    Brock Landers - the most overrated handicapper of all time?
    I understand we all need some heroes, someone to look up to, but Brock Landers is not this man. Sure Butler helped him getting all this attention, and thats what Brock is AN ATTENTION SEEKER.

    A professional would just chill out now, but Brock decides to introduce a rubberband play already in the first week of the MLB season, claiming "if the foot fit the shoe". As the game has already started, I do not want to comment on the game itself, thats lowclass, hope it hits though. But to have a play already now, is not a sign of a guy in the zone, its a sign of a guy desperately seeking attention and action.

    And of course, the guy is not a professional, a professional would not work fulltime in an IT company with a pizza delivery job next to it. A professional would not depend on being bailed out by a family.

    What Brock fails to see is that he is no hero, nothing. The same guys that praising him now, will be the same that will be kicking him when he is down. Because if there is one thing that is for sure, is that Brock will find a way down again.

    I actually like the guy, I just dont think he understand how serious his problem is. He has a wonderful family, so supportive (bailed him out probably numerous times), still he sits around here constantly after work feeding his own ego.

    Ironically the guy wears the same grey shirt on his Butler success night, as he does on the CreditWagering stiff list (http://www.creditwagering.com/regularstiffs/) Surely with all those winnings you should be able to buy a new shirt.

    I think its just a matter of time before those collection agencies starts calling his family and work, then it will be a very stressful situation for Mr. B


    Brock is a nice guy, but gambling is just not made for him. He should retire now, pay 1000 dollar to CreditWagering and dont put shame on his family.

    We should stop playing with this guy, what he really needs is H E L P. I feel sorry for him. He dont see it now, as he is on a high, but we all know it..he is doomed as long as he continue betting.

    Take care Brock, you will need it.

      Excactly JJ, but he has never done that and will never do that, thus he should retire for the sake of himself and his family.

        i wouldn't say his handicapping is overrated since his rubber band play is nearly 90%, he may be overrated as a professional gambler, but i don't know if anyone has him rated high enough as a professional gambler for him to be overrated

            Thats the problem, everyone is worried about what the other is doing...

              The shirt was a bit ironical, but probably a bit too deep

              Yes he is picking winners NOW, but basically his life has been on the other side. Sure we should back the guy a bit then, and sure we should mind our own business...but just as much as I want him to succeed, I dont want him to end up bankrupt. Its for a reason a guy is getting bailed out, being on stiff lists and have to take different jobs. Thats the point where you still have a chance to return, and do the right thing. And yes I am worried for him, cause he is not a winner, never will be..and the sooner he realizez that, the better his life will be.

                    I am a big fan of grey T-shirts. They say... "I am casual enough to wear a T but not so sloppy as to wear a plain white T.

                                  Perhaps legit RIGHT now, but still a stiff and a guy who has failed too many times within this world. He is probably an ok guy in real life, but betting is just not for him. I hope his H U G E plays hits today, if not, we have just seen the beginning.

                                      This time when Brock goes on a losing streak and blows all his cash, he won't tell anyone here..he will just become less active. Have to watch his posting style to tell when it happens.

                                          overrated as a handicapper? I think you may be takin' all this too serious. He's not a handicapper. he has picked 5 or 6 games right & JJ has run with it because thats what JJ days, create drama & excitement. He is not a professional. He stiffed CW & didnt he borrow a bunch of money from his family to bail him out of gambling debt? He delivers pizza for fuks sake. I dont think Wayne Root or Fezzik are sweatin' their positions in the handicapping world

                                                Brock would do great if he just played his top plays! I'm the same way. If I were disciplined and just played college sports, I'd do great. But I'm an action junkie, so I lose over time!

                                                      over 90% winners on Rubber bands

                                                      No one can top that anywhere

                                                        Which is exactly why you won't keep this number going. I'm not hating here, as Brock is probably a very good handicapper and one that could make money with a conservative, intelligent wagering style. No way these plays continue to hit at this rate, no way they even hit 80% and id be shocked to see them hitting 70% over time. The average poster on SBR isn't always playing with a full deck and is more often than not a degenerate. These guys are going to start tailing these rubberband plays with far too much of their bankrolls and then all the fanboys will fade away.

                                                        Diamond makes many very good point here, and dismissing them completely ain't sharp. BOL to all.

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

                                                          Cheers DrStale. You summed it up pretty well. No hating here either, its just that as you say numbers will not last and Brock has unfortunately proved in the past there is more value in his family than in his bets.

                                                          When you are riding, you get a bit blind.
