My Favorite Types of Posters

Here is a list of my five favorite types of posters. These are the types of posters thant make me LMFAO. Unfortunately, I am probably guilty of some of this too, so if anyone gets upset, too bad. If I can knock myself, I can knock anyone. I will not mention any names in here. I am in no way accusing anyone of fitting into these catagories, at least not in this post. In reverse order:

5. The Newby-Know-It-All poster. This is the new poster who immediately tells us that he is the greatest thing in gambling since the invention of the tote board, that he has a 94-6 record in his last 100 wagers, that he has made a million dollars last year, and that he has a system that can not lose. And all of that in his first post.

4. The Nice Guy "GL" Poster. This is not a real big deal, but for the life of me, I can't figure it out. They fall into two catagories. First, the guy who goes through every post in every sport where someone makes a pick and types "GL". Are they trying to make friend with everyone in here? Are they running for political office? Are they trying to up the number of their posts. Being nice is one thing, but posting 135 "GL's" is pushing it. Worse than that is the person who types "GL" to someone who has taken the opponent of the team that this guy has wagered on. Do you really want them to have "GL"? If they have "GL" and win their wager, you lose yours. Come on. Tell me you really want a guy who have wagered against you to have "GL".

3. The Conspiracy-Fix fans. These guys think that everything is a conspiracy, or a fix. Obama's win was a conspiracy. The 911 tragedy was a conspiracy. Iraq is a conspiracy. The economy is a conspiracy. When their team loses, the game was fixed. Fixed by the players, fixed by the coaches, fixed by the officials, fixed by the T.V. network, but fixed. The entire make up of this world is either one big conspiracy or one big fix.

2. The "I Never Lose a Wager and when I do Here Is Why" poster. These guys have an excuse for every wager they lose. They blame it on the officials, the coaches, the players, the announcers, and anything else they can blame it on. Now I may be wrong, but I know of only two reasons why you lose a sides wager. Either you played the favorite and they lost, or your team failed to cover the spread, as a favorite or a dog. Those are the only two reason. You lost because you took the wrong team. Live with it.

1. The "My Team Never Loses a Game and If they do, Here is Why" Posters. They are very much like the posters who never lose a wager, but talk about their team ad nauseum. In other words, they are HOMERS. Their team can never lose. Again, the excuses they use are the same as above, plus the scheduling, the weather, the fact that it was the wrong time of the month for a cheerleader, and anything else they can think of except the obvious. The obvious being that THEY LOST!!!

Now this was intended to offend no one. If it did, I will apologise now, but maybe you had better think about what I posted.

Pretty accurate stuff there


I like the guys who come here and are clearly a popular poster at another forum, acting like they will run things here from now on. They usually end up getting embarassed by someone, try to fight back, get ripped again by different people, and finally fade away.

A close second is the guy who tries to fit in by bashing on someone who has already been bashed, making someone else do all the work and giving them a pat on the back as well as making fun of the person who got owned. I wouldn't name any names but I don't think he posts here anymore anyways, poster Back Country was a prime example of this.

I like the ones who argue with some twinkish homo in the political mall for about the past 10 days then realize it's making them look like a ass...

Ya,me.
