Newsletter Tracking (through 9/18/2023)

Many people here are probably already familiar with my tracking thread from the other place.

The records here will reflect the lines listed in the newsletters at the time the plays were published. This is for the rated plays, the high-ranking plays, and any type of play worth tracking. There’s no reason to keep track of every bottom-tier or “recommended” play; it’s not worth the work.

Sometimes the newsletters will cheat a little by claiming a different common or later line if it turns a loss into a push or otherwise boosts their record. I’ll usually be able to note what happened to explain the discrepancy.

I’ll also highlight particularly good or bad weekends or short-term runs. I will not include picks from newsletter issues that we don’t get in time.

Some of these will be great follows, some will be great fades, but most won’t show a significant pattern either way.

Interesting read!

Yeh. Those guys (Root, Feist Chirimbes etc) were all on NON main networks. Like the USA network which was unregulated.
You guys who lived in Nevada then, could get in real contests. No where else that Im aware of could other sdo it.
But I was king (G-MAN WIN$) on the newsstand for the only 3 years I printed sheets. Was NO #1 all three years.
I had Highest win percentage over Phil Steel, Marc Lawrence-Playbook, Winning Points, The Gold Sheet, Sports Reporter and Red Sheet and the rest. In BOTh Colllege and Pro plays.
I also ran a nationwide 30 minute gambling show. Difference was - I was on ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX on Football.
I had a REAL 900 number that went nationally through Tamona Enterprises in Atlanta.
They also confirmed that Feist, Root and every other guy who marketed through them were all lying and no one ever finished over 50% for the entire season when they combined all their advertised releases. Those years were 94,95.96,

My show had to be approved by HBO/Time Warner then - who controlled ALL those shows and broadcasting approval.
They actually documented my record INDEPENDENTLY themselves first.
They also rejected every other show like Feist and others including Root, because they ALL were found to lie about their records.
Back then - there was no other way to make money legally other than trough the tip sheets and the phone lines.
It wasn't enough to raise a family and three kids.. I walked away and Started a Staffing Business . Did that for20 years and well worth it.

If I lived in Nevada - I likely could have stayed in it and earned a living.
Steele, and Larence had real jobs then so they hung in there with it. They both came down to Klein Distributors in Cleveland ( shipped out our Tip Sheets nationally) each week early to get my Sheet. Both those guy operated in Parma and sSrongsville then. Lawrence moved to Florida later.

Hope you can bring some good here for everyone.
BOL on your plays
G-Man.

Phil Steele founded that newsletter for NorthCoast, since then, he's spent more time on Inside The Press Box, so he's had a lot of contributing analysts doing picks for Power Plays, Power Sweep, which has diluted the better cappers, they basically use trends & past performance head 2 head games to come up with their plays, Brad Powers was one of their better cappers and since he's gone on his own, the Power Sweep has really suffered. They haven't lost many subscribers because if you know they are on a fade trail, you can still cash in with their plays. It's a win win situation. That's one reason tracking newsletters can be beneficial.

Years ago you could pick up Sports Reporter, Winning Points, Dr Bob, Power Plays, Power Sweep, Playbook, Gold Sheet, Gold Sheet CKO and a newspaper called Sports Forum all at the newstands for a few bucks. Today most (Dr Bob and Sports Forum I don't believe are available anymore) of these are available online at an inflated cost but they can still be valuable if you read between the lines. Any good capper should have a ratings system to compare to opening lines and the movement, plus an analytical mind to make quality plays. If not, fading the newsletter picks overall on the year, you'll probably make money playing equal units on them.

When you see a tip sheet go 0-10 on their picks, it's just a matter of time for them to go on a hot streak to kill your fades on them, LOL. But all in all, newsletters, tip sheets, etc., are all good for some information and comparison to what you've already played or were thinking about playing.

Thanks Mendozaline & Buzz for all you do here and those contributing with the newsletters.

All that info is great, but I've read power sweep for many years and thier overall record is not a winning one. He has do many betting angles ( 4 stst, 3 star, underdog of the week, computer platlys and on and on times 5) it's hard not to have one win every now and then. Go back and compile his record over 15 years and you'll see he's lost in most of the games he's played. That goes Fir most tips sheets.

@BuzzKill thanks for posting these every week. I read them to get a recap and sense of where each team is at. It's about finding over/under valued teams. These aren't plays to follow.
