Collusion can happen anytime. I know the poker sites attempt  to  catch screen names that play on same tables too often. But you could have 5 accts. girlfriend, mom, bro , whatever, all with different IP addresses,  and if you play high enough stakes, I mean like 2000 buy in, not 50000, then you ARE going to play with alot of same people so that is no help to the sites anyway. Of course cheating happens, is it rampant? I have no clue but does it happen? yes yes yes

PS  I do not think sites like pokerstars, partypoker etc etc are involved, just players    But would I be SHOCKED if I was proven wrong?........no

Pack,

We lost Phil??? What a shame, good suggestion though, he was more of a mike the mouth matusow. Little sad man who always laments how unlucky he is.

very true

Whew!!  Glad I waited till 5. First game I waited on a number on this acct in the whole tourney.  Avoided a horrific OT beat

Actually I appreciate your help. the more input the better. As long as it is not an F you fest that alot of threads become.  To be honest I feel I know alot more about sportsbetting then the average poster, it is not me being full of myself it is just reality, I have probably in the last 15 years spend at LEAST 3 1/2  full years in vegas betting almost completely on sports. Also lifetime I am ahead which most people can not say. That being said  I KNOW there are tons of people here that know things I do not, or have seen things that I have missed and I appreciate hearing from them. Like I said midnite I appreciate your input

When a tout tells me he is 60% I have to just believe him?

The guys I am tailing have posted their plays BEFORE they start of course and I SEE they are hitting at a successful rate.  On a site like covers you have access to hundreds, maybe thousands of gamblers, and yes a handful of them can handicap and show a profit.  Lets wait and see the results at the end of tourney to see if they "lose my money".   Good luck to you

Arkansas ..points and ML

Kindergaren numbers BY far most impressive...the sample is HUNDREDS of games, granted he gets EVERY good number out there but even with that his stats are fantastic

I use stuckey, KOAJ told me to early in this thread.

I stated who I am using early in this thread I just do not state whos pick it is game by game. The reason is if 4 guys like mich st and one likes pitt, I use mich st...if it is 2-2 I pass....   However if later I post KRwood82  liked mich st..someone will immediately ask ' well why did you not use his ND pick that lost??" I add up all the opinions of about 8 posters and take what I feel is there consensus picks. 

My picks are not from anonymous posters,  look at top of thread.  You also say they were not "doubling their bets"  My first 25-30 bets were one unit!! Then we got on a run so I raised my bets one unit, then cut the raise in half when I was not sure if it was getting choppy again. I am sure when I look at the sheer numbers our winning % will be below 50% and we will be ahead $$$ as of the end of tonite. That is a good thing, and it was not done with a blind 8 unit chase where I pray I either win or beat my dog

It was done with sound money management and discipline which is what I said I wanted to show at the very beginning of this thread, miraculously these principles are panning out the first week! But like I said when we were down double digit units, it is a marathon not a sprint, long way to go

Stuckey will not be faded I assure you

slamming Ebaylor or a 3 time NCAA champ coach is a little different, however if you did state previously Pitt was a fraud kudos to you.....If I felt thatway I would have  wrote this very thread about knight a few days ago.

but I do love izzo

IZZO is awesome
