Young man, you just don't get it.

That wasn't a bad beat, your bet lost.

Baseball games are 9 innings. Nine. Having a team score 2 runs late to go over the total isn't a bad beat.

Its getting real tiresome reading about every loss being a bad beat. About you being elite, among the best, and the many other superlatives you mention about yourself. I mean if it wasn't for bad luck and bad beats you would win every single bet. Combined with a 60+ percent claim about being amongst the best in the country.....just unbelievable. As has been stated many times, being 60% against the spread, and being 60% with teasers and point buying are 2 completely different things. Apples and oranges, and putting yourself in the same class as those that play the Vegas number and hit 60% is disingenuous.

Look, I hope you crush your bets, I really do. I want everyone to win.

My current football, NCAA and NFL, is 76-46-1. That is 61.8 %. No teasers and I have bought a half maybe 5 times if that. I took a beat on the NE/SEA UNDER on a 46 yd TD pass by Russell Wilson in the last minute. I didn't complain about a " bad beat". It's a 60 minute game, and I lost fair and square. I lost with San Diego last night after being up 24-0 at half. Again, 60 minute game and I lost. Not a bad beat, I lost.

I am having a great year so far, but I don't run around telling everyone how wonderful I am. I know things can change, and sustaining a 60% + win percentage.....against the spread..... Is difficult. I just had my first losing NFL week, things happen.

I stay humble, I keep grinding, I don't complain about a beat no matter how tough. I took 2 losses instead of pushes this weekend because a college kid couldn't kick an XP. Another loss came when the last play of the game ended on the 1 yd line. Stuff happens. We win games getting breaks, we lose them the same way.

"I undoubtedly lead the country in half/one run losses".

This quote....... C'mon Cat. News flash, you don't. Everyone takes beats. Tell me, how many games did you win by a half or one run??

Analyze the games, state your play. Stop with the chest puffing, stop the excuses. Winning players don't do this. Act like one.
Extremely well said. Couldn't have said it better myself.

He's young, he's enthusiastic, he's sharp.

I would like to see him focus on things he can control, not on things he can't, like tough beats. He has my respect as a handicapper, and I enjoy his write-ups. He's extremely well spoken and I look forward to reading more of his opinions.
