Integrity of the NBA Poll

London, I often compare sports betting to the stock market. When market pricing becomes inflated it goes through its market corrections. Sports betting is similar. I'm very satisfied with 55%. I'll make a nice sum of money. Anything over 55% is gravy. With sportbooks such as Pinny offering -105 or -107 there's a ton a money to be made.

That's why I always say recognize the streaks. Good cappers will always fall back or up to 55%-58%. If a good capper is hitting 70% then they become a good fade. That's not a reflection on their capping ability. The opposite also is true. If a good capper is struggling eventually they'll go on a run.

This season started very slow for me. Below 50%. In the last month I've been at 63% bringing me to 55.5% on the season.

I think it is hilarious to hear people say "no way it happens...why would so-and-so do something like that when they already are making millions?"...uh...think Enron...think martha stewart...and the list goes on and on and on...where there is money, there is corruption...as Gordon Gecco was asked in Wall Street, "How many yachts is enough"?

I don't agree with your Enron analogy. Board meeting aren't broadcast on TV viewed by millions of fans. I think it's much more probably getting caught fixing a game than cooking the books.

I also disagree...but love the movie Wall Street...Anyway, I think the big difference and an often overlooked fact when comparing business tycoons with sports tycoons lies in their expenditures and risks. Businesses are not guaranteed their money and although they are making millions they are also paying millions and relying on others to help continue making money.
