Does anyone track the record of SBRs free picks?
I'm always upset when I place a bet and then see I'm on the same side as one of the free picks. I feel like they lose well over 50% and are always the squarest of square sides. I guess it's easier to write arguments for the square side, because only squares would place a bet because of a free SBR picks and the logic would hit home with them. You'll notice they'll mention a handicappers record only if it's good and that's rare. Are they just trying to increase action? Jordan sharp recommending a 5pt teaser that included a total yesterday? Bull sh1t he actually believes that was a winning play

lol, they put a warning on their first pick of the day "We're definitely in a cold streak at the moment, so beware! Use this pick at your own discretion and make sure you're doing your own research before placing your NBA picks. Best of luck!"Comment -
Before you go calling people squares, I invite you to A. make public all your NBA picks, so we too may scrutinize you if warranted, and B. visit my SBR page and you too may audit my picks record. I won that teaser you spoke of, and below you may view the link to my picks, as well as my records as of this morning.
NBA Straight picks 25-19-3 (3 pending tonight)
NBA Thursday Parlays 0-4 (-4.5 units)
NBA Teaser Picks 1-2-1

Jordan,
The reason I mentioned your teaser is because I have watched a few of your videos and I believe you are smart, very knowledgeable about the NBA, and probably a long-term winner. That is why I said I didn't think you actually believed it was a winning play. I could care less if it won, that doesn't really matter to me. I think you are a lot sharper than most of the people that do write-ups. I was mostly referring to the other guys who's logic to take a big public darling is nothing more than, "Lay the chalk". Maybe you do believe it was a winning play and maybe it is and I'm wrong. I apologize that you took my post as being directed at you, it was not.

Aside from being offended at the mention of your name, I have a hard time believing that you disagree much with the rest of what I said, although I know you can't admit it publicly. We all make mistakes and go through bad runs, but day in and day out the majority of the free picks are pretty damn awful.Comment -
All of the picks from SBR handicappers are their own picks. SBR has no say in what sides we chose to recommend. Yes, we all go through cold streaks, and I've had public bad runs on this site like everyone else. See my lockout season and my parlays this season. However, we have some pretty good handicappers on here, and probably the best giving out free picks. I myself am having a pretty solid start to the NBA, and I don't need this bad karma coming from the forum to screw it up! COME ON! I would hope a man with the Great White Mamba as his avatar would be more understanding!Comment -
Again, IT WASN'T DIRECTED AT YOU! I typically agree with your picks and logic.
That being said, you'd probably have a hard time convincing me that teaser hits enough to be profitable. Just sayinComment
