    ok, this % is going back to late 2008, so i plan on keeping it up for a long time, as its been almost 2 years and running now. But keep firing away fella

                The time period is meaningless, you're clearly just trying to make yourself sound better than you are.

                40 games is a minuscule sample size. And on top of that you've made a significant portion of those plays in the last month. So all of a sudden there's tons of value out there? I don't think so.

                Will you continue to win? Probably. I take nothing away from what you have done, success is success and you've clearly done well. If you continue to keep it up then even better, but there are too many reasons for this thing to turn at least somewhat south (in my humble opinion).

                BOL.

                            I could care less what you or anyone else thinks about the thread. You clicked on it, nobody forced you to.

                            Patty, I am curious as to how far from 85% these picks will end up as I track them. Obviously it won't continue to be that high. In my opinion, Brock has peaked with the rubber band plays, and they will not hit at as high of a rate, while many posters will continue to bet a significant portion of their bankrolls due to the success the plays have attained thus far despite a relatively small sample size. I give credit to Brock for what he has accomplished, but I feel as though his plays are overrated at this juncture, and I aim to see how the plays turn out after he has hit such a high percentage.

                            Carry on all.

                                How many times does he have to spell it out that he's merely testing a theory? He even wished Brock the best of luck. It's for tracking purposes and he's not talking shit, he's just expressing his opinion. Is your brain so underdeveloped that it's unable to argue without resorting to petty attacks?

                                        96% at covers on over, this play better hit or there will be mass suicides. I'm gonna put my inheritance on this play!

                                        Fuuuuk! That means I'm gonna have to kill my fukin parents tonight! I just hope my lawyer can get all their assets liquid by 7:00

                                                                        i give brock credit for not taking this personally. usually when a guy puts his rep on the line with picks and loses a few, he takes it out on the board.

                                                                        Brock is a classy gent, hopefully the rubberband gets back on track.

My theory was that you were getting too lose with your rubber band plays, too cocky, and that 85% was a pipe dream that would never hold up over time.

                                                                            The results thus far are barely worth noting based on a 6 game sample, though they are within my hypothesis that your plays would hit closer to 50-60% than 85% following their peak. Don't worry about my thread and go back to picking winners, that'll show me.

Everynight there is a rubber band play?? Brock u said that in baseball there will not be many rubber band plays?? Seems to be one everynight!! Seems like the rubber band plays stand for u taking the rubber band off your money to put it down on a game... I love your play tomorrow though... Good luck and I hope u stay hot... I just find it hard to belive that u r betting big on all these plays as say the Butler game?? Although u r a degenerate who attends GA meetings so u may of only had 500 to your name during the Butler game and since ran it up to 4-5k and now r betting 1k-1500 on these games.. Whatever it is noway these plays r special anymore as there is one every other day!!!
