2012 MLB Season with John Ryan

[JJJ]

Can we get a record update I know you lost 28 units yesterday 3 units day before and 20 units day before that

Can we get a record update I know you lost 28 units yesterday 3 units day before and 20 units day before that

He lost over 30 units yesterday. Also, John has a nasty habit of listing odds that are a nickel to dime better than what you can actually play. That adds up. He's down about 31K according to his line. But in the real world, he's down closer to 33K if actual, playable odds are used.

I can only imagine the people that have blown through a small fortune tagging this guy. Yet, he comes back for more...each and every day.

It's not easy blowing 33 grand betting nickels and dimes...at only 3 games a day.

I've seen this shit with people like Phil Steele at Northcoast...always justifying a "cold streak" by spewing the horsecrap that he "always wins over the long haul" with his professional analysis and "hard work".

SBR Forum is doing their customers a disservice in allowing this fraud to keep a "sticky" at the top. The flimflam has cost me not one thin dime..because I know better. Baseball is all luck and cannot be beaten. Period. For this guy to harp previous year's successes should be a lesson to the newbies. Don't ever buy the tout crap...because their guesses are no better than their own.

I'm sure the guy is really nice in real life...and apparently can drop 33K like it's a pail of water. Most people that frequent this site are effin degens...and are close to maxing out their ************....looking for help.

My guess is that there a few dozen on here that are riding the "he's due" card forever and a day. All I gotta say is that Pete Rose and Art Schlichter were certainly "due" at one point. How did that work out?

So called "touts" like John Ryan have caused more bankrupties, broken marriages and some suicides along the way. Maybe he should take inventory of his own life and voice a complete and total apology for screwing up so many peoples' lives. It's long overdue.

[JJJ]

I agree if this guy gets paid by sbr to write his useless articles they should fire this guy...his baseball thread is down 300 units...his NBA thread was a loser and NCAA basketball was a loser...Get rid of this guy he sucks....he said that baseball is his best sport (down 300 units)...he said he never had a losing season in any sport yet clarified and said maybe he has....this guy is a fraud

[shadymcgrady]

His thread was removed from the NBA forum earlier this year. As far as all the hate for others losing, its absurd to blame a free pick analyst for losses by others. He didn't hold a gun to heads and force them to bet, its his opinion and u can take it or not. If he's so horrendous then just fade him, I'm sure others have been

[Dexter]

Baseball is all luck and cannot be beaten. Period.

have you ever tried really hard to beat baseball and just could never do so over the course of a season?

are there other sports which aren't luck that you do beat consistently - if yes, why?

i dont get why baseball is luck vs other sports...

There is luck in all sports. But in baseball, it is all luck. I have won betting football 8 out of 9 seasons. I have taken my lumps in both hoops and baseball.....never, ever having a winning season. You can win at hoops, but not baseball....never happen.

Football to me is easy

The lesson here....from this train wreck of a tread....never

bet baseball....unless you enjoy losing...and there are plenty of people that enjoy losing

[John Ryan]

Interesting comments to say the least.

This has ben a horrid baseball season for myself. It happens to the best and believe me many of my colleagues are suffering just as bad and in many cases even worse. I have been doing this a very long time and I stand by my ability to handicap sports.

It is interesting to me as well, that when I offered a head-to-head challenge only one poster accepted that challenge. hmmmmmm.

18 years of experience is what I base by credibility on period. This is one bad season that is only half over. I assure you that one of the biggest days will be when I nail the three team round robin plays where each dog is greater than +140. I have never had a season where I did not have a MINIMUM of three of those cards hit the perfecto. The losses are real, but you cannot allow that to affect your decision making moving forward when handicapping your own plays. It is equally important, not to get 'full of yourself' and cocky after a big winning day or week and think for one second that you have this handicapping thing mastered. The financial markets and sports betting will HUMBLE you BIG TIME when ever you start thinking you are better than engine that runs them.

[John Ryan]

5* Dodgers +108

20* Boston Red Sox -118

[John Ryan]

Also, I use lines that are in the middle of the pack. I do not use the best available and I don't use the opening line unless I have posted the play then. The line I see at the time of these posting is what I put down. The lines will change, period. The only other solution I have is to use the closing line for evaluating the plays.

[John Ryan]

Traveling

I am on holiday, by the way, returning from a long trip today. I will get the record updated upon my return. The all star break is here.

Also, my MLB plays were VERY strong last year here at SBR. Just one of those years. I think some of you have just found my work and threads recently and are passing judgement on the recent four months. So, I encourage you to stick around and follow.. No one is forcing you to tail me..

