Questions on forum rules

[blackchipjim]

I wanted to ask a few questions on the guidelines or rules of the new forum if I may. My first question would be is this an open forum or is glovesetc the sole oddsman here. Are others able to critique the picks and discuss the picks or underlying factors. If we have another professional oddsmaker come in here and add or subtract to the knowledge base will there be problems and how will they be dealt with. I not trying to be funny or ridiculus just had a few questions now and a few more later that I don't have the time to address right now. blackchipjim

I have no problem with a professional coming in here . The more the merrier I would think . Better check with Ken thopugh for the final say on that . Anyone can post picks as far as I am concerned .Discussion on any of my picks is fine but I do not want any pissing contests . I believe my record stand on its own merits and no one need follow my advice . As all know I do not discuss my picks and what method i take to get there but anyone else is welcome to as far as I am concerned . Personally I show respect to everyone who comes in - even InPlay - who is the room statician as well - and actually turned out to be a great guy after he saw I was what I said I was ! He keeps track of what I do . I can see no problems as long as they are respectful of all just not me . The reason the room was formed is cause I was getting alot of e-mails that people were finding it hard to wade through alot of posts in the old thread that were not about my picks . This I hope makes it easier for everyone is all . Streamlining it if you please . Problems ? Like what ? I would asume Ken would handle that as the owner of the forum!!! I am not the owner!!! No one is forced to use my picks nor do I pimp them as well . They are the picks we put together and that we bet. You can use them for your own guidance or go against them but then again you will go to the poorhouse I would think . My record speaks for itself . I { and Ken I would assume } respect anyones view and whoever comes in is always welcome as well as long as they are respectful . Hope I answered all of your questions!!

I think it would be beneficial if others would come in. And why not let the section expand to cover all sports according to whatever talent we can attract? Glovesetc would still be the kingpin, just like in the case of zengrifter and the Zen Zone, which has numerous topics and people posting and starting threads. One of his jobs might be to keep this sports betting forum from degenerating into an amateur free for all by encouraging contributors to keep it as business and scientific as possible. There could be special threads, I suppose, for voodoo sports betting and the like, to keep them segregated from serious discussions. Maybe with some tutoring by Glovesetc and other experts, participants could be guided into the ways and methods of the professional sports bettor. After all, it's just another advantage play, and that's what Blackjackinfo is all about--advantage players helping other advantage players and AP hopefuls.

Well said aslan as this is the forum to help people win and cut or eliminate losses to their bookies and or casinos . I agree totally and perhaps others will agree as well. Any comments bettors ?

I'd be interested in having a sub-section on horses as I'm a small-time player as well as a managing partner on a partnership (two yearlings to race mid-2009). I'd love to have an area other than my racing forums (that are more into the industry survival) where I could discuss the advantage of the exotic wagers (trifectas, supers, etc.) with others who are successful in placing those wagers.

I've had those kinds of days...I'll drop Ken a note as soon as I can get to it.

Not a bad idea to have a place for all sports betting including horse racing. Whether that's here or somewhere else on the Forum is as Glovesetc says, up to Ken in his wisdom. My gut is that there should be someone with expertise in the field to honcho it. Maybe you're that one--I don't know. But I am overall happy with Glovesetc's overall savvy when it comes to betting in general. It would not be farfetched to have him the overall honcho of the Sports Betting section of the Forum, with experts in different specialized sections, like NFL, horse racing, hockey, NBA, etc. Of course, that is again Ken's bailiwick, and also up to Glovesetc as to how much responsibility he might be willing to assume.

I don't think I could be considered the racing expert...maybe for SoCal/AZ tracks given I live here and know some of the trainers personally and their prefered jocks/horses for race lengths. But I'd definately be looking to invite someone who's been doing well in his analysis over on a general racing forum if he's willing back-up his history with some stats.

We'll have to put out a notice. "Wanted, horse racing expert needed. Salary is no object. What we mean is, there is no salary. Apply within."
