I'm creating this thread to post my 12day summaries. I didn't start this year until mid February, due to slow business season, and thus no accounts offshore.
I'm making this Topic primarily as a control on my own investing suggestions. By keeping a public record, it forces me to be much more selective and careful in what I 'tout' as being good choices. And of course, when I'm more careful, I do much better in the event I actually invest.**(see below)
A short background:
I've been following sports investing since my college days in early 80s. I first went online in 1999 and quickly learned how offshores work. Then I plugged in at the VegasInsider forums, where I posted on and off for about 18 months until gravitating over to Ibettor in early 2000, where I took on one of the moderator jobs until the demise of the site late last year. I also plugged into EE in 2001, primarily to use the Hockey forum and still post there today with my one other cyber moniker HOLYCOW.
I love the mental exercise and stimulation of handicapping sports and of course the great feeling that comes from being correct about my own work. But I also have a busy business schedule and therefore I often rely on the information provided by others. Therefore, a Bar n Grill 'pick card' is usually a combination of my own work and the work of others.
** For the purpose of legalese, all information shared is for entertainment purposes only. I'm not admitting that any actual wagers are taking place...BUT IF wagering were fully legal where I live AND I were to be wagering, these are the selections I would use. (Get it?)
Note that I've decided to summarize in 12 day segments, 30 per year. Helps me to keep off of the 'last day of the week' scenarios etc.
The goal of course is to have more winning segments than not, more winning days inside each segment than not.
I have learned that when I really invest the needed time into a sport (usually 2+ hours per day per sport) I do as good as most people I've seen in cyber forums. Here's hoping that this initial boast will inspire me to be even MORE careful about what I post and therefore of more value and enjoyment to all.
Off to pack a bowl...Let's all have a great year.
