After reading the ridiculously long thread from July 3rd, in which everyone on this site seemed to have an opinion, I thought I might clarify a few things.
First: I would challenge the fellow that said I simply copy and paste someone else’s analysis to use Google, the FBI, CIA, MI6, KGB, or any other investigative source he can engage to find one single sentence of what I have written, posted or published anywhere in the world before I, myself, wrote and submitted it here. Any title, any phrase, anything at all. ALL of my work is unique and original. If the fellow is suspicious because the grammar, punctuation and nomenclature are all far above Covers Forum standards I guess he will just have to get used to seeing what intelligent, educated people can do with the language. Sorry, chump.
Second: The fellow that contended there is no professionalism in the Covers Forum. Again we have the instance of a typical Covers poster that wouldn’t recognize professionalism if it was Clarence Darrow arguing a case before the Supreme Court. Just for the sake of his knowledge, which he will have no positive response to, I will tell him this. From 1988 to 2005 I successfully gambled on sports in Las Vegas. I am now retired and if you want to call this a hobby go ahead, but it is a hobby with a great deal of professionalism behind it. Sort of like a master carpenter, now retired, that still has a workshop where he makes an assortment of wood items as a pastime, and people love his picture frames and so forth because they reflect the professional background involved in their production. Do you want a quick medical opinion from your handyman or a retired doctor? That is the difference between what I offer, and willingly share, and the proliferation of amateur nonsense most posters have learned from their fathers, uncles and older brothers, all of whom were losers and didn’t pass on anything worth knowing.
Third: The fellow that suggested you simply jump from one hot handicapper to another because no one wins consistently in the long run. That may be the worst advice ever offered on Covers, even though there is so much bad advice I can only guarantee it is the top ten. There are people that do win consistently as opposed to those who get lucky for a short time once in a while. It is possible to find those people and be set up for a lifetime; sort of like giving Warren Buffett $5K about forty years ago and not selling out the first time Berkshire Hathaway split its stock. I recently read that there are over forty families in Omaha worth over $100 million dollars each just by being original investors in Warren Buffett and sticking with him.
Fourth: Loyal readers and friends have nothing to worry about. In seven years on Covers I have seen just about every form of low life basher and miscreant imaginable. Most are jealous and broke gamblers that know little or nothing about sports and/or sports gambling, even less about odds and probability and don’t have the slightest concept about binomial distribution or the streak effects common to all forms of gambling. I am not going tout and not abandoning those that are attempting to learn something as opposed to the losers that already think they literally know everything. I will continue to do what they cannot. Post an accurate daily record and recap under the same Username, now at eight straight years and still continuing.
Picks soon, have a nice day
