    What is your record so far this season in College and Pro Football?

    What is this B.S. about your plays "Coming" from 5Dimes or a mirror site? What do you mean by plays "Coming" from sites and what do you consider a legitimate mirror site to be?

    Why should we care when your plays come? Early or late does not matter to anyone. As long as you post your plays after you make them, and do not wait a day or two and then claim that those were odds on that day, no one should really care when you post. Also, post what book you played them at, and for your sake, I hope it is a legit book, not your "Local". So far I see 4 plays but I have no idea where you made those wagers.
    Who the fukk are you to ask all these stupid ass questions??? He made a thread and if you don't like it, don't follow. WTF? You sound like his mother, what about this, what about that, where are you this, why are you that. Do you work for the Guinness Book of Records and want him to follow a fukkin rule book? Let him post whatever the fukk he wants please.

    1. Plays will be a maximum of 5% of the initial investment size ($1250)
    2. Plays will come from all avenues of sports such as MMA, College and pro football, college basketball, etc
    3. Plays will come from either 5Dimes or a local mirror site.
    4. Most plays will come very early so keep that in mind

    Do you feel that betting that many games makes is hard to turn a profit?

    Split, 5D and a couple locals. Thought about taking shots with cake books like bovada but not worth it

    I don't think so. I think if your scared about the juice, you should probably consider the fact that over your betting career it's already going to kill you anyway. Make the best plays you can

    one sport that I don't get into. Too much of a grind for me but may possibly do some work in the winter to see if I can find anything worthwhile

    Could potentially have 3-4 more NCAAF plays but they will be smaller more than likely.

    I tailed you on the following picks I like that you posted (Not to say I don't like more of them but some of them the line changed too much):
    Purdue +10.5 - $165 to win $150
    BUFFALO +1 - $110 to win $100
    IOWA -1 - $110 to win $100
    NORTH CAROLINA -1.5 - $110 to win $100
    AIR FORCE -11 - $110 to win $100

    I already had clemson -16.5 - $81 to win $70 ... about the only pick against you but placed it before I saw your picks.

    I'm right now down $397 dollars. I'm hoping to bounce back up to positive.

    All about volume guys. Take your shots when you have a decent edge (I use 3+ points personally) and hope you can stave off luck from ruining things. With enough volume, you should be able to overcome it. It may seem daunting with a ton of your bankroll in play in 1 day but there's absolutely no reason to believe 1 play a day for 30 days is superior to the same 30 plays in just 1 day. I don't advocate just playing every whim you have, but I'd rather take all my shots and learn/profit than sit on the sideline and miss out on both.

    On to our current plays, solid value with SMU +17 now. Line is trending towards +14 or so by kickoff. Clemson/BC staying pretty much the same. To be honest, there weren't 3 points of value in the BC game but it was pretty close and the situation is just perfect for BC to over-exceed expectations. BOL

    Play 24: Marc Diakiese -3.5 points handicap (-150) $450 to win $300
    Play 25: Marc Diakiese/Lukasz Sajewski DOESN'T go to decision (+100) $300 to win $300



    Pretty simple here. Diakiese is the much better fighter but the ML exploded up past -250. Diakiese is so athletic and young and improving that I think he lands something that will eventually get Sajewski out of there. Only way Sajewski can win is a flash finish (probably a sub) so I'm happy to lay the -3.5 points handicap with Diakiese being very hyped and fighting at home in England (judges should be generous) but I doubt it gets to the judges. Could get better odds with Diakiese inside the distance at decent plus money but I'm happy playing it safe with the 2 plays above.
