Help for JJ... Intervention time!

[robzilla]

Okay bud. This is an online intervention.

You need some help. I think everyone who has seen one of your videos is responsible to get involved in helping you. Im not saying not to bet anymore, but you know you have a problem.

When u say gambling is like cocaine there is a disconnection from reality.

If you dont want to go to gamblers annonymous then follow some of these helpful steps from me and other people who actually make money, who treat this as a business and dont feel a rush from backing a team or laying odds.

1. If you are going to bet, WATCH SPORTSCENTER every morning and night!!!! Know the teams inside and out. When you took SD and GB plus the points today i laughed cuz i knew you were about to lose outright.

2. Build a bankroll and manage it. Break it down in to 2%=1 unit amounts. Money management is top thing to remember. Betting 10K then 10K again and again will get you no where!

3. Shop odds. no brainer.

4. Read a book. maybe Stanford Wongs book.

Everyone, the coach needs help. Lets help him like he helps prostitutes...... not in the same way ofcourse!

Read "Sharp Sports Betting" and look at the credits. JJGold was a consultant for the book.

How is Sportscenter going to help? Maybe watch Tennesse and Louisiana Lafayette on replay during the middle of the night like me, but Sportscenter won't make you win money

Look for the subliminal messages.

With all do respect, watching SportsCenter might be the squarest and most amateurish thing a gambler can possibly do. In fact, I would predict that watching SC has a negative relationship with succes in sports gambling. The more you watch of it, the more likely you are to struggle. SportsCenter is great if you are into fantasy sports but there are a lot of ways to access information that can help give you an important edge. I highly urge everyone to discard this piece information. Very very poor advice IMO.

Green Bay won outright too?

Wongs book was seriously dull...youd be better off reading wikipedias guide to sports betting..

Larry Merchants 'National Football Lottery' is a good read, though out of print these days. Ive also got a book called 'Gambling Wizards'. Each chapter is an interview with a big sports/poker player. Probably the best book that will ever be written on the subject, but that mofo is probably out of print too..Will have to make do with JJ's youtube clips

I think the watching sportscenter suggestion was probably made in jest. ESPN as a whole is pretty awful in terms of league coverage.

[VegasDave]

I watch sports center every night and am happy to say that I bet Boston and New York every night!

When they play eachother, my head explodes!

Sportscenter is good for injury info and locker room stuff that line services cannot provide.

Are you serious?

#1 There is no way you can watch every single game.
#2 Where else can you see what is happening with every single noth american sport in less than 1 hour?

If you arent watching sports center how are you going to see the interviews with athletes to see how they are? For example, say you are betting a prop in hockey... How are you going to see who is getting the most ice time with other players that will help put the puck in the net. Most times i dont even have to check NHL.com to see who is on the ice and who isnt. only suckers and little girls dont watch sportscenter!

Yeah I am dead serious and I think you are a total idiot and square for saying that watching sportscenter (SC) is a must to be a successful gambler. 1) SC mixes and matches. It does not show you really anything outside a few highlights from each game, less than 30 second per game. Am I believe to believe that your are suppose to make a bet based on what you've seen on SC? 2) SportsCenter does not include everything. You ever see SunBelt game highlights on SC? So if you want to bet a game between Arkansas State/Florida Atlantic, how then should you draw on SC for help? 3) The interviews and such on SC are soundbites and rarely do you even see them. Outside a few remarks by top players and some coaches you don't really get anything 4) Because of it's small sample size of information, you tend to draw on only that info which should in turn bias your assessment of that team. If I am making an evaluation of a team and I have never seen the play but I can make a judgment on a few highlights, well I am ****ed.

Instead, you should have suggested using the Internet and relying on teamwork from other gamblers to help get your real information that can give you an edge. Through the internet, you have access to newspapers from every city where you can comb through literally pages and pages information, coache's transcripts, coach's shows, real-time injury reports, etc...

Watching SportCenter if for amateurs and squares. I've never in my life heard of a pro gambler who attributes his success to watching highlights on SC. Requires much much more than that. Again, very poor advice that should be diregarded for young gamblers.

You'll be a better handicapper if you don't watch any games at all.

Got to agree with Buddy Bear here. While watching SportsCenter isn't going to hurt you, expecting to know "teams inside and out" by just viewing that show is naive at best.

Back to the intervention idea...doesn't A&E or one of those networks have a show about interventions, primarily for drug/alcohol addictions? That might be fun to stage one on a show like that and really cut up a la some Jerry Springer episode. Get JJ, The Prick, Bill Dozer and a few others to play certain roles. Then at the very end, someone like Flamers busts into the room spouting something about inside information on an Austin Peay college hoops game and everyone runs out ready to go bet it up

[Matt Rain]

Does that guy even (need to) bet? I don't know much about him, but he seems to be some sort of content provider/comedian for a bunch of forums these days.

I'd go out of my way to watch that one Willie
