Ok, so there have been complaints in the past about Micro via this thread , http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/55...m-mod-1152462/ and I backed micro in the past.

However, lately he has become intolerable in the sportsbetting forums
I will provide quotes from posters as evidence. Many of the quotes will be from this thread. However, there are other threads that highlight his trolling mentality, cluelessness about sportsbetting , and generally not having respect by any of the posters in the sb forum.

Itt http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/40...65/index9.html , The op begins a thread in which he posts his MLB plays. Op is offered a propbet by another poster. Op politely refuses for said reasons. But microbob fails to read and tries to belittle the op.

OP responds with


Microbob of course admits to not being able to read and responds with

Of course after cheering the OP on , this happens

This post occured after 2 posters tried to bash the op. The op also had a few supporters as well. Things had gotten back on track and the OP was winning his games. A normal mod would usually try to calm things down or try to maintain control and give warnings so the trolling does not continue . What does MicroBob do?

and of course microbob is met with criticism







The op makes a post calling Microbob out for being a bad mod.
Microbob responds with


Microbob is met with criticism again






Another example of Microbob simply trolling again and being made as an ass by a couple of posters.
One poster makes a friendly post

Micro of course makes another troll post without doing any research on the op

Microbob is met with






Here is a last post via this thread http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/40...0/index10.html in which things get nasty again
and a poster makes a suggestion to urge microbob to leave and other posters chime in


In conclusion I think MicroBob has TOTALLY LOST the respect of the posters in the sports-betting forums and he is really the worst mod ever .Most of the posts are condescending and he has really struggled to mod the sports betting community. The green Name has really gone to his head.
Micro must go

Microbob's posts r a bit quirky / trollish in general....... Kinda amusing at times , I can see how it could be frustrating having him mod your forum at times

lol @ this being a thread, lol @ chronicfever's existence.

bob's not the best, but he's not bad, and he's good enough for now. he doesn't know much about sports betting, but at the moment, nobody else who does has stepped up. we'll eventually figure something out, and when we do, it won't be an atf thread that solves it. we'll take care of it ourselves.

chronic is possibly the dumbest poster in the forum, and that's saying quite a lot.

LOL , I'm not going to derail the purpose of this thread and respond/prove anything to someone as low and bitter as you.
but it is kind of funny that you were the one that made the suggestion which really has me

Perhaps you did not read the op and missed this post.

The whole point of a mod is to moderate.... By egging me on, he is doing the opposite. Obviously if he is going to be a mod, he can't show favorites nor should he actually stir **** up even more. He has to figure out what hes doing, or stop being a mod IMO.

What are the odds that this thread will result in him being demodded?

You guys should know this one.

meh, i'm pretty sure neither chronic nor brianl have a very good grasp of odds/math/probability

Fwiw, chronic and Brian are not exactly considered the brightest bulbs in the forum. If I have lost them, that's probably not a bad thing.

What are you talking about? Why can't I show favorites? You're just making up nonsense rules.

Of course I have favorites. The guy who says he knows everything about handicapping baseball and/or freaks when somebody offers him a simple bet isn't one of them.

Still time though. Post better and you can be one of my faves too. I'm quick to forgive. In fact, posters who adjust and get better tend to impress me even more than those who are already solid and just stay that way.

Chronic, the guys you are quoting who are criticizing me...are not criticizing as much as you think and you have real problems with context. Some of those people very much support me as mod there. I do welcome feedback and open discussions after all. They know I listen.

Anyway, everyone in that thread had cooled out and moved on. Most of us are fine now. Too bad you are not and/or can't figure that out.


I don't think survivors are allowed anymore but I would be happy to do one against you. Regulars would vote. Loser has to leave the forum. You game?

