    His data is probably fine. His record keeping is not.

    The main stream gambling information is great. Look who's being used in this article: Bill Simmons, Pregame.com and ESPN

    It's ridiculous on so many levels for people to publish crap like this using the above mentioned sources.

    The WSJ's gambling content is as bad as any other crappy mainstream source. Can't remember if they've quoted RJ Bell, Philly Godfather, or both, but they've quoted as least one of those clowns as a gambling expert or pro bettor.

    Jake's old pal Krackman has quoted this Warren Sharp joker in a few mainstream sources that I've seen recently. How hard is it to figure out he's dishonest when he's advertising a 59% overall record over 1572 picks in three different clubs on his tout site? That record is allegedly over 8 football seasons, so only 4272 sides and totals to choose from. He's picking 37% of the available sides and totals and still picking 59%???

    Krackman he's still around. Last time I saw him was at the M. Most likely still shooting dice and taking up a side of the table. Has to be the same guy from Chicago right. Last I seen him he was hanging with a real nice guy FF haven't seen him in years. Real stand up guy.:rolleyes::laughing:

    Warren and Krackman are pretty close. During the NFL warren had Krack on his weekly podcast.

    It's a shame whoever said this doesn't get credit.
