Do you feel there's at least a 50% chance you personally can hit 60% or better over 100 games?

Let's assume you have an entire calendar year (1 full season of every sport). With this set-up you can be <i>very</i> selective.
Plays would be against standard -110 lines.

I can hit 60% in a year on 50 plays but not 100.

You listen to cowherd?

Sure for one season. Over 10 years or so highly unlikey.

I hit over 60% in CFB last year, but this year have gotten smoked.....probably 45-48% range.

Nah, I'm more of a reader than a listener...it's a lot faster and I can be more selective about what junk I absorb

I was asking you that because that is exactly what he is talking about right now on his radio show.

He is making bets with his listeners that they cant hit 60% over a season.
Most of the callers think they can do it.

I made this same bet a few years back with my nongambling buddy. He obviously thought he could do it easily. Stipulation was he had to pick 4 NFL games each weekend. He hit 52% at years end.

TTinco hit over 60% to win the pick 4 contest at 68 picks but obviously against stale lines.

To answer your questions. Yes EASILY over 100 game stretches anyone can including my mother but over the next 100 games most likely not. Over 1,000 plays not a snowballs chance in he--.

Over a 10,000 bet sequence I guarantee you that a 54% bettor has hit 60% over 100 game spans. I know I have done it myself but eventually you will revert back to the norm of 54% and may hit only 48% the next 100. The problem is doing it the next 100 picks is almost no chance. You never when it is coming.

You would need odds to attempt it. Kind of like the WVU challenge. It can be done, but it is not likely for even the best capper in his best sport.

Over the course of 100 plays, anything can happen... and especially if you include the niche sports, yes, hitting 60% against a generic -110 line is doable over 100 plays, but it won't be the mean, that's for sure. Anything over 54% is outstanding.

yes as long as you give me the 1st chance to bet you

fair enough?

I would need to be allowed to bet baseball -110 or less.

can you give me an idea of what you might be willing to risk on this?

Exactly !

It can be done with help, like free half-points, stale lines,or SIA lines with low limits.

With a line you can actually bet at the time ( even an SIA line), I'd bet any taker they fail if the bet was at +100.

If you limited it to CRIS lines only, I'd offer you +200, and have the best of it.

Give me 20-1 against CRIS lines and a year to make 100 plays, then I think I'm getting value.

Time to repost the old Fezzik 60% article again.
