Fishhead · 08-10-09, 09:24 AM

Pleeeeeeeez Fred.........if so, the sample size is less than 100 games.

I will lay 2-1 odds against ANYONE picking 65% winners through 100 games against my selected pointstread on a game...........if they have good credit, I will lay 3-1 odds.

I'm sure Nicky is willing to lay much more than this.

What's really hilarious is that the majority of these clowns that claim to hit 65% will tell you that the line on the game really doesn't matter that much because their picks are that strong.............

They probably only have ONE out also........agent Joey down at the local deli..................

MartinBlank · 08-10-09, 09:33 AM

He is a tool. No way he is 65%.

I listened to the show for 3 weeks, I wanted to cut my own throat.

Scott Ferrell on Sirius Howard 101 isn't good at picking games either, but he is entertaining as hell.

onthewhat · 08-10-09, 09:37 AM

He says he has a lock of the year type play coming up. I'll post it when he releases it in a few minutes.

"Go ahead and cash the check"

Fishhead, i'd fade his play

SexyMit · 08-10-09, 09:45 AM

I followed him last yr on the picks he gave out and they were only 50% at best. His wheel of genius, unless he puts up other picks some where else.

lakerboy · 08-10-09, 09:46 AM

I'm listening to this clown right now. He just picked iowa and now likes lsu.

onthewhat · 08-10-09, 09:47 AM

His lock is Illinois -5 vs Missouri Week 1

He also likes LSU -14 vs Washington, says they should win by 30

I'd fade these

MartinBlank · 08-10-09, 09:48 AM

Anyone ever listen to Papa Joe Chevalier?

He covered gambling very well.

I'm not to sure about that Illinois pick! But yes LSU should beat the shit out of Washington

CaneDawg · 08-10-09, 09:55 AM

colin aint bad

meaning he is as good as any other radio host

Gemoka · 08-10-09, 10:00 AM

What radio station is this on?

AMBlai01 · 08-10-09, 10:01 AM

He actually said he's 62% in college foots.....and a little higher in NFL..

Also there is a thread that documented every single one of his NCAAF picks last year here somewhere....You might be able to find it if you look. Its called the Wheel of Genius (or was).

onthewhat · 08-10-09, 10:03 AM

Amby he said he was "around 65%" then later said 62%

I think this guy is a square

GODDAMN OTW, anyone claiming they can hit 65% IS A SQUARE!!!!!!!!!

smitch124 · 08-10-09, 10:10 AM

Here's the thread that followed his exploits last year, he did pretty well, again small sample size, but I find him worth listening to.

JoshW · 08-10-09, 10:17 AM

I am sure he can't even hit 55% going forward, but I do enjoy his show occassionally. I like that he doesn't take callers most of all. LOL

used to listen to him on Sporting News Radio.

Here we go...

here we go...

here we go, Pittsburgh's going to the Super Bowl

was a rabid Steelers fan and loved to chant those songs.

lakerboy · 08-10-09, 10:55 AM

What's the big deal about hitting 55%. If you bet you should be hitting that anyways and if you don't hit that then quit. Plus its funny how people around here say you have to do it over hundreds of games.why the hell would you be on more than 8-12 events a mth anyways.Its not wise to bet too many games.

dwaechte · 08-10-09, 11:10 AM

Maybe he meant SU?

LOL. If you're not gonna specify ATS, I'd take you up on that in an instant. Anyway, even the best handicappers would have less than a 1% chance of hitting 65/100 ATS.

.....I stated "my pointspread".

........and your right, a good handicapper would have about a 1% chance.............perhaps Colin is a bad handicapper, thus he can pick 65% winners.

fsugolf · 08-10-09, 12:59 PM

he picks based on jersey colors

Casperwaits · 08-10-09, 01:06 PM

Colin Cowherd is entertaining as hell and is one of the few radio personalities that embraces gambling and spreads and does not shy away from talking about them. He is by far the best nationally syndicated sports radio host out right now. I liked his rationale on why to take Illinois and his reasoning on why LSU should be favored by more made plenty sense. I am never one to follow advice from a radio host, but I am playing Illinois week one because of him.

BeatTheJerk · 08-10-09, 01:18 PM

SBR should have pointspread contest for the whole year with foots and coll foots .................. As of now I don't see anything like that lined up.

SBR is certainly not up to par with contests when compared to some other popular forums..........hopefully that will change soon.

Beat The Prick will have that all season long for college and pro foots

AMBlai01 · 08-10-09, 02:26 PM

Colin is entertaining and provides decent analysis not to mention he openly talks about gambling on ESPN...more than you can say for anyone else. If anyone else ever brought it up they would be canned in a heartbeat.

onthewhat · 08-10-09, 03:53 PM

SVP is the only show worth listening to on ESPN

I listen to Rivals Radio in the morning (7-11am) for college basketball/football talk, then Mad Dog Radio from 11-2 (The B Team Show) then SVP from 2-4

seaborneq · 08-10-09, 04:14 PM

Colin Cowherd has great leans, awesome information and feel for many football games. But I don't think he is above average in picking.

Herd was bragging on his 65% ATS record today, and that he came in 4th place out of 150 professional gamblers in a contest.

Yeah. He said he hit 63% in NCAA ATS, and "over 65%" in NFL ATS.

fsugolf · 08-13-09, 09:08 PM

I came in first place in a handicapping contest last year. Hitting "over 70%"
