Curious: Is there a record of past picks posted anywhere ?

I know you mark them as winners or losers, I'm asking if there is a total record with units won/lost ?

Nope.

Most days there are a lot more winners than losers. Some days are break even. We have had very few days with a lot more losers than winners. I know lately the Quarters have been so-so while the games have been stellar. The halftimes are close to 100% (I think).

I keep tally by the size of my bank.

I asked in your other thread yesterday but it was probably too late to expect a response.

Are your quarter bets based on the spread?

Scratch that. Thanks, didn't see the thread from last night until I looked again.

As I post in my thread EVERY DAY at the top of the first post.

Favs are money line, dogs are + points.

Hypothetically speaking if gambling was legal? I might be.

I made a post in the NCAAB forum just now.

If gambling was legal, I would be tailing you....

I started with NCAAB and NBA on November 15th. I have quadrupled the bank.

Understand that I martingalge the quarter bets so their win % the way I do it is >90%. I don't post the martingale in the thread because too many idiots talk too much shit when I do that because they can't find books that allow live quarter betting. I'm still not sure why that is my problem.

I know Quarters were on fire earlier in the year but have slowed down some lately. I would say in the past two weeks quarters are something like 60% without the martingale.

If you can find a book that allows quarter bets while the game is going on and you martingale them they are a license to print money.

The 3rd quarter take the 1st half loser has slowed down considerably. I may stop it altogether. Or, I may start just calling out the 3rd Q play based on the win/loss % for each team for the 3rd Q. I'm not sure why it is not doing well. I think there are a few teams that need to be removed from consideration for the 3Q take the 1st half loser play, like the Clippers.

From Jan 1 through today:
Games 149-74
Halves 24-9
Quarters 312-154

No, I did not add up total units won/lost.

NOTES:
Halves: I just started playing halves two weeks ago.

The Quarters include one week of martingales, I scored those as a 1 for a win in the series and as the sum of the series of losses on the martingaled losers. So, if the series was 3 and all 3 lost that was 7 losses. If the series was 2 and they both lost that was 3 losses. If the series was 3 and the first 2 lost and then the quadrupled 3rd bet won, that was 1 win.

The Quarters at the beginning of January had a lot of days that were 15-0, 20-3, 9-1, 13-4. Lately they haven't been hitting anywhere near that well.

The games include a lot of games where I played the moneyline and the spread in a correlated play. I didn't have time to pull those out separately, I just added up anything that said loss and anything that said win. Probably the total number of games I list exceeds the actual number of NBA games played for the period because I had bets on both the spread and the money line.

Taking Dallas 2H money line -130

I have Dallas 4Q and Dallas 3Q was a play because Dallas lost the 1st Half, may as well take them 2 half. Let's see, if they win both the 3Q and the 4Q then they win the 2nd Half

impressive record
