I have a some what far fetched idea to help improve the RX. Here it is:
When you go to post let's say on the right hand side where all the icons are now, you could have a box that says "post pick", you than click on that box which leads you to a up to the second "sportsbook" type page.
You than post a pick(like you would at a book and make ALL picks be the equivalent to a $100 play, no more no less) this can be in your thread or someone elses thread and when this post is submitted it is posted with a heading around it that this an official play from so and so. Now the cool part (and I am not a computer whiz and this may involve way too much to get going) when you submit this info it is saved and stored under your poster info.
Now when the results come in, underneath your avatar where you have your current info for everyone to see it would have a "fake" amount (all $100 plays or 1 unit) of money you are up or down based on your plays submitted in any thread. So lets say when I posted anything, anywhere it would say my name,location, how long I have been a member than a + or - units next to my name, you can than click on my name and could see if I have any pending plays stored if you wanted to follow. This would put EVERYONE on the same playing field with the lines and units played per game. Now the hardest part would be the program or your site would have to grade every play but I can't imagine this wouldn't be to difficult, I may be wrong.
Like i said I am sure this far fetched but I think this would seperate this forum from other "sports wgering" info forum's. In reality isn't this the main reason people come to this site is for gambling info and who everyone is following. This would once and for all put an end to everyone's record and who is the best guy to follow. If it was easy enough you could add little things like how many plays the guy has made and seperate the records in each sport. Maybe have a page with the leading cappers of all time, in each sport and who's hot and who's not.
Just thinking out loud, I'm sure it would be alot of work but I think it would be HUGE in the continued growth and success of the RX.
