Lakerboy, if you are so good let's have a friendly contest?

[snapstick]

im hitting 67 percent and flying under the radar, just how i like it.. no drama

[AzNDooM]

Well I will be away from the computer until later tonight. Hopefully Mexi or LB responds and we can have a friendly competition...

I dont understand why you come into a forum which apparently you have no time for and instantly want to challenge two of the top proven cappers in NBA.

If your so interested in challenges and want to be reputable why not just start challenging lower guys who dont have a prestige record and go from their. Ive been reading this thread for almost 6 months before I put a post up to ensure I knew wtf I was talking about studying JMorrison chase systems, Beta 1.1 models, trend analysing, line movement, studying current form, variable control factors such as 2days rest, B2B games, referees and im still shit at it but yet you come in with what? your opinion?

Shit... anyone can guess 50/50 and hope to hit on a given day but can you do it consistently over 100 games? 200 games? LB has played over 200 with a 57% hit rate. Im not sure if you understand of anything of finite maths but the less games you have obviously have a higher chance of hitting your 1-2 games you are calling however I would like to see your money management skills then as I think I take the cake in that factor.

Everyone has their speciality and LB is studying line movement and understanding where public bets etc... sure he lost the money on HOU on that call but that was one game. Do I need to pull numbers and stats tos how you games he has hit properly or would you like to not me to REFERENCE facts and keep letting you making assumptions?

[Cornerback]

People keep saying that he's not scared because he upped it to 1500, but how the hell do you expect him to get 1500 points, he has that 600 ready for him and I say get it on i'll put money on JMATHES

He could get a loan from MexicanStalllion and since he's so confident he will win and pay Mex back.

[ROYAJA8]

Who's going to join the tourney?

[AzNDooM]

This is the last rebuttal I will make in this thread:

Do you understand why I am making this challenge? It is a way that you guys can make money by tailing Lakerboy, Mexi, and myself in an organized manner. I am not calling him out but just simply trying to make a contest in which you guys can see our picks. Instead of last minute posting of the picks the contest would require us to post the picks an hour or so before the tip-off. I say this because it will give all the followers a chance to put in their wagers rather than missing plays here and there. Take what you want out of this offer but it looks like my challenge by LB won't be taken...

Why would Mexi/Lakerboy have to post in an organised manner when this has already been done. So you can add credits to your name and say "I am with 2 of the best handicappers in NBA?" and try to make a name for yourself?
LB and MEX already have their own threads, its very well organised if you ask me, they post picks everyday, everyone reads and they get the picks? Wait, or is that too hard to read other peoples forums for you that you need to all have it managed on one page. Either your the most laziest SBR reader ever or you just have no lack of understanding on what a FORUM is. I never get involved with these matters as its none of my business and this is between you and the challengers, but for someone who keeps track of data 24/7 on SBR your ideas make no sense and are impractical.

Sorry, I cant see how this is a positive for LB or MEX but only for yourself. If your going to do something please be constructive and add to the FORUM. Not just your name and trying to prove you can duel w/ the best of them.

[AzNDooM]

Absolutely not! You can't handicap and find an advantage against the spread in every single NBA game. That is the silliest thing I have ever heard. If someone wants to take me up on it will we follow the rules under Mexi's Point Book thread. We will allowed to bet over/unders, ats, games, halfs, etc...

The purpose of this thread was for us to have a friendly competition where we hit 60% or more, and for you guys to follow and make money. Hopefully Mexi or Lakerboy will take the challenge...

LOLZ, wow... disrespect to a very good capper. He cant cap, stats are 26-23-1 0.531 with a +1U overall since 22/01/2010. Care to elaborate he cant cap?

[ShogunRua]

I have to agree with jamthes on this one. A little while ago I met Lebron James and challenged him to 1on1 in basketball. He had no idea who I was but I explained to him how good I was and that I was worthy competition, but he backed down like the scared little baby he is. I didn't do this in a private manner either, I let everyone know about it! Now LB is doing the same thing. I mean, c'mon look how good he says he is! LB is scared of jmathes just like Lebron was scared of me.

[AzNDooM]

BTW, ive read some of your stuff and I agree w/ HoulihanTX, your no square. You do understand alot of principles but why you need to call out the People's Champ. Like Spreadsniper thats just for some hurting to be asked for.

The Legend of Lakerboy...nice book/movie title, huh SS?

I wonder which actor would play him...

Over what sample size?

[Pensinger1]

JM, why do u not accept pm's?

