that's kinda the point I wanted to make but I do not express myself as well as you do, I mean it's okay if the guy starts his thread  giving picks and all that, but all the ass licking started to annoy me, anyone can have a 5-0 streak any day, and then he comes up with a book of how to hit 70% and shit, attemping to look humble just to hide his enormous ego.. and when i tried to actually get in a decent discussion about the subject people would just call me a hater, a jackass, a bitch, blahblah.

And as for his self-promoting thing I couldn't agree more, his plan was probably to become famous and get a few customer after that, you did an excellent job ilprato and thumbs up to you for not being a part of his game.. which I must admit... was atleast fun while it lasted. There's people on these forums that just blindly tails the cappers around here without doing any research,  you did what you have to do.

This contest is dumb.  This is so small of a sample size that its irrelevant.  Its about long term (life-time) betting.  Anyone and everyone can and will have short term success and losses.  This game is about being successful from year to year and when you go 3-7 to minimize losses to ride out the cold streak to take full advantage when your hot.  This is only my second year doing this but because of some of these people on here I have learned a ton.  Most importantly Money Management is the number one tool to being succesful and where is the contest for that??  Picks are what your comparing???  Common my 2 year old can make 30 picks and be more succesful than you guys.  Point is from what I see both oh you seem to know how to make picks, but who is more successful is the reality of who is a better Capper.

 true...sample size is small.... but it is what it is....using EPQ (varying units played) on games can make a 65% capper a loser in $ and a 45% a winner in $.....but we are going 30 games is a fairly short time frame, and it is what it is....BoL 2 U

Sorry for the negativity but I have a responsibility to let people know the truth as this thread has over 40,000 hits.


SLOW YOUR ROLL SON...... first off,...sorry about that accounting, but it is the first mistake I have made........SECONDLY...ALL THE CONTEST PLAYS ARE ADDED ALREADY, AND YOU ARE NOW ATTEMPTING TO DOUBLE MY LOSSES BY RE-ADDING MY LOSING PLAYS............. THIRDLY, I COULD GIVE A FLYING FUCK IF YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT, BUT I AM NOT A LOWLY 56% CAPPER---BUT THE VERIFIED PLAYS ARE WHAT THEY ARE IN MY THREAD........... BUT 56% IS STILL PROFITABLE AFTER A HORRIBLE 40 PLAY RUN....... SO IF YOU ARE PLAYING LOIS LANE...GET YOU FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU CALL SOMEONE OUT

Hey ILPRATO!!....Want to congratulate you on your picks thus far and mostly your 'common sense' approach....I've been wagering and taking action for over 3 decades....I have seen extreme 'hot streaks,' and I've seen some 'horrific' cold streaks too, including a guy who selected 22 losers in a row....In gambling, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, but in the long, long run, NOBODY can consistently pick over 60-62%....Been at it too long to know otherwise....Hope you keep posting your picks and finish your end of the 'contest!'....My best and Happy Holidays!!

To All:
ILPROTO had successully put his foot in his mouth in attempting to add my losses to my overall record (already added:  we each placed one play in the previous thread, and played 9 plays apiece in this thread...hence my total added to overall is 3-6--the first loss of the contest already added when starting this thread)....... do yourself a favor on blind faith........ follow my next 20....as in my last 112 plays, you will not lose money (even after an ice cold run).... he can't / won't keep up.........believe that... he has 10 documented plays and I have 112..........

correct..I will recolor it, but all plays have been counted correctly.... since the beginning of this thread there were 9 plays posted for a record of 3-6....that has been correctly added to both the overall and the contest thread accounting

How about this for a challenge...who can ONLY post picks for the most consecutive days and cut out all the back and forth childish garbage - DO NOT even respond to the haters.  I've been following KS since his Thanksgiving weekend challenge, but this thread is almost unbearable now with all the garbage it's filled with.  Just stick to what you do best - PICKING WINNERS and forget about the rest.

Hence, I did not add the 2 non-contest plays.....my assistant is accounting and adding all Orange plays, but I simply copied pasted... I will have him follow the Green plays (2) as well...but all contest plays were already added into totals.....

KS-1st of all it is ILPRATO, not iproto-lprato, or whatever you're typing, intentionally or not.  People get hot, cold, etc. but what I think is happening is you are getting too critical on his posts and overreacting (which is what I think he is trying to get out of you).  Ignore the comments make your plays (which at 75% from here til the end probably won't win, assuming he goes even 50% he will win by a game.)  From your past record I know you can do it, but with the added grief (I think) you're giving yourself, I am not so sure you can come back.  If you are going to tell me to beat it, efoff or waste more typing time with me or anyone else, then I think I know the outcome.  GL to all...even that creepy Loch Ness monster chick, who is now 3-1 posted, isn't she?  But that is the point of this original poster (analysis, entertainment, pride and possibly some prosperity, for most people anyway.) Isn't it?  If not, I too am probably wrong and need a T/O.

 agreed.... but when this moron 'calls me out as a fraud' (using that word for the fifth time...enough is enough.....)... I am done with him... but I see and understand your point here

 I am 3-12 over my last 15 plays (last 7 days), and lost 23 units in that time frame, but 8 days ago I made 18 units, so basically I am down 5 units following the coldest run I have had in 2.5+ yrs... I will take that with no worries.

fade or follow; your choice, but I progressively lower my unit play on 'coolers' but by the end of tonight's game I will have won or lost (lol..it is not losing) more than the average American families annual income.... cooler of not, bet this Under boys.. or wish you had  GL
