    If somebody told you about a cell phone and what it could do 25 years ago, would you have believed it? Have you ever called the manufacturer to explain to you how it works? Are you creative enough to have imagined something as simple as a paperclip? It took less than a 100 years to get from paperclip to microchip. Just saying.
    1) Quantum physics has nothing to do with gambling.
    2) Yes; back in the mid-90's I did anticipate what cell phones would become, which isn't a big deal because the entire tech industry was saying the same thing.
    3) Do you know if he tested his so-called system or are you believing what you hear?

      The people who say betting is unbeatable always have one thing in common: they put very little time into it.

      They wake up, check the lines, look at the match up for 5 min, make a bet.

      Betting is just like anything else, the more time you put into it, the better you get. If you're looking at service plays, "capping" off the match up thread, or asking others for their lock of the day, you're always going to lose.

      If you are able to take stats and coaching and compute them into accurate power rankings, then figure out what the point spread should be for the difference in the rankings, before the lines are released, then hit the lines that are off the most as soon as they come out, you can win. There will still be missed 30 yard fgs, and bad beats, but year after year you can win. You just have to decide whether this is for fun or you really want to take the time to make money doing it.

      It does take a chunk of time. And even then, in the end, only the best 2% get paid over the long run. Imagine showing up for work and you would not get paid unless you were in the best 2%.

      The vast majority of players could never overcome the juice in the long run. It's like playing soccer on a field that's slated so the ball always starts rolling towards your own goal. Most are just chasing a dream, and end up on a forum with others who didn't find the pot with gold at the end of the rainbow.

      The sport that can be beat is horse racing, through exotic wagers. The reason that people can win here is that you can toss horses out. If you know how to do that you can change a negative playing field into a positive playing field. And if that's not possible you skip the race.

      Without programming skills people have no shot. Zero. Old school is done for. The army of nerds has caught up. A program gives you the ability to remember and access all your best ideas instantly.

        Exactly. If you have done this for some time you should know when a line is off.

          Quantum mechanics has to do with the nature of reality.

          He asked me to be a test player. It worked for me. But I didn't believe it would.

          Like most gamblers I could remember my worst beats and my biggest wins. So before committing to a longer test, I wanted to check those first. Checked about ten events and the numbers came back very convincing. My impression over the longer run is that all those crappy losses, where one bad bounce of the ball makes the difference, the games you have to sweat, didn't happen or seldom happened when the figure was positive. So did I experience it? Yes. Could I explain it? No.

I’d like to see how many will profit after a year of betting everyday using 2 percent of bankroll. Lol gl
            I know someone who chased into and back out of a 20k loss recently.

              I don't see the system explained on that link.

              Is he selling it?

                Make up your mind. First you say you have no losing streaks because of this amazing system, then you say the only market that can be beaten is exotic horse bets. Just use the magic luck chart and win 70% ATS.

                The system wasn't even explained at all. What's the luck figure for Penguins vs Blues? Do you calculate it or pull it out of a hat? If the figure is high, which team will get lucky tonight?

                  I don't think so. I haven't talked to him for a while. I was just reminded of it, because of what the OP talked about.

                  He's into abstract problems and asks questions like 'what is an event?' I suppose the question 'what is luck?' is not that crazy to him. He's into probability theory, but in ways that go beyond sports. It's not about sports betting to him.

                  Sorry I can't be of more help.

                      Idk I only chase once I have paid my initial deposit back with some profit . No matter how much I lose I never go back and make a larger deposit trying to get it back. Low risk deposit get the money back to me with a + then at that point it’s not effecting my life either way.

                              Bet on the top 5 teams at home against the bottom 5 teams on the road.

                                I read that betting on baseball is the most profitable sport. While NBA and NFL outcomes depends on the last minute of the 4th quarter.

                                        Its definitely been unbeatable for me... I'm down lifetime but keep trying to find that magic formula. Its about the journey not the destination.

                                          You think the vast majority of NBA & NFL games come down to the last minute of the game on the spread ?

                                              How do you know its not right without the data to back it up, your gut? I've seen many, many people go broke betting with their gut

                                                Using your data should radford be a 9 point favorite against James Madison?

                                                      Since when is baseball easy? Even big favs get swept in huge blowouts sometimes. And you never know what the bullpen clowns will do.

                                                          This is 100% correct if you have a large roll.....Also the longest sports season so variance not as detrimental
