    Not sure I've ever seen anything like this
    John Kelly, a guy who knows his shit, puts up a "Best Bet" thread daily across the street.

    He posts a play every day. Back in late September, he was sitting at 15-7-2 and +7.19 units.



    After tonight, he's going to be 50-66-2, -22.81 units.



    That's a 35-59, -30 unit slump.

    I've seen some guys go cold before, but not sure I've ever witnessed something so sustained like this from a pretty sharp cat. Poor JK. Damn.

        John Kelly? Is he Jim Kelly's Brother? Cant be as sharp as you thought? Thought i read someplace that this cat started a contest with a sponser book and sponser book stopped paying winners for contest. But John Kelly still maintains that it is ok to deposit into said sponser book, meanwhile said sponser book isnt paying contest winners their funds? This Cant be the same JK? or the same pretty sharp cat you just mentioned can it be?

              I keep waiting to see him turn things around. Figure at some point, it has to change, right?

              He had Eastern Illinois -6 on the road tonight. They're getting blown out by a 3-13 team.

                I never said he was good at running a website or contests.

                He's a good handicapper. I have no idea about his other endeavors.

                    I had a few month span during baseball season with some pretty similar results. It was basically losing, followed by more losing, and topped off with more losing. Made 2014 my worst year since i started taking this a little more serious.

                      I've had some prolonged slumps (like the NBA right now), but it usually passes after a few weeks.

                      If I struggled for over three months straight, I might actually take up knitting or some shit like that.

                      I know the feeling, and it sucks. You feel like it can't be that hard to win what is, at worst, a goddam 50/50 bet.

                        Yes BG that may be him........Guy has been running the boston marathon for the past 50 years, think he stopped around 5 years back... Is he still living? Guy must be around 100 by now......

                        BG, on a serious note....... Im going to be bringing the Lexus by the Car Wash/ Detailing spot when it gets above freezing again.. Make sure those Guatemalans dont steal the sound system and make sure they clean the rims real good and under carriage....

                        You still have that spot on Mass Ave? Let me know thanks FBT

                                Howd you get on the internet anyway??

                                      Did I just turn JK's streak around?

                                      EIU (-6) was down 12 with 11 minutes left when I made this thread.

                                      They won by 7.

                                                    When you are in a slump like that you got to change your approach the sooner the better

                                                      I can't remember the last time I even looked at another forum
                                                      JJ, I will report back and let you know how it compares to SBR.

                                                      Waiting to see how they accept me now.

                                                        It's a shit forum, but there are a decent # of good cappers posting there.

                                                        Quality ratio much better than this place as far as having to weed through all the bullshit.

                                                          Its slow over there. Not too much posting going on.

                                                          Coin may be right though. Still checking it out.

                                                              I've seen some guys go cold before, but not sure I've ever witnessed something so sustained like this from a pretty sharp cat. Poor JK. Damn.
                                                              this not only speaks to your lack of understanding of Variance, but the lack of quality knowledge on SBR that would kept you from making such a terrible error.

                                                              unless, of course, your motives are not what they appear
