Since you didn't reply to this in your last post, I'll propose it one more time.
CasinoMan:
With all due respect, you sound exactly like the touts on the radio and TV and your false claims have no place here. Nobody hits as high as you claim and there are no exceptions, none.
Many years ago, one noted publication had a standing proposition paying 100-1 to anyone who could pick 70% winners over a 100-game period. The few who took up the challenge were eliminated after just a handful of weeks. There has never been a single instance that I personally know of, where 70% has been achieved in any sport over a 100-game span. Further evidence is shown by the long history of handicapping contests in Nevada, where not a single winner has accomplished the 70% mark.
Let this not be perceived as negativity. The challenge of handicapping pits the handicapper against the linemaker. The latter is far from infallible. Notwithstanding the luck factor and the basic nature of sport, where performances constantly vary, there are spots where an astute handicapper can have an advantage. If he does this with some consistency, he can become more than a match for his adversary, the linemaker. There is a real difference between the ‘educated guess’ and ‘pure luck’ approach, however. The ‘educated guess’ requires intelligence, hard work and dedication, not a bunch of BS.
These games are not scripted. Those who claim to be in possession of some exclusive classified information that will absolutely and positively decide the outcome of a game are simply looking to scam you. Also, no matter what label is given to any one game, i.e. ‘Lock of the Year’, ‘Game of the Month’, ‘Million Dollar Star’—the unpredictable factors of sports—are inherent in every game. The people that claim differently are not legitimate. They are unconscionable charlatans, parasites and predators. Plain and simple!
Funny how you use the excuse of missed foul shots when you lose but we don't hear that when you win. 75% of all these games are decided by luck. A missed foul shot, a gimme bucket at the buzzer, etc, etc, and there isn't a crystal ball in the world that can prdict these things.
If you are a cash machine, why do you need someone's credit card number to make 100.00 when you can bet as much as you want on any game and not have to hustle the unsuspecting? Why? Please answer this. Well, actually you can't because there isn't an answer in the world that's justified. You can bet anything you want CasinoMAN but instead you choose to try and hustle someone for their credit card number or a couple of hundred lousy bucks.
Lastly, if you want to make some easy money, because I won't hit nearly as much as you claim, I'll put up $5000.00 in any sport against you for the course of a whole season and winner takes all. We can send the money to the General, providing he agrees and he'll pay out the winner. A season too long to tie up that much? Ok than, how about a half season and you name the price and I'm in anywhere from 5000.00 to $20,000.00.
