$50,000 bet between Teddy and The Prez

Much obliged

what is the opening song of todays show ?

NEVERMINDmy dumbass just figured out they are posting them for us.......i thought the whole point was to listen.   the parts of the show that i have heard are good..........still trying to get the link to run the whole show...is anyone else having the link kick them out????

GIVE US A REASON GUYS!!!...

To pay $400 per month for your picks.  It is a proving ground here...talk is cheap.  Everyone has runs, and it seems all covers promos show the "runs" happening.  Very rarely are capper's season records posted on all sports for cappers/years past.  I imagine results would compare to a hedge fund manager (whose average returns lose 5% more than the market after fees.)

Have 10+ star cappers, someone is bound to have  a run..."13-2 on fridays"..."12-2 on televised games" you disect average numbers and you can find a run somewhere.

MAKE ME A BELIEVER  

PREZ: 1-1

TEDDY: 0-2

Another night like this and it may be fade time.

MAN PREZ IS 0-3 SO FAR TONIGHT WITH ONE PENDING... AND YES, I PAID 400 FOR THE MONTH. FEEL GIPPED

Interesting that this thread has become a shadow discussion on whether or not to use a pro handicapping service. Some of the arguments above are:

1 - handicapping services do not live up to their claims (e.g. that 60% winners is unrealistic)
2 - that the handicapping fees are not factored into the winning percentages
3 - that self-monitored handicapping sites misrepresent their records (losing games disappear from the record).

Let me advance another argument about handicapping services. It is this: handicappers get paid for giving out picks; not winners. Period.

They don't get paid when you win; they get paid up front to give you games to bet. They give you what you pay for: picks. I've worked with at least a dozen pro handicappers over the years, and I've never lost more money than I have when I trusted my bankroll to a professional. They simply give out too many games in too many sports, and are indifferent to the impact on the bettor.

They are afraid that if they cut back on their action and are very selective about the games they give out, their customers will lose interest and walk away. And to be fair, some will.

You see, the economics are backwards. Bettors make money when a handicapper specializes in one sport and gives out very few picks. But a handicapper could never stay in business if he or she did that.

Handicappers make money when they sell their season picks in as many sports as possible and give out picks to satisfy their customers' desire for "action." Of course, you cannot specialize in four or five different sports. There simply are not enough hours in the day.

Get the picture?  

I ALREADY VENTED IN THE OTHER THREAD ABOUT THIS BUT THE PREZ IS 0-3 ALREADY AND ABOUT TO GO 0-4. I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS. YOU CALL YOURSELF AN EXPERT, HAVE YOUR OWN SHOW, GET PAID A TON OF MONEY AND GO 0-4 IN A DAY???? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE. IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO GIVE SOME WINNERS WHILE YOU ARE DOING THIS MARKETING THING. YEAH, I AM PUTTING YOU ON BLAST. GIVE ME A DAMN WINNER TOMORROW!

im not going to use this thread to get into a convo about buying picks - its about the radio show and the bet - we have started bad - my god we are on day 2 guys - seriously - you will have your chance to get upset if we actually suck over the 50 days - but im now going to stay out of these threads as I do not want to see this stuff day to day

Ilovekim - different story - you bought my picks and i sucked crap tonight - but man im up huge units since i joined covers long term - since january 1st short term - this stuff happens - everyone knows it - its gambling - im not immune - i dont claim 60% records - i win steady money for my customers - 9 out of 10 times you buy a month from me you win - but now im starting to sound like a salesmen and fuck that - i don't want to go there - i just want to use this to promote the radio show.

I will find out about the opening song tomorrow - i don't know.

I dont know if you saw my previous post but here it is again...

Prez I have a legit question...

I am looking at your page and I noticed that when you WIN a game, it goes to the top of the "Last 10 picks list, but when you LOSE, it goes to the middle so it gets erased quicker.

Example - Spurs WIN (top of the list)
                 Lakers over LOSE (under your two winners for the day)

Spurs game ended 3 hours before the Lakers game did. I know for a fact if you won the Lakers game and lost the Spurs, your winning bet would be on the top...

*****

Anyways, he obviously had no reasonable reasoning for this stating that he was not in control of how the wins and losses are posted. That's fine but these guys are like any other cappers. They get people thinking that they are great and up over 100 units blah blah. The thing is, it is not that hard to do so when they are betting 500-1000 units per game. That is just ridiculous to the average bettor. They all go through hot and cold streaks and get ppl to take the bait while they are on a hot streak. Then the subscribers ride out the cold streak and end up paying 400 a month to lose more money. Hate to compare it to a move, but "Two For the Money" wasn't exactly wrong on how the business works.

time to fade away from the tanning bed?

Prez, I am one of those new listeners you guys talked about on todays show (causing the spike in the rating). I took a chance, and have played each one of you and ted's bets so far.... and lost big.    All I'm asking is to give me a reason to keep listening. I also have a question...

Would you consider the picks you and Ted are putting out your strongest play of the day? Or are you saving those for the paying customers?

Prez I am not a subscriber so no problem here. I was simply trying to point out something I noticed. 

I know people get mad when they buy picks and they lose and its completely justifiable. But the fact is, no one is putting a gun to your head to tell you to buy the picks. If you buy the picks, you have to deal with the ups and downs. I'd be mad as hell too if I paid 400 a month for picks and ended up losing, but you definitely can't blame the guy who you bought the picks off.
