Dude, believe me, it hasn't. Philly is a legend and is probably the only person who I would let do this. He's just having some fun.

I guess. I'm sure he is a great handicapper and everything he is saying is true.

But seriously should we all start wanting our ego stroked?

It's amateur hour posting winning tickets on here and putting one word posts.

You worked super hard to make this place the way all of us love it and this guy has no respect for what you put into this?

Maybe I need to pull the pickle out of my ass but I just dont get this humour.

I am sorry for getting anyone upset, I am just having fun. Life is too short to be so serious all the time.. Good Luck to everyone and Keep cashing..

However there are several winners on there that are risking 1 to pay 6.5 and we aren't talking $10 bets here. I didn't take the time to figure it up but in the picture alone there is $1800 at risk and something like $5000 won. Even if there are another 20 losers at $200 a pop that we aren't seeing we are still talking about $5000+ at risk on a Sunday. The fact that these pictures are posted Sunday after Sunday shows me that if PGF is losing consistently then he is throwing away thousands of dollars every month just to have a twitter persona. I find this unlikely.

I personally want to be sharp and I have been researching constantly to get better at this but I am not doing it just to have a good record on twitter. I want to get to the point where I can confidently risk hundreds and maybe thousands on every game I play. I respect anyone that has the capacity and confidence to do so.

If you followed PGF in baseball he posted plenty of baseball picks on twitter (despite his pregame affiliation) and plenty were losers. I don't think there is a fear of posting losers.

We have embraced So Money Sports and he has embraced us back by helping us out at this forum.

I say we embrace this too. Lets actually try to be a group that doesn't hate every opportunity we get and maybe another gambler with 2000+ followers might show up around here more often and who knows maybe even give us some insight on why he plays what he plays.

Square or not the Ravens were the highest rated play I had going into this Sunday and I didn't bet it solely because of the thread in here that said "Go Chargers" and had the dancing man underneath. I'm glad I didn't.

I totally understand where you are coming from and I get where "persona" wise So Money and PGF are totally different.

I even have made a spread sheet where I track every play that So Money makes with the rating I got on that particular game. I keep nothing of the sort for PGFs plays.

However, I am an observer, I consider it a strong point, and this is what I saw. A guy that obviously gambles for a living and makes large wagers said "Go Chargers". This caused me to look a little closer at what I thought was a sure play on the Baltimore Ravens. I don't feel like it is anyone's responsibility to make a detailed write up so that I can learn something. It is my responsibility to find the information that can help me make sound wagers. The only person that can make me get better at this is me. I have not made one insightful write up in this forum about one game but I assure you that the work goes into every play I make.

I know we don't want a bunch of hacks and touts invading this forum but is that really what we just witnessed? Its not like a $5 bettor waltzed in and laid down his can't miss picks with a link to his blog.

I mean if Billy Walters created a profile and started a thread last night that just said "Cowboys"...would we chastise him?

We are a part of a gambling forum guys. At what point is it ok to say that wanting to get sharp doesn't mean that we cant have fun and we don't have to be holier than thou about every pick we make.

If I slam a big parlay I want to be able to come post it here without having to post my losing tickets too and without having to do a write up about why I picked who I picked.

Ok..the jig is up. I can't hide it any longer. I am really Billy Walters. ITG is just one of my nicknames over at the Zoo.

Now, I might be inclined to merge his two threads, but perhaps I'll leave that up to Parrill for moderation.
