My newest Mall pet peeve

The use of the "inside information" title to try and attract viewers.

I have seen it posted about 100 times lately and have yet to see one real bit of "inside information". Why? Because it doesn't exist

And don't use the tired arm, they are wearing their red uniforms, it is 95 degrees in their stadium etc.

The real problem with this is unfortunately, there are alot of people here who blindly follow plays and this kind of misinformation is irresponsible. If you really have some "inside information" and I think the chance of anyone having this who is posting here at about .0000001%, then post the reason. (And it better be good), because I will be watching closely

On mainstream sports sure II is less common. Not so much on more minor betting markets though. Considering the posts you are refering to Gerk are pretty much all mainstream, I agree its not something I like either.

Yes, This is the only legitimate one I remeber in 5 plus years here, unless I am missing something

My biggest problem is the fact that some people will blindly follow these posts thinking there is something that person knows. Hard to believe, but true. It is nothing but an attention gaining tool and we have enough of those out there without irresponsible ones like this.
