cant wait til ufc 140- have solid locks

Sorry, couldn't resist!

[Kaladarus]

I've been getting kind of lucky on some of these fights. Have been making some decent money these last few events. Hopefully my luck will continue.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

kaladarus leapfrogs me with a 3-0 night with 2 dogs..nicely done

[gabe]

Ouch. </3 @ Yabouin getting the home-town decision

[bogbat]

Ouch. </3 @ Yabouin getting the home-town decision

lol that was a close fight man. The stand up was very competitive but I think Yabouin landed more significant damaging strikes. The biggest divider was that Yabouin took Watson down in attempt to secure rounds but it backfired with Watson's submission attempts.
Damn Gabe 1-6. Too bad you can't tweak those numbers like you do with the rest of your record keeping.

There's a huge gap now between the top two and the rest of the pack in the contest. We may have to start some risky dog plays to have any chance of winning if those two do well next event.

Yup -- DOG TIME!

[Vaughany]

I still think Gabe is gonna pull off the biggest comeback ever and take the gold

[snake11eyes]

I love how this guy goes 0-3 and loses $1000 play money, but somehow in real life he turns a profit for the event. Not only that, but covers his losses on ncaa for the week as well. Simply amazing. Wish I knew that secret.

My big plays Jon Jones and Frank Mir won, a shot in the dark I took with The Korean Zombie won, an average bet on Brian Ebersole won, a big play I made on Lil' Nog because i trusted The Calculator won. By the end of the night, I was down only $55. On my way to the bar before the main card started, I was down BIG.

Hope that gives you an insight to figuring out my secret. If either Mir, Lil' Nog, or Jones had lost, I would have been SCREWED.

I went 0-3 here, but I also lost all 3 of those bets in real life.

What did I tweak? I didn't have a good week with my record, I had more losses than wins. But I did better with betting, 'cos I followed a pick I trusted and took a shot with KZ.

Regarding Watson, I was confident he did enough to win. Usually when I have money on a guy and it goes to a decision, I'm afraid they're not gonna get the decision, but this time I felt he really did enough to get it. He almost finished the fight a couple times. Yves never came close.

I honestly thought I would go 3-0. I probably did in Bizzarro world. (seinfeld reference)

[gabe]

snakeyes--- so i was down huuuge before the main card, went 5 for 5 during the main card, and was down only $55 by the end of the night. then i went 5-2 with NFL (6-2 including thursdays game,) so now I'm up $800 for the week. went 8-3 the week before, 11-2 the week before that. 121-31 for the season. just been killin' it!!!!!!!!!!!!!


and yes, i recognize how ridiculous it is to be 121-31

i did great the past two seasons, but i never reached hitting 80% of my picks. i'm not great at math, but 121-31 is above 80%, right?

also ended the MLB season with 279-105

UFC, NFL, MLB, NBA = I've done exceptionally well.

NCAA Basketball, NCAA Football, NHL, Soccer, Tennis = I am a big loser.

I know I do far better than cappers who make a lot of money selling their picks. I don't know how to go about doing this for a business. I used to give out free picks and people would send paypal donations of their winnings, but after a while, the picks remained solid, but the donations really slowed down, so that didn't work out too well. If any one of you wants to work with me to set something up where I could sell picks, I'd cut you in. I'm just too technology retarded to handle all that myself.

I'll say it again, no one is picking greater than 60%. Not a single person on earth, not the best cappers in the world. However, if YOU WERE, and you aren't a multi-millionaire you're making huge bankroll mistakes.

If you could pick 79%, you could start with $1000 and wipe out every live and online book within 2 years.

I'm not betting 50 grand a game to be making millions. What I've made off NFL this season is in the 5 figures. I've hit many big parlays and teasers. I've been hitting 6 and 7 team parlays regularly this season. I've had one bad week, a few ok weeks, and the rest have been incredibly great.

Last night I had the Giants +4.5 to win $250 and Giants +190 $110 to win $209. Winning money like that isn't going to make me a millionaire, but it has certainly put A LOT in my pocket over the course of the season.

Sure, if I started off with $1,000 and let the money grow, I would have risked more and won more, but I don't save the money I win. I'm not rich, I have a lot of expenses. My winnings go to pay for my expenses. I've helped my family out with bills a lot over the past couple months. If I had started with a grand and let it grow, yes, I would have hundreds of thousands of dollars now. I would have enough money where I would have risked 25 grand on the Giants +4.5 last night, rather than a measly $250. But I can't afford to put betting money aside and let it grow. I have to use that money to live.

Life advice.

If you're picking 79%, and your problems with bankroll growth is due to your expenses, drop your expenses for 3 months, take the 10 million dollars and retire.

Picking 79% is like annual interest of 15,000,000,000,000.00% (assuming 200 picks per year at full kelly). If it were possible, there would be no stock brokers, no hedge fund managers, they would all divert their attention to sports betting.

I'm starting to think you actually BELIEVE your own lies.

What lies, man? How many times have I had great weeks with NFL and mentioned it here? I've even mentioned a play or two before the game even started. I gave you guys the Bears +300 against the Eagles a few weeks ago.

I can't drop my expenses, asshole. My expenses are mostly for food and bills. Like I said in my previous post, I can't just stop living.

3 million dollars in 3 months... if you're trying to make a point, do yourself a favor and don't over-exaggerate.

I'm perfectly fine with how much I've won. I don't need it to be a million dollars. I don't need your advice. I don't get what you're saying. You're upset because I haven't made as much money as I could have?

Yeah, I am starting to believe my own lies. I can't believe I lied to myself into thinking I won $800 this week. When my bookie shows up with the money, I should tell him it never happened.

P.S. -

Start playing my picks and become a millionaire, then. I've made money in the 5 figures, but since you're a big shot and can risk more than I do, buy my picks and make millions.

My brother-in-laws friend has made over 400k off my NFL picks this season. He bets much larger than I do. I help friends make money, too, but none of them bet that big, either.
