architect, go and check LBs posts from couple weeks back. He explains why he makes so many plays per day.

Finding it in this thread would be difficult... Needle in a haystack.

Lakers - points... is that the play?

Couldn't disagree with you more. If you don't like any of his plays then don't play them or fade him. Some appreciate his insight on all the action that he gives. He is not your funds manager or stock broker where he's making decisions with YOUR money.

well said bro...i totally agree with u...people forget it is their choice on what to do with the picks..

When did I blame anybody for my profits/losses? Never. I only wanted to say that playing fewer games would be more profitable. All of his picks tonight do not add up to a profitable night so far. That was my only point. I'm not upset on any level or trying to call LB out for "losing my money." Take it as criticism, not cynicism.

+130 units isnt profitable..

where do those fool come from?
seem like there are abundance of them and changing users not hard.

SimonSayz · 03-09-10, 09:52 PM

I can't see LB betting the blazers and him describing the craptors as 'soft' makes me like his upcoming play. I am on the Lakers too. Let's cash it!

I usually have my own cappin and own strategy , difference is when LB agrees and is on the sam thing, I usually up the units on that particular game. If we disagree, we wish each other luck and play our seperate sides. Lb himself will tell u, "at the end of the week , it's just u and ur bookie, nobody else". Hope that helps with certain people who bashes if they tail and lose. No one is forcing ur fvcken hand to press submit button.

It was a comment about tonight. Not the whole season.

I can see both sides of the discussion here, but for all the guys jumping on the Architect... All he did was state his opinion. LB can respond for himself. Let's keep the conversation on winning plays.

On the late games, I went for

SAC/POR U198 x5
TOR/LAL O209 x5

I don't tail anyone. I look in on what a lot of people are doing, but mostly out of curiosity. In my opinion, if you can't make your own picks you shouldn't be playing. My philosophy is, "if you tail-you fail."

But a lot of people do tail, and that's their business. You have to accept the good with the bad. But the answer to your dilemma is in your statement. Just because LB picks a lot of games doesn't mean you have to play them all. Cherry pick the ones you like the best. You can also use a smaller betting range. Instead of 1X to 10X, use 1X to 3X.

Think about what you're saying. You're asking the guy who you're obviously tailing to make fewer selections so that you won't lose as much when you lose. This makes absolutely no sense.

The best solution is to learn how to handicap and make your own selections. Then you have no one to blame but yourself. I blame myself a lot.

If you don't tail, you won't fail. You won't succeed either.

Paco, Spoken like a true MAN!!!!

I gave you all the points I had.

Thanks Brotha!!!!

I mean that.

The Architect · 03-09-10, 09:58 PM

Alright, lets just get something straight now. I am NOT bashing LB. All i was trying to say was that betting fewer games would be profitable FOR HIM..i was not referring to myself or any bets that i placed tonight. I am forever indebted to LB for the picks he has posted in the past, and have showed my gratitude many times before. You guys just look for reasons to start fights and pick sides with people, its ridiculous. Now, lets have a positive rest of the night.

No kidding ... I don't see how it would be guaranteed that he is more profittable by playing fewer plays either ... Let the guy pick the plays be wants to play ..

paco · 03-09-10, 10:02 PM

Port under 199 (1x)
Lakers over 209.5 (4x)

fly fisher · 03-09-10, 10:02 PM

LB and others give out picks, we can take them leave them make our own choices but no one on this thread makes us pull the trigger but ourselves. There may be frustration when loosing but keep that in check and take responsiblility for executing the bet. I have been on this thread and others for the past 3 months, because of my own fault I have never been paid, fortunately with the help of many of you, I make back enough that I have lost to not have to pay but for a couple of times. But when all is said and done, I push the bottom so it is my fault if I didn't do enough homework to make my own pick.

Please don't blame others, ride the waves good and bad, if you can't then you might look for something else to do.

Peace to all and good luck to all. And for those with the guts to give your picks and create a following well my hat is off to you.

I'm with you on both, but did you see that last call? That was NOT a charge on Rondo right there. 6 point swing.

Wow, Boston really blew it down the stretch just now. Ray Allen needed to nail that 3 pointer when they were down 2 damnit!
