It’s a fair point if the guy is looking to go tout. Some interesting questions asked. I know Pair you mentioned last week that you might sell your picks going forward. What platform would you consider. Would covers.com be a possibility?Then, if that is true, your sample size from this season does not deserve merit, correct? Since, if you don't have 1000 posted plays, why should anyone think your plays "deserve merit"? Well, i've only seen 2 years of MLB bets from you, this year & last year, and they don't come anywhere near "1000 games" bet.
You mean the "success" that does not reach a "sample size that deserves merit"? BTW, last year your final tally was over 6 units lost.
Speaking of documented success, compare your units won this year with 1, 2 and 3 unit plays, with the following record of entirely one unit MLB bets:
2018: 2264-1946-216, +73.36 units
2017: 2076-1792-191, +39.16 units
2016: 1941-1663-194, +41.48 units
2015: 2043-1700-225, +155.08 units
2014: 1904-1565-216, +185.34 units
That poster is up over 400 units, all one unit bets, since 2014. How does your documented online "success" compare with that?
See the "sample sizes" above. Not what i'd call "small" & way over "1000 games" bet for each season.

2019
TOTAL: 1154-1056-92, -37.73 units
How does the poster omit this fact?? Past years were excellent, but omit the present because the numbers aren't so hot. Don't waste the bandwidth next time.

Because he's obv a tout for said individual and this thread is getting a ton of eyeballs.
Nostradumbass, if you read this do the world a favor and stick your tiny pecker in an electric socket or at least find some other way to wash the gene pool of your offensive stupidity.
Let's get back on track though, on 5's march to 80.Comment -
Yep, tout clown show, every post he makes reeks of it.Comment -
He used to be on pickmonitor as the contrarian but he didn’t post this years run on there. The value in 3rd party verification for handicappers is huge.Comment -
All these people who hate touts so much have no idea how difficult it is to be successful in handicapping . They’ve probably followed “touts” in the past for a month and lost money so they’re out in the forums whining nowComment -
Good morning, I see the excitement in here. It doesn't appear to be anything on the great run we have been having thus far. Attacks seem to matter less if you're enjoying a +70ish unit season. It will be nice to take that bankroll to the NFL season. I find it interesting some of the criticism. After, 200+ games, the thread is generating a 22% ROI. Additionally, I make no comparison to posters on Covers, I find that a little odd to make that reference in here.
What's great about tailing is the user has the ability to tail a capper that suits there liking. All posters are not alike, nor are their records or record keeping for that matter. I look for no quarrels, no hye; I look for an opportunity to share my posts and thoughts to the capping community.
Opposing points of view are always welcomed.

As for sample size, I maintain that 1000+ games is my threshold for considering a capper worthwhile. Use caution in tailing cappers with a small sample size. As for tailing me, that's your choice, nobody is obligated Mr. Nostrodam. Participation is free and voluntary, the last I checked.

I included his units lost this year when i said he was up over 400 units in one unit bets since 2014. How does pair of no balls (PONB) compare to that? Less than 100 units the last 2 years with a losing season last year. And he doesn't talk about years prior to that. Why? Also pair of no balls pads his record with 2 & 3 unit bets, so to compare his record with the other guy, let's divide his units by 2, which gives him less than 40 units won. So the other guy at +400 units has over 10X more profit in documented picks than PONB.
As for posting the other guy's record, PONB invited it when saying he'd put his record up against anyone. Still waiting on his documented record for previous years. How many units did he lose then?
As for the other guy being down around 40 units this year, the year isn't over yet. He could end up ahead 39 or more units like he has every year since at least 2014. After all when you're betting around 20 bets a day things can change quickly. Only 2 weeks ago he was up a few units. And this year he's both won & lost 80 units in a calendar month.
As for PONB going tout. There are guys on Covers who post a bunch of picks. If they do poorly they create another handle & keep coming back with new names until they go on a 21-6, 40-10 run of 1 unit bets & then go tout. They have no real skill & may choose their selections by flipping a coin. What difference is there between those following PONB here & those following the coin flippers on Covers? What evidence is there in this thread that PONB knows anything about baseball? He never has a write-up & never offers a detailed explanation as to what determines his selections individually or in general. And people are going to pay a guy like that? Why bother when there are better guys out there giving away their picks for free who, unlike PONB, win year after year after year, such as this guy who does it in multiple sports:

Maybe my bro Dynasty can take care of this guy? This Nostro dude is nuts.Comment -
And, BTW, even many touts picks can be had for free here:
While others are obtained at a fraction of the cost with group buying here:

Mods please check in and remove this fool. This one of the best threads at sbr.
Take control of the situation.Comment -
Guys Im pretty sure that promoting a tout or future tout site on SBR is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. If it continues the thread will be shut down.Comment -
Thanks for the invite Pair. You leave for a short time and look what happens at your party! The thread being attacked and taken over, ha.
It it seems to me that Mr. N. woke up one day, spotted your thread, perhaps this week and decided to follow along. Well, you’ve lost a couple and it may have cost him a few bones. Unable or incapable of dealing with said losses, probably due to poor coping skills, he reacted by lashing out. Now, some of his content isn’t untrue, but calling you names to make himself feel better isn’t needed or necessary.
Coming into this thread to reference or promote other people is pretty ludicrous, considering no one cares. Mostly all the regulars to this party enjoy and follow Pair, so there’s a natural bias, rightfully so, considering his success this year. As Pair said, fade or follow, every viewers choice.
I’ll sum up with one of my favorite sayings...”you can’t reason with unreasonable people.”
good of luck to everyone...Comment -
A great professional answer by Dynasty as always but for your sake PAir5 he cannot side with you...for OBV reasons, cheers.Comment -
