Week 1 picks with analysis........................................ba goes pro

I never posted on here before. Why would you pay for picks if the guy is going to disappear. This is going to end very very bad.

All we asked for is BA's won loss record.  Since he is selling picks, that doesn't seem like an unreasonable

request to make.  

UPS Driver is the only one to post any won loss record from BA.

How about it BA?  Where is that  won loss record ?  Ain't nobody gonna buy nothing from ya if ya don't post the W/L

BA - this is your potential customer base...everyone knows that you have provided solid free guidance and resource links over the years, but if they are going to pay you for picks, you should answer this request...it does not matter if UPS is a former poster  incognito/troll with a new login...it does not matter if you had a bad run...this is your opportunity to sell to your market, and shelve that grouchy old man persona and be a professional, if you are serious about this endeavor.    Otherwise, you will be perceived as just another tout, channeling action junkies to your paid site, AKA no cred with serious cappers...You don't want to do that, do you?   LHH

It is his choice..... Do not like it then do not come into his thread. It is very simple. 

FYI ...... My good friend bookieassassin knows exactly what he is doing ..... and he will be very successful at it, as he is a winner. Furthermore, he will respond when he sees fit that much I do know about my friend. He certainly is seasoned enough to not have to take advice from others. 

50% at best. He even disappeared for a couple of weeks. He will not win the first week.

Post #19 from bookieassassin: 

UPS -----  a valid concern off weak 2018 effort.....finished 138-126 / probably my 2nd worst season (with 2007)....and that's with essentially giving up on my 'one unit' plays say week 7-8....but still posting picks to FADE intentionally ha / only play my 'smallers' from here on out (still kept record)

             $ so 18 years total of posting (11 here)....my worst 2 at 52% each...lifetime 56% at 4000+ picks....last 7 years 778-537

 $ took time off work week 13 to avoid losing $$.....finished 54-22.....hitting 77% of one unit+  picks.....30-9  ** never below 52% / never quit like many others....

Also note in post #19 that BA responds to me that the last two years he's

1/2 azzed it (really) the last 2 years.....don't enjoy mediocrity 

He acknowledges this. ...... what else do ya want??

In this new thread he says: 

and of course don't expect many / if any here to buy picks

Also adds: 

Buying picks ain't for everybody..........

He takes the time to explain the whole thing.  Says he'll still be around some to hang out on the forum.  That's a good thing gents.  For some reason most m0therfckers on here fail to realize that BA actually tries to teach the forum to be a better handicapper on their own.  That's a selfless thing that takes time.  .....can take a lot of time.  I'll speak for myself, I don't have the time to help and explain my thoughts on plays in much detail.  It's the teach a man to fish parable.  BA tries to teach you to fend for yourself in handicapping college football.  By contrast, guys like me throw up some picks and let their record speak for itself.  Most don't even notice.  This forum should be thankful that BA has provided so much information and teaching over the years.  And again this year on the forum.  And he's also picked to represent Covers Legends for CFB - good for him!  He's acknowledged it's not for everyone.  If it's not your thing, then don't buy it.  Simple.  Worried about his record, go find it like I did tonight (knew I had seen this discussed somewhere..... didn't take much effort to find it).  BA will be back soon.  I am certain he's cramming like the rest of us to get ready for the season.

So let's try to pick up the effort and awareness around here. ..... I'm losing confidence that some of you could cap your way out of a paper bag.  

Thanks TD - you could not have expressed it better, as your post is perfection at its best. 

See ya at the pay window! 

BA - I trust that you will be honest this forum going forward.   You have both backers and detractors on this string...   But, for every one that's posts, I bet there are 200+ that never post that are watching...The only thing that matters should be for you to consistently pick winners.    That will cure all questions and concerns that have been addressed in this string...Again, good luck in the new endeavor...

Really - Big Daddy...whatever, man...

Good luck this season.  Congrats on the gig.  

Post your plays for 2 weeks. If it is at 60% or above I am in. Why do people get made at the person that is calling out the guy that is going TOUT. 

They come no better than you my friend, great humor, sarcasm and a handicapping skill and knowledge that most dream about having but will never come close to reaching, which includes others from the great State Of Texas. You have to find someone who will work on giving out sensitive training though, as I know that is not your forte! 

See ya at the pay window very soon! 

BA, I will put my top 7 plays against yours for any thing you name it. I will go 5-2 or better.

1. wake forest.

2. South Florida

3. Tenn.

4. New mexico st.

5. Mich. st.

6. Smu

7. Lousviile

Thank you for your kind words, but show me where to this point he has taken money from anyone???
