Nice job Sing Sing. 60% over 16 games? Easier said than done. Now, if you can hit just one of them parlays I will eat my words about your parlay system. Best of Luck.

Good point. That's why it's worth the extra homework to find those underdog plays or when the oddsmakers totally fail to set the line properly or have little time to react. Hard to make money chasing favorites. IT takes lots of balls and brains to play parlays for a living or on a regular diet.:cool:
It's something like a 1 in 32 chance with five teams. I got super lucky a few years back on one such parlay Moses, that's all it takes. Then as maxpen likes to say, I went back to my teeny weeny itty bitty little Hyatt at Incline Village cabin, and counted the profits before taking us and 8 family members to Lone Eagle Grill for dinner.
I know, all the WoVers are a little bit jealous. Not many of them have ever been to or stayed in the Hyatt lakeside cabins at $600/night now, and none have ever been to the LEG. Obviously, way too expensive just to get there, let alone be able to afford the cabins for a week or just one dinner there.
In other threads, it's envy and hatred of my winning at vp. In this one, I get to rough them up further with successful sports betting.
Does it get any better than this--especially after getting to humiliate poor kew into departing yet again??
Your online track record betting sports is abysmal. You shut down the Singer 5 twice not even halfway thru the season on your own website because you were so far in the ole you knew you weren't getting out. So you've gone 9-6-1 over your last 16 picks. You are crowing pretty good about it. But the not well kept secret is you are a lifetime loser at NFL betting.
You're hoping and guessing again mickey. And BTW, thanks for admitting you often visited my site! I also highly suspect that you were one of the most fervent readers of my GT column.
I did peter out in my second season, and that was after having a highly successful first on LVA Sports. Why else do you think I was the guy the idiots there loved to like to hate me :)
Methinks it's you who's doing the crowing for me. But check back with me after the 8th week and I'll let you know how much to toot my horn.
mickey you're funny. All thru the 8 years AP's called in complaining about my truthful attacks on them and about the strategy I used in order to win so consistently. And up thru now, was I supposed to think a goose egg like you would have complemented my thoughtful insights?
Thanksgiving weekend bets are placed. Each game is at $400 except my Lock of the Week, which is at $500. There is also a $100 parlay on all five teams.
Det +3 over Chi
Atl +13 over NO
TB -3.5 over SF
Az +12.5 over LAC
Indy -7.5 over Mia
Crazy fucker. lol
I looked at this game. I sort a thought Detroit should be a favorite with Chicago QB questionable and 3 days rest. I will pass because I don't bet on bad teams. But, with a gun to my head, I'd spit it up and go 1/2 Detroit money line and 1/2 points.
Yes the parlay is a crazy bet....until one hits.
I have always felt Detroit plays amped up on Thanksgiving Day because of the tradition. That made the difference for me.

Since 2004 The Detroit Lions are 4 Wins and 10 Losses... They need a new amp.
0 wins and 1 loss since 2017
Point was if they play so amped up on Thanksgiving Day, why do they have a losing record on that day?
Obviously the "feeling" is wrong.
37-39-2 is amped up?
Since the 21st century rolled around they are 6 wins and 12 losses... seems like they are doing great on Thanksgiving Day for the last 18 games on that specific day.
You didn't know? When I stole the hundy from the Salvation Army bucket for food, I'm such a degenerate that I thought I could double my free money in no time. Now I'm starving, the 8 family members who showed up at my house for Thanksgiving have grumbling stomachs, and we're all headed out to the soup kitchen first thing tomorrow morning.
Of course, this is only true for those of us with real names here. The rest are wealthy winners who turn phantom bucks into real cash as required.
Mickeycrimm wasn't kidding when he told everyone to just go opposite of the Singer Five.
Detroit really plays Amped-Up on Thanksgiving!
Saints cover 13 no problem!
Wise Up.
Could I have asked for and be thankful of anything more? As expected, the anonymous cowards go into hiding while biting their nails & sweating bullets as my picks started off at 3-0 last week, but when they begin 0-2 these armchair-gambling phonies turn into the bravest little puppets in the world!
Now back to the streets begging for coin. :)
If you bet sports all the time I can see why. In my case it's a once every few years interest, and winning or losing $10k or so keeps my declining care about today's NFL negro league tolerable. And what's more entertaining than easily coercing comedy out of a bunch of armchair dummies by making a handful of NFL bets anyway?
You definitely picked the most difficult pro sport to handicap. Lots of patience required and it's hard to find value in just 16 games. I wouldn't touch college sports. I've been around a lot of 19-21 years old athletes. Plus I remember how I was at the age. The only scarier thought would be you at the age. lol
Last night Oklahoma scored 59 points and didn't cover the 3.5 points. I didn't bet the game but the over was 87.5. They had scored 94 points by the end of the 3rd quarter. Very entertaining game. All offense and no defense.
I also guess you should have gone to college monet. That post makes little to no sense.
