the truth comes out (again)
maybe Jake will just stop for the day with Cubs -250 in order to put a halt to this miserable losing streak..LOL
one almost gets the feeling that this thread will be on page one for a few days
Jake is not playing any more games today, or so that is how it loooks. I have already had an impact on the way that he is playing the card. First, a big chalk play to end the losing streak, then a general fear of the remainder of the card...writing is on the wall men.

As someone who wants to release pro football picks for a living, it amazes me how fast people become touts. Everyone with a computer and internet access is a handicapper now.

Great post Lou. Touts on here are just waiting for a nice little run at the roulette wheel. They know they can't produce over the long run, so they have to cash in while they can. It doesn't matter that Jake has no clue how to make a baseball line, or how to determine line value when wagering on a total. Jake can be an 'baseball handicapping specialist' because he claims to be.
We saw the same garbage with theerodfather. Rather than helping others out with handicapping techniques or information, it is all centered on running up a good record to sell their picks. Dogball gets his ass handed to him the last few days, ruining his record. So obviously now is the time to double the wager size; he's gotta keep those units high to bring in the business.
The touts on here have no desire to educate the masses. Go to the Handicapping zone and see how many touts post in there. I see Big Lou in there talking about money management. I see ATX in there spouting out some great stuff on a variety of subjects. I see Ben Dover donating his data. Jack Dee and Capsmaster offer some great advice. Grand Slam detailing some of his handicapping styles. But where is Rodfather? Jake? Dogball? Any others shilling for gambling bucks?
Nowhere to be found. Disappointing yes, but telling. Those that can't, sell. Those that can, bet.

anyway, I am not going to count one late posted chalk game as a streak breaker...the losing streak is STILL alive!
A win is a win is a win!! Good job, Jake!
Let us see... Jake's usual bet of 20 bucks on a 250 fav = $8.00 profit.

funny, Frank, but NOPE that doesn't count as a winning day. I will make it part of tomorrow's card or the next day that he posts a full card.
I consulted with Journeyman about this issue, and we unanimously agreed that a single chalk play winner cannot be regarded as a "winning day." We regret to inform Mr. Thompson that the streak is still at 11.
>a single chalk play winner cannot be
>regarded as a "winning day."
Dunno, Jake is probably using his fame (afterall his picks are on an internet web site, lifesabitch) to lure an 18yo doe-eyed airhead co-ed for sex. Unless of course Jake is gay (not that there is anything wrong with that). Sex with an 18yo doe-eyed airhead co-ed is a "winning day."

Frank- I don't mind calling it a "winning" day, LOL, but how do I update the record. Do I just count it as a "score" and nothing else? Lol
I don't know the answer to that question Lou, but it is a good one and I see the thread on the subject.
Jake Thompson Friday update
8 games on the card today men, a lot of opportunity to drop big units.
In the early games, things are not looking great:
Cubs put up 4 runs early (looking for the over here)
Mets and Baltimore both threatening early here..

Guys, this could be an 0-8 day.
Wouldn't that be ??????
Wouldn't that be ??????
a 2-6 Friday pushes Snake T to MINUS UNITS for the first time in this still very young season..
We have seen Tout Thompson slide some 15 units in less than 2 weeks..note that this is roughly half of the bankroll that he accumulated last season, allegedly qualifying Snake Thompson as a "professional" and a "proven" player..