Given the amount of strange characters in the Sports Betting forum, I don't see anyone else doing a better job than Bob at the moment. However, he should be more diplomatic when responding to posters. At times he's a little condescending and tries to fit in with the regulars. The way he posted in the BrianL thread was not how a mod should react to a new poster. The fact that he may not be knowledgeable about Sports Betting as much as the regulars is actually a good thing in my opinion since it keeps him apart. So, when he trolls newbies it seems strange and out of place. I just think you should scale back a bit and let the forum breath without jumping down anybody's throat. Just take it easy ...

I do think Bob should stay as mod though. Maybe a compromise could be reached if we have two mods? The only candidate worthy of consideration is Wiper who would add a good balance to the SB forum.

168 posts and decideds to chime in in this thread. Care to share why you're posting on a gimmick account.


Actually read all the posts and looks like MB is a huge troll. Id like to invite him over to bbv to join us. Give in to the darkness MB bbv is your home now

I didn't read the op, but it's really long so Microbob should go.

Mike, newbies who are learning are fine. Newbies who brag they have made more money than others and already know everything deserve to be mocked. Big big difference. The guy is a problem, albeit an entertaining and overreacting one.

Also new posters who seriously try to say another handicapper isn't very good because they are 11-12-1...about the same as digging up some poker graph of a guy being down after 300 hands and then using it as evidence that he knows nothing about poker.

This guy would get torn apart in a poker strategy forum with his behavior. There is no reason for everyone to stay out of his thread and be nice to him due to his own professed greatness. Yet, for the most part, posters were way nicer than he deserved, including me. one poster politely offers a bet and that sets him off into multiple posts about how great he is, how he makes more money than others, how he's posted screenshots on other forums to prove this, etc etc. It was weird. Nobody knew where the heck it came from. So I told him it was weird. Which was fine to do.

Again fwiw, none of that has anything to do with me trying to fit in. And me advising others to be careful if they really were going to blindly follow some guy they knew nothing about was genuine and solid advice.

Some serious overreacting and taking things way to seriously.

Regardless, joking around with a poster who is bragging he knows everything should kind of be allowed. It's not being done for fitting in purposes. I see a guy bragging nonsensically and I kind of tried to get him to stop by explaining how ridiculous he looked. He didn't react well to that.

Regardless of all this and the quality of posting ability of the two main guys who have an issue with me, I have posted in the thread that I am listening and that I accept feedback. Multiple posters are taking me up on that. Others, ahem...chronic, are just continuing on some weird crusade to get rid of me because I suck.

I feel most of the forum is cool with me there. My idea to add a couple others to communicate with and bounce ideas off of is one I have mentioned and very few had problems in there anymore really. All that stuff was done.

Brian is still free to post his picks if he wants. A different poster showed a screenshot of his closing lines which seemed different to what Brian was claiming he got as far as closing lines. And Brian reacted really harshly and then politely asked me to close his thread...which I did.

That came after Brian's out of the blue brag about his amazing ability to beat close all while ripping a different poster about how he better know how important that is because its like totally fundamental etc etc. This is roughly the same as bragging that he knows how to raise preflop with aces while telling another poster "hope you know how to do that. I really know my stuff here. It's like crucial." Umm, what?. It was just a very weird thing to say...especially out of nowhere.

So post picks and stop being weird. I would be fine with that if Brian would like to start fresh. He is welcome to post whatever picks he likes.

But if he decides not to, then sorry for ruining his big plans to use 2+2 to go tout I guess.

care to explain all of your posts in BrianL's threads?

I can't believe I need to explain this to you since you have difficulty detecting sarcasm or brags at times
When BrianL says , "I know all there is to know about capping MLB"
do you really think he means it?
I mean he was steaming from another argument from the other thread in which you kept on trying to egg him on. and his post was to tell the other poster that He is a good baseball capper.

for the outsiders that don't frequent the sb thread often. Here are a few quotes from the LC thread from Microbob and his critics
Is this how a Mod supposed to behave?


