some more gems later on.

    Normally my choice of the best thread would be one that makes me laugh the most, but this year there have been some very informative/serious threads that made me make extra money and none that made me laugh.

    I know I have to be missing some others guys. Another one that could qualify was the Royal syndicate confiscation thread.

    Still two weeks left and a lot of good threads popping up. Too early to name the best in 2007 although that BetEd thread will be hard to beat.
