There are just as many people who believe that handicapping the matchups and motivation and stuff like that is all they need to know.  They do not bother to do the analysis that you and I do.  You will probably never reach them, but who cares.  If they have a system that works for them, great!

Lastly, I do not think that your picks move the lines.  See the reasoning above.  What your wife is seeing is probably just late bet adjustment.  The public is the public and will be the public.  If guys like us can grab some cash out of the middle, I think there is plenty to go around. 

Cheers, and thanks for all you do   

youre always a good friend rico. and thanks for that

To put it plain and simple brotha, your insight has opened my eyes tremendously to the world of vegas and sports and how they tie together at times. I was naive before but after following you in football especially two superbowls ago, I started to realize these games SOMETIMES aren't played within the lines on the playing surface. I mean if you take the last two nites for instance, your stance was spot on. I understand many good cappers, not on here, but across the world had those bets as well but for you to explain the ideology behind them, it's appreciated. There is one other guy in football who sways my picks substantially, I will not name him though but you phix, are someone I will always listen to. I will say this....if I am on a side or total and then I see you on it as well, I HAVE NEVER FADED IT. IT JUST REASSURES MY BET. I have always said thank you and will continue to. Also, give a thanks to your wife too. It takes a lot from a woman to put up with capping games and putting emphasis on this gaming world; my wife at times gets on me but when I'm doing well, she loves it. I get to sign up for the naughty too when i prove her wrong all the time! Haaa
So thanks to you phix and your lady for giving us your timeon here. Hopefully you keep capping for a long time to come amigo. GAME 5 TONITE, GONNA BE A GOOD ONE IN THE GARDEN. I STILL THINK IT GOES 7.

I do follow your picks, not 100% of the time but a lot of times. (80% TO 90% of the time)  I  have a job and a family that takes a lot of my time.  So I don't have the time to do as much research as I would like.  So I rely on your picks.  I have a couple of other handicappers here on this forum that I follow, and if they have the same pick as you do, then I ALWAYS follow that pick.  Made good money doing that.  

YOU are one of the best here and I always look for your name before I make my picks.  Then there are my other friends that follow me because I have given them YOUR picks.  The bottom line is that my friends and I are having fun and not losing money.  We win, we lose, but we come out just a little ahead and we have fun escaping our reality world of work, work, family, family, and every day responsibilities, etc.  

WE NEED YOU to continue posting your picks.  Know that we count on you on a daily basis.  And we don't follow anybody blindly.  We do understand that we must all do our homework and research (when time permits). Your help is very much appreciated.  My friends thank you, and my family thanks you (for I'm spending a lot less time now checking stats and doing all the research I used to do.)  I personally thank you and look forward to seeing your picks on a daily basis.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

The best thing about ya phix is you NEVER brag or gloat. You put your picks and insight out there and let it do the talking. 99% of the idiots on here have to swing their d*ck around to see who has the biggest one in the room and along the way, they seem to know it all. When they win, you hear it, when they lose, when they admit it, they make excuses. You my friend, never excuses. I will be honest, a lot of the guys I have communicated with especially in other forums on this site are pricks; their fakes. And that's ok. I think it's comical. Anyways, I will stop babbling but phix, keep being you amigo. I can speak for many and say we thank you again

It's safe to say that anybody who has commented in your widely popular NBA Playoffs thread (whether doing this  or posting this  to get a rise from you after a loss) has, on varying levels, either followed and will continue tail blindly, tailed your picks after having done their own study of the game (with much added confidence that he's on the same side as you), or tried to fade you (this is not a smart move). I only do 2 of the things I mentioned above.

I definitely look at your threads, phixer.  Covers has become a sh!tshow over the years so when I do check in there's only a few that actually have some substance.  If you do leave, let me know where so we can keep in touch.  Appreciate all the hard work.

One thing you have to keep in mind, phix:

You can give out good info all the time, but if people don't practice money management, it can all go to hell.................

Example

You post 3 picks in 3 days. We'll call them A, B, and C

Guy bets $10 on A, wins

Guy bets $$20 on B, wins

Guy decides to bet $100 on C, loses

Guaranteed post to Phixer: "I lost money betting on your picks!"

I don't know if you're comfortable giving out Units, or even releasing your standard Unit amount (never $-goes without saying...........to most)-really turns into a slippery slope....

Phixer as a follower and a friend you know the answer .to this question. The good guys always get hidden and pushed away.
That's how this place is run. Surprised no haters haven't come out yet.
I have a feeling they are sitting on the trees waiting for a dead carcass 
Which I hope they never get. Keep up the amazing work and always remember a lot of the true followers don't always post but still appreciate the efforts.

Hey Phix,

I started following you two years ago in NFL and you pulled me in a lot of green on Seattle's Superbowl win.  I am always appreciative of your time and effort to help a brother out.

Honestly, I have enjoyed your insight about the off the field/court factors that get games decided.  I picked up your thread on NBA games because I don't know squat about the NBA, but I trust you enough to follow your pics blindly and that's because I have seen your success.

And if you stop posting here, I will go the place where you make it rain 365 days a year so I can follow you...
