Been gambling on sports all of my adult life (20+ years) & I can honestly say that I seriously doubt I’ve ever ended a year ahead of where I started. It’s consistently so bad that close friends (@ 1st jokingly, now seriously) believe that my bets actually affect the course of sporting history. If often gets comical.
That being said, I’m ready to see in an actual tally. Ws vs Ls; Units up vs down. Gonna use this thread to document. I need to put “picks to paper”. It’s been said that picking CORRECTLY @ a 56% clip makes you a professional/successful capper. I’d contend that I can better that…on the opposite side. Which, picking them all WRONG is just as hard as picking them all RIGHT…right?? Welcome to #fadecity
Let’s find out, once and for all, shall we?
Will do my best to post every pick here. Mostly bet NFL & NCAAF w/ some baseball and basketball sprinkled in. Anyway, here we go….
Though, I won’t count these picks toward the “official” record, I just looked back & went 3-15 on str8 up bets on football over the weekend. ?? I went 0-4 in the TNF game. Of course.
These were my pitiful picks:
1H U14.5 - 2u (L) *covered in just over a quarter
FG U30.5 - 4u (L) *covered w/ 5+ mins in the 1H
Zeke U60.5 yds rushing - 1u (L) *covered on last carry of the game. 12 yds, by far the longest of his 22.
Pickens O40.5 yds receiving - .5u (L) *George caught 5 balls…for a whopping 18 yds of positive offense

This is good to do, always........Prove on paper (document) whether your capping methods work or not then you cna make a very informed decision on how to proceed....
That said, based on your comments, you're obviously doing something wrong in your methodology. Therefore it would also be helpful TO YOU if you fill us in with specific detail how YOU pick teams, ATS/totals......many guys here can offer some good tips to help you improve your method. Find a user profile named VANZACK and bookmark it. He articulates very well sound capping strategies (as do I) There are others.

I'm literally hitting 31% this season in NFL. I track my bets. My record is 20-42-1. Never parlay always straight bet. Actually I bet my first 2 team parlay last weekend in NFL this season and won lol. -$5k in NFL and around -$10k overall in all sports this year. Total record across all sports this year is 47-87-5 33%. Wanna be friends?

Gambling is entertainment, I've spent around $10,000 on this stuff, loads of fun. Some of you bet 10k on one game and I respect that. Good luck tonight.

Cowboys annoy the shit out of me, but the whole famdamily will be here rooting them on, so might as well 1/2 ass pull for theM together, in the spirit of Christmas Dallas looked awful and Miami played lights out last week. Generally see teams flip flop the next week, so like the way this sets up.
