i followed the thread for several pages and couldn't believe what i saw, he was picking games with ease, and although he is only about 70% (which is amazing), he picks his spots to make his big multiple unit plays. He almost never loses when playing 4+ units.
So on christmas day, i remember he posted that he was taking the under in like all the games and he picked a few more games, i remember he went something like 5 for 6 on that day.
Then on new year's day, he made a thread in the college football forum guaranteeing he would go at least 5-1, very arrogant of him as people were incredibly skeptic. At the end of the day, he went 7-0-1. By then i was hooked and a true believer...he has saved me from making bad bets although every time he picks the nets i fade his pick and come out on top. With the exception of betting on the nets, i always take lb's advice, although i wish he didn't tell me to stay away from portland last night...but to be honest, he's saved me from making bad decisions plenty of times.
A couple things i've noticed is that he likes to take teams that are slight underdogs at home who usually end up winning the game outright and when he does bet on the favorite, he hits it hard with multiple units and wins big. For example, a typical lakerboy bet would be the wizards +2.5 at home vs the hornets or philly at home +3 vs dallas...
I remember when he said he was taking 50 units on the saints, and everyone almost shit their pants,and everyone was on the cards, but he was counting his money by halftime...
One very challenging thing about tailing lb is finding his pick and submitting it on time with the same amount of units he has...it's very challenging, you just gotta trust his pick and keep the faith...
