Do we fade all picks from SBR Staff from here on?

[daneblazer]

Seems like every "It's Christmas" or "Coming out of retirement" pick have been more mush than a bowl of Bob's Red Mill oatmeal.

Could there be ulterior motives to get the real side they want in the SBR book?

We just auto-fade these from here on

[tony_come]

Hawaii+16.5

You never lost a pick?

Not a terrible idea though.

I respect both you and Lou a lot as gamblers, which makes me wonder WTF you cats were thinking taking games like last night or Vikings at home vs. Green Bay, or the Texans in Baltimore, or whatever Lou's other game of the century was (don't remember, but it was way off).

I think the OP is wondering if there's some sort of reversed meaning to your posts lately, because the picks have been so off from what you guys normally take, as well as the whole hyperbole thing for the thread titles. Maybe we're reading too much into it and you guys just whiffed. I was just stunned when you took the OU bait, given the drastic line move in Baylor's favor (you know a move that drastic isn't just fueled by public $$$) and the fact that Pinny was the first book to offer a -17 juiced for the Sooners.

Interesting theory. So I knew Baylor would cover and threw out Oklahoma as the play? Baylor was definitely a public play. I guess you missed where I posted the Jets over the Saints was the best play on the board last week? Because after the game I don't recall you posting that I gave the wrong side.

I got 2 picks left. They may both lose but I explained why I like them and if you want to try to make some coin fading them then I'm happy I could help. If they both win I reckon I'll catch up with you win I post one that losses.

Like yesterdays game I clicked on the SBR clip on the Okie/Baylor game Horseshak likes Okie the tout loves Okie he even says he is thinking about placing a good size bet on OKie ml. Horseshak then says wow I like my Okie pick even more ....which lead me to pounding Baylor Bears

baylor was not really a public play. it was about a 50/50 split

I'd like to see where/how you can prove Baylor was the public play.

Didn't see last week's NFL posts. Sorry. Belated congrats for hitting both. I've congratulated you over and over again in the past for the winners you've posted, and said that I always pay attention to the plays you post because they're usually very smart and calculated. Not sure why you're getting your panties in a bunch now over ? you Oklahoma play, which didn't make sense to me as I said beforehand. Oh well. Good luck on Navy and USC.

[Ra77er]

Oklahoma was slightly writing more tickets than Baylor across several shops (spread)

[Sarunas]

have JuiceLine make the betting?

and! the mans who tells makes the gobbles on penises, he make the betting?

And I would assume there was way more public money on the OU ML than Baylor, though I'd like to see the numbers.

I'm not expecting SBRJohn or Lou to be infallible. It just seems like their picks lately have been really against the grain of what they normally post.

70/30 at 5dimes on OU ML
75/25 at CRIS on OU ML

Well duh, the public isn't ever going to play -600 ml's of a football game.

NC you based that on a couple of examples like one from week 3 where Houston was 2-0. They haven't won since. If I actually did know the winners in advance I certainly wouldn't be sitting here typing. You want to book my last two picks for your 7000 point balance?(lets test your theory conviction)

[Ra77er]

I was simply relaying numbers Johnny, do not make me use the crane kick.

I haven't once questioned your other two picks. I have no opinions on those games. How about we do this though (I'm assuming you have the power to do so): if you go 2-0 on those games, you can take the 2,188 points over 5,000 (which I'm assuming is still the carryover amount for going pro) I have and keep them for yourself. If you don't hit both, the 2,188 can go to charity or whatever. Sound good?

Sure. Go Pro, transfer whatever you want to bet and I'll give you Hawaii and Cal +16.5 even. That'll teach me.

No "e-battle" here -- at least not between John and myself.

Stupid post. "You've fcked us long enough"? What does that even mean?

Fwiw, I'm on USC. Those teams are going in opposite directions.

coin dont worry about it, if this guy cant figure out that oklahoma was a public dog by seeing what books closed where then hes hopeless.

John's about the furthest thing from "hopeless" there is on this board. Just surprised by the OU pick, and surprised by some of Lou's picks lately, too -- especially, like I said, the hyperbole that's come with them. These guys have been around the block a time or twenty. They know what they're doing. That's why I don't get the catchy thread titles for games that haven't even been close.

honestly dont know why this stuff bothers you so much. you turn a profit most seasons from the looks of it. if they are driving public action, who gives a penetrate, everyones gota make a living somehow.

Never follow SBR staff picks.

They hit less than 50%.

I still remember justin burying the entire forum back in 2009 with his pick.

These SBR staff picks are meant for people to lose their shirts...with "bet of century", "coming out of christmas" crap

The sad thing is that new sbr folks see these threads and go all-in. Little do they know.

Now that this thread has come up...just watch the next new picks from sbr staff..it will be all winners....just watch...this is just sucker people in again...and bury them come december.

Still remember justin's burial of entire forum in 2009...it was a pick in college football...tebow's last game i think in a bowl game...he buried the entire forum by saying go all-in on cincinatti +13.....he said his math models were showing 5 star value...blah blah blah

vyomguy and i are in-sync with our thoughts.

I remember that. Placed one of my bigger bets ever on UF, but not because of anything he said. If you watched college football that year you'd know that if UF showed up to play, they would bury Cincinnati...and they were pissed.

forums make money off of posters losses

its no different here or at other sites

at least john doesnt give out 7 plays a week

he is saving you money

Feel free to fade away.

[SBR_John]

Do you know how crazy "I still remember justin burying the entire forum back in 2009 with his pick" sounds?

How about my '06 Rose Bowl pick where I gave you Texas + 7 and the ML? huh huh? Texas 41 USC 38. Still can't believe Carrol tried to run up the middle on 4th and 3 with 2 mins to go on the USC 40 and a 4 point lead. Maybe he knew I had called the ML????

[ZetaPsi808]

its funny u guys are hammering john when one of his plays loses

when john said the colts were a coinflip to beat the broncos this year no coin didnt post in the thread after the game

i nailed colts +235 thqat game bc of what john said
