I agree with Hectar 100%. I believe that most people who read this forum have had enough of all the conmen, liars, and chase system idiots on this site. The quality of the postings and the neck level BULL SH*T continually appearing on this site is absolutely appalling.
I have never in the past commented on any of The Thinkers dozens and dozens of losing threads because he is among the MOST dishonest of ANY poster on ANY forum at ANY site. The ONLY thing he can possibly be given any credit for is his persistence. But, even there, he is doing it for himself, not for anyone else.
The WORST thing about his countless threads on Systems & Strategies is that not ONE SINGLE ONE OF THEM even belong on THIS forum. There is NEVER a system or strategy discussed or explained, as required by the rules of this website. Lucky for him the Moderator here at Covers, just sits there like the Maytag repairman, NEVER doing his job of policing this forum.
Many of you may not know that The Thinker (one of his many names) has posted on various forums for about 10-12 years. I actually enjoyed his posts in the early years on another major sports betting forum. He was a much more honest guy back then, and he was trying to find systems that would be profitable. He actually shared information and ideas. For example, one longtime quest involved trying to determine whether or not it would be profitable to wager on any underdog, in any sport, when the underdog had the BETTER straight-up won/lost percentage. That was one time when I actually believe he trying to help forum readers. Unfortunately, he gave people bad advice, even back then, and told people that it WAS longterm profitable to bet ON underdogs with the better winning percentage in a match-up. The fact is, by the way, that it is NOT a profitable system. Any thorough study of any sport will reveal it is not a winning system. I know, because I've researched it.
Probably the most despicable thing The Thinker has done was when, about a year or two ago, on another site, he blatantly lied to everyone about this guy he called the Falcon - a mysterious and savvy gambler who come into The Thinker's place of business and give him winning picks day after day. Of course, the posted picks from the mysterious Falcon never did win, and The Thinker continued to deny that HE was the Falcon (as if anyone really cared). But it certainly said a lot about his credibility and character. He's had trouble keeping his stories and "handle" straight on the various forums. He would forget which story was supposed to go with which "handle". The end result of all the 'handles" and threads, whether he has used, The Thinker, Falcon, or SSI, were all the same, EVERY SINGLE ONE of them would lose. It must be a staggering amount of money he has cost unsuspecting followers who have a natural tendency to believe that people are honest.
I don't understand why people find it so difficult to just be honest and say, "Hey I'm trying a new system using these clearly explained rules. The rules and system probably won't work since 99.9% of systems and theories don't work, but let's see what happens". Instead, all we get over and over, thread after useless thread, are nothing but picks from a super secret mysterious supposedly personally programmed computer. What a bunch of absolute crap.
And for The Thinker or anyone else who says, "but wait, The Thinker is actually winning this year so far" (79-91 with virtually all underdogs, 46.5%). Here's is the REAL answer to that. I chart every single favorite and underdog every single day. I do not count a game a dog winner or favorite winner if the line is -105 thru -109 (those are pick'em games). These are the results through last night, May 9th. Favorites have won 232 games this year. Underdogs have won 213 games. So, the favorite/underdog record is currently 232-213. Favorites are only winning 52.1% of the time. Underdogs are absolutely cleaning up so far this season. Historically, favorites win about 57.5% of the time longterm. So, The Thinker has been able to win 46.5% of the time. Yet, all you had to do was bet EVERY SINGLE UNDERDOG this year and you would be winning 47.9% of the time. How good does The Thinker's rare winning record look now?
What should really be happening on all of these sports betting forums is a massive and combined player demand of sports books to DRASTICALLY REDUCE the juice that we are charged. The insatiable greed of sports books will eventually kill off sports betting, as has largely happened to horse racing. EVENTUALLY, everyone will realize that we're all just jerking ourselves off trying to beat a game that is mathematically as negative as sports betting is. The bookies are robbing us blind. This is what drive people to pursue the ultimate nonsense - chase systems. For those people, there is no hope at all. Except for a very select few systems, we don't stand a snow ball chance in hell of having any reasonable chance whatsoever to beat a game where we are required to LITERALLY predict the future and are charged juice to do it. If WE have to predict the future, WE should be the ones getting the juice, not the sportsbooks.
Thinker, consider getting a shot or two of truth serum, and then take your countless threads to the APPROPRIATE forum.
