LOCK THREAD

I am closing this private group for now in support of Nail's thread. There is no reason to have 2 threads if the trolls are behaving on public thread but should the need arise we can always come back here and pick up where we left off. I appreciate all the hard work everyone put in here. If you have any thoughts on this decision then feel free to leave a post. Thank you all.

LOCK THREAD CONCEPT - This thread has been created for all of us to share our expertise with everyone else to benefit the group.

RULES FOR POSTING LOCKS & DOGS

- Post MAX 1 LOCK and 1 DOG per day, could be MLB, NFL, NBA, NCAAB, NCAAF, HOCKEY, WNBA, TENNIS, SOCCER, ANY SPORT THAT CAN BE EASILY TRACKED, more importantly a sport you know something about. If you are claiming your choice is a LOCK, and you really have NO true knowledge of that game, then you are just cheating us and posting your PICK just for attention and to see your name on the board. The LOCK week goes from Monday to Sunday, with weekly results posted each Monday on this thread.

- IF YOU WANT YOUR LOCK/DOG TRACKED, when choosing a LOCK, make sure you put LOCK in CAPS, and BOLD it, when choosing a DOG, please CAPS and BOLD as well. If it's not at least in CAPS it will not be tracked as a LOCK.

- No LOCKS where odds exceed -130 or greater, if you have a line greater than -130, you need to take the point spread or Run Line if you feel it is still a LOCK.

- No prop bets, parlays or teasers will count as a LOCK, but you are welcome to post them as plays.

- Please post the LOCK early enough so the thread can benefit from your LOCK


- An underDOG should be a team that is on the + side of the ML. EVEN or negative odds(-110) are not considered an underdog. 

- Do not try to cheat on lines. We, as a group, are all over the lines and every time someone gives a fishy spread, it is always called out. If the line is off, the LOCK will not count.

- ****MOST IMPORTANT RULE**** - You must give an original explanation as to why you KNOW this LOCK will win. Do not pull random posts off gambling websites, or other people's write-ups on different sites. We've been around a while to know the write up is not yours and you will be exposed. The write up should be your own, and give any information that will help the thread make good decisions based on the feedback you are providing. Don't STAT us to death, but the more information you can provide to strengthen your LOCK, would be much appreciated by all.

- You do not have to post a LOCK or DOG EVERY day just for the sake of posting, choose only the games that you are confident on, ultimately it goes against your overall LOCK record. Top Cappers will be based off winning %, not the excessive number of LOCKS you can win. Quality is better than Quantity. The difference between a PICK and a LOCK is that a pick is a game you like, a LOCK is a game that you KNOW. We are here to help each other win.

Thank you for your understanding and your help in keeping this thread for the benefit of everybody, not just a place for you to blather out random picks and toot your own horn.
