[quote=old school;12069]i've been seeking attention on these boards for 3 years now, and still find myself far behind fezzik.....i've been posting straight sides and totals against current pinnacle lines for 3 years, and have showed a slight profit. I make it out like i've been a huge winner, by focusing on my record when it is good, and failing to mention it when, like this year, i am losing. So far, no one has realized that what i like to do is post well known tout plays before they get to the screen.
This helps a lot in beating the closing number. Also, i like to post my totals on wednesday, when pinny has a $500/$1000 limit and is often being manipulated.
In case that wasn't enough (and it obviously isn't as no one cares about me), i tell people at least 3 times per week that i have not lost in 43 years.
When it occured to me to try to be more humble in my incessant quest for attention, i came up with the idea to the let my people know that i might lose this year, and if i do, it will be the 1st time in 43 years.
When i first started, i made a handful of posts with various investment advice. One of them, purchasing gold, has out performed most other investment vehicles during that time. I have made sure to remind my people of this at least once a week since i first posted it.
However, despite my winded efforts, they still love fezzik more than me! Why? Because of his great contest record. So, every time he posts about his contests, i post to tell the people that it is easy to beat stale numbers, and that by posting against current pinnacle lines i am showing them that i am better and should be more popular than fezzik!
I cleverly disguise this reminder in a congratulatory manner to fezzik. After all this however, i am still way behind in post views and replies to him and i resent it to the core of my soul.[/quote]
