    To All Those Who Said It's Impossible to hit 60%...

    To all those who said it's impossible to hit 60% over a large 500 play sample size. That a cold spell would hit every person after 100-200 plays and variance would eventually kick in. That without advanced mathematics, algorithms and computer modeling one can not hit such a high percentage. That 57-58% would be an amazing accomplisment over such a sample and aiming for 60% was just preparing yourself for failure.

    I am now 295-198-9 (60%) over my last 502 posted plays here on SBR.

    It can be done.

    half the people here want to be touts
    half the people here lose big time and are mad at the world
    1/10 of the people are good people
    and the other half don't know fractions

    My followers would never allow me to fabricate my record, they track me each and every day. Every single one of my plays this year can be found on my twitter account with no clutter at all as well.

    To all those yelling "tout". I posted my plays on SBR the past NBA season and hit 60.25%. Every single poster on here said, "he's gone after this season, absolutely no way he doesn't go tout." I got several offers and declined them all. I again started posting my plays on here ever day. About a month and half through the season I was hitting 64%. Everyone again said "he's gone by the playoffs". I still kept posting my plays.

    I am not going tout, I bet large amounts on these games and there is no need whatsoever.

    Congrats this is indeed quite an accomplishment. Eventually a fatigue factor may set in which might make it difficult to keep a run like this going year after year. Hope it keeps going for you. Good Luck.

    If you don't turn that fukkin' fund around.....the only kind of "agent" you'll be is a Free Agent......when your ass is booted outta here!

    Let's not worry about Sweetjones record....and worry about picking a fukkin' winner before our shares are completely tapped out!!

    You feel me?

    I am 113-78-3 +27.5 UNITS this season. Last season I went 182-120-6 and 38-20 in the playoffs. I started posting my UNITS in the playoffs and was up 36 UNITS for the playoffs. I wish I would have posted my UNITS during the regular season because I ran extremely good on my bigger sized plays. I believe on my posted "heavy" plays which I told those on here that I played for 5 UNITS, I hit about 75% last year. I estimated I made no less than 100 UNITS last season.

    I have never made a play above -200 in the last two years. Probably like 80% of my plays were -110 with the rest being 0.5 point buys.

    You really should go tout.. You can still bet large amounts on games as well as sell your plays.. your missing out on extra income.. just do it.. s
