Handcapping Questions of the Day

[dogpick]

Savage:

Then you must have lost a bundle tonight on the Pistons because it must have been close to a lock if BOTH the Manager and Brian Mac said it would win considering the sparkling records they both have.

Another question: If they are so great, how come you don't subscribe to their service. If following their picks for a year would make a person money, how come you don't do it?

I can hardly wait to here who they have on their comp lines for tomorrow. Please let me know as soon as you find out. I am also looking for Chuck Luck if you can get him.

Actually I played Detroit as a one star only because so many cappers were on them-usually a bad sign.
I rarely call any paid service because as stated I fully believe ezwinners, Memphis and a few others are every bit as good as any cappers over time including Brian Mac;that is not to knock the few good paid cappers, nut why should I pay when I get the picks for nothing from those like EZ and Memphis as well as many times getting the big plays from the paid cappers who I regard as best.
I don't follow any paid cappe religiously, but as stated was wary of the Pistons simply because the preponderance of public and cappers were on them.
Also, I am a somewhat smaller player than many, and as stated before I do this for fun-betting, monitoring cappers, criticizing and chatting ( I have been involved with this stuff for about 30 years.
The stock market is where my real serious money goes, and this is strictly a diversion.
I will say this and this partially supports your argument-unless you are a really big bettor, I think there are very few services who can actually show a profit for you if cost of service is factored in. over along period of time.
That is beauty of this site-free picks from the free postors and free ones from the paid cappers;how can you go wrong?
The challenge comes in deciding who to use and who not to use.
I probably in all honesty spend too much time with this, but since I just recently retired (in my fifties), I have plenty of free time to do this and I love reading all the posts and good discussions like this one.
I have been wrong many times before, and when someone shows me I have erred, I will admit it.

In view of the controversy which has been brewing on another thread. which was just closed, I would like to keep this question open here for at least another day ot two.

I would assume that you believe the 36-16 record of the Manager as posted on website is bogus as well as his 18-4 in last 22 in inside plays is also a lie, and that Brian Mac's comp record is also made up.

Savage, another ploy these predators use. They word their 'advertisements' deceiving the public thinking they are 18-4. What they are truly selling is a 18-4 system that a particular play falls into.

Frank, while I agree with you basically about that, I don't think it applies to Brian Mac and his cohorts. Did you read the exchanges on the now closed thread bwteen me, dogpick and goldencontender?

Savage,

No I didn't read it. What is the thread name?

Frank-its at the tailend of the Saturday's service plays(the one with 170 posts -maybe the last 2-3 pages or so).
