SBRforum Looking for high caliber handicappers and writers

[gdoom]

I have submitted my contact information, and I hope to be considered for this position. I have a BS in Psychology as well as English and I feel that I would be an excellent fit for this position. I am an avid sports handicapper and I whole-heartedly and thouroughly enjoy conducting research and dissecting games. I am honestly excited about this opportunity and I would greatly appreciate an opportunity to showcase my writing and sports betting aquired skills in some sort of "write-off" or something of that nature. I am currently working diligently on my Masters degree and I conclude that this would be an awesome employment opportunity. I have submitted my info, as noted, and I will be looking forward to hearing back from someone. I am eager to submit a resume if needed. (In case my original message did not go through, I can be contacted on SBR or at gdoom@students.fairmotstate.edu) Thank you for you time and attention in this matter.

gl. to the winner.

[Wulfman14]

looking forward for some type of writing contest to decide who gets this. at least i'd like to see how i compare with other bloggers in terms of writing ability. i have huge confidence in my abilities and am an avid reader of SI, ESPN and sbrforum. i know what it takes to be a sports writer and am constantly "tweaking" my articles. also i wrote for my college paper. dont think education matters that much for this position though as my BS in chemistry pretty much is useless for a position like this.

thanks for the opportunity bill and SBR.

[Wulfman14]

I sent an e-mail, sounds like fun! Hope to be considered. You should take a sample group of say 10-20 people that applied and have them send in a write up of the same game. Just a suggestion.

good idea king

Some people would probably use that person as a fade then...

From the description of the job (read first post) it doesn't seem that posting winners is a requirement. In fact the only requirement is to write a nice article by using available stats and give an angle to justify your pick. If you can add some humor in it will even be better. But you can write the best and funniest articles all year long and get the most views and your record can be 30% and still get hired for the job.

Can employees still receive prizes from contests and daily points?

I'm withholding the winning application until I receive an answer to this question.

[Dark Horse]

No ceiling. Good writers will be marketed and become popular over time...possibly their own branded blog but its an investment in being able to do what you want to do. A new writer learning what works might get 20/ per and another has a career with nice salary. Bill Simmons can name his price.

So it's a create-it-yourself-and-see-what-happens 'opportunity', rather than a paid position.

Just as easy to create your own website.

I'll be submitting an application as well. I can do the job

[JDUB07]

Very intriguing probably will be throwing my name in the hat tomorrow. I have got to get a few things together and present it to you guys.

lol Weinke, don't waste your time.

[spargament]

hey SBR...check my sportsbook stats for the week.I'm winning at an extremely high rate as of late, am chomping at the bit for this opportunity. I've been carefully taking notes on all my plays, and already create write-ups for myself...I would love to be able to share these with an audience that isn't going to peruse through my hard work like an average post in a handicapping subforum. It really is discouraging when I see all the drama that takes place, and would feel at least like my time would be being spent in a worthwhile fashion. I've learned alot from this website, and many many posters who HAVE taken time out of their busy schedules to create writeups I've found invaluable in the past. I want to give back, no tout bs. I remember Justin7 taking time out of his busy ass day to answer what I'd now consider to be novice questions about capping when I first joined the forum. He had plenty of followers, was making videos for SBR, and still took the time to respond to private messages from a new forum member. Pay it forward.

I would like to offer my services for this job posting. I have various handicapping tools in my arsenal. I have one method I have dubbed the Currency. The Currency is not theoretical in nature but has an actual physical form. I attribute a unique variable to each plane of the instrument for dual outcome sporting events. I then physically toss the object so that it turns in mid air with the aid of two of my appendages. When gravity makes the object land whatever plane is facing upwards is the variable I choose as the positive outcome of the event. I then work to find meaningless statistics to assign to this outcome that justify its choice. When this is not enough I cite vague emotional awareness or false insider knowledge as further justification.

If the progression of outcomes prove to be unsuccessful I continue along with this method citing bad luck,cheating and/or variance. If the method proves to be unsuccessful over a larger sample size I have another tool I have dubbed the pseudonym which is implemented for a time before I use the Currency again. Whatever the case the methods become successful in the long run.

Get back to me.

a question

Hy can someone help me i need a bet forum where i could put bets like in sbr sportbook can someone help me?

[Boner_18]

This sounds like a good opportunity to earn a little scratch for something that is fun/helpful to do anyway.

Is there any requirements regarding reliability? I would like to write about tennis again but my schedule doesn't allow me to meet regular deadlines.

This thread is hilarious. Suddenly everybody is a writer. Unless SBR sets up a Bleacher Report type of site, nobody will read the fluffy crap this type of job description (or lack thereof) will attract.

[WhyWhat55]

Sweetjones55 is wicked good, guy should get a slot.

[robmpink]

Am I disqualified because I copied a story about a horse with a dropped testicle and tried to pass it off as my blog? Willie b got a tip from ult selector and pretended he found it.

[Sidetracked]

just noticed this topic definitely interested sending email now

[nobs]

do you have to be nice to all the piece of shit haters who ignore your 70 % winners then try to shit on your 30% losers ?

[Maxlock]

Bill, have the emails been sent out to whom you have picked?

[sabres916]

Looking forward to this. I know I am not as well known around here, but have been doing freelance sports writing for quite some time now. Cheers to all.

[ACoochy]

Bill do you have a time period of when successful applicants will be notified? GL

[Bob Loblaw]

Just sent an email. I'm your guy for MLB Bill
