    How do you call yourself a professional handicapper when you lose money year over year regardless of the sport?

    Shouldn't you change your name to Teddy Fades?

    How many knuckles deep does RJ Bell go up your ass when he wants you to speak?

    When you place your wagers do the writers just start laughing?

    You people are a joke. SBR wants to do something nice and make this site more real without all the b.s. and those are the comments you post? We can tell who the losers in gambling are...the losers in life!

    My question for Teddy Covers is...this is a serious question. I plan on visiting Vegas regularly with my wife and bet no more than $10,000 a game but win 75% of the games. I am scared I am gonna get cut off. My question is... If my wife is 10x more beautiful than any other girl in the casino and I am upright like I am in this post, will they give us VIP treatment and allow us to win off of them because of the lift we bring to the casino?

    Thanks,

    Teddy B

    Betting 10k a game in Vegas is common and hapoens daily at the Vegas sportsbooks. Winning 75% of your games wagered is simply not sustainable long term.

    Sports bettors usually are not offered great comps unless your betting a high volume of games over an extened period of time.

    I would about being cut off after the fact.

    No one cares about sports bettors in Vegas, the house edge is far too low. They also don't like shot takers. Go play $10,000 on slots and you'll get treated well.

    Given that you write for a mag, give your name, show your picture, state how much you bet, where you bet and that you win so much, how do you get casinos to take your action?

    Shit, this backfired quickly. You guys are savages!

    Gotta give the guy some respect though. Very visible in an industry that will hate the F out of you even if you win. He had some really rough years capping, but is still standing and making money in the business today. Most of you could never do that. It takes a lot of balls.

    My questions:

    - How do you best advertise nowadays when social media is king, but most social media ads don't allow anything betting related?

    - How do you price your product high enough to keep the turds away but low enough to still gain the most subscribers possible?

    - Percentage-wise, about how many of your subscribers are from overseas?

    - On a scale of 1 to 10, how useless is "motivation" in a college football game?

    Why was that John Neto guy in his movie?

    John neto is the type of tout that loses all your money for you and then tries to explain to you how much value you got.

    Winning 75% of the games you bet is perfectly possible. All you do is bet on favorites with odds of -300 or less.

    The Steve Stevens model. Or is it Darin Notaro?

    I can't remember, but chasing favorites is so "sharp". All I do is win, but when I don't, I'm paying 3x as much lololol

    Yeah, it kind of depends if you have people handling customers for you or if you do it yourself. If it's just you, and when it comes to price-point you decide to swim in the Wal-Mart space, you're gonna spend your whole day dealing with brokedikks and their petty issues. Price too high, and you might cost yourself a lot of business. There's an art to it.

    How do you reassure customers with the rising numbers of so called pro handicappers out there scamming people with fake records? Has this affected your business and have you dealt with some of these scammers?

    I was always sad Stevens costed so much, basically he charges so much it's impossible for others to have dead solid proof he's the easiest fade of all time

    Saying that a guy is worse than Lang is amazing, and I'm pretty sure Notaro-Stevens is, which is just unfathomably funny

    Serious question:

    When releasing picks and a given "line" what standard do you think 'cappers should use to claim as the legit number for their pick? For example, the most readily acquired line on a game for most bettors out there, or your particular number at the very time of selection, even if it's near impossible to get? This has always been a stick issue for handicappers selling or making "picks"
