I wonder though if SCAL had never had a losing season and was in profit lets say 100s of units each season, I bet then his decision would have been different. I don't want to speak for him but I bet his decision to not go tout was because of his own doubt in his plays. He didn't want 100's of followers paying him just for him to go 50/50 over the season. That would be a bit embarrassing.I am just speaking out of if I were in his shoes. His write ups though people would probably pay just to read those. And he has proven to have posted some sure winner valuable big plays which I give him credit for. So this post isnt to bash you scal just being real with my thoughts. If you were 100% confident in your abilities why would you turn down the offer? Some people don't want to waste time betting free picks they really aren't that good. Covers bans all the premium posters. It's a proven fact. LC is allowed here but it's because they are confident he will go on losing streaks over the long haul.. and many people will give back their profits following him.

Also I bet many of LC's followers dont bet the same units he does exactly as he does. So if his record isnt that much over .500 then he really isn't a premium capper for most people.

I hope you aren't referring to me as a moron? Just because I don't believe everything I'm told. Also I was just boxed for like a month for reasons unknown.

I think he was kinda referring to everyone in the thread at this point but I like the idea of you confronting him. Maybe you get banned this time.

TIME TO BRING BACK THE OBAMA CAGES!

100% BWS is correct here.

30 units in 1 pick - so you could win 1 billion units in 1 pick.

His ROI is roughly 7-8% if he is +30 on 300 picks - actually maybe slightly higher.
- that is AMAZING
- I know good syndicates that have crazy volume (to disguise plays) that do ROI's of 0.75-1.50% so an ROI of 7ish% (if that's what LC's is - I am too lazy to calculate exactly but eye-balling the math) - is probably among a top 1% success rate.

Scal - your qualitative insights are legit (I like them) - but your math skills are lacking / way off (same as when you made Polk WS bet b/c you thought odds were right on him at 1k to 1 or whatever price you got lol).

Good luck all.

True win percentage is W-L record, one of the reasons I never used units before this year (and only started using them because of harassment), so you could hold my feet to the fire with the true capping standard, win PERCENTAGE.

And the opportunity cost of what you could be doing with your life in terms of money making and personal advancement instead of aggressively capping 300 games?

300 games...300? To win $3,000? $3,000? I’ve played hands in poker where I’ve won $3K.

If you REALLY capped 300 games like I do (such granular capping it goes right down to telling you how much dirt is under the nails of a an NFL linemen), you would have no life.

Which is why I have about 300 posted plays in my ENTIRE posting tenure on covers or thereabouts. But when I post, people listen, because they get the goods.

Think of all the sunsets he’s missed.

The career goals he could have met.

The women he could have romanced.

The intellectual pursuits he lost out on.

The muscle he could have built.

I miss out on NONE of that and still come here and cap away...for free.

That’s how I know he’s going tout. No one locks themselves in an unlit attic burning the midnight oil to cap 300 games for free...without getting something in return...that is, a following to go tout.

You’ll see. (and Polk was a good bet. I’ve endlessly explained that to you.).

Sometimes they just put AZZclowns in for no reason at all Mr. Master. Shame, huh.

Scal really isn’t that wrong in this thread as some of you guys are trying to make it seem. He’s actually one of the people LC knew and respected for a while and vice versa, I’m sure he knows what he’s talking about and I’m pretty sure LC is going tout. I would be pretty pissed if I’ve spent several successful years on this forum and had someone support me through it, only to find out that they are going tout after everything. Think about it. The only issue is if LC doesn’t really go tout, I will never want to hear or see anything regarding Scal from there on out haha

Listen if Scal really told LC he should stop posting his picks because he is winning to much we have a major problem here. What outside influences are pressuring LC to stop posting here? This is a travesty to pressure LC in this way. I mean is he really influencing the market to the point his winning picks are causing a problem. What role does Covers have here? I know they promote books, but could the books really approach Covers because LC is winning to much.I know many people bet his picks, but it’s hard to believe it could affect your the industry. This is going to be very interesting to hear LC’s explanation why this is his final post. There definitely is something strange going on Considering how long LC has been here I hope it’s a personal decision to stop posting, not some outside entity driving his decision

I hope he does go tout. I told him in NFL season that he should. Why should one put in time, effort, and put up with the non-sense for free?

this is why parlay systems are a MUST in sports...unless you have a huge bank and are able to fluctuate unit size plays which can be risky

You're so confrontational Stu! I didn't mean it as "You better not be referring to me" I meant it exactly as I said it..."I HOPE" he wasn't referring to me. Simply because I hope I don't get boxed again. So I wasn't confronting anyone really. Just letting them know how I feel. I understand most normal people will think of me as a moron so I would wager on the "YES" to this in reference to Houston's thoughts about me. (If they had a wager for it, I would)

Thank you Rain.

And the saga continues doesn’t it...

We all know LC is reading and monitoring every solitary word in this thread as a litmus test for going tout.

He may not. Maybe this thread will get him to say “Now’s not the time. Scalabrine is clearly onto me and exposing me. Another NFL season or two or three of posting for free to let the smoke clear and then I’ll reconsider the tout route.”

One thing is for sure: Like Woodward and Bernstein outing Tricky person and his political operative lackeys, Scal will find your sin out.

LC

CONFESS....
