    KVB began the Contrarian Fund for a reason

    Chucky! Amazing. Ole'Gamer sees himself as a man of Steel but no longer 25. As they say "I'm not as good as I once was, but I am as good once as I ever was". Hope you are still chasing the dream as I am. Loving life and chasing angles.

    lol yeah he started the fund for a reason all right.....to try and sell it off to his clients...

    what a scum bag pile of shit he is

    There is a reason he wont start a thread and keep an accurate record...u know what it is?????
    Because he is a fraud and his plays suck and he is a wanna be tout.

    Could you imagine the clients he would lose if he actually tracked his plays.

    Im beyond shocked that he actually joined fidels contest and is letting his plays be tracked. I mean look at his record so far.......and im sure he will say they arent his real plays.....

    I mean the "pro" kvd had to beg posters for bet points to renew his pro status after his expired....i mean if that doesnt show what a pile of shit he is then i have some more stories for you........

    Hey kev,, tell everyone again about going to your daughters christmas concert stoned out of your mind....go ahead tell the story old might one lol

    Pick winners and will never lose money. Ignore book manipulation and drama. Learn how to pick winners and you will never lose money. Data and stats don't win games.

    I know that coach likes to toot his own horn but, as a file clerk ...all coach can really do is confirm or deny that KVB has an active account here at SBR.
    He can also refer your sportsbook betpoints queries to moderators like Genie or Optional. Actual verification processes are left to actual administrators… There are some pros like Booyah who have authorization to verify posters, but JJ golds account is limited and restricted now that he has been demoted from Horse moderator.
    This comes from the higher ups, I’m just relaying info.

    Baylor was the call. UCLA should have beat Zaga. The writing was on the wall as Baylor was the better team. They were ranked #1 along with Zaga in the brackets for a reason.

    Wish I was smart enough and had the balls to bet them on the ML looking back and not take the points.

    Yes topper the public will often get excited and inflate the markets to give us value. It even spills over into multiple games and other markets.

    One thing that will never change is the public's thirst for favorites and OVERs.

    The originators and bookmakers themselves (often the same anymore) know this, make no mistake.

    They always shade the line, playing that give and take, but if you are patient for the high volume games then you have a chance. It's still a slim probability and there's variance so having to only pick from a handful of games a year can be troublesome.

    Grinding out the volume also takes patience, and discipline.

    In the end, track all your bets and why you made them.

    The KVB MLB Contrarian Fund is just another stategy to attack the markets. Seperating your tracking by strategy is the start to maximizing that benefit from tracking.

    Alright, words of wisdom rant over. I'll get some market based posting going on soon, and even though I've posted the backbone plays, I wasn't really planning on posting the contrarian fund this year. I had a different plan. I think it's going to be more about information, and steering serious bettors through that grind from the perspective of my office. Not sure if anyone wants a glimpse into that, although the glimpses we've had have been pretty cool.

    Just not so sure there's many more serious bettors here, other than the ones we know of and the silent groups.

    Good Luck Topper and thanks for...I guess the nod to the KVB MLB Contrarian Fund.

    They were pretty damn good Gold.

    I wonder what would have happened if the Kung Flu hadn't hit. Baylor and Gonza were set to play and very well could have ousted the Zags from the #1 spot in the polls.

    What the hell was that random rant? None of that made any sense. He's like a mass shooter putting together some psychotic fantasy land world before he goes postal.

    Some posters are out there.

    Some say picking winners is the easy part of sports gambling, and I often agree with them. It can be done with data alone but it doesn't have to be. There are as many ways to handicap as there are handicappers.

    But picking winners is the easy part, it's all the other pitfalls of sportsbetting and gambling in general that get the average bettor. Emotions short circuit rational thinking and the bookmaker knows this.

    Some people, no matter how much they are practiced and educated about it just aren't built to gamble. It's a fact of numbers when it comes to population.

    Too often we've seen the guy pick winners all Sunday long only to give it back in just too night games.

    There really is so much more to successful gambling than picking winners. I could write for days on it.

    Just keeping the Fourm honest Gold. That's the only time I speak up.

    And sometimes you have to be loud. One thing's for sure, I'm not only never alone, but I'm usually on the same side as the entire Forum, without exception.
