Other fun stuff - his prediction for the Finals at this point: LA vs Miami with LA winning it all.

This is a great idea for a thread. I have him on my facebook and always keep track of the tidbits he tosses out there. Thanks Shari and good luck

m3xtreme · 10-26-10, 06:03 PM

great info here.. how are you finding the picks from Timmy?

ROFLcopter · 10-26-10, 06:05 PM

Shari if you don't mind can you tell me where you find these picks? Can't seem to find them on his facebook or twitter

This is what I mean by Tim being sneaky. He didn't say anything on his main page so it won't come through our FB feeds. You need to click on "Tim and others" and you'll find his Miami pick in the second most recent post on the page in response to someone's question. Since spread wasn't mentioned, I went with the ML.

i havent look for this pick in particular but sometimes you have to read through all his comments and comments on his comments to find his thoughts or ideas

I like the idea Shari,it was cashing very nicely for you during last years playoffs already.GL girl

PocketChange · 10-26-10, 06:28 PM

Thanks keijo!! That's the main reason I started this thread. I was taking so much crap on here for following his picks but he was cashing all the bloody time so I figured I'd keep track in one thread to see what he can do from the start to the end of the season. The regular season plays of his that I caught were great too but I didn't follow him too closely until close to the end of the year. This time I will!

I agree, probably more so on the Finals prediction. Seems a lot of people on here are on Boston in this one - not sure whether it's a great play on their part, or if it's just LeBron hate or Celtics love. But at the end of the day, I've given up on that so called square and sharp crap. As long as I'm not required to lay heavy chalk, just give me winners when I'm stuck picking them on my own and people can call me a friggin rectangle for all I care!!

and the lakers 3 peating the three years they did and then winning b2b the last two weren't "square" picks?

I'm going to do my own little experiment and track plays based on what Tim picks. He made me some great cash last season so hopefully he can keep it up. He doesn't say something about every game and he often hides his leans so if I miss anything feel free to add it to the thread. Every play is for one unit.

For tonight:

MIAMI ML

Good Luck with your experiment Shari.....

Tommy_de1st · 10-26-10, 07:25 PM

Shari, Bol on your thread

yisman · 10-26-10, 07:30 PM

There should be an over/under for how many threads Brock starts about him this season.

Asking for his picks, claiming he's 30-1 ATS, etc.

Did U ever read his book? I'm not the reader type but that was a good book for people like us

.A lot of inside info,ref-player-coach relations and small details to keep in mind when making nba wagers.The main thing i took from this book - in the playoffs figure out which team winning/losing helps make NBA the most money and you'll be a winner long term no doubt. David Stern will always make sure that happens

shari91 · 10-26-10, 09:30 PM

Pick one: Miami ML -110 LOSS
0-1 -1 unit

fury · 10-26-10, 09:49 PM

Does he post picks all season? I thought he was just doing it during the playoffs last year.

brumbies · 10-27-10, 11:04 PM

No picks for today?

Nothing for today. If I catch him on anything tomorrow I'll be sure to post it in here. If anyone finds it before I do, please feel free to post it in here yourself.

BetterBizness · 10-28-10, 12:20 AM

Another tool in the betting toolshed.. I like it...

southmadejd · 10-28-10, 12:40 PM

Thanks for making this thread Shari and thanks to everybody who contributes to it and posts his picks. If people could let me know where to find them I will help with the research. I know sometimes you have to dig for the picks so just let me know the general area to look.

brumbies · 11-06-10, 02:44 AM

After a week of no picks, I guess it's safe to say that this thread is an epic fail.

Tim has said that the reason he posted picks for the playoffs was to prove a point. Once that was done, he had no intention to continue to do so.

stevex · 11-06-10, 04:32 AM

Not a big deal that there hasen't been any picks. INSTEAD lets keep this thread alive and discuss what exactly the point was that Tim PROVED during last years playoffs so we could use it for this years?

I wasn't really trying to "win" any threads. Not quite my goal in life.

I started this to track his picks. If he makes a ton or makes a few, I could care less. I'm more interested in what he has to say about individual games and to see if he still has a clue as to what is going on now that he's out of the league. Best of luck on your plays.

Here's what he said:

“As a former NBA referee, with a story to tell about the crooked officiating in the venerable world of professional basketball, I have observed this years' Playoff Series with interest, and a little fear. In my book, Personal Foul, I created a 'blueprint' off of which most games, and in particular, many particular match-ups, are decided.”

“This year, to prove my point and with many stern warnings to people who thought they'd use my predictions to place a bet, I used my 'blueprint' to successfully pick the winners in 14 out of 16 games.”

“With 87% accuracy, including having picked the winner of Game 5 of the Boston/Orlando game by 15 points, and having said that after Game 6, Orlando would be dusting off their golf clubs, I believe it's fair to say the 'blueprint' works.”
