  • I had it at Over 9.5 and thus a loss. At Pinnacle, you can buy the Over/Under up or down in half run increments but if the play is given at "9.5", I take it with the money line attributed to that total.
  • Hmmmm......don't see Texas in the rotation.
  • I began using your selections on 7/22/04 at +$6,253. Today, you are at +$3,971. Today, I have stopped using your selections. You will now see a reversal of fortune.
  • after Boston got shellacked by the A's? ....you must have meant the Mariners.
  • On January 1, 2004, I read the results of the last three years of AAA Sports Heavy Hitters Program which reported +66.4 Units for 2001, +64.5 Units for 2002, and 68.9 Units in 2003. I had read past posts by doubtng Thomases at BettingTalk.com that …

  • Little David was in his 4th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up-fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, etc. David was being uncharacteristically quiet, so the …
  • opportunity was there to make mucho money if you just followed my hot streaks and laid off my cold ones [Tell me when it's time to follow.]
  • Tell me when you are in, or going into, a hot streak or are in, or going into, a cold streak so I can pound or refrain from playing your selections accordingly. I jumped all over your selections after the All-Star break and hit a bad streak. So am…
  • I'm not trying to pick a fight. BJ is one of the few here I respect for honesty and integrity. I do, however, disagree with BJ's comments on timing plays or playing streaks and any retrospective analysis of 1,000 plays (500-500 or otherwise) woul…
  • "Remember, always bet WITH a streak NOT against a streak" How does the above advice square with your statement on Sunday as follows: "Be careful today as I had a phenomenal NFL run last Sunday and the Gambling Gods are always hesita…
  • The Portland State play is currently "offline". Do you know why?
  • Sacramento may cover the 12 pts. against Golden State but they have shown a disturbing pattern of not showing up for the first half of games that start at 6 p.m. PST. It was understandable when Divac was with the team---as Vlade slept in on day ga…
  • Is your Phoenix play made on the assumption that Nash won't start due to thigh injury? Nash has made PHX a different team.
  • Actually, I did go back through the start of the year and there were 33 BPs: only 4 games would have won with buying two points (Dallas, Wisconsin, Syracuse and Chicago) and 3 games would have pushed (Washington, Cleveland, Utah State). But the co…
  • -41.55 units so far in 2005. -7.65 in College BB -11.60 in NBA -16.15 in NFL -6.15 in College FB
  • When I started tracking on 1/1/05, the starting record was 0-0-0 and the units won and lost were 0. I chose BJ because I had read on a few occasions that, year in and year out, a $100 bettor would be up something like $10,000 (or 100 units) at the …
  • Purpose: To inform anybody who might be interested. I'll be posting monthly results for the next 11 months regardless of positive or negative results. I, for one, would like seeing results of all posters here. Next month someone else will probab…
  • I counted this as a win (KY -7.5 for second half) along with St. John's, making a 2-2-0 day.
  • Suck lately? How bout since the start of the year....down over 82 units.
  • Yep, football, I do. I periodically go back and check my spreadsheets and correct them each month. Sometimes a win ends up in the loss column and a loss ends up in the win column so I'll check all NFL plays and see if I can come up with another w…
  • You're right, football, the size of the wager will affect profitability. Profitability will also be affected by such other factors as whether one buys a handicapper's plays on a daily, monthly or seasonal basis. The skeptical side of me always feel…
  • Re: buying points, my stats show what they show since the start of the year and I have not reached any conclusion. I think long-term trial results are necesssary. But the 1 in 5 theory is correct. Suppose you play five plays and buy 2 pts. at -15…
  • Pats, I think you'll find that once you pay for a subscription that loses, that capper will usually keep you on the mailing list gratis---at least for some period of time. I have kept such detailed records, and shared them with cappers, that most w…
  • No idea Goose. I can't follow everyone.
  • Good question. Several years ago I began to research paid handicappers with the aim of determining whether any of them could not only be profitable---but profitable enough to cover the costs of their subscription. I intended to publish a book inco…
  • Aces, if you check, you'll find that Week 17 of the NFL season occurred on 1/2/05. Those were not playoffs games. On 1/2, BJ21 gave out 7 regular NFL plays. They all lost. The results shown under NFL involve all NFL plays (regular and playoff).
  • What are the 12 that you say are made up, BJ21? Each and every listed play is derived from your posts placed on this board. And anyone can verify each and every play listed by simply clicking on your name at the top of each post and scroll down to…
  • Here are all the plays socred on a buy 2 pt. basis. Which one is wrong BJ21? March 31 2005 ST. JOSEPH'S 0 57 SO. CAROLINA 60 -3 -1.5 -150 March 31 2005 MIAMI-VJP -5.5 108 INDIANAPOLIS 114 -11.5 -1.5 -150 March 31 2005 LA LAKERS 3 96 MINNESOTA 105 …
  • Wrong again, BJ21. I didn't come "out of nowhere in November". Why don't you look up my post of August 27, 2004, which I just copied from archives as follows: Author: sactojlm Member since: 01/19/2004 59 posts on 08/27/2004 at 10:37 AM…
  • No, Corvette, I get that distinction. For those that do count, and those that don't, here are the details since Day 1---1/1/05--- in reverse chronological order: April 1 2005 TORONTO -1.5 119 CHARLOTTE 107 10.5 1 100 April 1 2005 CLEVELAND -2 109…