However....thanks for your interest.
Rob, what do you think about redietz' 87-70 record in the Northbet contest where you don't get to choose the teams. You are forced to pick a side on 12 certain games per week. Pretty good record for that isn't it? That's like 55.4% winners which is good enough to make a healthy profit. I think he finished 12th or something like that. How many were in it, hundreds?
Maybe you can get in the Northbet contest next year.
No idea what that is mickey. I have no desire to play in tournaments of any kind. Tournaments are for chumps. I'll finish higher than 60% by season's end anyway.
If you were trustworthy, almost every poster on here would bet you that wont be at 60% by the end of the year. Your martingale garbage aside, you can’t pick enough winners.
Once again you opened your mouth knowing you can’t hit 60%, but will come up with some excuse when you don’t.
And Parlays are for chumps too.
Interesting use of the word "tournament." Nobody refers to sports handicapping contests as "tournaments." Most sports handicapping contests are season-long. Horse race contest players do refer to their one-weekend contests as "tournaments," however. The jargon difference seems to be that a short-term contest can be called a "tournament," while a season-long contest is not called a "tournament." Just trying to get the usage jargon clear for general readers. You know, some people get short-term and long-term concepts confused.
As to my being a "chump." LOL. I have not posted a single negative remark regarding Argentino's sports handicapping. In fact, I have generally tried to be helpful. Go back and read my posts.
Now, Boz, we don't know that Argentino can't pick 60%. Perhaps he'll go on a tear. He's just five games under the pace needed to hit 60% for the season. I suggest we just sit back and root for him to do his best.
Personally, I'm going to go jog this morning, even though it's cold and there are 30-mph winds. If Argentino shows up in Las Vegas to conduct our mutual interview Dec 15-20, maybe he and I can go on that 5K we were discussing last year when he wanted to race kewlJ. I could use a jogging partner.
Kumbaya, my Lord, Kumbaya.
Rob did hit his lock of the week. Never bet bad teams. Never give more than 4 points. That being said, where would your record stand?
You'll finish higher than 60%? Really? Damn, that will be some great handicapping. Well, to start with, you fudged and added one more game. So you are 10-10-1. Now, here's where the rubber hits the road, er, I should say, gambling math takes over. That's something you don't know anything about, numnuts or you wouldn't have made the 60% prediction.
There's five weeks left in the season. That's 25 additional picks you will make. That would be a total of 46 picks. And 60% of 46 is 28 rounded. Since you have just 10 wins right now, in order to get to 60% for the season you will have to pick 18 winners out of your next 25 picks.
Are you going to fudge and say the playoffs are included too?
Piece of cake, right Robocchio? Everyone knows math is no good, right? You throw it out the door with video poker so you may as well do the same with sports handicapping. Alternative reality is the way to go. Keep believing, sucker.
Anything's possible if you work hard enough and believe.
The season is still young.
Outside of extraordinary circumstances I'm betting five. If I were doing this for any reason other than what I stated earlier then I'd bet all or most games each week, and for $500/game from the start. If I'm behind in a few weeks I'll very likely win it all back and more when we leave for Lake Tahoe the day before Christmas anyway.
So anything lost on football, which is public, will be won via video poker, which is non-public. Sounds like a plan. It may be helpful, of course, if someone in Nevada heads to Tahoe to publicly monitor the video poker attempt to make up for football losses. Otherwise people simply won't believe you. Any volunteers?
Reality is such a bitch.
Making all these excuses like you are going to get some sort of empathy or sympathy from this forum lol.
Wise Up.
Good thing you are only betting 5 games a week.
If you bet all NFL Games every week you would lose more money.
Your last sentence about most likely getting it all back the day before Christmas sounds like a true Ploppy.
Don't Worry Honey... I'll get it all back in Tahoe!
You give kewlJ all that Shit and now you say something like this.
Sounds like your on the Accumulated EV train as well.
Wise Up.
When he wins he says that money is his money.
When he loses he says the Casino is just holding it for him and he will get it all back with interest.
Bank of The Casino!
Obviously can't beat Football but is such an addicted gambler he can't stop betting on it.
Mickeycrimm already confirmed that he has been losing for years posting up his Special Picks!
The guy has the nerve to constantly make fun of Redietz who is actually a confirmed winning sports bettor.
Last I checked Redietz is not some anonymous poster and Singer can't use his usual attack/excuse that this guy is an anonymous armchair gambler.
With Redietz he actually has a proven track record that is published.
Wise Up.
LOL... IF IM BEHIND.
No Doubt you are going to be behind.
You keep betting those parlays and those special five picks and your gonna get raped in the book just by the sheer odds of what you are doing which is throwing darts.
Don't worry though we will all be watching your picks every week.
Nothing better than watching you lose your ass in the light of the public eye.
However, you go to the Casino pushing buttons and hit and running every day with monster wins playing against the math!
When you lose in the book you just run over to the Video Poker ATM and withdrawal more funds to give back to the book!?
