    Not sure why that first post came out the way it did. I'm more of a 1-2 play a day kinda guy but I'm doing some work in the beginning of this. GL to whoever follows and GL on your own plays!
    Points Awarded:

    Fresno gave Spartan14745 8 SBR Point(s) for this post.

    I think it's very possible. GL. It will be an absolute grind at this pace. You might want to try the contests and see if you can get a decent hit from there.

    Sounds like a pretty cool way to add some fun to an already exciting Hobby. Seems attainable if you stay disciplined... GL

    Thanks for the contribution Fresno! Staying disciplined is really the point in all of this. It's not something that can be done overnight, gonna take some time and I in it for the long haul. In the end, picking winners will determine how long I last. Thanks again!

    GL with this mate - I'll be following with interest.
    Hopefully you'll be able to keep you discipline, which is where most gamblers find their downfall (well, that and bad picks!).

    Glad to have you as a follower delpiero! By the way, are you a Juve fan? I myself am I a Juve fan and was wondering if you're referencing il capitano in your name.

    Right now my points balance is 49.90, it may not seem like much but beleive it or not I projected to have this much by Feb. 3rd so I'm already almost a full month ahead of schedule. Not going to look too much into this, just gonna try to establish a good winning record. I'll be posting my plays later this afternoon and will have them in before 5pm EST. I'll be at the Under Armour High-School All American Game tonight so won't be providing any posts after I throw out my pick(s). GL to everyone today!

    Went 2-2 last night, still moving in the right direction with this morning's post. Not much on the NBA card tonight so I'm sure I'll have a college play.

    Always good to see things like this, I think it will help a lot of people to be disciplined at BR management (even if u are only betting points so far)

    That's quite a goal, but it'd be awesome if you accomplished it.

    How many points are you up to now?

There may be days where I don't have a pick from my system and I'll just make some comments on threads I follow to get the 6 betpoints for the day. No write-ups on my plays, just the picks. I can throw out there a ton of stats and trends but it won't make much of a difference if the pick doesn't win. Fade or follow, it's your choice, but GL in whatever you do.
    I love this concept, and am a huge supporter! BoL on your upcoming year, hopefully you succeed beyond your wildest expectations and make 50 g's
