And truth be told, we may go broke before we reach the goal... but I'm FINE with that because my bankroll is an allotted amount that I'm ready to lose in hopes of reaching my goal.
With that being said, I'm still going to carefully manage the bankroll... Still going to plug away, and hammer my edges as I find them... And hopefully with a little bit of luck and a lot of patience, we'll be at 100k in a couple years. So until we reach the goal or go broke, expect everything in between.
DJ, my apologies for the clog. This iscompletely related to your bets and you potential to sell them down the road- oh wait- Scholes is an ass (really, buddy, lol, you judge people and thier know-how based on an avatar.... lol), and its hard to resist : ) SORRY
Anyway, I quoted you on this to RESPECTFULLY call you out on it. I really am impressed with what you do. And I would follow you.... but I do understand the grind, and you are not compatible to it. I, too, don't mean to sound condescending, but people SHOULDN'T be trying to follow you, and you SHOULDN'T be trying to sell picks (down the road) until you get more consistent with you data releases.
I can't grind with you because I can't wait for your picks and I can't get the same prices 20 min before the game that you are listing.
I am not bitching, I hope you understand that. I am just pointing out probably the #1 problem with people who sell picks... for baseball and anything european, especially. You can't track someone on a long-term grind unless you can get the same numbers.
You provide a free service, and its great. But the reason why I see many people on here (covers) as fakers is they expect people to bet with them, much like you referred to in the quote.
I respect your picks because you release them before the game and you are proven. That in itself is enough.
But if you sell the picks and follow integrity, I believe you need to have an immediate release time on the odds you are getting, and site/location information as to where you are getting them.
I am a person who believes you should sell your information. I also believe you should do it right. You are the only one who should currently be profiting off of your bets.
We should just watch in admiration. If I saw that you released every day, same time, consistently, or atleast all current available, I would probably run a thread at 50% less and be your biggest fan... and eventually a humble paying customer if you took me where I wanted.
I hope you don't think of me as disrespectful right now because I call out douchebags. I respect you- so much so that I think I just said a bunch of shit you already know. I was actually surprised to read that you expected people to be able to follow you.
Later,
Ryan
ps- scholes- nice avatar. lol.
