    Does the law of averages bring everybody to 50%+/- 2.38% over time?

    If somebody was doing badly enough to fade, would they stop posting their plays?

    unfortunately no because 99% of bettors are flipping coins and therefore in the end they end up at 50%ish which is paying the juice, if you could be bad it actually would make you really good!

    tailing or fading posters will make you broke either way. make your own plays. then when you go broke you can only blame yourself.

    Seriously?

    Are you betting underdog moneylines, or is that all bets against the spread?

    Your moneyline parlays are all on -9000 favorites, which when combined make the parlay about -900.

    I'm sure you win most of your parlays, but you have a ridiculously small return on each win. You'd have to win 90% of your parlays just to break even.

    Bear, I’ve been trying to find one.

    But as an SBR Pro, only 9’s and 10’s want a piece of this.
