When you all realize this you will be better men. There are very very few real wiseguys on forum boards, they are too busy looking for angles and not fighting with JJGold or any other square poster for that matter. I bet we have 3 real wise guys here tops. I love when posters say square money is on such and such a side like they are a wise guy and in reality they are squares too. There is nothing wrong with us squares but that is what any posting forum is really made up of. We have tons of guys that think they are sharp but in reality they are squares. This is basically a wake up call and reality post to the posters to make sure you do not fool yourselves thinking your sharp.

LOL. Do we get extra credit if we already know we are squares?

I'm especially fond of these <squares>

The poor, deluded fools. Out thinking they're sharp, when they're just squares dumb enough to make me money for free. Lucky for me they aren't <wiseguys> or I'd be SOL. They'd be charging for their picks, like such sharps as Jim Feist and Mario Petriano.

I'd think the number would be 9,700 squares.

3% of the that 10,000 number win.

You should apoligize to the other 299.

Nice Phaedrus, you summed it up with that response. Here's my analogy.....Most of us in here are very knowledgeable when it comes to sports, even if we only specialize in one or two, and many of us are just as good, or better, than those supposedly "sharps" or "wise~guys". Just because someone works their Azz off studying history and trends for countless hours, tries to beat books to a line, etc. doesnt mean they are "sharper" than anyone else!.....

Of course, homework helps a lot, but in the end, either you know the sport.......or you dont!.......

What is your ROI? Return on investment for every dollar bet. If its positive through the years, you are a sharp. If it is negative, then you are the dreaded square.

I'd guess that they are MFG, Shack and Glife.

A few guys from the above have won plenty of units,so IF you have followed them blindly,you ll probably end up winning some cash,probably not big cash,unless you are a 10K bettor;but most of them,are up by 0-5 units,which means that the possibility of a red-situation is not very far.

for the benefit of a newbie, could someone explain the columns in Phaedrus' table.

I assumed that the first two were handicapper name and win/loss, but the next two different 'units' columns lost me. Are they flat bet results vs. variable betting or ???

Just because you are a plus for betting does not mean your a wise guy, tons of squares can have good years.

McIrish is a great capper but a square.

Shrink is a wise guy

Well, let me put that in context then:

BLACKLAB____444-468___+36.39 UNITS_____+6.26units
JAKE THOMPSON__178-160__+32.85 UNITS__+31.12units
THEERODFATHER___114-86__+16.5 UNITS___+71.95units
2HEADMONSTER__229-184___+12.42 UNITS__+33.72units
KODIAK____504-425____+9.34 UNITS_____+176.46units
RX-MANIAC____97-83_____+5.71 UNITS_____+8.97units
MCIRISH_____20-14_____+3.82 UNITS______+3.82units
DOGBALL____201-174____+3.68 UNITS______+4.95units
MASTERTX______13-10____+3.47 UNITS_____+3.47units
REX FOSTER____72-76____+2.97 UNITS____+11.16units
MASTER L______7-7_______+0.75 UNITS_____+7.5units
MADCAPPER____185-183___+0.12 UNITS____+31.23units
LOCKLINE______3-4______-1.4 UNITS_______-1.4units
OMAHAMONEY____46-42____-1.6 UNITS_______-1.6units
SHAWNGOTTI_____65-51____-2.2 UNITS____-19.15units
ELITE ONE _____3-8_____-5.49 UNITS_____-5.49units
RPM_______41-41_______-6.39 UNITS______-5.81units
BUCSFAN67____385-363____-8.05 UNITS____-1.19units
SSI______126-163____-18.85 UNITS_______-17.8units
TRYING2WIN___197-208___-25.15 UNITS___-29.51units
KBMNM247____68-88_____-26.8 UNITS_____-39.42units
MFG_____144-177____-60.31 UNITS______-878.79units

If I am not mistaken, that is 12/22 in the money, which is a far cry from 1/10,000 ... and yes, a few are "dangerously close" to being in the negative, but a few are also "dangerously close" to being in the positive.

Last year Dog made a documented gain of over 300 units. Like a fool I didn't start tailing him until it was too late, and I only picked up about 10k off of him in the second half.

In the 01-02 NBA season I did real, real well off of Northern Ice. Roughly $ 3,500.00 well.

1 out of 10,000? I can't possibly be lucky enough to successfully pick two different handicappers out of a field of 20,000 to coat-tail on and make some money. All I"m saying is, the suggested number is bullshit, like most of everything else JJGold posts.

If you fade MFG you'll be a rich man. I don't care if you call it being a wise guy, being sharp or just finding the golden goose.

fading any every day capper in the longrun is the way to play. I love guys that bet 15 games a day.

Lab might be the only guy that can bet tons of games and hold his own. Lab is solid all around.
