    Time to get more serious with this business or just get out. I believe that i have a computer program that can get me to where i want to go (in this business)...

    Starting Bankroll on Mother's Day: $5000

    Goal Bankroll: $80,000

     

    In 2 yrs i will be 45, my only child will graduate from college and be on her own, with her career... I want to see what i can do with this business...

    And before anyone says, another thread, the other thread is making money (+4.82 units)..  Not great but at least its profitable.

    Plays for sunday May 8 (Mother's Day)

    Reds (-1.05) Listed ($105 to win $100)

    Tampa (-1.15) Listed ($115 to win $100)

    Chi Bulls (-1.65) ML ($165 to win $100)

     

    nothing else today...

    Thinker,

    Did you create this program yourself?
    Have you back tested it, and if so, how were the results?

    I am always interested in programs because they take the emotion out of it.

    Good luck

    Just look through one of his 25 threads now for backtesting and you will see the results.  All losers!!!  Well there was a thread he was up $75 or so then quit just so he could say he made a profit.  Not bad a $75 return for a couple months work...lol

    We need more people like Hectar, who at least tries to clean up this forum and rid it of dishonest people like you.

    Why do you insist on posting dozens of useless threads in a forum that is NOT the proper place for your nonsense.  You have NEVER once discussed any system or strategy in ANY of the countless threads that you have started.  You post NOTHING but PICKS. This type of thread DOES NOT belong here.  Post this crap in the MLB forum where it belongs.

    But we all know why you refuse to do that.  You crave attention and you would be lost in a forum with hundreds of other people just posting worthless picks.

    Many years ago you were a decent guy.  Now you're a scam artist who tells one whopper after another in thread after thread.  What happened to you over the years?    I guess that's what years of losing does to a person.  Very sad.

    This is exactly what you get with stinker, starts a thread, then another thread and another thread.  Hey everybody after 30 threads he finally got a few winners in a row and is bragging, he's likely down $80,000 over his last 30 threads so follow at own risk!
