Question about these forums in general

I have a question that I cannot understand after all these years of being a part of many different sports betting forums.

How come in alot of forums, especially sports betting or handicapping forums similiar to this one, that the quiet posters who just go about thier business and kick major ass picking winner after winner and no one notices them or posts in thier thread, but posters who yell and scream for attention who hit .500 get all the praise and attention???

Does someone actually have to demand attention in these forums??

Just something that makes me sratch my head sometimes...

its the whole walk softly and carry a big stick theory, i dunno tommy but youre right...the ones who tout themselves up typically hover around 500 or lose and the ones who just quiety post their plays, wish everyone luck, etc always do well lol...
