To All Those Who Said It's Impossible to hit 60%...

[CanuckG]

I've been tailing him for a while now and i can say that he beats the closing line almost all the time.
In fact i suspect that books are watching his plays and moving the lines based on them.

[Hazious]

nice work son

[t-wizzle]

Very well done sweetjones... how many units are you up over that time?

[Dexter]

you have a sixth sense for this sport sweetjones.

[BayArea888]

calm down man, alright alright you hit 60% you want a trophy or something?

[ShogunRua]

I appreciate all the work you put into your picks/writeups. Keep it up.

[thfootball]

Is that how many plays you done over the past years, or just the past year or so? that's alot of plays and bets.

[sweetjones55]

No but it was a big goal of mine. The recognition/congradulations from some of my respected peers above is enough for me.

[sweetjones55]

CanuckG, I was very skeptical early in the year of the books moving the lines based on my plays but at this point I think it's a lot more crazy to say they are not watching my plays due to the countless times that lines move the second I post them. Not all of the sites move but Bookmaker (where I play) almost always moves. Dexter and a bunch of other posters were calling me crazy in the middle of the year when I started noticing this. Dexter and all of these other posters are now 100% convinced that my plays are moving the line. I went out of my way one night and put in a play at 4AM when the lines are rarely moving, the game was Heat @ NY. The line moved within 5 minutes of me posting a play on the Knicks. There was a total the other day, Heat/Raptors. The total opened up at 200.5, was out for 4.5 hours and didn't move an inch. I put a play out on the UNDER and it moved to 197 within 15 minutes. I would estimate that in the last 100 plays, that maybe two lines have moved in my favor. Never has a play I put 3-5 UNITS moved in my favor this year.

They may not be following the plays on SBR but they see the money coming in on my plays. I bet the games pretty big myself (a dime a unit) and I have friends who follow consistently putting dimes as well. Couple all those on SBR that are following and it's not so farfetched that these lines are moving when I put out plays. By moving it's usually a 0.5 point, not like a full point or anything.

IMO, there is nothing that difficult about hitting 60%


I'm currently 6-0 in the playoffs and something like 13-4 my last 17 games


I plan on hitting 66% when the NFL season starts next season

[Dexter]

i thought he was crazy as well, but i watched it first hand towards the end of the season. he plays at BM and the second he places his bet/posts his plays, the line moves at least .5 pt.

obviously some silent lurkers play his games big at the major shops.

great man youre tearing up the online sports handicapping forum scene youll be sbr points leader in no time!!!!

[dwluv3333]

SJ55 don't listen to the haters here, 60% is great. I check your thread every day to find out how I can make some good money. You're one of the few people on this forum that can be taken seriously, and doesn't come off as the kind of person who wants to attack others and flash their big $$$$ signs.

[Bobby D]

LOL

[Bobby D]

Are you making picks vs CRIS or PINNACLES lines at the time of post ??

Anybody can hit 60% vs SIA for micro limits and shop lines all day and have a 60% run

[tonyp0387]

It is impossible to hit 60 % . You are not playing the closing line or counting points that you buy or moneylines. Handicappers are graded on the closing line which no one can hit 60% . So dont kid yourself lol.

[RoagBettor]

Another great season SJ. Looking forward to next season already.

[GGRIF82]

SO,WHAT IS IT TONIGHT

[GGRIF82]

[StanleySharp]

[nthomas619]

[southpaw74]

Props SJ. Well deserved

[Git Lo]

Good job I like your write ups and I had a few questions for you.
1. Do you rewatch games you missed that you bet or watch them to get a feel for a team?
2. Do you attend games? Reason why I asked is because it doesn't get better if your trying to get a feel for a team then actually being there.
3. Do you do player props or anything other than ATS, o/u or whatever you post?
4. Do you have ball playing experience?
5. Do you cap any other sports?
6. How indepth do you go into looking into stats?

hope you can answer some of those thanks and congrats again!

[Inspirited]

excellent. just keep winning and laugh at the dogmatic modelers who say it can't be done.

1. Yes I will rewatch games sometimes. I will always look into the play by play of entire games. I've been recording a lot of these playoff games and watching them.

2. Yes I am a Miami Heat season ticket holder.

3. No I don't really do player props. The only prop I did recently was this summer, LeBron to Miami, way before anyone knew about it. I posted it up here on SBR and messaged a few respected posters and told them to lay the wood on this before the info came out weeks later.

4. No I don't have ball playing experience. I do play basketball recreationally a good amount but no HS/College.

5. The only sport I seriously handicap is NBA really. I bet on College Basketball and College Football sometimes. I follow my alma mater Miami Hurricanes in both sports and play a lot of their games as I feel I know the team better than anyone and can see glaring holes in their lines from a mile away.

6. I think I pretty much go as much in depth into the stats in the NBA as possible.

[Hanlidin]

It nut impossible, cus I hit 65%

[binomial]

well done, great effort.

[The fiddler]

Played every under in the playoffs....no cappin...no thinkin...just click and relax.

They have hit well over 60% and will probably continue to do so.

[RoagBettor]

When someone else can demonstrate 60% over 500 plays, then you can brag like SJ. Anyone can pick 60% over a small sample size. Very few professional cappers have hit around 60% with this many plays.

[bleek88]

I wonder is sweet jones unemployed?

[paco]

[fsutomahawk]

Well done! That really is a great accomplishment, and shows that old school capping is still viable. You don't have to be a computer nerd to make money doing this.

[Sunde91]

Phenomenal, but you made the thread why? Oh, to get your e-dick sucked by the internetz.

70kgman hit 62% over 300 (without buying 2 points to -140 like you on half your plays) and never made a thread or touted.
