I've been watching this gentleman's picks for some time now and he is as good at this very, very tough game to beat as anyone. His cash management and discipline is exactly what most gambler's and handicapper's lack. And his preparation is apparent in his record.
Long before the internet I was a "local book" and every week there were gamblers that knew their stuff, but they would bet on the 2 teams they really liked that week.....plus the TV game....plus some others just to have action and they ended up paying at the end of the week rather then getting an envelope.
Phixer's documented record of profit is actually very rare and he is truly one of the successful gamblers that I know (via this forum only). And the NFL is the toughest of all on gamblers. I have a friend that manages the sportbook at a LV Strip Mega Resort, and he told me 2/3 of the cash at their book was on Cincy over San Diego. He also told me that nearly 4/5 of the money and action at their book was on KC over Indy. He said he moved that line constantly down to where at kick off KC was -2 (they were +2.5 when they opened the action.
Lambs to slaughter, they say. Well I can tell you this: If you only follow the numbers when they move and take the house side, over the long run you will make little to no money, because anymore the books don't give a damn about balancing the action. They are now owned by Mega Corporations and they have very deep pockets. So sometimes they are very comfortable to leave the line as is and just take a side. Years ago, when it was guys like me, balancing the action was critical because if I got sided too much, or had to lay too much off, I could have been wiped out.
I guess the moral(s) of the story is this (funny how when you get older you start looking for the moral to the story and you realize how incredibly stupid you were):
1. If you are going to follow a guy, this is the guy I would recommend.
2. If you are not going to do the work yourself, then follow one person, not a bunch of them. That is a surefire recipe to play way too many games or second-guess yourself when one "tout/expert/blowhard" likes one team, and then another guy you listen to likes another team, you are going to end up not betting as much as you should....or not betting at all.
3. There is a saying in horse racing that applies to sports gambling in general: "You can beat a race, but you cannot beat the RACES! The takeout, or "vig" eats you up. So only bet the games you like or in this case, the games that Phixer likes. Hell, he even gives you the amounts, and if you have a short bankroll, just be a percentage of his.
You should be on Sunday morning TV shows, not the jackoff idiot has-beens that have no clue who's going to win....and don't care. And I know people that year after year want to know who Dan Marino or Mike Ditka picked....they cannot even have a respectable record without the spread.
So anyway, hat's off to you Sir. You are the best I have ever seen and I've been around this for damn near 50 years. Good luck!
