The manner in which you constantly buy half points, and the amount of times that you buy on/off 3's and 7's (increased juice) has to be accounted for.
You are losing bets at -120 to -130, yet you only count wins and losses.
If you are going to promote yourself, and you certainly do that, you should try to not misrepresent how you are doing.
Just a thought
I love the disclaimer lol, I don't want rain on your parade, but...
Thanks for the advice Hugh. It's not needed, especially today, I've always said I buy a half point, so the hook on any game any .5 which isn't much. I don't buy off of 7s or 3s. Or if I did it is an annomoly. For example, the Texans were -3. I played at -3. I could have bought off to -.2.5 for -130 instead of -110 and it would have been a winner. This is the way I play Hugh and if I were to flip it on you how many more game would I have won if I bought a point or off a 3 or 7. Perfect example is this game tonight, I could have won large at -2.5. But I didn't buy it. I'll nnounce if I buy a point that I usually would not, and there is usually merit for it. Aside from that, everyone knows I will buy down a hook anywhere. And guess what I've lost a lot more not buying them down, which is why I've implemented what I do. I play well enough where I've built massive bankrolls, so I know what I'm doing and I do the calculations and I also will have a reason should I buy a point or half point when I usually wouldn't.
All the rambling, I appreciate what you might do in your own games, but I count my wins and losses. There are not set rules on that. And I post for fun, I don't need to post.
I like when people win. You can tail or fade. To be honest, I'm not sure if you ourkey commentate or post picks. What do you do? There is no misrepresentation at all 20 wins and 10 losses. That's it
And I'll leave you with this, say no points are bought at all. Juice changes by the minute. So do you go into other people's threads and say well did you get Chicago at -105 or -115. It's not always -110. There are teams that will have -110 drop to -105, some are -120 while the other team is even. So should we count that too? Oh yes, and rhe books and there lines. They are all different. Should we count that and track SBR and what books people use. You're getting too into the weeds.
