My two cents.
This thread could have easily been called "An opportunity to readboard" and the title of the thread was a pretty good cue to what you were going to get when you opened it up.
I am a lousy bettor of horses but i get lucky occasionally. I don't post winners or claim success after the fact. I don't do that with stocks either. There is no risk in that...and really no gain.
JMS was just posting to the thread's title. Nothing wrong with that. However, JMS did make a statement about another's handicapping abilities and got called on it. At that point, as the saying goes, its **** or walk.
None of my business, but I find these challenges entertaining and i have yet to see someone actually go through with it. There was a guy that challenged me to football picks on another board and he lost...and paid. Small bet...fifty bucks. At the same time, the bragging rights were what mattered...and it was pleasurable to see him emasculated.
Come on JMS... take the bet. At very least, you gain a ton of crediblity.