And I will state this: I have never promised winnings/earnings or anything of the such. I have written countless articles over the years WARNING of the dangers of gambling and the addictive nature of it that can cause life disasters and that it has to be for recreation first and foremost. To consider making it a professional job is not very realistic, but it can be done. Yes, i have been blessed throughout my life financially, but I would NEVER risk so much capital, equity on my home, cars, jewelry, that would jeopardize my families well being.

Honestly, anyone, who would risk their own personal well-being, or put their family at risk of financial ruin is a desperate soul that needs professional help. What is even worse, is to blame someone, who has always warned of the dangers and always has advised to bet cautiously and within means that will not jeopardize the lifestyle that someone enjoys, in need to psychiatric addiction and behavioral disorder help.

This is not meant to start some debate. So, if you have something constructive to state, that is all well and good. It is providing the facts and I will not respond to anything degrading or negative like some of the comments made above moving forward.

Thank you for reading this and BOL to all.

that's a very sweet story and everyone is thankful you reminded us of your 2011 results.

just produce winners if you want people to give you money....a therapeutic post doesn't cut it sweetheart.

[TidesRoln]

Yes. Just put me down for the opposite of what your picks are.

"It is interesting to me as well, that when I offered a head-to-head challenge only one poster accepted that challenge. hmmmmmm."

I also accepted your challenge on the 30th of June; I only have 342 SBR points so I am all in and you do not have to put up any SBR points (if that's ok). So how am I doing................?

[JJJ]

5 star Dodgers - Loss

I'll take you up on your challenge. It will be fun. how about 300 SBR points. How about 50 plays minimum and 100 maximum over a 30-day period? We can start when the season resumes after the all star break.

[tonyp0387]

Wish i saw this sooner . Just took Boston crap

[dilaudid8]

the fiddler you are 100 percent right this sport is all luck it can't be beat there is only 1 game that someone can win on and that's the money game football and 99,9 percent lose on that sport to so to all the gambler's listen to the fiddler and stop right now gl and save your money goodnight

[dilaudid8]

dexter the reason that baseball is luck because you can bet everyday remember the more game's there are and in baseball you can bet everyday you will lose, in football every game is a must in baseball you can lose 10 game's in a row and it mean's nothing football is a monster it's a DIFF game where you can win but still 99,9 still lose gl

[JJJ]

Another 2 plays for yesterday another 2 losses also another 20 star loss this thread is funny

[EASY_MONEY72]

Second that. Baseball, more then any other major sport has variables involved that we might as well call luck.Besides the game,and the headcase players,we have to cap the umpires,their zones and their game day temperament. Instant replay might help here! Then their are the weirdo managers whose inexplicable decisions can change the course of the game in any inning. I think a knowledge of psychology might be indispensable for serious capping. On the the other hand it's may be easier to just flip a coin and hope you get lucky and prosper. The odds of winning are about the same.

[John Ryan]

Ok, here we go with the start of the second half and some recovery of the horrendous first half. One of many lessons to be learned is that you MUST not fall into the temptation of trying to recover losses all in a few huge plays. We all know people, unfortunately, that have had bad Saturdays in CFB, then stepped up the NFL best, which then made the losses stress riddled, then see them dump a whole pile of dough on the Sunday night game and lose again.

You will not find that style of play with any of my threads period. I will continue to grind it out always looking forward. Even when the football threads were HOT, I always kept reminding everyone to focus on the week ahead and not allow a big losing or a big winning week to affect your decision making. More on this later..

5* Philadelphia with Cliff Lee -148

5* Detroit Tigers RUN LINE - 1 1/2 + 150

5* Angels +120

5* Houston + 195

5* Kansas City +110

[John Ryan]

5* Los Angeles Angels +118 against the Yankees

10* Atlanta Braves -120

5* Atlanta Braves Run Line -1 1/2 +185

10* Kansas City Royals +120

[epr038]

On pace to end the season down 700 units. Re-write/Tweak or Ditch the sim... It isn't working.. When your ships heading in the wrong direction, you need to turn the ship. Mix in more totals.. you've barely touched them this year. BOL in the 2nd half

[Inkwell77]

John, how many times do I have to tell you:

Do not bet on Philly!

You are probably down 50 units just betting on that team

I'm confused and am not sure if I'm looking at the right score results, but is the Detroit Run Line the only winner here? Baseball is a tough game to cap! GL the rest of the season John!

[1GearGo]

I think John is AWESOME with ALL CAPS! He's like calling a service... but different. Fade whatever he picks and it's like you paid the sharpest sharp in Vegas for their lock of the year!
Thanks for doing you John! Don't let these HATERS bring you down. Just keep them picks rolling, and definitely keep using those systems you always site. YOU THE MAN JR!

[JJJ]
