Started tailing Mavin about a week ago.  Now I have lost 50% of my bankroll and tonight is not looking any better.  I am new to this, so is this a cold streak or should I start fading the picks?  Thanks.

Overall is more than ok. Posted plays on Covers  - mediocre. Too much managing and less studying I guess - NBA   36-31-1     +70 $  (26-15 ATS    10-16 Totals)

I am sorry to hear that. Do neither - nor tail me nor fade me - simply read the thread and you'll know what to do. This thread is not and has never been about anyone's particular picks. This thread is about developing your own handicapping skills

M10,

When i looked it said he was probable on covers page and day to day on other sites. sorry if misleading but looks like rudy is a little more missed than chris right now so hopefully i'm lucky. Adding my leans to plays since the heat are 0-6 ATS against above .500 teams on the road and that trend will be broken tonight and also going over on cle/sac 206 bc neither team plays great D.

Final: Heat -3

Final: over 206 cle/sac

 

current games in progress: Bulls -4.5, Mavs -7, and Clipps +4.5

gotta say Mavin I am impressed with the Wizards...not hopping on anything yet...but 2 big wins against okc and atlanta...and then beating a full orlando squad....not many teams have blown out the magic...infact in the last 25 games they have only been blown out once by toronto really....

I feel like I'm talking to the smartest kid in a classroom filled with down-syndrome.  There's 100+ college games on a Saturdays not everyday you ignorant retarded f'ker.  On weekdays besides Thursday there's only a handful of games on any given night.  Yeah, Carolina under-achieved this year... what's your point?  I'm a fan of Cam Newton but I don't call myself Cam'sRunningAbility.  Don't get all bent out of shape because I put more time and energy into my craft than you do.  You're all about picking a few games a day daily (quality) but I don't go off saying how stupid and retarded you are.  I play outside the box... 2 years ago, I was exactly like you... obnoxious and all.  Thinking there's only 1 way to successfully earn money... 

My idol is Billy Walters.  Once you understand his philosophy and making MONEY... betting 70 games on a Saturday isn't out of the norm.  Enjoy playing your 2-3 games a day and see how much time you waste.  I haven't gone broke with all that volume, so I must be doing something right....right?

Hey melosjumper7,

The reason behind the WAS pick is because ORL just came out of a big win against the clippers, and looking at their ATS lines they won the last 3 games..

We don't know if your doing something right bc a lot of ppl are all talk and you apparently over react to what anyone says so enjoy whichever way you want to proceed.

seriously, where are your picks then.....all you do is talk....and about nothing important, except about how great you are....

who is obnoxious and ignorant.....if this is you now, i would hate to see you 2 years ago...and did you just say "i dont go off saying how stupid and retarded you are".....yeah you said you wanted me dead....that is much better...hahaha what a joke this guy is.....I don't even think you pick games....I think you just like to talk....go talk to a wall, it does you just as good....something tells me instead of picking games, you spent 2 hours writing a bunch of ill will to everyone.....it's gonna be ok vision23x, whatever that means....just post your picks, i think we got your method....you blindly pick 70 games or whatever....yet somehow you study for each one, is that somewhere inbetween you complaining, talking about how great you are, staring at yourself in the mirror, and writing ill will to people, you somehow find the way to study for all 70 a day...

just start your own thread, and yell at everyone who comes into it....you will learn the correct way to deal with people at some point in your life, I'm never going to respond to one more thing you say....so go ahead and get the last word, something tells me you will have to justify something that was said here....

Why post?  All the degenerate gamblers here are looking for the quick score.  The miraculous capper who will get 100% of their picks right.  I just can't stand people who are like MELO who think they know everything there is to know about sports betting.  I just like to put people like MELO in their place and make it a humbling experience.  I mean what kind of good guy showboats and tells the world he's up 160+ units when the board is losing money?  I mean seriously... what kind of BS is that?  I encourage people to manage their bankroll better (especially when times are tough) and not exceed 2% on a single game and I get crapped on.  When you're losing, I encourage to drop the 5% of your bankroll on any single game and I get my assshole ripped apart.  So with that theory, I should just tell people to put their whole bankroll on a single game so I can get a standing ovation, right?

You just assume I blindly pick games.  I bet I put more time into capping NBA than you do... and you're only a one-trick pony.  I do power polls for all the sports I wager in.  Evaluate line movements, injury reports, and so forth.  

BTW: Carmelo is cancer... he will never make his teammates any better nor will he ever win a championship.  It's perfect that he's your favorite player considering how selfish he is.  How you like them apples?

I will definitely update the tally on those theories  every now and then. My bookie only plays ATS games so covering every game is a must for me to bank in goodies. 

RLM (4-3)
TTG (4-1)
FFT (5-0)

Again, no single theory is absolute. These will only help us in making wiser decisions. GOODLUCK TO ALL!