[Durrrr]

I would accept a challenge from ANYONE for every point I have. I seriously believe I am top 3 in this forum. My 09-10 record isn't that big of sample size (because I only play confident picks) but I have been winning at 60%-70% for years.

I'd vouch for this. He used to bet with me daily and very rarely had a losing night.

Let me preface this by saying I really don't know if you're a great/average/awful capper but you have to be really careful when you throw "70%" and "I have been winning" in the same sentence.

No one hits 70%. Let me say that again. No one hits 70%.


The only way someone hits 70% is if one of two things happens:

1) It's a ridiculously small sample size (let's use 100 plays or example) or

2) The majority of their picks are -450+ ML's.

[GroundnPound]

Lakerboy does make good picks, but I am sure he doesn't need everyone and I mean everyone to come in here and be his spokeswoman.

[mlb]

seriously.... what has this forum come to???

[tylerguy02]

Delete this thread or move it to players talk. Let him do his thing and you do yours, then compare stats if you wish.

[Durrrr]

Nope sorry you can't believe me TheLock, but I've had winning seasons picking -110 spreads/overs unders at 70% over about 200 picks. Anyway I don't mind if you think I'm full of shit, cause I make a fair amount of money from my hobby.

[Teaser Sucker]

Matthew McConaughey you guys are hilareous!!

This is all too funny.

[Wrecktangle]

How about 60% Lock, anyone hit that?

[jmathes]

So here is a recap of the day:

Lakerboy 6-2 (75%)

Mexican Stallion 6-2 (75%)

Jmathes 1-0 (100%)

So it is obvious that I won because I had a much higher winning percentage hitting a perfect 100%... Just playing but what I am trying to say that a friendly competition between the 3 of us would be greatly beneficial to everyone. Combined we all three hit 13-4 (76%) for the day which which is nothing but money in the bank. If somehow we could get LB, Mexi, and myself to post our daily plays (atleast an hour before tip-off) in a thread it would be nothing but money for you guys. Instead of posting randomly throughout the night it would give everyone time to follow and place their bets.

[mlb]

Or just start a thread with your picks .. I don't think those guys really are into posting plays on other peoples times ... just a thought

[southpaw74]

EXACTLY!! everyone has their own way of doing things so don't mess with what works. Very simple concept

[lakerboy]

Business must be down these days at some places.

[lyon804]

I would like to add that anybody that is really worth their salt at this game is not trying to go after others with a silly point competetion. I mean come on fellas. Since when is making money not good enough?? Good players are not ever trying to prove any points with others... just trying to take the books money. That's what this game has always been about it. The point competetion is irrelevant for anybody playing any real money here. For instance I know myself and some others here are playing for some real dollars. I couldn't imagine waisting my time to make sure my picks were posted just to win somebody's points. Get real. If any of you proposing that were any good you wouldn't have even brought it up. Stick with the money fellas. It's easier to barter with outside of SBR than points.

[jsmithj88]

make ur own thread

[Glitch]

I have been around here a long time and this is just ridiculous. mods: close thread!!

lakerboy wins by default

how can he win if he wont even accept the challenge. if the points are nothing to him then 1/3 of what lb offered himself should be doable just for fun. i dont hate on lakerboy- he has very good insight.

from a completely neutral perspective- his declining the offer is a cop-out. no matter what any followers want to call it.

i dont know if he just doesnt believe in challenges or what but if he wants to keep it friendly, he can just knock it down to 300 or something. or a no sh*t-talking clause or somethin.

[SpreadSniper]

Over what sample size?

Bite your tongue boy - go to his thread and look for yourself.

[SpreadSniper]

Yes, you are the best.... I would rather go 6 - 2 than 1 - 0 anyday, but thats just me and my money hungy ways I guess.

Maybe you, Mexi and LB could all get together for a picnic and discuss how you will set up this thread?

If you want to be treated with the same respect and admiration that both Mexi and LB are, maybe work towards it, post your own damn plays and build a name for your own damn self instead of trying to leach onto to well established, well respected members in the hope of making a bigger name for yourself.

SS, I couldn't have said it better myself. The whole points competetion is irrelevant. Why would somebody that is worth their salt feel the need to prove to a tout or someone that is rather unknown here to most that they have the goods? As I mentioned in a post above this game is strictly about making money. No advantage player is ever trying to prove any points to anyone else. Strong players are just trying to take the books money. Since when is winning not enough? Anybody that would throw up a baseless challenge such as this calls into question there true ability. Me, personally I feel no need to challenge anybody here in a competetion. My monthly income is satisfaction enough for me that I have no desire to prove any points.
