Sunny Isles,
If you were going to invest in a brokerage firm, would you prefer to know what they did last year, or what they
did the past 10-12 years? Which do you think would be a more accurate predictor of long-term results? That
is a rhetorical question. Obviously one season is NOT an indicator of a handicapper's true ability. Anybody can
go 60-40 in a season just by chance. And even a great 'capper can go 47-53. That's why I post what my
record has been since 2006, as well as what it has been since 1999.
But since your insistent on what my record has been since 2008, I will let you know. I did have a winning season
in 2008 (74-54-4 - 58% overall, including 55-43-4 on sides - that's documented), and after having an admittedly horrible
first start of the season last year (10-21 on my sides during the first 7 weeks), I finished 57-61-4 (48%). This season I
am 14-7-1 overall so far (5-4-1 on sides, 9-3 on teasers). So since 2008, I am 145-122-9 (54.3%). So somebody who
would have faded me the past couple seasons like you and that other guy suggested, would have gone 122-145-9 (45.7%).
I hate to break this to you, but a 45.7% system isn't exactly a good system.
I defy you (or anyone else) to name ONE person who has a better LONG-TERM NFL RECORD than me! Because long-term
is what matters (on investments, sports wagering, just about everything). I am 340-242-15 (58.4%) during the past 4 1/2
seasons. I am averaging +18 NET WINS per season AFTER DEDUCTING THE JUICE (and that's assuming 10% juice, which is the
worst case scenario, and not even including bonuses and free plays). Everyone who has bet for at least 10 seasons has
had at least one losing season, I can assure you of that!
