Bio:

Been a member of RX for a long time (10+ years) as a lurker. Decided about 12 years ago that setting up customized programs for statistics related to sports could yield successful results in the handicapping realm, so I set about attempting to build my own logic streams rooted in both short and long-term statistical patterns. My results were, admittedly, not good at first, but I feel like I am at a point now where I have been able to stabilize the results and say that my systems are profitable long-term. Now that I feel comfortable with my programming logic, I wanted to give back to the RX community by providing you with picks that are generated from my systems. To answer your question ahead of time, I do bet every play that I post. ***Because my systems are proprietary, I fully recommend doing your own due diligence and not following my plays blindly. I have losing months just like everyone else, and I certainly don't feel like I am ever going to be the best capper that posts here. Hopefully, these plays will show the type of long-term success that I have come to enjoy so that you can consider them when making your picks.***

Twitter:
In my signature is a link to my Twitter, which you can see that I just setup. If you are interested, hit the Follow button, as I will post my plays to Twitter before I post them here. In my profile on Twitter, I have provided two links: 1) a Google spreadsheet that has historical logs of all my plays going back to April of 2019; 2) a link to my ****** email for donations.

Google Spreadsheet:
If you read my introductory tweets, you will see that I was recording all of my results with a pen and paper up until April 2019. As I get time, I will be updating the spreadsheet with past months/years. Once I have added an entire past month's worth of plays, I will tweet out that a month has been added to the spreadsheet. Again, my expectation is that everyone will be skeptical of past plays when I have no documented evidence available besides my notes to quantify past results. My hope is that, over time, my plays will speak for themselves, and you will be able to put more confidence in the fact that my spreadsheet contains my true results.

****** Link:
As for the link to ******, I have been following sportsbetting communities long enough to know that people appreciate transparency and good results. The custom programming that I have incorporated over the years has certainly not been cost-effective, but I love statistics so I considered it "the cost of a hobby." If you find that my picks have helped you make money and you are feeling charitable, I appreciate anything that you can give - to be clear, I am not expecting donations of any kind.

Chosen Sportsbook:
BetAnySports (BAS) is my choice for one reason: reduced juice. As you can see from the spreadsheet, I am a high volume bettor, especially in the collegiate sports. I understand that my success is predicated on reduced juice lines. 5Dimes' decision within the last month had me searching for another book, and I landed on BAS because of their -105 lines. To be clear, I am not endorsing BAS in any way, shape, or form. You will see no affiliate link because I am not an affiliate with them. This is simply the book that I choose to place my bets with. You can choose to play wherever you see fit, although you will see that the lines I bet and post will be from BAS (reduced juice). Please do not contact me if you have any problems with depositing or withdrawing from BAS because I do not work for them or represent them. I simply want everyone to know where the lines that I bet come from.

FAQs:

1) If your plays were that good, you would just keep them to yourself, bet them, and win all of the money? Why are you still only betting $100 if your results have been so awesome? Everyone has their risk tolerance. $100/game is mine, especially considering that I bet such a high volume of plays. College football and college basketball season can get very overwhelming with a lot of money spread over 20+ games. I am not here to take down Las Vegas, I am here to put my intelligence to good use and try to win some money along the way. I have gone through a ton of bad streaks and have no interest in ever going broke with my sports betting bankroll.

2) You are just trying to look like a "good guy tout" by asking for donations. Why should I give you any of my money? It is up to you to believe whatever you wish, and I am certainly not going to force anyone to donate. I do put a lot of time and effort into my research and am constantly manipulating my systems based on styles of play in each sport (i.e. the preponderance of overs in the NFL so far this year). Donations are not expected, but any money that I do receive from a donation would go toward hardware purchases to enhance the efficacy of the systems that create these picks.

3) Do you have losing months? Absolutely. The spreadsheet will show that I was a losing bettor in both August and September of this year. I believe in the logic that my systems have been built on, but nothing is infallible. 2019 was an absolute anomaly. I didn't have a losing month in 2019, which made me realize that 2020 was probably not going to be as profitable. I release losing picks - it happens, you don't have to follow blindly.

4) If I follow you on Twitter, how do I know when you have have submitted your bet? Any time you see the line AND odds posted together, that is in an indication that I have booked my bet and will be tracking it on my spreadsheet. For example, tonight I am on the LA Lakers. To indicate that I have recorded a bet for tracking purposes, I will post the final line AND odds that I placed my bet at - LA Lakers (-7.5; -101). Many times, I will post my plays early so that everyone can watch the market and try to get the best line that they can, but until you see the odds AND line, I have not confirmed that bet.

5) What sports do you bet? As of right now, I track data and build systems for the following: MLB, NBA, NHL, WNBA, NFL, CFL, NCAAF, NCAAB. I will have separate threads in each of the corresponding forums for those picks.

Thanks to everyone for reading. My next post will be plays that I have identified for this week in NCAAF. I have also created a similar thread for the remainder of the NFL season with the same bio and picks for this week as well. Take care and feel free to ask questions!

Felt like the 64 number for Friday night was a good number to lock in now. The market seems to be settling on 63.5-64.5 at this particular point. Before it moves to 63.5 at BAS, I wanted to get 64, as it provides more chance of a push instead of a loss.

Well, my debut here on RX is not starting the way that I was hoping, but transparency is what I believe in, which is why you get the picks far in advance. Got these two for tomorrow's early games locked in:

N.C. St./Virginia (O-58.5; -107)

Oklahoma/Texas (U-73; -105)

Will update on afternoon games as game times get closer.

Tennessee (+12.5; -105)

Troy (O-59.5; -105)

BYU (U-63; -105)

Pittsburgh (-6.5; -103)

More to come for the late afternoon and evening games. Weather might add a couple more to the picks that I posted earlier this week above, but still wait-and-see approach.

Certainly not a good way to gain everyone's trust and respect during my first week at RX, but I am going to continue to post my picks regardless of wins and losses because I believe in the historical accuracy of these picks.

Record at RX (5-8)