BrianL and another regular poster argue over their handicapping methods and as bitter as the convo sounded it was actually productive.


but of course MicroBob can't act like a mod and instead calls one of them idiots. I could care less about him taking either side but the fact that a mod calls another poster an idiot speaks alot

In this episode, A regular poster posts quality picks but Microbob fails to realize it and deletes his post.
The exchange is with a regular and MicroBob . Is this how a mod supposed to be treated? Again, Microbob has lost control



Microbob of course responds with his usual , you are weird or an idiot manner

Why do you guys think I care about being accepted by the 2p2 crowd? Lets face it... you guys aren't the most socially acceptable people in the world. Most of the people on 2p2 are the people who look down at the ground when talking because they lack real life confidence. Do you really think I care about being accepted by that group of people?

You can say what you want about how I am a newbie... but people in the betting world know me and a quick google search on me would show that I have consistently posted winners for 5+ years.... I might be new to the ***** 2p2 crowd, but do research. I'm well respected in the betting world-- not for my lack of math or proper bankroll management but because I know how to cap a game. Excuse me for defending myself the only way I know how-- but I think its hilarious that people are saying I'ma lifelong loser in the game when I've been able to make a comfortable living from it over the last 5 years. Its alright when you guys think you know more then you actually do, but its not alright when I'm a little cocky?

Chronic, don't forget about the aspect of all this being talked through and it being over now. Good job. Keep up the good work.

You're not up for the survivor?

Brian, being a little cocky wasn't the issue at all. Post your picks. Share your thoughts on handicapping. You are still welcome to. Others are also welcome to provide feedback....or offer bets. You don't seem to take that very well though.

I did post my picks.. everyday... thats all I wanted to do... didn't want a million posts about how I'm a lifelong loser when they know absolutely nothing about me.... Thats where you are supposed to come in, but instead you chose to antagonize.

I understand if people who posts picks or even decent opinions criticizing me because they have shown there worth. But WTH is Iowa? The guy has no clue what it takes to actually cap a game, yet his criticizing me because my lines are off and I don't always get the +EV number on all my bets. Yet, if you look at his past posts, he doesn't actually post any picks or opinions... He just criticizes everyones else's hard work, and that just shouldn't be allowed. I've asked around and did some research and he is a lifelong break even sports capper.... Who is he to criticize ANYONE?

Again, Microbob has difficulty understanding this . Ever since he became a mod , the regulars have stressed this out to him , but he feels the need to put his nose in the bushes every time he gets a chance.
Its pretty hilarious how MicroBob derails and trolls threads.
As for a change, I'm not sure why people are scared of change. Just have him gone,
I mean How much worst could the next mod be? really?

All it takes to mod the forum courtesy of B00t is :

1. If someone posts blatant spam to touts, affiliate links, or blogs, delete it.

2. If someone is spamming with 40 posts in a row being disruptive, delete them.

Otherwise let it be.

That's it.


Microbob fails to understand that and never will




I have no idea who still wants to keep you as a mod
People are lazy and don't really like to take action in general. I'm very certain if some one else steps up to be a mod , you will be gone
I have no idea why you want to keep this mod job anyways
YES, everyone cooled down but the fact is , you have a screw loose and you will revert back to being the troll mod that you always are .


Not sure how this survivor thing works , and thanks for the pad on the back.
But sure I will pm 2-3 people and ask them to become mods and we can take a poll and we will see where you come in? is that how it works?
We will choose Wiper since he has no problem being a mod

Microbob vs Wiper? should I make a thread in SB or take a poll here?

Chronic - No. The survivor is between you and me. The regulars take a vote and one of us leaves.

I don't think they are allowed anymore anyway so it's kind of a moot point. But thought I would offer and then if you accepted we could go from there and see if we are allowed to do it.


I'm not going to comment any more on your other nonsense. I already said I was listening and that I am adding assistance. I'm even listening to you even though you take pretty much every comment/quote out of context.

You posted in the SB forum that you were starting this thread in here. The gang isn't exactly flocking here to agree with how right you are.

The vast majority of the regulars are reasonably okay with me being there. Not enamored with it or think I'm the greatest guy ever, but also not all-out against me as you are.

What do you think the SB forum opinion is of you as a poster?
