Guess im sharper than I thought... Only took a 1 week... What is that now... -49.6 units for the day? Making the season -16.8 in 1 bad day... WOW
Not kicking anyone while their down... but it was inevitable with the insane unit amounts... Been there, done that.. Taken similar losses... but I dont disrespect or talk down to others while declaring myself a god.
I hope nobody here got hurt and lost a big chunk of their BR.

CT the above happened on the transfer, the IP number was traced to PM correspondance, which produced the aliases, a clear violation of Covers policy..Thx for your assistance, and the courtesy of your reply
SN
im just curious to what this is all about but if i had to bet on it id say its alot to do with nothing
Back in the old days, a butcher would cut a piece of meat and then weigh it to determine how much he charged you. If he could push down on the scale when you weren't looking closely, he could charge you for 7 pounds of meat, when you were only getting 5.
These days, it just means tampering. One way or another, people will take what are supposed to be unbiased objective results and subtly change them to something that benefits them more than the truth does.
thanks for the response
You know what is amazing? SN went the entire baseball season posting hundreds of plays, and he never once posted a single unit next to his picks. He simply made his picks, and then the next day posted a number that he was up or down. On days when he was 4-1 he claimed something like +30 units. On days he was 1-4 he claimed something like -8 units. That went on the entire season and everyone followed obediently. He had dozens of people chiming in with praises. Yes there were a handful of people who questioned the fact that he didn't post his units, but the followers far outweighed the skeptics.
Now in the NFL season he actually is posting his units for each game, and for the first time he is legitimately documenting his results. Meanwhile he is being criticized heavily for it. I honestly don't have an opinion whether this is right or wrong, I just find the contrast between the two threads to be very interesting.
If you see my posts earlier in this thread you know how I feel about teasers, and you know how I feel about SN's history of documentation, however I would really enjoy seeing his results through an entire 17 weeks. This man claims to have an expertise and a history of winning, I would like to see what kind of season he can actually produce. Personally I have not followed a single one of his bets this NFL season and I don't plan on it going forward, but it would still be fun to watch.
SN, I am not sure why it is taking you so long to document the results of your release sheet this week, but I hope you plan on continuing this thread for the remainder of the season.

I am definitely his biggest critic. I was a big critic during baseball season too although I didn't see his thread until the end. I think my criticism is actually the same during both seasons. I disagree strongly with the phrase "legitimately documenting". I've criticized him for many different things but they all have the same theme. I think he plays with the numbers. With baseball, he was extremely obvious about it. He has gotten slightly more subtle about it, but he still does it.
I would be all in favor of him posting a continued documentation, but that documentation has to confirm to GAAP or at least come really close.
gl to all
Have his MLB and NFL picks been money? Yes. Has his bookeeping been shady? Who cares!
I think you are missing the point. Did Enron make money? Did Worldcom? AOL? Conseco?
You rely on people to tell you whether they made money or not. That means that you rely on non-shady bookkeeping. Its been stated repeatedly that SN's baseball picks were good and profitable, but has anybody actually done a line-by-line audit?
If SN would restate his results to put them in line with GAAP and make sure that all of the lines are in accordance with what was actually offered at the time, I might be willing to give him some credit for a profitable baseball season.
Frankly what I'm hearing sounds an awful lot like:
"Yes I know this used car dealer has a history of falsifying odometers and forging maintenance records, but this car has really low mileage and a great maintenance history so maybe I should buy it anyway..."
If you can't believe the accounting, you can't believe the bottom line...

No, my friend you are missing the point. Enron,Worldcom, Conceco, were publicly traded companies that owed its investors honesty, when it came to their books. SN's picks and threads are not public entities, they are his and his alone. So he owes you, I, and everyone else reading this thread absolutely nothing. If you think he's a fraud, your entitled to your opinion. But to continue to publicly bash something you have no stake in is pointless, and i would think a complete waste of your time.

Well, I think it does serve a purpose. I think I am saving people a lot of hard earned money. I feel like I'm doing a public service. I'm analyzing something I enjoy analyzing and I'm talking about something I enjoy talking about.
I guess this brings up a different point. How is this not a complete waste of SN's time? What purpose does his being here serve? To help and educate people? Telling people lies and deliberately misleading facts helps nobody... Documenting a track record? Last night, I set the world record in the 100 meter dash. What good is a track record if its based on a lie.
There is only one reason why SN is here...He wants to sell a service as a tout. He wants to con people out of even more money.
The bashers and nit-pickers are doing nothing more than clogging up the thread for those who respect the opinions of SN.
Endless, mindless cheerleading is not a waste of time. Actual analysis of results is a waste of time. Are you SN himself in disguise?
Seriously, this thread exists to evaluate this system. What good is analysis if its all one sided?
I find it really notable that instead of actually responding to the actual critiques I've made, SN and his cheerleaders (ie his aliases) decide to attack me instead.
