    Who has the best picking record here (percentage wise)?

    By percentage wise I mean I'd rather pick someone who is 100-57 than someone who is 200-176. So far, the people looking good are:

    LT Profits 41-24
    ShivaBowl 63-44
    Kishipp 75-44 (pretty impressive)
    BrianLaverty 49-33
    CHAZ 12-6 (up and coming)
    LTA Love the action 51-37

    Anyone else?

    I'm not doing to bad so far...

    45 - 26 = 65%

    Records dont mean squat in baseball due to the money line ....you can be 50-30 and still be losing money if you're losses were on heavy favorites......what's more important is the units record.

    baseball is a very efficient/sharp market:

    beating the market > units wons > records

    Successful baseball bettors are the ones that spot trends before the public or even Vegas catches on.

    That's actually an interesting point. I see what you are saying but I'm not sure if a random SBR poster would be able to develop something unique that doesn't reflect in the market right away. I'd feel much safer tailing a guy that beats the no-vig closer then a guy that "might" have found something "new".

    There's an art to predicting trends.

    Units is of course most important, BUT I've been concentrating more on totals where the juice for the most part does not go higher then -125.


    Metsy, LTA and Dexter are the two best all around here at SBR in my opinion. Consistent and have been around the block a time or two. You should go through and read some of LTAs insight in his threads whether you agree with the play or not they can easily teach you a thing or two.
