Of course losing over 10% of your allocated gambling bankroll in 1 night is bad strategy, but that was the worst night I've had in ages.

Just so you know, I'm borrowing heavily from your story as I write the cliché-based tale of a gambling addict on a downward trajectory.

This isn't a request for permission, mind you. I'll just slot in one of those disclaimers about coincidental likeness and rename the character to Mateo.

This is JUST like that Sopranos storyline where Jon Favreau steals Chrissy's anecdotes for use in his own script!

So, when the line opens at -6.5 and goes down to -5.5 despite the public being all over the favorite team thinking he has a steal here - I'm checking and rechecking that to find out if there's a reason for that. I'm trying to say here what most of you may already know - the pick you didn't lose is as sweet as the one you won!"
let's never forget that fuzzy quoted himself and called himself one of the brightest minds in sports handicapping

True, But I don't expect that I'm gonna need too. I haven't in like a year and a half.

I do really need Washington to win by 4 or more... If they can't cover I might just take a break until regular season football begins.

No ones throwing a grand at nothing. I've lost about 220 dollars over a horrible streak... But it's the dog-days of summer for baseball, and games are really unpredictable. And I won big money last year by betting on pre-season football, so I'm trying to repeat it, but it's thus far not looking good.

Last year during one week of pre-season play I did a 30 dollar lottery ticket in a pool and won 2200$ I was literally only 1 point off in a game from making 44K. Cause in this contest you pick whether it'll be a win (which is 4 or more) a tie (which is within 3) and a team I needed to win by 4 won by 3.

Still a nice pay-day though.

Yeah man... If I lose my Washington bet today, I'm done for the pre-season.

Last year I did really well, and found the games to be more fixed than anything... But yes, this year I'm starting to doubt my tactics... Still early though. We'll see what happens.

fuzzy, if you don't want to post your in depth wins/loses, why not create a symbolic currency and keep us afloat with amounts gained/lost? like say $30 is 1 fuzzy dollar. you do all your pics etc and say, i lost .4 fuzzy dollars today. so we can keep track that way? we don't ever have to know what 1 fuzzy dollar is equal to

Yeah. Once the NFL season starts I'm going to start fresh with an "NFL SEASON BETTING THREAD"... In order to wipe this record clean and to start over... and I'll bet 100, 200, 300 'fundamental' units that best represent how hard I'm going at things, and I have no doubt in my mind that big money will be won.

Let's put it this way, if no profit is to be made as a whole on the season, you guys can ban me.

I'm sure we can trust the fuzzushima prefecture to develop his own pseudo-currency for privacy's sake.

$1.00 won = ƒ1.00 won
$1.00 lost = ƒ0.10 lost

not trying to be a dick to bonz, reprise, or fuzzy, and maybe i'm missing some context from outside this thread, but why would you feel that fuzzy should quantify this stuff for you? and why fuzzy do you post some of it?

you're betting your own money and clearly under no obligation to share anything. so sharing is either altruism, desire for validation, or something i'm missing..

if your strategy is working for you, the winnings should be all the validation you'd need (and as you point out, sharing a successful, repeatable formula would decrease earnings possible for those that know it, and piss off those who helped you develop/learn it)

and if it weren't reliably working in the long run, why prove that? if you were receiving feedback from seasoned and accomplished pros that you incorporate into refining the strategy, that would be one thing, but that's not the case here

just not understanding the premise of this thread

He talks about it a lot and randomly shares picks without being prodded so why not contain it in one thread and maybe learn something from this savant?

fuzzy insists that he makes money although he admits he doesn't keep track and mostly loses what he posts about. really i believe the attempt is to show him that he is a gambling addict and fooling himself into thinking he can make a living off of it, which is his 'big dream'

correct me if i'm wrong

He has repeatedly promised other members that they stand to make a lot of money if they bet on his picks.

I do tend to dream about fuzzy on the regular, though, so it's hard to be sure of what's real.

Basically I've made some nice money during the NFL and NBA seasons the past few years and come in and share picks when I think they have a high probability of winning.

I cleaned up in pre-season football last year, so I thought I was onto something, but this year the results couldn't be any different. It is what it is.

It's all a learning experience that I'll take note of and I'll use the experience for next year.
