    Thanks for letting us know that it's not a good idea to buy picks from a tout.

    And, yeah, it's not a good idea to buy picks from a tout.



    Do your own work folks.

    Remember, as I always say, keep track of your bets and why you made them.

                  Not dogging the youtuber, but dude talks about beating the closer.

                  I've posted some strategies that beat the closing line, and showed profit, handily over the last few years, all recorded.

                  I've had some duds too.

                  But when it comes to beating the closing line, which I obviously value as I include it in so much of my tracking here at SBR, I'd like to say this...

                  ...Also, think about this for a minute, when it comes to closing line value. If you had an angle, system, aspect of your predictions that was unique, that nobody else has, then your EV should be pretty big.

                  But would you beat the closing line? How would one expect to fair against the closing line? Wouldn't they be right about at the closer, with some variance too and fro?...
                  I have strategies I don't post, make no mistake. I also rarely post when I'm still trying to get down, with the exception of some plays, and they get posted only in the main thread, for the Ridahs.

                  Remember, for those who are more serious at calculating an edge and approaching sports as a business, you can have quite a bit of EV withouth beating the closing line by a ton.

                  It's possible. EV is what's important, CLV can come second, but the two should be watched together, and help make up the complete breakast (overall picture of strategy health).

                    Isn't the real money in posting fraudulent plays with fraudulent lines and when confronted shout them down with "dumb shit", "dumb shit", "dumb shit", ad nauseum to the point where the confronter just says 'fuk this, I give up" and leaves?

                      There’s no such thing as a sports handicapper they’re called sports frauds looking to make money by scamming people with fake records

                      All they do is sell whatever amount of games shows a profit for example the last six games were four and two or the last hundred games for this and that

                      If you go back long enough or short enough you always have a winning number They’re just looking for one they had a positive return and they sell that which is total fraud

                        I dunno. There are kids i keep tabs on here and there that hit at a crazy rate. These 20 year olds are killing it. Something like 65% out of over 4000 bets. They get a taste of Twitter sportsbook sponsorships and sell out.

                        Kids would have been old school touts after losing their ass back in the day.

                        Capping isn't what it used to be. You have next gen stats, pff, more info is public now that sports betting is cool.

                        Fuk it. Just spot bet and have fun, one way or another. Or keep thinking you have it all figured out, you'll either lose your edge or lose your ass
