Thanks PG...

**thedirk** · 03-02-16, 09:09 PM

Paul George with the missed FT to make this a loss. To be fair, he made a 3 just before. Really bad first quarter by these teams is what made this one hard toget. Keep up the good work BTS.

I really have to wonder if some of these games are fixed

I put that out there for the attention of the "one-day" bettors here - those who come here to double their bankroll in one day with a BTS pick. I want them to know that a 61% win rate is an extraordinary feat! Professionals don't even win that much in the long run. It's not what one wins in day that matters. It's what you win in the long run.
I tail you daily and will tail continually irrespective of day-to-day outcomes. I hope folks realize how hard it is to sustain a winning record in this thing.

**TTA_President** · 03-03-16, 02:37 AM

It's a great run, BTS is the steph Curry of sbr right now. It gets quiet after a loss. But if you can't manage your bankroll. BTS can go 86% percent and some degenerate would complain. I'm tailing as well for Bounce back Thursday. If there's even a play.

**Killer2121** · 03-03-16, 02:57 AM

Keep in mind that not all of us complain about BTS' picks. Some of us voice our frustration against the team. Tonight is a great example. Losing by half a point really messes with you mentally. Lol. I have never blamed anybody for a losing play. I just rant when teams play like sh*t.

Hey!
I always read your posts here and in other threads. Of course, you and majority of folks here aren't the target of much of my rant. The point I was making is that this thing is a tough grind and we need to appreciate those who put in what it takes to sustain a buoyant winning record.
Of course it's normal to voice one's frustration against a team that denies one a win but none of that can alter the reality of a loss. So one just has to be willing to accept whichever outcome and move on.

**mohye1980** · 03-03-16, 03:44 AM

I never blame bts for any loss. I put the bet in myself because I liked the play. I might come on here and talk about how shitty a play is doing but in no way am I saying its a bad play. We had a solid play today and we will bounce back and get em tomorrow or on the next play. In bts I trust.

**tlafer** · 03-03-16, 03:44 AM

Very first sentence from that website is absolute rubbish. It says that most professional bettors make between 100% to 300% ROI. HAH! Let's take BTS as an example. He is 76 and 48. Assuming an average line of -1.10, that would be plus 76 units and minus 52.8 units, for a net of plus 23.2 units. Divided by total units bet of 136.4 (124 bets times 1.1) gives him an ROI of 17%. Very good, but nowhere close to 100% to 300%. Most likely they meant to say 10% to 30%, not 100% to 300%. To have that high of an ROI you'd have to hit around 100% of your bets, and play a lot of big dogs to boot, to get anywhere near 300%!

**tlafer** · 03-03-16, 03:59 AM

They probably mean 100% to 300% per year, of their starting bankroll.

**MvA** · 03-03-16, 05:42 AM

I got the line at 49 so nothing lost. Anyway as of BTS winning percentage this is very very good. I am following him this season and made money with hi picks. I use a chase system on his bets and this works quite good. I just follow some system and my goals are to win 50% on my starting bankroll on NBA ( I am about 35% at the moment and I am quite confident to reach this goal this season) and about 80 to 100% on MLB. I just started last year and NBA worked out great but only made 20% on MLB because the system had a bad year.

It is like a roller coaster this NBA season for me was already up to 60% and then back to 10% but in the long run I am sure to make some money. But I have to be careful because gambling is a lot of fun

but if you want to make money you have to follow a system and money management. These are just my 2 cents from a gambling newbie here

And lets make this last month of a season a profitable one...

**MikeyD323** · 03-03-16, 06:52 AM

BTS slump dog millionaire at the moment. Books are tightening up spread numbers closer to playoffs. Try to stay more focused and find those winners like you used to so effortlessly. Good luck brotha. Lets get back to winning.

You jest I hope. Basketball is the most easily fixable, corrupt sport there is.

I can both appreciate and respect your point of view but there is some truth to that website. I guess the formula you used on me had me betting one unit per game, well when I first started this thread I was so hot I was wagering around 5, 10 or sometimes 15 units on games (not 15 too often) but I just want you to know my net profit is WAAAYYY above 23.2 units. As the season went forward I knew I could not stay on fire so I started easing back my units per wager. I knew I would cool off some, I did not want to lose the unbelievable profit that I had earned. I never thought gambling would be so good to me in any particular season but it was and I was not about to lose it. This is why throughout this thread I have told people to use bankroll management. It does not make sense to win so much money then risk giving it all back. I could stop wagering NBA right now and it cannot affect me because I am way ahead of the game. I keep doing it this season only to help others and because I am curious to see my record at the end of the season. Also, I had an amazing season live betting, I feel my live betting was more successful than my regular game handicapping season. Thank you for your input, I just wanted to give a more accurate description of my season.

**loveofsports** · 03-03-16, 12:58 PM

BTS, just out of curiosity, you are so good how do you not get limited at books? It's none of my business and I'm sorry if you find it intrusive but a ball park figure of what 1 unit is to you?

All of my wagers are not done at online books. I also have a local guy who I do a lot of wagering with. I was not trying to say that I have gotten rich through gambling. My point was I have had a very successful NBA season and the article that was posted for me had truth to it.
I also wanted tlafer to know that he must have based my profit of 23.2 on 1 unit wagers. My point is his numbers are not correct even though I can appreciate and respect his point of view. The statement I made was just to let him know I have had more success than what he put out there. I have said many times I use 5Dimes and I have local access to bookies. I don't want you to think all of this money came from online only.

**BetThenSweat** · 03-03-16, 04:26 PM

Today I take a knee

I do not see much value in today's games so I will not wager. Good luck to those that will gamble.

**loveofsports** · 03-03-16, 04:31 PM

Thank you bts

**hopper** · 03-03-16, 05:19 PM

Well, u did good job earning a lot of money, congrats BTS. I wish I would have + on my winnings. Unfortunately, when I tail someone I lose and when I don't tail, when I'm busy or smthing, I miss the won bet.
