    Its easy to go 2-1 on saturday of ncaa basketball 66% but you make 1 unit. I on the other hand bet 25-50 games a week looking to hit 55-60%. If I play 25 games a week and go 56% I make 3 units which is more than one unit and that is the name of the game make more money winning percentage is overrated.

    Like others have said on here I rarely post.  But if you could for sure win 66%-70% you would obviously bet way more than when you were winning 56%.  Make way more money that way

How is that?  I would venture to say that most reading this right now would agree that those last game chases lose at 80+%, right?  Well isn’t that an unrealistically high percentage of accuracy according to the nay-sayers?  Whether it is losers or winners, picking over 58% is not feasible right?   You have to start keeping a log to begin to pinpoint the games, days, weeks that you cap well, cap badly, and start to find ways to duplicate the winning methods, and eliminating your tendencies, or plays, or ways of losing methods.

                  What I am saying here is that this is such a simple endeavor, but you have to follow a few general guidelines, and then start to develop custom guidelines to accomplish your handicapping goals.  If you believe the people that tell you the 59+% is not possible, then they are telling you correctly.   Believe what you will, but if you constantly work to lessen your losing plays, increase your winning plays you will continue to improve your percentages until you stop this process.  If you are about to cap your card, but you just don’t feel like you are in the ‘zone’…STOP CAPPING and get your mind right, or do something else—at the very least you did not waste the time, and you saved money more often than not.  Don’t ‘wing it’ any longer—don’t play games you simply have a general gut feeling on, but bet games that you worked hard on, know inside and out, and then your gut is going to be right a heluva lot more that it is wrong (your conscience mind can only readily retrieve a limited amount of information, but it actually stores every single thing you ever knew, learned, said, and heard.  Once you pound a game inside and out your gut is then your sub-conscience screaming to you to play/don’t play this and that game).  And Stop externalizing and accepting that a play was not your fault, it was the ref, the weather, the this, or the that.   If you lost, something is there that might have warned you to the possibility.  Even if it was something that no one short of God could have foreseen, it hurts your future by pointing the blame elsewhere—find a way to take responsibility for the loss.

     

                  Do these things and I promise you that you will win more plays, lose less plays, know your games in more detail, and have more of a bankroll.  I can point out the nay sayers very easily—they will be the one who never post anything like this trying to help anyone, but will attempt to discredit my work for no logical reasoning.  I am impervious to the haters, and writing this was 100% worth it if it helps one person.

    Hi , just my 2cents worth on this topic....if i read it right

    #1. you can't cap ..." All he had to do was stay IN BOUNDS" , the clock still runs and the Bears would've Won , instead you have a loser.
    #2. if Romo just dumps the ball off to Jones , OR Murray doesn't go down , OR ..OR
    #3. all the Giants punter had to do was kick the ball AWAY from Jackson , and they're in the playoff's.
    #4. make sure you have a 20 points lead against Tebow with UNDER 2:00 to go in the game
    #5. Jason Garrett icing his own kicker

    all of the above are examples of some games , BUT anything , any game can happen to keep you from a win,

    you  feel you had to right side and you done your homework , BUT , didn't cash the ticket because of the "ball bouncing" the other way.

    at 70% , you have 3 losers outta 10 plays , how many were attributed to any senerio you can't see happening at the Pro Level of Football

    as stated above , just my 2cents worth.

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.
     Thank you very much for the kind words Glass.... I suppose it is impossible to just want to help people and not be attacked for it... the very thought of that saddens me--not being melodramatic, but it is just so very sad to me.  Thank you, sincerely...I am humbled and appreciative my friend

    How do I know?   Because touts don't make dumb comments and threads.  They also don't act arrogent and write words that spew with ignorance and at the same time arrogance. 

    Regardless if this guy can pick games are not, he sure has horrible communication skills.  He sure needs a media/public consultant if he ever decides to change his name and go tout.
