Not mad. Just exuberant. Sorry I got carried away with the capitalizing, bolding, exclamation points.
Obviously, Jeff Ma cared enough NOT to make Arizona or Dallas his "official" picks for his ESPN record. @)
In other words, Arizona and Dallas didn't make the cut. His best three plays he's super confident in are Seattle, St. Louis, Washington.
You better believe Jeff Ma takes his official ATS record at ESPN seriously. So do I if I tail him.

I just don't care but word to the wise, if you communicate like this in your normal day-to-day life, you will appear to be a very angry individual.
Oh brother! face)(*^%
Angry about what? Spending time here is my playtime. It's not even remotely "real world" in any sense of the phrase.
The Rx is an anonymous internet posting forum. There's a 99.999% chance I'll NEVER meet anyone here in "real life."
I communicate just fine, and majority of the members here understand me fine.
You choose to interpret my words the way you do due to the fact I used capital letters, bolded, and used exclamation marks.
Fine, but please don't project your pseudo psychological analysis based on the venue we're both traversing in.
OK, enough keystrokes wasted. Back to football chatter. Carry on. @)
I have no idea who this guy is. I feel the same as you. I've read a stat that the best handicappers are like 52.7% or something (I've also heard 53%). You do know what the means right? If that statistic holds weight - It's a little more than a coin flip every time the best handicappers cap a game. You could flip a coin 10 times and have it land heads every time. That doesn't make that guy an expert capper. What's this guy's life time record? I'd be more interested in that. 10 or 12 games doesn't hold any weight.
On a side note - I appreciate people posting his picks and I like listening to other people's analysis to help me form my own opinions. For the newer guys, that should be the takeaway. I only posted the previous paragraph to help guys avoid traps and blindly tail someone running hot. Maybe he's an NFL capping god, I'd just be curious what this guy's stats look like life time as opposed to one season.
BOL!
I concur the sample size for Jeff Ma is small so far. He's currently 10-2 ATS I think. He makes 3 plays per week I believe. All documented on ESPN.
!/We can track him for the season and see how where he is at the end. He's gotten out to a fast start the first 4 weeks. That's not in dispute.
I've read a stat that the best handicappers are like 52.7% or something ? you need to hit 56-57% to break even , I was 14 years when i firgured out that number
You need to hit 53% to break even. Anyone capping over that is in the top 1-3% because most people lose money or break even if they are decent. 56-57% is insane. Where are you getting your information from? Source?
If someone has the exact information let me know. But from everyone I've talked to, 53% is the break even point. Anything over that and you are considered a winner.
my guys just happen to need the opposite of what this guy is on. surprise? nope. why wouldn't the everyday average joe be taking 3 teams like cincy, gbay and atl.? of course joe pub will bet these teams they are hot and flashy and carry more then just a little cred. this jo is one of many who fad the pub. anywho gluck all
I was wrong a lot when I was 14 too. 52.4% breaks even. Scroll down to the middle of the page for the exact number.
