You and I must have been on the same wave length LOL. What do you propose?

I don't know how to make it any more clear to you that you will not be allowed to participate in this thread until you formally acknowledge that what you said about me and my son was wrong, and you apologize for it. I have told you this numerous times in numerous threads and PM's, only for you to continue to act like a jerk and brush it off. Words are powerful and actions have consequences.

You clearly know a lot about sports betting and could add a lot of value to this thread, but if your 50+ years on this planet haven't taught you what is right to say and what isn't, and you aren't man enough to admit when you've crossed the line, then proceed to twiddle your thumbs. This is my final olive branch.

I understand your intent but you can't control who posts in the thread. It's not your journal. Probably best to keep this kind of thing off the boards.

I would like to open up the floor for any constructive criticism as to how we could improve this thread. Right now it is pretty straight forward. Just common sense guidelines:

► When predicting an event's outcome, get the prediction in before the start of the event.

► Each correct prediction nets you 1 point.

► The posters are ranked in descending numerical order, with the highest percentage of correct predictions at the top.

► HONOR SYSTEM: I will do my best to check out the outcome of every prediction, but need to know that I can take you at your word.

I would like to propose a rule, but I want to see how everyone feels about it. Some people may abuse the thread by coming in and making one-off predictions to get a 100% rating and then never return. I posit that if you are at 100%, you must make at least 1 prediction every 30 days to remain active. Otherwise, you will be relegated to INACTIVE status. Thoughts?

How about it takes 10 predictions to enter the pool that qualifies for ranking? This will entice members to make predictions, as there is some kind of reward.
