hello gents,

okay, so i have completed five trial runs of a larger scale experiment involving several different methods of handicapping.

i did okay with some earlier projects, and then poorly with later ones (pretty obvious which ones) but am exhibiting improved success with my last generation combining serious old school and some new school strats that i developed myself.

i was doing very well with 3Q's wagers, but over time found them to be a little short on time, borderline unpleasant.*

I decided to focus more on 1Q's and Full Games (won't release picks until i know what i am doing) but i feel good about 1Q's and went 5-0 in my last five attempts. Winning each by more than a bucket (important). If you win by less than a bucket, it is money in your bank, but it was not really a good pick.

*let's see if we can improve on the last installment, which went 15-5-1, with a (.750) Win/Loss percentage.

If it works out, maybe we can all safely generate a little more income in this difficult world.

i wish all you guys luck, cheers, ®

Precision 1.0 (8-5)

Precision 2.0 (6-3)

Precision 3.0 (0-3) a dismal failure.*i aborted that quickly.

Precision 4.0 (3-6) adjustments clearly did not work,

Precision 5.0 (15-5-1)*will stick with this, and explore this more

thank you, Tony


to answer your question, i guess buy my book,*


best way to learn how i trained my mind to look at what created losing picks..
not to repeat mistakes.. to train the mind to observe itself. To look in, and not just out.
and what it does.. and asks you to do.. (especially that)
gamblers need to seriously be aware of all that stuff..


there is a great deal of processes involved in our decision-making
(most of which are unaware of entirely)


i have spent the last few years studying Psychology, Behaviorism, and Neurobiology.
it helps so much in careful decision-making, and eliminating bad impulse bets.
and other bad decisions in life.


i am creating a site, will have it up real soon, the book costs $20


years of research, but creates a winning mind.. it did for me at least

cheers, ®

capping the late games... Den/GSW and Dal/LAC

let's see if anything good

Jan 15th



1) CHI/ORL__OVER 45.5__1ST QTR (W)


2) CHA/PHI__UNDER 53__1ST QTR (W)


3) HOU/NOH__OVER 51.5__1ST QTR (L)


4) MEM/MIL__UNDER 47.5__1ST QTR (W)

LATE GAMES: nope. i see a couple of leans in the late games..
but also, one factor in each game that i don't like.. so i will sit down.

okay, i went back, i think i found the error in the loss, eliminate that for the future.
let's see if we can maintain.. or climb over the .750 threshold.



NBA Payday is 3-1 (.750)


cheers folks

[tonywayne]

3-1 is a good day. Thanks for these. Will be watching your picks in the future.

Thanks again brotha! Your post about betting advice was spot on and appreciated. I'll def look into the book.

One question is do you ever wager different units or your wagering on everything uniform?

Thanks again brotha! Your post about betting advice was spot on and appreciated. I'll def look into the book.

One question is do you ever wager different units or your wagering on everything uniform?

i really feel it is better for gamblers to stay with fixed unit wagers until they are well over .660%
(win percentage)

placing one's focus on units will almost invariably lead to gambling problems, because the mind then becomes occupied with "when to go large?" rather than "what is the best wager available?"

so, a person, then goes large at the wrong time... (normal)*
and tries to win it all back by going larger next time..*

the odds of losing a second bet, when the motive is to recoup the first is extraordinarily high.

i say a gambler should get his game together first... always. Learn one's trade.

just as a driver should be an expert driver, before they engage in speeding.
Speeding will get anyone to their destination quicker, but tends to create many more accidents,
especially in novice drivers.

I like single units bets.. keeps my mind sharp and focused on the right outcome,
rather than what i am going to get back *

[Allsportscapper]

Well said ....Do you have any leans for tonite

You got a horrible #, Jed. Hope it doesn't matter. There are +3.5's out there.

[tonywayne]

Dang, I missed the picks today. Argh. I just looked at NYK and you got that one (after getting BRK earlier). 2-0 today so far. Nice work.

okay.. Knicks came in, they scored well..
and Pacers started real slow.. but they sure sped up at the end of the 1Q (mini-yikes)


I am glad the clock ran out to kill the comeback


looking at OKC/Houston.. trying to figure out how it will start


NBA Payday is 5-1 (.833)

cheers, ®

hi Tony,

i am designing the website now... will be up shortly.. i will post it when it's up.
Great info about the human brain, gambling and how it impacts (sometimes very dangerously)
our decision-making

i learned a ton, researching it, and even more writing it.
Turned my 'capping around

good read. Will post it soon.

cheers, r*

[Allsportscapper]

Thanks bro looking forward to the okc game

[Ratzz]

Nice hit.

thank you, always like that extra point of bullet-proof vest.
(especially in 1Q's) time so short

[Allsportscapper]

Any play on okc

[Allsportscapper]

Look forward to reading your website your insight is very interesting

Look forward to reading your website your insight is very interesting

it's good stuff... my best work so far.. dropping it soon

it's tough dividing my time, between designing that.. my book editor..
and 'capping all these games..

i do feel like i know what i am doing (finally), but it's still not quick work... a great deal of data-crunching–

so many games tonite.. i guess brew another pot of coffee and get started*

[Allsportscapper]

Well lets $$$$ again