Wise Up
This week's bets have been placed: $500/game, except my Lock of the Week is $600. And the much beloved $100 parlay.
Dal +7.5 over NO
ATL -1.5 over Balt
TB +3.5 over Car
NYJ +8 over Tenn
Indy -4 over Jax
redietz, on your return trip from the moon take a few deep breaths thru your nose when you step off your craft.
I don't recall you ever requesting a monitor of mickey's claims, kew's claims, or even your own claims. We're supposed to take it at face value that three proven liars are telling the truth about winning when they play without witnesses?
Works both ways. Like it or lump it.
About a thousand folks see the Wise Guys plays every week. Hundreds, if not thousands, subscribed to "Tipsters or Gypsters?" Thousands of people see "redietz" up there on the leaderboards at Northbet. And I have complete -- dated and timed -- emails of all plays to all partners. So as far as witnesses go, I think I have a few.
I have a great idea -- why don't you and your family or your trainees head on down to Las Vegas. You pick the time. Alan can interview your family and trainees, get it on tape regarding your video poker success and prowess. I'll show up with a couple of long-term clients and we'll get that on video, also. It'll be a good credibility comparison.
P.S. The Wise Guys Contest is an invitation-only, season-long football handicapping contest in existence for more than 30 years. Handicappers use their top two plays each week. The number of people invited has varied over the decades. Originally, there were 30 or so. Currently, roughly 50 get invited.
Actually Bob has posted his real name and again his record, good and bad, is out there over the years. In the Sports betting industry, he is well known as a good guy in an industry fills with cons and scammers. I’ve conversed with him over the years and never once has he pitched me on anything. So if he trying to sell something, he’s a shitty businessman.
So unless the RE posting here is trying to steal someone else’s persona, he’s Bob Dietz.
Wise up and do the research. You still have to pick winners to win your so called “tournaments”, which are not tournaments, but whatever.
And yea, Dallas is looking good so far.
You weren't here when he was first asked to prove his identity and to tell us where he could be confirmed on the internet since nobody could find anything about him--including him. That's what got him to send his silly "PR Pkg." to Alan, which curiously was told to only have info on a R. Dietz from 20-40 years ago, with nothing about his claims since he's been here. And we have zero knowledge if he's using the Dietz identity or not, because he has not and will not prove his real identity to anyone in person or post a valid ID. And yes, I'm not believing he's that guy until he proves it, which is simple to do. My skepticism is partially the result of him trying to solicit business from me with his sports betting business. So all it takes is for him to prove his identity, as I have done.
Red, you keep making these invites or whatever about having families meet or Alan or me or whomever etc., yet you have no family, while those of us who do can't just run off to see the strangest guy on the forum as if we have no other responsibilities. So just post your picture ID and you will be believed. Then explain where you and all your claims (from the last 15 years please) can be located on the internet. No tournaments please also. Just solid info on your purchased bets.
Argentino claims I solicited business from him. Try again. I haven't "solicited business" from anyone in years. There is zero chance he has any emails, texts, or phone calls from me soliciting business. Zero. Point. Zero. I don't ever email people unless they contact me first. I don't and have never solicited via text. I don't and have never solicited business via phone. If Argentino has emails, texts, or phone calls from me soliciting him, I will send him 10K and dance naked on the overpass between Bellagio and Caesars Palace.
And Argentino, I have no idea what you mean by "purchased bets." There's no way for you to "purchase bets" from me. Go ahead and try. You don't quite have this figured out, do you?
Denial....the second biggest problem a liar faces.
I don't know what the term you starving sports betting solicitors use. It's just annoying and stupid. And if you people think you're so good, why don't you just put more money down on your "sure things" and stop trying to peddle the picks for a better income? It makes no sense.
Dallas played exactly the way I pictured it when I chose them in this game. The Saints aren't going anywhere and Brees has played way above his head this year until this game.
Mahome's is doing the same thing. Andy Reid is ruining the guy's chances for any championships with his helter-skelter schemes--on offense as well as defense....and KC's D absolutely stinks. Baker Mayfield is the true up & coming elite QB in the NFL. These hot shot black tough guy scramblers who try for 100 yd. rushing games every week like Wilson, Newton, Kap (idiot), Vick, Jackson, etc. etc. are never gonna be considered great because they can run like they just robbed a store and are being chased by the cops. Just look at the consistency best ones today: Ryan, Brady, Rodgers, Brees. These guys learned and know how to throw the ball from the pocket first, and not pretend their in some silly gimicky college wildcat offense.
Keep in mind that this is basically a "reputation free roll".
If he loses, (as he has in the past), humble Rob will say "Well shucks. I tried and while I did OK I just wasn't able to get just a few more wins which would have put me over the top. Maybe next year."
And if he wins it will be:
"I told you I'm the GREATEST SPORTS BETTER EVER! Nobody can beat me! That dumb Deitz is nothing compared to me!"
Win-Win.
