Covid-19 by the numbers

[LMR]

These are the guys you associate with. Headlined by the guy Marc Lawrence who you tried to tell me is a “legitimate” handicapper in world full of scam artists. You tried the old “They are crooks, but I’m legitimate” scam by telling me Marc is not like the rest.

Note he is the guy who runs the so called Wiseguys contest you always use to try and legitimize your service.

Here are some links to people he promotes, including Jim Feist who we both know was one of the most crooked scamdicappers of all time.

https://www.picksite.com/picks Note this guy is a “documented” 71-40 in his NASCAR picks over the last 3 years. Surely everyone should be paying this guy and destroying casinos.

And here is a link to the Wiseguys contest we have all heard about so many times, including a mention of Robert E Dietz, or Bob Dietz as he is called on there. Congratulations on the tie for 3rd finish in 2017. Of bigger note is that you can BUY the weekly picks of all the contestants in the WISEGUYS contest. So is it any wonder RED has listed this contest in almost every post regarding his credibility?

Note that the sponsor of the contest Marc Lawrence always finished near the top. Again, coincidence or just another part of the overall business model. And of course almost all of the “contestants” sell their picks and services through links on Marc’s site.

So you either believe this is an invitation only contest or that it is just another business model to sell picks. I’ll let you decide and do your own research using this as a start.

Also note in this link RED suggests not playing too much on his picks. Exactly how would one get these picks? By paying for the Wiseguys service as linked above.

Now that Red isn't betting this sports season is the best time for him to show us what he's made of. I mean, maybe, it's harder to pick games now, to find games now, but, who knows. There must be some games somewhere.

Anyway, I spent some time on a forum where one of the leaders analyzes past events, in terms of numerology. A bit of fun with numbers, in other ways. I pointed out a few things to him, along the way, about not trying to misrepresent stuff. I just read a post of Red's.

The point about today and why I bumped this. Back on May 18th, in an entry called "Outside the Box," I made the point that instead of restricting those most vulnerable to the virus, one way to think outside the box was to evaluate the individual differences in ability to spread virus and restrict those who likely spread the most or restrict specific behaviors that lead to the most spread. I suggested banning singing in church.

Well, today (July 3) California banned singing in church, which was probably a compromise move to enable churches to stay open.

Then I googled, a bit, to find out that Germany, and California, had instances of bans on singing in church, weeks before. I take a dim view of, directly or indirectly, trying to take such credit. I would have searched out, and, then, included such links. Maybe, I am in error here, but, it seems unprofessional not to have at least checked for such links, in advance.
