Thanks for your input. Haven't even looked at the tennis one. Will check it out when I can I guess.

Okay, so mostly the vote is 2-2 (on the first one at least) including these two voices and also wiper and solring.
On the PKR guy. I think there is some entertainment value there. And it can also be helpful for noobs who find themselves in semi-similar situations and asking similar questions, "hmmm, I won $1500 fast. Now I wonder if I can trust the site." And that's on top of the comedy of his response to the advice he received plus him basically red-flagging himself to me for any future discussions he may get involved in.
Obviously the content itself it is not hugely helpful for the vast majority of us but I think it does serve a bit more of a purpose than the threads of losing handicappers throwing their picks out there over and over and over in their own dedicated threads.
