Fade my picks

[LLXC]

I'll admit it - I'm a losing sports bettor when I play the picks I want to play. That's why I have stopped putting $ into my personal picks. I believe my picks are about 40%, so if you fade them, you would be at 60%. "My picks" consists of no research whatsoever. They are just the average joe picks, and that's why they're losers. I want to see how well people do by fading my picks (and how poorly I do). Remember, I no longer play these picks but I pick them for fun.

who in their right minds is going to wager on 17 basketball games in one night?

I probably use to =\ This is really for fun, and a real way for me to keep track of how bad I would do. If this dumb post is annoying to many, I'll stop.

Not that I'm in my right mind, but I have bet many more than that on a Saturday in college hoops.

Seventeen is probably the whole card. You should get yourself checked out when you start betting a whole Saturday card in college hoops. What's that, about 75 games? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

yeah i didnt even look at the picks but if youre having bad success i think your # of picks is an obvious problem.

the funny thing is if you do this for long enough you will find both sides are losers.

To each their own, but in the many years I've been at this, I've never met a long-term winning bettor who has followed that protocol... I guess that's what I was getting at - I should have been more clear with my initial statement.
