Duke, great point. Maybe Hizz would be open to sharing his previous 40 Diamond record and his current record to clear things up?
To add some length to this, and my opinion, I think 23-10 is really great. Way to go Hizz. We can't win them all and at least he has the balls to post his plays, help many followers WIN some dough, and take the criticism like a man when they do not. At the end of the day, it really is a coin flip. You can have all the trends, inside info, injury reports, best team on paper, etc, and teams like Phily lose to Ariz. So being on the right side with "diamonds", GOY, etc is still only ones best guess. Hizz is not a paid pro...or is he? Regardless, fade or follow, and if you do not like it, challenge him and let Charlie hold your money.
The Problem: New guys coming into PG have no clue of who is good in the forum and who is not. So criticism is going to come hard. I personally follow 5-7 guys on here, which has taken me about 5yrs to figure out who is good at what sport. And sometimes even they shit the bed, but I am the one that made the bet, not them.
Possible Solution: Personally, I would like to see all posters post records like Duke and what Hizz has recently done. Post your records of "major" sports and whatever way you choose to track (i.e. Diamonds, Reg Season, Playoffs, Total Games, etc) from Jan 1, 2024 - Dec 31, 2024. I think that putting the past two-three year records like Duke has done of is even better, but not many want to track their records due to literally 2-min of extra work or for whatever reason. If done this way, who knows, maybe you get the nod from Pregame to request funds as a "Pro" and if not, know you did your best to help others win some dough.
Soooo, in closing, if Hizz chooses to post a regular season record in NFL of: 62-47, and a "Diamond" record of 12-18, or if reversed, then PG followers (not leaders) know what to take and then keep their mouth shut if those games do not win, and if they do, send a private or better yet, a public thank you if they do.
