You need to stop making so many picks man. Just go with your strongest 2-3 plays. It's not a coincidence that your record became progressively worse the more plays you added. Anyway, bol and I hope all of them cash.

I have tried that before, and usually my strong plays are the ones i get unlucky with.. I have had one losing day in 5 days 4-5-1 (thats not bad). If i would have only made 2-3 plays i would probably have at least 2 losing days, and a lower record.

That is what is called "data snooping".

It is picking a date or point of reference to make your record appear better than it actually is.

You are 60% over the last 6 days? okay, what about the last 8 days? or the last 10 days?

Let's be honest here. In your bet you had with me in the NCAA/NIT tourney, you guaranteed 66% and missed it by 16%. And that is over the last 14 days.

DMAVS · 03-30-11, 08:25 AM

If you want me to look back at every single pick i have made here.. it would be around that percentage. Let me look them all up

captrobey · 03-30-11, 08:40 AM

Good luck with your picks today

Swinging Johnson · 03-30-11, 08:56 AM

DMAVS...you are in a forum with guys who have been around the block more than twice regarding sports gambling. Your affinity for parlays and the pure volume of bets exposes you as a young guy who hasn't been doing it long enough to know this is a recipe for disaster.

Now, even the most grizzled veterans are willing to listen to anyone, young or old, who can pick winners on a consistent basis. Everyone realizes even the very best will have losing days and losing weeks and yes even losing months. However, it is painfully obvious your desire to prove everyone wrong by maintaining your "style" is at the very least stubborness and at the worst, an addictive pattern of insanity that Einstein quoted as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

I am not saying you're bad but the problem is, if you continue like this, nobody will ever know if you're good either. Nobody overcomes the odds you've stacked against yourself. It's tough enough to pick out 1-3 games a night and get above 55% never mind betting dozens of plays in the course of an evening and espousing parlays as a winning methodology. You're going to lose your audience if you continue but I suspect you won't change even though the consequences will be a thread that will sink to the depths of this forum.

137-127 are my picks outside this thread (not including the parlay picks that would increase my record) 52%

overall with 41-27
178-154 54%

I will add the parlay picks with swinging johnson later (since we cant be "selective" and it has to be all the picks..)

Swinging Johnson · 03-30-11, 09:25 AM

No need to research. Your parlays lost a total of 60 units and you went 0-16 in parlays. You cannot count each pick in the parlays individually as each parlay itself is construed as a single bet.

What about adding the 16 losses? Doesn't that make you 178-170 at 51%?

jorge1 · 03-30-11, 09:52 AM

I dont mean to budge into you guys discussion, but usually for my book-keeping i keep parlays separate...The payoff is way larger, so its gotta be separate.

If you account one parlay winning, as one win, part of the whole lump sum, then its not realistic, because that parlay won you alot more than just one unit. Just my thoughts...

MartinBlank · 03-30-11, 10:47 AM

Whoa there Nellie.

You are counting your 54% overall record, but ignoring all your parlay losses?

When added all up, I am guessing your are down for overall units.
