  and he is negative- 2100 dollars or -7 units his record what does that tell you!!

39-48 his record that's 44% you telling me that is better than 261-164 or 114-68

Some have hope and understand help when they get it. For others you are right; wasted effort. Covers does not offer a course in basic gambling mathematics so it will never change. Not a bad deal though when you think about it. People that don't know diddly-squat about either baseball or gambling mathematics supply the funds for the books to pay others with.

peace

Appreciate the support and all of the constructive criticism......

Sounds like some clarification is in order...I have a decent grasp of the concepts of return on investment (ROI) and wagering with odds...It is quite clear that this system most often produces favorites within the -130 to -200 range...it seems to be averaging around -150 to -170 on any given day...

This is why I have made it clear that I am using it selectively...I don't wager on every game or even every POD the system produces...sometimes, I am very sad about that as it can POP a perfect 6-0...7-0..pretty regularly...

I usually use the PODs to fill in a parlay spot here and there and I use them to verify other cappers selections at other times...

This is not a system to blindly follow...at this point...and it may never be...it is not anywhere near it's final form...it is early in the process of gathering data and possibly at some point this year another critical variable will be added to the system ...ONE at a time...and then more data collected with that variable added.

This may very well be something that will not be "finished" in 1 or 2 or even 3 years...this does not mean it does not have value right now...

I certainly want everyone here to beat the books just as I want to win more often than not...if anything about this is confusing, please let me know...

If this is detrimental to the Covers community, I will shut it down right now and just do it privately...

It is not detriment smack. As you yourself say it is "under construction", but it does need a lot of refinement and ROI can not be ignored. I know you don't, but it seems many of your followers think winning games and winning money are the same thing. They most assuredly are not and you and the wiser heads around here realize that. At some point you will have to incorporate a money management and wagering system, otherwise you will never really know whether you are achieving your goals or not. Guesstimates regarding lines will not refine the system. I sincerely wish you

Best Of Luck

if the roi (return on investment) is so important than how can you explain being -2100 dollars in the hole and have a record of 44% percent picking winner why would anyone follow that?? I would rather have winner svp ( scott van pelt)
