$50,000 bet between Teddy and The Prez

For The Record:

I'm really not here to complain that they are 1-2 each in their contest as I haven't laid a penny on those bets. I'm not here to complain that I bought two days worth of guaranteed Multi-picks from Teddy that went 1-5. I'm sure he can turn it around to some extent especially being that he is due. Also, true to his and Covers word I wasn't charged for the picks either day because they didn't go 2-1 and turn a profit for his clients. I would bet that he isn't happy that he lost the last two days because that is lost revenue opportunities for him and I'm sure he hates losing for people who try him out. In fairness to him he had some tough breaks as well on those games...

1. Rockets -13 (They win by 12 and fail to cover after being up by 26 in the 3rd quarter on the Kings)

2 T-wolves -3.5 (They end up getting blown out by a Bosh less raptors team at home in the 4th quarter after being up 6 or 9 for most of the game)

3. Miss State -1 (They can't win a double overtime game against LSU at home)

4. Detroit +9.5 (They lose by 11 to Illinois Chicago despite only being down 5 or 6 late in the game)

I understand that he has been on the wrong side of some painfully close games in the last few days. I and anyone else would be foolish to judge a man on a few days worth of activity. My point i posting on this thread is that I was shocked to see that Ted Servansky's All sports record is 52% from January 1st 2008 to December 31st 2008. That includes Arena football in which he hit at a 56% clip and if you take that away and a few non guarantee prop bets he is at 51%. That is not close to being a profitable year and a bad investment. It's definitely possible and likely it was a bad year for him and that the 10 years before that he was on fire. Maybe we can check those records later. Again, my entire point was he hit 52% for a year and that is pretty poor.

It looks like people with The Prez are on a slide right now as well, but I can't confirm that nor have I checked into his record over the past year. Both seem like good guys and I'm sure they want to win. I have nothing against them and wish them much success. I just wanted Ted's 2008 record to be transparent so that any possible investors knew.

First time post this is a very interesting contest i will follow this thru prez and make my picks along with you and tedddy.

You guys have 25k at stake and teddy dosent have st.bonny on his picks for sale he went 0-3 yesterday but prefered 3 games ahead of st.bonny come on buddy gimmie a break teddy is wagering 100k a game. anyhow good luck guys i am currentlly 2-1 and my pick today is goldenst-3.5

WOW did you win most likely to be a fucking douche bag in your highschool yearbook or did you drop out before they collected the ballots. Perhaps your screen name should be whoops and not mine afterall it is what your parents call you they must be really proud. On a side note I couldn't help but notice that you couldn't help but mention dicks over and over in your post why is that? You wanted people to kiss your stonned, little soccer kids being neutered, sniffing jockstraps, and again little soccer kids growing sausages. You are clearly obsessed with the cock which is ok but I take it the reason you have so much hate for this thread isn't because these proven cappers have got off to a slow start, but in actuality you are frustrated about not coming out of the closet yet.

I’m relatively new to covers.com and the forums. This contest / thread is interesting, to say the least. I myself would never pay for picks. Having said that, I would love a job where I could be wrong as much as those that sell picks are (Dear covers.com executives – are you looking for another mediocre capper to join your illustrious team? If so please add me as a friend and we can get down to contract negotiations).

Prez - word to the wise - anyone that goes on about another mans potentially small penis usually has something to hide, that being his own small unit. 

Okay, on a serious note – I have a contest of my own that I’d like to announce (cue the music please).

Introducing the first ever Name the Guy in that Avatar Contest (and no, it’s not anyone from the Covers staff and their old lady). The first correct answer will win my Play of the Day. Good luck everyone. Let the guessing begin.

Best of luck to both picks and to anyone else on them. I will probably be on Gonzaga -4 as well as it's my 2nd favorite play on todays card behind UCLA -1.5.

everyone needs to stop posting their f'in picks here....this is not the friggin place for it....go do it somewhere else...no body gives a F about ur picks on this thread....
this thread is strictly to bash these losers
Ted should talk the most, because The Prez, with his dumb A-s voice is annoying

Settle down there Grinder. Last time I checked this thread was not about bashing anyone. If you don't like the show don't listen. Seems simple enough to me.

Okay, a few hints may be in order. The gentleman in my avatar was a famous literary figure with a penchant for betting on the horses, cheap wine and easy women.

Where's my free pick styro? lol

the man in styro's av is none other than the illustrious degenerate charles bukowski. now wheres my bottle of cheap wine damnit?

Prez,

Whoever lost on the first 6 plays of this bet should just be thankful they are not subscribing to both of these guys - who are each maybe 20% on their last ten to fifteen picks.  Having said that, as was mentioned earlier in this thread, the BEST time to ride these "pros" is AFTER a long losing streak, and certainly NOT in the middle (a.k.a. the "end") of one.  I will be surprised if they don't snap out of this fast and make a profit of some sort in the next few days but buyer beware.

GL to both of you in turnaround mode.

BTW I concur with the stated opinion that "Teddy Covers'" 52% last year is not an acceptable record for a pro handicapper over a full cycle...much less one whose clients paid $4800 for that break even year.

Clarification: worst time to bet these guys is at the end of a long WIN streak ie. around the time they are being touted for their incredible streak - that just means you missed it lol...

you ARE charles bukowski..........  and deserve the wine. Pay up Styro.

  

you guys dont need to pay for picks......use google, u can find paid picks all over the net  of about any capper u want

well done landpanda my good man(though my hints all but give it away). as promised, my free play of the day is dallas +3.5 (i, like the mad poet drunkard himself, love the underdog).

may your winnings buy you a bottle of your favourite wine.

ah yeah, i meant my hints all but gave it away. i'm already into my second bottle of cheap wine and sometimes that results in less then stellar spelling.

im already on them as well as the ml. bol

then hopefully we'll both be drinking cheap wine with our winning.

this likely isn't the place for this but it somehow seems fitting as i sit here cracking my third bottle of wine.


gamblers all
     
sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think,
I'm not going to make it, but you laugh inside
remembering all the times you've felt that way, and
you walk to the bathroom, do your toilet, see that face
in the mirror, oh my oh my oh my, but you comb your hair anyway,
get into your street clothes, feed the cats, fetch the
newspaper of horror, place it on the coffee table, kiss your
wife goodbye, and then you are backing the car out into life itself,
like millions of others you enter the arena once more.

you are on the freeway threading through traffic now,
moving both towards something and towards nothing at all as you punch
the radio on and get Mozart, which is something, and you will somehow
get through the slow days and the busy days and the dull
days and the hateful days and the rare days, all both so delightful
and so disappointing because
we are all so alike and so different.

you find the turn-off, drive through the most dangerous
part of town, feel momentarily wonderful as Mozart works
his way into your brain and slides down along your bones and
out through your shoes.

it's been a tough fight worth fighting
as we all drive along
betting on another day.

Charles Bukowski
