Its my fault that i come across as agressive sometimes when i am either messin around or just testing a guy i dont know. i feel that you are actually very honest and straight forward. as i have told cal, i have not once seen you bash in someones thread and i had no idea there was a history b/w you two previous to eog.com. there are many here whom posted on many many boards and know eachother from way back, i am meeting most here for the first time. cal has never bothered me, but most people dont bother me and when he did bash me for a bit, i gave him some good rep and kinda laughed. With him i did that but with others i do get defensive and come back at them...tho im typically enjoying the altercation. with you i think many are jealous that you are paid, plain and simple. whether you have 1 million dollars or 10 thousand makes no difference to me. someone who wins a lot thru wagering doesnt neccessarily save all that money, people have families and some people spoil others or do what they please. Im certain that if you were looking for a PC you would have done so behind the scenes and i never saw you ask for a thing. when people find someone who caps well and they can follow for a period, offers will undoubtedly come. its humbling really. I have seen you get a defensive and annoyed with people, but how could u not and it never seems as if something you hold on to. you seem to move on for the most part and who really cares if you are defensive or get annoyed sometimes? people seem to view things like this as a "weakness" or something to attack when its really called being human. I dont think its in any persons nature to allow others to walks all over something they take pride in.
and then some think that b/c you are complimented often you should just accept the bashing...well i dont see how that makes sense. you intent is to help....if your inetent is too help then compliments are warrented regardless of the results. you do not throw the pitches and you do not come in to save the games....you try to find values that u see more as an investment than a risk and thats not simple in any sport. and it certainly comes with pressure...each HR hit vs you is magnified by knowing 3 thousand people know your plays and saw that HR. and when you win its satisfying to a point....but i think that most people wager b/c they Expect to win. and if you achieve and expect result, its accepted, not celebrated by the one capping the event. Losses are the one that take their toll.
I think you do a good job, are certainly human, keep your opinions in your own thread and never make things too personal. and i know, from experience, that if there is something person you will talk with someone one on one, clearly not looking to one up anyone or gai attemtion from an e-battle. being in your position it would be Very easy to put some in their palce and be rude at times when u feel backed up and as if the games cant end soon enough. I think u do a good job with that.
I dont know much about cal, he doesnt bother me at all but he doesnt harrass me as he does some others. I think all you can do, and i see you do this, is invite people to fade you. if they dont like your plays, get tracked and play against them and see where they are at. either way they can use you as a source to their, perceived, benefit. all one can control is their intent and if its just, humble, and well natured, i dont see what more someone could ask for.
