After almost 1600 plays, it has shown an ROI of over 3%, which I consider a success. If you focused on props, futures, derivatives, you can do much better than 3% (but with smaller limits). In 3 years, I'd guess I've also answered perhaps a thousand questions on sports betting via pm or email, which I have always tried to do promptly.
I am no longer putting plays in the spreadsheet. In the past, chasers were likely to win going forward, even at slightly worse numbers. Changes in my betting arrangements mean that anyone chasing these numbers is no longer likely to win going forward. This makes the picks useless to followers. My time commitments have gone up also.. I'll still answer questions, but not provoke as many with posted plays.
Best of luck.
