What is up here

This forum is by far the best handicapping forum Ive found but wtf is up with all the newbies here and the blatent tossing around of the word 'Lock' are these people not gamblers or is it just me?

It just makes me uneasy to see something Ive played and somebody has to make a post about this 'Lock' that they're on.I dont know about everybody else but I would think that if anybody saw a thread with 'Lock' in the heading they would just as well not even read it, I look at em but it just seems the word is getting tossed around here lately with no discretion.

Just my .02 worth ...it doesnt cause me to buy my wagers back just think that there are some new unexperienced posters joining the forum lately.

No locks coming from this direction, only lock I know about is that somebody's gonna win and somebody's gonna lose.

yea, its dumb, GOY stuff is good, not sayin lock and junk, cuz its not a lock, why u think books put it at a certain number, its usually close and in the middle which gives u a 50% chance mabey 60 if they get it wrong.

It's simple.

They want to make a "big bang" when they join so they tout the shit out of their plays with the words "lock" "sure thing" "easy" "GOY"

Then they lose, get called out, and throw a fit.

It's a constant cycle that will never end.

You want hype, then pick winners!!

You need to lighten up.

That was a joke.

I meant.....GOOD LUCK....but the typo made it out to be Good LOCK
