It's a long contest, I would be a little closer to you if I wagered on as much chalk as you do. Those chalk plays will come back to earth before this one is over. Until then enjoy your name at the top of the standings. I guess your injury theory occurs mostly on large chalk teams, what a coincedence.

Hey bro, Im pretty sure you win this contest by picking winners. No matter how much value you get on your picks, if they dont win, you get no units credited. I dont care how good you are with money management and finding good overnight lines, you obviously arent good at picking winners. Its obvious you cant distinguish between picking winners for this contest and betting the chalk with your own money. If you could, you wouldnt be at the bottom of the standings and you sure wouldnt be questioning my tactics. Let me go over the rules for you again. 1. Pick a winner and you get 1 unit. 2. Unfortunately, even if you find great value on an overnight line, if that team loses, you get no unit credited.

This guy signed up only to play in the contest. Might as well take a free shot at SBR and not contribute to the forum.

He's given 24 winners in 26 plays. Thats already more of a contribution than most will make.

awatkins,

That's because I don't like you.

Na, I accidentally punched "-" instead of "+". Fixed now.

Sorry Buddy

back to back chicken shack! First ever 0-3 day at SBR followed up by another 0-3 day. Explain to me how a guy who knows so much about lines, value, movement, chalk, squares, wiseguys, etc.... can be so bad? Enough already! I hope you learned a lesson here guy. Dont ever try telling another how to bet and certainly dont insult another bettors habits.

[Steeltown]

My first 0-3 ever on SBR yesterday. You can skip yesterday if you would like.

Ok then!

Go back and read all my posts. I never insulted you or anyone in this Forum. I know you are a newcomer here so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But you don't see anyone else here posting the bad results that people have in a contest here. There are plenty of people in this contest below me and you don't see anyone poking fun at them. Everyone has a bad streak at picking. If you have been around this game long enough everyone experiences them. A test case of less than 30 wagers is a very small sample of success or failure. But based on a few of your other recent posts I can see that you have a limited knowledge of this business. This is not an insult. I would hope that you will learn from others mistakes in here and take some others advice. Read more and post less. You might learn something in here. Enjoy your current success while it lasts. If this game was as easy as betting the biggest chalk on the board everyday, then everyone would be rich. My last post to you Steel. GL

FreeFall,

Sorry, like it says in the rules, once a play is posted it cannot be changed.
