3)good luck winning 52 percent of your picks....take the -110 line with that and you actually have lost money
4)your quote: "pretty prideful for a person whos losing"....it's when you are losing, that you really need your pride.....which if you want to go 52 percent wise, like an idiot...then he is easily winning....and he will be up at the end of this month anyway....
5) your quote:" I don't live or die by the positives of one day or one week."  Yeah neither does he, thats part of what he preaches, if you read through the thread, you would have already known that
6)your quantity over quality statement literally makes zero sense.  If you took no quality in that, then you would basically just be choosing random teams, with a 10 percent decline to start with.....
7) Then you actually say well quality picks can suck on any given day.  Besides that just being an idiotic statement, you basically just answered the question of why not to bet quantity???  Your saying quality can suck sometimes, but then betting as many times as you can with "the quality picks that can suck on any given day" would be better????....that way you could turn a bad day, into a terrible day....oh ok that makes sense....
8) This being the biggest thing, the first thing that is obvious about you, is that you only care about yourself.  So, why is it, that you constantly are like trying to defend the fact, that we his "minions" shouldn't follow his picks.  Get a clue buddy, nobody cares about your advice, we all make are own decisions.....and not everybody is here just for picks, but if they were, that would be there decision.  Either way though, we are all on here for something.....heres the question you should ask yourself??  If i don't like his advice or his picks....then why am i on here???

I just pictured myself how mad POP gets when he "has" to lose the games. Last season he simply could not stand it and won and covered like crazy

My today’s play is:

GSW-DEN UNDER 104,5 1H

Both teams are scoring less points than their 1H PPG season avg recently.

+ Denver – Shooting % (Effective FG%, 2 point %, 3 point % etc.) decreased in last games.

Line movement (or I should say lack of movement) with big public support for over also suggest UNDER in the game.

My record: 3-1

BOL to ALL

I did not notice you losing the game. You talked about the under in LA but did not actually posted the play - did you?  GL today. I agree

You are destroying not yourself but your minions.  It's always easier when you cap games by yourself.  It's all about producing when it matters.  Being "clutch" as athletes would say.  I don't follow anyone but myself because ultimately it's your money.  I play as many games as possible on any given day (I played 70 college games yesterday).  I'm all about quantity and not quality.  Because quality can suck on any given day as well.  You max out at 70 games per week.  I try to do that in a day.  With 5% a unit, you're destined to fail.  You can take my advice for a grain of salt, or be stubborn and find out the hard way.  Time is money... not the other way around.  Good luck to you bro... it's not about being hot or cold.  It's all about volume and hitting 52%+ in the long run.

Good day.

Can you please explain your methodology in more detail?
Well, as far as i can see with my limited knowledge, with u play 70 games a day, lets say u dont lose, but its a push at 35-35. With -110, Its 3500-3850 (You lose 350).
But if lets say on the same day u only pick the best game, let's say 2-2, its 200-220 (You lose 20). Well yeah, you can win 7000 in a day of course... if you actually believe that
Am not saying you are wrong, i just want to know your thought on this, as am trying not to have only one angle.

Good call on 1H- if the Nets keep up the horrible scoring it may hit under for the game too-

last saturday favorites were 7-3 in covering,the saturday previous they were 6-4 in covering with a push also,and saturday prior to that they were 6-2 with a push.i dont hav the data necessary to prove but isnt saturday traditionally a day for favorites by and large??
makes sense given that that is wen games are heavily publicised more/over-hyped and people all juice out and watch and talk about it more than maybe on weekdays???which,im guessing,wud cater to the giant egos of the more well regarded players on more famous teams and cause them 2 play with more focus/energy,playing harder....oh,one more..saturday prior to those mentioned was 5-5,even split

id say its simply the john wall factor,melosjumper.....i think orlando will continue to b slept on 4 the duration of the season being that they just hav a bunch of over-looked,under-hyped,unfashionable players...and will probably continue to pile up a bunch of covers...they lose a lot,but also cover a hell of a lot in past weeks
