      Exactly.

        Even by the standards of this forum, this takes the biscuit in terms of BS.
        You have teams of people working for you, travel extensively and don't know how to make 100k a year on a 70% hit rate?
        LOL.

          If the best you can do is 70%, you shouldn't be gambling. Find something else in life you do well and pursue your dreams.

            I was documented on SBR in NBA and NCAA hitting 70% of around 150-200 picks. I got a big head like this guy, then my avg went down to the 50% range quick.
            Raydog had to bail me out 3x. Once with my bookie, and twice with rent on trailer girls mobile home

              NFL season is over. I already posted my plays for a season on SBR NFL, and it was 70% ATS. And this doesn't count all the other profits I make out of Parlays/Teasers/MLs.

              I will start posting plays on NBA next. 65% is not very difficult, it's about my average long-term rate

                Of course I have other goals. I spend 15min/day on gambling, and don't plan to spend anymore.

                      The only way to do it is to have a bankroll that can overcome the inevitable streak of consecutive losses that fly in the face of your assumed lock rate. Eventually your money management is what will determine whether or not you make money, not your hit rate.

                          Well based on even my experience....don't play them.


                          These days, here is what my parlay team does

                          a) Use parlays to hedge other bets
                          b) Low probability low risk high reward parlays
                          c) Round robins


                          Those are the only 3 types/reasons you should be playing parlays

                            Well thankfully I don't have to worry about "my money management skills". I have a team who does all that for me, and they have done a brilliant job at making the most money out of my winnings in the past.

                              70% long term is impossible, period.

                              Even if it weren't you'd be losing money by winning at that high of a rate, even 60% you are leaving money on the table. Any bet at -110 with an expected win rate of 53% and up is +EV. You only bet 60% you are missing out on +EV bets.

                                Wait did you just say I'm losing money if I'm hitting 70%?

                                  lol I'm not really talking about making 100+k in a year or 2 years in a row. But long-term. You don't think getting blacklisted off every sportsbook when you hit 70% long-term is a serious issue?

                                    This guy has probably seen my NFL thread.



                                    And let's not just focus on 65% or 70% here. Even the weeks when I lose money straight ATS and so on, I still make it positive. How? MLs are also a consistent gainer for me. And then I have my "Teaser Team" which also helps out A LOT. In fact, that might be my biggest strength, yes even more so than 70% ATS Plays. And then even some weeks I lose ATS overall, my LOCK ATS picks still hit, and I put most on those. So they help out as well. And when I'm just still down a little by any chance, my Chase Team closes it out with a strong finishing week. I think I only had 1 losing week all year in the NFL. Maybe a couple I broke even (thanks to my Chase team making a comeback to help break even).

                                    But yeah, let's look beyond hitting high 70% ATS rates here. I have a lot more in me that still helps me out even when those aren't hitting. Making it very difficult for me to have losing week.

                                        3 threads. Only because the 1st 2 were closed. 3rd one is still open. But a lot of pages. So good luck.

                                          And as posted in my NFL Thread

                                          My man play today is

                                          2 Team Teaser
                                          Packers +4
                                          Jets +11


                                          And after that, many small hedge bets, on Packers +4. So basically, if Packers cover +4, I win big. If they don't, I lose big. This was suggested by my Playoffs Team.


                                          I've talked to Rodgers already. He said they will cover and win. Besides, they haven't lost by more than 3 ALL YEAR WITH Aaron Rodgers. And now they are playing their BEST. And are giving their best too (NFC Championship game). So its a great play suggested by my Playoffs Team.

                                            Good luck ssk. Maybe if Pack wins, Rogers will give you a shout on tv.

                                                After that, hedge it, or if you have a strong feel on something else, add that. Do whatever. And make some easy money.

                                                tease it with ___________ genius???

                                                    Anyone else notice how often this guy has edited his threads?

                                                    Maybe he meant 70% losers, and not winners.

                                                      I just happened to look at one of his "threads", and read this gem....

                                                      "Romo got injured. I didn't bet on no injured Romo-less Cowboy team. F*uck that. I didn't deserve that loss. If Romo hadn't got injured, and I lost that bet face-up, I would take that loss and never even consider betting NYG 2nd half. So really I didn't deserve that loss. "

                                                      To translate. Tony Romo got injured against the Giants. So he isn't counting that Cowboy selection because well, Romo got hurt.

                                                      Jeezus. Honest to god, these f'in people are lunatics.

                                                        What do you mean? All my plays are unedited. But that would be editing posts. What do you mean editing threads? I didn't open new threads because I wanted to. The others got closed, so I was forced to.

                                                            Well I already posted the Teaser I'm playing Packers +4 with. The other is a HEDGE Packer +4 bet. Do you know what that means? If you did, you would know you have several options on what to tease it with. I'm doing a lot of them.

You can join another fun ride or watch again from the side.
