Usually I sit around 60% with NFL maybe a little lower and usually 60+% in college football...... I've only lost 7 of my last 24 plays lol... I understand there are going to be hot streaks and cold streaks but this is ridiculous. Either I'm Rain man or vegas is crapping the bed and making these picks waaaaayyy to obvious.... I obviously feel it's the latter lol.... Anyone else have any thoughts on this? I'm riding this streak until the wheels fall off, not pulling my money till I lose 3 times in a row. I'm about to shut my bookie down for the second year in a row. He's not happy to say the least. BOL everyone
hno:
You're right mookie... I'm clearly not getting the hang of this bookmaking thing .... This sports betting thing is kicking my ass to the name of +1,251$ In the last 4 days.... Pretty good for a guy making 10-50$ bets thru a local small scale bookie who "clearly doesn't understand, vegas linesmakers and sports betting......" You don't think I realize vegas is a multi-billion dollar industry..? Maybe instead of bashing you should stop and think, hey maybe I should ask that person what they're doing right. I've been betting sports for a little bit now, and im a former professional athlete with a decent amount of knowledge about sports. I came to this forum to find good cappers with real knowledge, not simpletons like yourself. I appreciate the "wake up call" mookie, but Ill keep tooting my horn to sound of money making its way into my wallet.... Thought about posting a couple intriguing lines I saw just now that look fairly easy. But I guess I'll stop touting lol. This site isn't about helping other bettors, it's about jealousy and envy.... I got it now lol... BOL to your future endeavors in the sports betting world mookie, sounds like you need it boss.... As for varkey, you've got some solid plays bud, nice insight too, keep doing your thing man.
quack, which is a VERY fitting name for you BTW, you do realize that all long-term bettors go 17-7 at some point, right? Even when their lifetime win rate is 46%? That's one of the things that keeps the long-term losers coming back. They run good for a while and think they've finally figured it all out, at which point they give all their short-term profits (plus some) away.
I’m not saying that you’re not a winning bettor. I don’t have enough information to make that determination. I do know, however, that you’re not a 60%+ bettor. They don’t exist. If you honestly think that you’re 3-to-2 or better vs. Vegas then you’re stupid or delusional --- or both.
Being a former pro athlete and knowing a lot about sports are both fairly useless in this endeavor. Some of the most knowledgeable sports fans I know are long-term losers. And there are plenty of ex-pro athletes losing week after week after week. If just knowing a lot about sports was enough to be a long-term winner then there would be a TON of long-term winners. But there AREN’T many long-term winners, because doing so just isn’t that easy.
As I said, you might be a winning bettor. You might have found a tiny edge. But Vegas knows more about handicapping than you will if you spend every waking hour from now until you die trying to become the world’s best handicapper. If you don’t know that, then you’re ever stupider than I originally thought.
Anyway, back to your RIDICULOUS 60% claims: anyone can say it 60%+. Start posting your plays EVERY week. If we go through ONE full season and you’re at 60% in the NFL and 60+% in college football (100 play minimum --- so that you can’t go 4-for-6 and then quit) then I’ll make a public apology and I’ll send you $1000 via ******. The flip side is that, when you don’t hit 60% over that year, you acknowledge publicly that I am right --- you’re not a 60% bettor. Agreed?
