From what I can see at the Sports Monitor of Oklahoma City, it looks like NC had one play today, a Marquee on the Jets, which was a winner.

Nothing to report other than the song(comp. message)remains the same as it has been all week.
Tonight's comp. is on OVER 43 in the Tampa Bay Game.

If for some reason you didn't know the plays were posted and shelled out the $99 for a one year of subscription to PowerSweep

with the incentive being you got the second week of NFL Preseason for free, this is what you were treated to tonight:

Northcoast late phones NFLX
3 1/2 ***. Tampa Bay -3--- TB 16 Miami 14 LOSER.
MQPP BEARs + 2 1/2--- New York 32 Chicago 13("close call") LOSER.
Top opinion. TBAY/MIAMI OV 43---Tampa 16 Miami 14(another "close call") LOSER

Overall 0-3 night.

Real fast.
Todd admits the 0-3 night counting comps and gives updated records, although he is still counting the two questionable star rated plays
from last week as wins even though previously he said that the two games could have been wins, losses or pushes depending on the book you used
and/or what time one played the games.
The rest of the tape is the same broken record/parrot-like promo we hear every day.
Today's comp. is Houston - 4 1/2.

From what I can see at The Sports Monitor of Oklahoma City, NC had a 3* Late Phone Play on UNDER Cleveland, a winner,
a Marquee Play on OVER New England, a loser and a comp. on Houston as shown in previous post, which was a winner.

Takeaways from Comp. Line today:

Ext. 9:

1) Honest Recap.

2) Comp. for today is Seattle +3.

3) The same boring/never-ending promo for this week for Free Week Two NfL and added bonuses for buying a one-year subscription to PS.

From what I have seen posted, the line that the promo will be the same for Week Three and Week Four is yes -15000, no +7000

Ext. 4:

1) Accupics(which I know for a FACT is a MADE-UP service by Phil Steele using consensus plays from other services) went 0-3.

2) Three River Sports, which I cannot find anywhere on internet and which I highly suspect is another MADE-Up service, went 0-4.

3) Comp. today is Milwaukee from Billy Coleman.

The Marquee Play today was/is on New Orleans according to the Sports Monitor of Oklahoma City.

It looks like the actual play was the Chargers-don't know whether they corrected it or I simply misinterpreted when I checked it initially.
With the huge move in the line over the last few days, one could claim a win, loss or a push in any case dependent on both sides depending on what time,
and at what book they made the bet.

A new week and a "new" promo for NC(not really but simply an addition to the existing one which is and will always be the same).

Anyways for the first time so far NC is selling something piecemeal rather than as part of the PowerSweep Package.

The deal is that if you want to get the three star rated side for tonight, it costs $20 with a $30 back guarantee if it doesn't work.

However, the $30 guarantee is not in cash but as a credit to your NC Debit Card if you one of the few stupid enough to have one.

Also, you can buy the Marquee Play (no guarantee) for $12.

Now the rest of the promotion predictably is the same-Week Three in NFL Preseason for free. along with two college Marquees to come along with''

the September Five Star.

Also and don't faint when I tell you this because you will be so overwhelmed, if you sign up today, you will also get

at NO EXTRA CHARGE, BOTH the STAR RATED PLAY AND MARQUEE FOR TONIGHT ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!

The only "mistake" Todd made is not telling people that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity,

and that this kind of promotion will NEVER be offered again.

Also he should have said that the response/demand for this promotion is anticipated to be so great and overwhelming, that if you don't call right away,

you may not be able to get the two picks for tonight before the games begin. lol

Here is an idea that Phil Stele/NC ought to consider if they have any hope at all of generating some real income with all of the known

forces working against them.

Instead of using diddly squat promotions like that talked about in the previous post, which imo at best will bring in a handful of subscribers.

why not try something a lot more like the following:

The last time I checked full Executive Service for the entire season, which includes every single pick and type of pick that NC puts out(which amounts to

zillions), costs around $4500.

They don't even advertise it that way anymore for the simple reason that virtually no one will shell out that amount of money.

Instead, they try to sell it weekly as part of PowerSweep Promotions-imo that doesn't fly either.

Back to the point.

If Steele/NC want to bring some attention to themselves how about this:

With the start of college football less than a week away and the start of the NFL not that far off either, perhaps NC should offer a one special

starting today and good up until the start of the first college game on Saturday.

The promotion should be that if someone purchases a one-year PowerSweep Subscription between now and the kickoff of

the first college game on Saturday for $99, that will also entitle them to also sign up and pay for a full year of

full Executive Service for $1000.

After the kickoff, that offer will no longer exist.

Imo they have nothing to lose by trying this and will have a better chance of succedding than trying to sell it weekly for $250-$300 during the season.

The 3 star and guaranteed rated play on Dever goes down, meaning that anyone(if there was anyone) who shelled out the $20 for the play and

lost, now gets a $30 credit for future plays.

I wonder what would happen if someone who lost, asked whether instead of applying the $30 for future picks, the $30 could be used/redeemed

toward the $99 cost of a one-year Powersweep subscription, bringing it down to $69.

I would make the betting line -2500 NO and +1500 YES.

Here you go for today's comp. line message:

We get the recap first and then the usual predictable blah, blah, blah buy PS for $99 and get Week Three NFL Preseason and the other bonuses.

Then we are told college football starts this weekend.

The most noteworthy thing is that last week Todd told us how great Weeks Two and Three have been historically speaking for NC with

its Preseason NFL.

Well, Week Two didn't go all that well, but Todd this week simply says that Week Three has been historically great, etc.

This is the same kind of undocumented bullshit/lie we hear at the beginning of each November when we are told NC has a big advantage

over the other services as the other ones have to also worry about other sports such as basketball and hockey.

Over three years at CM I documented that that was bullshit and that their record during November was either a losing one or mediocre.

ps I never believed it before, and documenting their record for three years just corroborated what I always believed.

Good ol Phil....brings back bad memories when I would listen to him on radio, would buy his Thanksgiving special that never went up because he was superstitious...can’t remember if it was 2009 or when but he had the worst Thanksgiving record ever, and that was the year I played the highest amount ever per star:ohno:

For years I suffered through those button 3, 9 and other free picks...actually how I found out about Rx...some guy told us we didn’t need to buy his plays as they were posted here....worst year I ever had betting football LOL

Took a while but have learned to fade those guys or ignore. I did play SF last night so thanks savage for posting his play on Denver :103631605
