I hope you are still posting when you have even 300 or so plays. 80 plays is way too small of a sample size.
I wish you more than luck

In regards to the haters who post here...you might just look at them
as being people who continually make mistaken attempts to give
credibility to uniformed opinion....As we used to say in good ole
NAVY...big mouths with humming bird behind holes....
Keep up the good work and sharing.....focus on the good stuff
and let the rest slide away....

It's hilarious that you have no life and continue to post these essays which are thinly veiled attempts at humble brags (I have been hitting close to 70 percent for my life in gambling - which by the way is a lie - if you could do this - you wouldn't need to post here on Covers - you'd be filthy rich - which you clearly .. are not).
I mean, kudos to you for having a hot streak - but you won't keep up 60 or 70 percent simply because Vegas IS smarter than you. And everyone else.
And of course you have some ridiculous post about Covers banning you because your picks are too good - which is hilarious. Again, I want the name of ONE person who has been banned for being too good. Come on - man up and give me the name. Oh, you can't. Because you were wrong. AGAIN.
Please do us all a favour and get a life. Enough with these humble brag books. You clearly have issues so you need to write novels to feel good about yourself.

One who goes 70% making 100 bets w/ 1 unit flat bet wins 37 units.
Someone who goes 60% making 250 bets wins 40 units.
FWIW - I definitely not in the cat B. :-)

Since KS has decided not to address the haters, which I totally agree with I thought I would chime in.
Simply put the dude is pretty smart, a great capper and good human being. Why are any of things a bad thing?? You don't know him. He may have a lot of money or maybe he is not as interested in the money and likes that people value him and his insight. That could be his reward verses the almighty dollar. There are still people in the world who don't care about the money. He does not have to justify himself to anyone, let alone a hater like you. He has helped several people on Covers including myself. He has a well thought out write up on most plays and does his homework. He never said he was going to banned. He simply stated other people brought up the point he may be banned and responded. Why you haters can't just focus on something good happening here is beyond me. He is just trying to bring some awareness to blind tailers and few others and give his opinion on the game of sports wagering. Is it a little wordy? Yes I would give you that, but there is no place for you calling names and judging his character. If you are looking for a fight go to another thread. KS and the group of followers want to keep it positive here. Good luck on your plays or tailing KS.

do believe it's most certainly possible BUT two things must happen:
Discipline/selectivity/patience and the absence of an ego. IF we're all
honest we bet much more then just one sport. Personally I bet OR watch
well in excess of 10 type of sports.
The
sports I have a REAL passion for and follow religiously on every breaking news: National Hunt racing (youtube Long Run Gold Cup) Flat Racing Footy- EPL
Footy- Champions League
NFL MLB
The sports I have an interest in and follow VERY closely: Formula One
Tennis
Footy- La Liga

sports I have a passing interest in and follow from a general big
picture view meaning I could still name the main players and teams in
all sports below and know enough about them sufficiently enough to take a
view: Snooker Darts Tour De France Cricket Ice Hockey Boxing Golf Moto GP |

if I were to pick one sport that I could make money confidently, I'd
choose National Hunt racing no question. But there is no chance in hell I
can ever hope to simply bet solely on National Hunt racing unless I
stopped watching other sports. Quite simply, i believe it's human nature
to form opinions and judge. To hit 70% you'd need exceptional discipline and patience. The ability to bide your time and wait in the face of tempting opportunities is rare.
The second variable of "Absence of an
Ego" is an observation and perhaps no one phrase is apt then "put your money where your mouth". Witness
the number of "haters" on the forum on any type of posts. Whether it's
jealousy or even banter, it stems from the competitor in us all. We all have opinions. We all have an ego. As gamblers or sports fans we're also competitive by nature. Thus our ego will ensure we have that urge to back our views with cold hard cash!

You sound like all my friend's who say sports cannot be beaten.
You just need to read KS writeups to know that he has done his homework and knows his garbage and there is no doubt in my mind he is a successful sportsbettor.

I love when people say "you have no life" when you are the one spending time reading his posts, writing responses, etc. You are a sad and pathetic person. Try being positive dude. Life is too short for this nonsense.
KS - keep it up bro. |

Marines from Beruit to Tiawan because of CHICOM hostilities
towards off shore islands....talk about a bunch of lads who were
suffering terrible from lack of drink and women....ha ha....great
times those were...

Stop speaking as if you're doing it for the whole forum. Why in the world would KS need to "get a life?" And who determines what a "life" is and what one isn't.
It appears perfectly clear to me that KS DOES in fact have a life. He likes sports, likes to cap games, likes his dog.
IMO, if you think this kid's garbage stinks, then stay out of his bathroom.

#46 Posted: 12/12/2011 4:09:03 PM I still don't know why people on covers finds it their duty to post negative on someones thread. If you don't like it don't read, don't come into the guy you disagree with and post. Just move on.
Does not matter if I agree or don't, KS bol.

#49 Posted: 12/12/2011 4:37:05 PM KS I think you have the worst avatar on this site. Something scares me about that person.
And you get haters by acting like you know it all. Maybe you do, maybe you dont. But you do appear "to have all the answers" and if it was as easy as you say then please make us all rich. You may be good at what you do but its not as easy as you say for anyone. You could cap for hours upon hours to always bet the game that got moosed. You could just randomly pick that unlucky game everyweek. Luck is a huge factor that cannot be beat and thats what keeps the best from staying at less than 70%. So I willl believe that you know your garbage and are good but common Luck alone will not allow you to break 70% long term. |
