Hello guys,

I have just joined the forum and would like to start a thread where I will be posting previews and picks. Most of them will be about soccer and basketball, but I do like to mix it with tennis every once in a while.

Anyway, if you are interested, make sure to keep an eye out for the updates.

Are these based on a winning system or just hunches?

Is every pick weighed the same or do you have star ratings? How about a Lock of the Week Month or Year?

What is the story with the totals?

Do you accept US Credit Cards?

Thanks!

your obvious sarcasm was totally unnecessary
all the guy did was post some picks - he didn't in any way indicate he was selling anything

quite a few people here don't want to make there own picks for whatever reason and really appreciate a guy posting picks, especially if he does well

as for the totals - it's pretty obvious if he puts a plus sign (+) before the total that he's picking the over







following a guy posting picks is quite a bit less boring than the typical fare here

History makes one cynical around here with handicappers.

Betting the over and both sides of each game is always a winning strategy.

Posting pictures of bet tickets helps credibility.

Just reality.

again, pretty obvious

he didn't bet or pick both sides

he named the team he was picking under the Date/Time

nothing at all suspect about betting the over

again, unnecessary sarcasm

You said the plus beside the total means he is taking the over, not me.

What am I missing here?

this is what he posted for the Grizzlies game:

"Total: +215.5"


that means he's taking over 215.5 for that game

what's the problem?

He put the + beside ALL three totals, he took 2 favorites and a dog. Please correct me if I’m missing something. I am reading your logic as him taking both the side and total of all 3 games.

And yes history has made me suspicious of new posters who magically found this site just to share Sports picks out of the goodness of their hearts or just for “fun”.

If a mod things I’m being too harsh, I’m open to being corrected.

Neat name they picked though. Probably not at all related to this site.

actually, I looked further and there is a problem with his lines - they're stale - so Boz's cynicism was on target after all

he posted his lines at about 2 p.m. Pacific time or 5 p.m. eastern time
some of them haven't been available for a long time

according to covers.com the Grizzlies game total opened at 215.5 at 4a.m. eastern and was never again available at that number
vegasinsider.com currently shows the total at 219.5 or 220 or 220.5

the Utah game which he says is -12.5 according to vegasinsider opened at -13.5 early in the a.m. and is now at 15, 15.5 or 16

the Pacers game which he quotes at 215.5 opened at 216.5 and is now at 217 or 217.5
he also quotes that game at -6 and its now at -6.5

he has the Utah total at 215.5 and it actually opened at 216.5 and is now at 216.5 or 217

the Grizzlies opened early in the a.m. at +11.5 and are now at +9.5 or +10

his post is really shaky, shady and dubious


Boz was right but for the wrong reasons

We have no idea what sides they took on the other 20 sites they may have posted picks on.

There are people on this forum that I would follow and bet their picks, unfortunately, they keep their picks to themselves and actually bet them.

Even with gaffed lines, they went 3-3. 2-4 using Roosters actual lines. I look forward to their next post.

Odds on that happening?
