and Mike isn't even a sports guy

kinna annoying watching a guy continually blow his own horn who has offered so little
I can't recall even one thing he posted that I would consider helpful in making a pick
in fairness - maybe there have been some helpful posts - but I somehow missed them

You've gotta be kidding. There are literally dozens of people tracking all results 24/7 for all sports. There are hundreds of people, at a minimum, tracking all NFL results.
This has been going on for 30 years.
Have you never read a Playbook? It's been publishing for 30-some years. Jesus, man, it's one of the (if not THE) biggest selling combo college football/NFL preseason magazine published in this country. It's entirely historical ATS angles. The magazine itself usually lists the last five years of this and that, but if you access their online material, it goes back forever. They publish an online newsletter weekly.
It would not have occurred to me that simple tracking of some NFL angles would be so valuable to some. It's a little bit funny, the fact that people don't know this stuff. I guess Shackleford does, and he doesn't bother to mention Playbook or other ATS publications to his readers, which is even funnier. And his readers then think Shackleford is doing unique analyses.
Yeah, okay. You realize Billy Walters, toting $200 million for the last 30 years, could hire whoever he wanted? He hired dozens of programmers and experts, but Shackleford was not on that list.
If you do not know what I just wrote, then you are commenting on things you know nothing about. Why do that? Why declare things and opine when you know nothing?
Why do you think I was stunned that KewlJ didn't pivot (once he was up 25 games) to the middles shooting? I presumed this stuff was obvious and everybody had some kind of handle on it.
If you don't know that historically the NFL is the toughest nut to crack in terms of profits and should be your last port in a gambling storm, well, you should attend a book club once in awhile.
This is what I find so absurd. People who do not know or grasp basic historical information go around commenting about things they know nothing about. Like AP Mickey -- spent post after post saying middles shooting to work off bonuses was a waste of time and blah, blah. Then he actually looked at it and had a hallelujah moment. I can't believe he didn't look at it before.
It's strange. People who count cards for a living, or exploit machines, don't know these things. It's like finding out that your auto mechanic doesn't know how to use a microwave.
