When I talk to these guys it is like an unofficial GA meeting where you hear all the war stories, I guess it is good to hear them and make you think twice before betting again. A lot more guys are barreled in here than you think.

That's what SBR wants. That's why they pay so highly for your services. Yeah they hire Ganch to feature his tools, but I'd wager a pretty penny that they're paying you more. You are here to provide entertainment for the majority of people, who just so happen to be losing gamblers.
Without the entertainment this forum pays for, most of us would get sick of reading it and take longer breaks from gambling, especially after we're barreled in. You are a great tool because you soften the blow many of us feel, but outside from that you offer no upside other than preying on our weaknesses.
Anyone ever go on the www.ragingbull.com stock trading bulletin board site?It's about 1000 times bigger than SBR is ''no knock on SBR,it's just that stock trading is bigger than sportsbetting''.It's a widely know fact that stock selling boiler rooms and some small companies hire bashers and pumpers to manipulate stock prices.These people are actually paid for doing this.So JJ Gold is now the first paid basher-pumper,dumper of the sportsbook forum world.hehe!

When did you two go at it? I don't think I was registered here then or maybe I missed it. He is one of the hardest working mods here from what I've seen, we don't realize it because most of us flock to the entertaining threads, but anytime there's a book question or industry concern he is all over it. Plus they must field a lot of emails and complaints.
he is? I've yet to see him grade plays or contests like other mods have.. I've yet to see him mention a stat or a trend that supports why he likes something.. Couldn't they pay a machine to do what he does on here? Post picks with no reasoning, give out SBRs email address to those in need of assistance?
Him and I never went at it..

I chase all the time to be honest with you. If you read any post saying I try to bet sophisticated just consider it nothing more than a bold faced lie, when I am in holes I keep digging, and I've borrowed from relatives too, stolen jewelery. It is amazing that I've always kept my word with friends, and broken it with family members, also I have never reversed a charge or anything of that nature. It is weird how us real degenerate gamblers care so much about a word when the rest of the world views us as such scumbags anyway, maybe because we're all we have got or the only people who understand each other?
I'm just screwing around, trying to fit in with jj in terms of degeneracy, since it seems popular around these neck of the woods.
Sometimes reading these boards enables that part of your brain which has a need to "double up", if it's a financial situation, deposit enough so that you're content with betting a small %. Ask yourself this question- at the end of the day what's more important, a big win right away, or sustaining a good record of wins and turning a longer term profit? The games aren't going anywhere, attack 'em slowly but surely.
I can hardly commit to a serious relationship, let alone a stringent gambling formula. It is like dieting bro, if you are too strict the temptation to cheat will never go away. Likewise, if you're under betting games where you perceive you have a stronger edge than others, and you end up winning those games, you will start lamenting your decision to bet small and eventually push the envelope.
Be loose, bet whatever feels right but don't get carried away. Have a $50, 100, 250 size play etc, whatever makes the most financial sense without going crazy. Start tracking the plays you feel a higher edge on and see how they perform, if they are not much better than your smaller unit plays maybe you would be more comfortable just flat-betting and sticking to that system.
