He is the Best Overall Handicapper. Very good in MLB and NHL..good in college sports. Only sport he is deficient is soccer.
Should books put a bounty on him?

No. He's just better than most of us, which isn't saying much

LT is the greatest among us, yes. Paco is very underrated too...I remember him killing it in his famous "My Sports" thread back in the day. Wish he'd start another one up

LT is as great a handicapper as Pavy is clueless.
So yes he's one of the best.

I agree he is very solid. I respect his opinion a lot. He is also very disciplined. This is his life so he should be good at it.

LT has bad years like the rest of us, MLB last year. Not sure about the rest. But yes, LT is very solid. He is a grinder and truly loves what he does. We all try to find perfection in gambling; it's the ultimate goal. And that's what LT does...adapt!

I'd be curious to know what goes into his models. He's a math guy and seems to do well at what he does, obviously he's had bad seasons but overall he seems to do well.
I'm the opposite in the sense that I bet by feel. I think it also depends on the sport. I'd potentially be interested in taking up another sport outside of the NBA and working with some kind of model but I'm unsure about how to go about doing that.

Yeah I read the title and started dying laughing.
Anyone who's been here more than a year knows LT was one of the best fades ever before that.
Don't know his recent status though, appears he finally had a winning month here and there.
LT is the man as he is a nice guy and is probably the only worthy SBR employee on here- great for info, running contests etc., but as far as picking a winner it;s him, Landers, and Lakerboy for a tough "worst of the worst" battles.
How you been Tatddy? Thought you left here? Good to see ya bud.

I wasn't saying LT is bad. He's one of the few that grinds it out and wins long term. Point was that pavy is one of the biggest clowns on this site.
I was all up in your Mets thread yesterday bro! Took half a year off from sports betting but back now.

Tennis is the best sport to make money on, but the media/tv coverage from tourney to tourney week to week isn't good enough yet to have a huge edge IMO. Too many tournies/matches dont have live feeds and aren't televised. It will keep improving with coverage, but with tennis, you also need to put in WAY too much time.
You're one of the better NBA guys on here, you don't need a "model".
The best system is watching as many games as possible, plain and simple.

It's funny you say that because Tennis is the 1 sport that puzzles me and that I consistently lose at. I never go through long stretches of watching it every night like I do with the NBA but I feel like I watch it enough and shit just doesn't go my way with that sport.
Thanks, hope this season goes well. Been looking forward to it for a while. And for sure, to me the best system is just to watch it as much as you can to get a feel for it.
Didn't mean I wanted a model for NBA, I meant I'd be prepared to bet a sport like, say, baseball with a model to have another money making sport outside of the NBA.

I think the problem I have with tennis is that it's a very form-driven sport and yet I tend to bet just based on what I think of such and such player and not what form they're in.

JJ giving gambling advice after he lost $3300 on Dolphins +2 and going all in $7350 on Chargers ML. And this was after he lectured us on using only 2% of bankroll on each bet.
