Serious question about posting record--no B.S. Please

Guys: (Seasoned and respectable cappers, preferably moderators):

"In light of my Ali-like return to the ring" **, I would like to post my season record, and not just this Sunday/Monday's games (which I went 4-0). It would seem more admirable since this was just one of those NFL weekend's.
However, I know the rules, and will post my record starting with this weekend if that is the consensus. Please fill me in. I have been here a while, and respect what goes on here in the upmost!!

BTW: The delay in postings was also a delay in action--2 cross country moves takes a lot and betting sometimes goes on the back-burner!!

Thanks guys!!

If you keep a record it should be accurate and only contain plays that you have posted here

I thought he wanted to start at 2-0. Now he is 3-0? And if he has not taken a loss, where did the 1/2 unit come into play? I say make him start over and clearly post his plays. Too much confusion otherwise. But the bottom line remains this: Who gives a caca? IMO, the only people who have to post their records are the ones that need the attention. Ask any big time gambler in Vegas if they post their W-L record or how much money they have won.

His plays were "clearly" posted and you're a self-proclamied smart guy so do the math

I disagree with the attention, I wouldn't follow anyone who didn't post a record.........The reason they don't post in Vegas is because they have a losing record........I post to help others if I can, I can stop today, doesn't matter to me.........I play for more and more games than I post on here...If you post your plays on a site, you should keep a record....That's just my Opinion BigDaddy.......Everyone have a Good day, Knock!

As Yank has said earlier, this question has an easy answer, If the picks were posted on this site, they can be posted as part of your record, if not, they cannot. It's pretty clear cut.

As far as posting of records, there are MANY people on this site who post their records that don't seek attention, at all. It is often the people who don't post records that are the attention seekers.

Unfortunately, alot of people want to follow the ones who post with the most hype because that automatically makes them the better capper. The more sophisticated viewer knows where to find the winning cappers, hype or no hype

There's nothing at stake really, you can post what you want.
If you fudge the stats it's like cheating at golf anyway since you're not playing against anyone but yourself.
