    Default best way to add a successful handicapping forum thats active....

    what are the suggestions? we have a state of the industry and a think tank. we have the individual sports forums and the main one. should we have something thats strictly sports/capping/numbers and if you violate those terms you are blocked from posting there for 1 month. something along those lines. idk, just kicking around some ideas...

    There are many times that I feel the main forum has to many people posting there picks. I think they should be in the appropriate area. You play devils advocate and think well I post them there for a bigger audience. For example Iwinyourmoney's play today. I'm sure cats jumped on who probably wouldn't have noticed it in the capping forum. On the flip side to that, if he lost he would catch shit. People saying "oh why did I play." I think it should be enforced, but not to the extent of a 1 month posting ban. I think 3 strikes before the posting ban.

    How is that different from the Think Tank?

    A section for bad beats and ranting could be fun. Similar to Brags, Beats and Variance from 2+2.

    add another forum or not? making this one more strict overall wont work, but maybe more strict with regard to plays?

    different because i dont see much sports talk in there....i dont see a lot about specific games either not a lot of breaking down matchups.

    Well how could you be more strict w/ plays? How could you pick and choose? What would the criteria be?

    leave it the way it is.

    the think tank/state of the industry forums are great and the idiots can play here.

    I think the forum setup right now is great. But..

    The only problem is the disconnect between the Players Talk and the specific sports ones. Especially for In-game threads, I find the discussion is often broken into several threads, and itd be nice to have it all in one.. I'd like to see everyone try to post their thoughts on specific games in the actual In-game thread in the specific sport forum, rather than in their own individual bet threads or other threads in Players Talk.

    Leave things alone, it aint perfect, but everytime a new forum is started, there will be someone else who thinks another new one is needed,JMO

    Theres a bunch of people in each mainsports catagory that has their daily plays tracked. Why not have a section for that ? This way other threads arent bumped to the second page when the person that has there last 300 picks posts and bumps it from the 1st page.

    Tighten up the 'best plays' threads as well. Merge threads. Theres always numerous threads about the same game going on at once, and theres really no need for it.

    Im new here but those are what I dislike about the site everything else i love.
