Nicky is the second sharpest guy ever to hit a forum, the only guy better than him was Sick Gambler.

lol.. thanks jj.... i think.......
and thanks to all here for the comments.. this was my 1st contest in my 11 yr posting career. i've never liked em and always found them a waste of time and effort because it takes my time away from real gambling when a line moves and you're trying to beat the book to the #, while you are typing in your contest bets and you miss the move.. this is not good for business. I only did it to help out onner because he pm'ed me asking me to play, and i wanted to help tony and deuce too.
i have entered my final contest ever.. unless it's Paver, or if LT the scam tout wants to have similar contest with me, i wouldn't mind taking their money. but it must be at least 5k.
thanks again boys and thank Crazyl.. i know you must be the happiest guy in the world that this contest is over.

Congratulations, Nicky - hitting 55% on stale lines is a fantastic achievement.

no way nicky won. how can a tout be down 20+ units? this doesn't seem realistic at all. i mean nicky is not charging people a cent and he is on fire.

How was it a "team" contest when one guy picked 90% of the the team's plays?
How was it a "handicapping" contest when all you have to do is find the 20 games or so each day that are the most off from their openers?
How is it a legit contest when there are no updated standings throughout the entire month?
Worst "contest" ever on SBR.

i love it, here come the bashers.. lol...the only thing is, that you bashers are clueless and dont understand gambling, and i dont want to give anything away because i dont want to educate you all, but this contest was NOT about %.. it was about units won.. i could have easily gone 36-14 over 50 games and hit 72%.. this would have been easy to do.. but would i rather go 36-14, +21 units, and 72%, or hit 56% and end up +52 units??
you guys that are all bashing me, pls stop, cause you all have no clue.. danny, i told you before contest that i dont guarantee you i end up with best %, but i guaranteed you that i'd end up with more units than anyone and any team combined..
and if its not really good what i did, how do you explain your here LT who ended up -30 units in a stale line contest? if my +52 units and 56% is not impressive, what have you got to say about LT??

Not bashing you. It was smart to play all the line moves you did. I hit over 60% on my stale plays. Not everyone has the time you do to post every line mistake throughout the day. I am bashing the genius that came up with the no max play rule.
Congrats on the $100 win Nicky. I figure you made 50 cents per hour for your effort.

the stale line argument doesn't fly, everybody was on a level playing field. Why do people keep bringing this up???? We were all playing with stale lines.

Then re-name it a stale line contest, because very little handicapping was involved. And have updated standings once in awhile so teams know where they stand.

exactly, fiver.. 74% couldn't manage to hit 50% and i am getting bashed for hitting 56% and hitting +52 units..
danny, you ask why i didn't go 36-14 instead?? maybe because we might have lost as i would have been up only 21 units instead of 52units and we probably would have lost, that's why..
if it was so easy, why was LT down about 30 units.. i wonder why since he is so successful and it's a stale line contest..
i was expecting this bashing no matter what.. even if i hit 81% and ended up +124 units, i'd still be getting bashed.. i had more units than every team combined, yet i have bashers mocking me for playing in a stale line contest when the same so called sharp guys couldn't even hit +5 units, and we were all on same level..

Because Nicky continually blows his own trumpet (when onthewhat isn't blowing it for him) about what % he hit in the contest. With stale lines, the winning % as a predictor of actual ability in the real world is about as useful as Deuce.

BBD your boy LT can't even beat me in a capping contest using live lines
LT Profits is the biggest fukking joke on SBR Forums
LT Profits cant even win his first round 128 man matchup vs a guy named stump that no one has ever heard of...he is getting embarassed in all contests
at last check he was down 30 units in nba and college baskets combined
and you are making fun of nicky for going 55% and +52 units?

Technically it was a team contest and even though one poster made roughly 90% of the selections, the rules were followed HH. Even I have to acknowledge that fact even though I thought it was a bit unfair.

Just because one team exploited the rules to the maximum doesn't mean the rules were set incorrectly. It clearly would lay blame on the team that used the system to their advantage, even though it was very gentlemen like.

don't be dissing stump...he is a good capper. if you check the previous contests, the only way that tout advanced was the other person finished more negative than him. he can't advance when the other person is in postivie units. this can be said about your silly who can finish less negative ncaa bb $100 contest.

i didn't know sbr had this many clueless guys. i just read a poster here say that it's all about %.. well, it's not.. in gambling, it don't matter what % you hit, you can hit 93% and be down money if you bet big ml's.. you can hit 64% over 100 games and only be up 24,000 on 1 dime a bet game.. or you can hit only 56% over 1,000 games and be up 80,000$ at 1k a game instead of being up only 24,000$ at 64%..
i might have only hit 56%, but that's what i intended to do.. or i could have hit 80% by goinng 16-4 and only be up 11.7 units.. woudl this have impressed you boys more? lol. of course it woudl have, cause we would have lost.

The fact that Crazyl couldn't provide periodic standings does say that the rules were poorly chosen. The no max play rule was a huge blunder. And who needs team members when one player can make over 500 plays.
This was not a team contest. It was merely Nicky shoving it up Crazyl's ass for an ill-conceived no max, stale line fiasco. A waste of a 30-day contest, IMO.

Nicky won fair and square. He dominated this contest.
He would not win a contest where you could only pick 3-5 games a day or you had some type of bankroll.
case closed
congrats Nicky. Job well done

Go through his video archives he has posted plenty of informational videos.
Also Ganch and Justin7 get paid by SBR to post the information, they are on the payroll. Nicky is not a paid poster.

dude shut the **** up, I'm tired of you running your mouth. How do you find time to post this much when obviously you're on Nicky's dick so much? I've never seen Nicky post something informational here in the past 2-3 months. Seems like a guy who just brags on how sharp he is to me
