    Certain well known sharp bettors and syndicates wouldn't be posting on a public forum the plays they were on.

    When I met justin7 at Vegas, very very nice guy but guy wouldn't even let me take a peak at his sheet while we were waiting in line to put our bets in.

    I'll tell you the same thing I told paco: just because we are the public, which we are, doesn't mean you have to bet with/like the public.

    This!!! My God, how can people be so stupid lol. Just because someone says "the public", doesnt mean they are excluding themselves, they are just refering to where the majority of the money is. They dont mean it as if there is some "private group" that is excluded. Public doesnt mean square.

    Not true. I consider myself public. I have had 6 of 7 winning seasons and 4 of those were monster seasons

    If you manage to win 6 of 7 seasons you're sharp, not public. Unless the winnings come from some huge odds once-in-a-year parlay.

    Nah, percentage even with dogs and chalk. My volume is not enough to take me out of public category and I'm ok with that. Another big false flag I hear is winning gamblers don't play parlays, which I disagree. I hit 3 4tm parlays today including playing straight��

    Out of interest I just calculated that if you're a losing player (meaning you hit 50% on the long run), the probability that you win at least 6 out of 7 seasons (200 picks each), assuming flat stakes and dime lines, is about 0.25%. So there's a 99.75% chance of you being sharp.

    i play round robins on my plays anytime i like the card, why wouldnt you get paid on days you sweep the board? not costing much on days ya only hit 3 of 5..not to mention it leaves plenty of chances to live bet the late gms and win no matter what.. makes a good spot to put the juiced up plays likely to win..
