yes, we did, and we bet all the sports too. Bet a hundred to win a hundred, not for me then, and not now

I put in a LOT of time handicapping daily sports, and the NFL has been a consistent money maker for me and those that follow me.

I\'m successful because I put in the time. Most don\'t or can\'t.

Last 2 years NFL:

2022

PLAYOFFS
9-5-1 (+3.5) 64.2%

FINAL REG SEASON RECORD
TOP: 40-25-2 (+25.2) 61.5%
REG: 80-55-2 (+19.5) 59.2%
All:120-80-3 (+44.7) 60%

BEST BET: 14-3-1 (+21.4) 82.3% (One Per Week)

2023:

FINAL REGULAR SEASON
Best Bet: 6-2 (+11.4) 75%
Top Play: 19-10-2 (+16.0) 65.5%

ALL PLAYS: 109-76 (+41.0) 58.9%

Best Bet win percentage is impressive. I\'m assuming, as with betting the horses, the amount wagered is different based on your confidence level?


Good Luck,
Joe B.

Yes

Best Bets are 2X bets

[jma11473]

Yeah, much better to play the horses and bet $100 to win what you think is $500, but at post time it turns out to be $200, or you just lose the $100 outright.

As far as \"scripted\", the idea that you\'d keep the hundreds of people involved in such a conspiracy quiet is ludicrous. Influenced, maybe, but scripted?

If you ever meet a pro athlete, someone who has given their body to a sport, ask him if it\'s scripted.

[Roman]

That was not my statement, it was from the FBI agent in that case. And I have met several Pro Players, Gayle Sayers was a great & frequent customer of mine, as was Tony Kukoc and numerous others.


Most Pro Wrestlers are & were fantastic athletes, and that is scripted, but that does not take away from there athletic abilities.

As for keeping the conspiracy quiet, I always thought the same thing. How many people would keep quiet. Just look at horse racing and how many people in the industry do not speak up when they see wrongdoing. Not many.

Is everything that NBA ref says is true? Of course not, but there is evidence of some meddling in the results of the game.

Fixing games has nothing to do with anybody\'s athletic abilities.

What a game.

Roman I hope you cashed.

[jbelfior]

Shanahan again. The guy\'s a master at it.

Congrats if you had KC. I lost my lungs on the Niners. It was like betting against Hulk Hogan or The Rock. Roger\'s \"Entertainment League.\"


Good Luck,
Joe B.

[Roman]

I did, thanks, unbelievable game. I turned $10 into a $485 profit, using the free bets from Draftkings & fanduel under the wife\'s name. If Pacheco or Kelce scored, would of been looking at about 8k in winnings, and I would be at home today instead of work.

Hedged a little on SF, would of cashed about $1500 if SF won. Had fun betting the big game, it was like a 3 hour horse race. Couldn\'t sleep afterwards thinking about the woulda, coulda should . Glad I only play sparingly, watching games you bet on take a lot out of you.

Now it is time for derby fever. And I got it

This is ridiculous, and a lazy narrative

This is the world we live in half truths and beliefs treated as facts

[Ace]

And those athletes only have two legs. Not for me

[TGJB]

If it’s scripted it should be easy to pick winners, no?

[ajkreider]

The problem with conspiracy theories of this sort is that they require an absurd level of operational security, which simply couldn\'t be maintained.

Moon landing?  The Soviets don\'t dispute it, so they\'re in on it.

Contrails?  All the pilots and ground crew keep it hush hush.

2020 election?  The Secretaries of State, election workers, ballot printers, truck drivers, all on the take.

This, in a world where people\'s affairs end up on X within the week.

Happy Valentine’s Day ðŸ˜,ðŸ˜,

If you can’t see the amount of $$ that Swift brought to the NFL and can’t connect those dots. Don’t know what to tell ya.
Good Luck
