Since Phil Steele/Todd/NC always state their records using ONLY those services which have won and chosen over VERY SHORT TERM time frames, ie

only that which makes the look far better than their lousy record and actually winning, I decided to give them a taste of their own medicine

using that which makes them look like the LOSING service they are.

I went back over the last five weeks(not counting this one as it is not complete), which were all losing ones and came up with the deficits.

Here they are working backward:

MINUS $1314

MINUS $419

MINUS $1300

MINUS $2834

MINUS $519

This adds up to an astounding MINUS $6386 lost in just five weeks at $100 a unit!!!

Thus if they should have a winning week this week(which seems like it is overdue), don't be impressed by any bs that Todd throws your way because

all it is going to do is make a small dent in the $6386 deficit unless of course they hit just about all of their Late Phones, which will reduce the massive

deficit a bit more.

From what I can see and according to the SM, the star rated plays, which is what are use in recaps, split out yesterday.

We won't know how they did with the six game sides and totals yesterday until later when Hopefully tells us for the simple reason

that the SM only accepts star rated plays and the Marquees and not simple opinions, had to pick, etc.

Ok here we go with the recap of the comp. message and really not all that much to recap.

Todd confirms they went 1-1 with star rated plays and confirms the Marquees which were posted yesterday(after games started).

Nowhere on tape does he say how the OTHER LOWER RATED PLAYS DID.

This tells me 1) that they lost or broke even at best and 2) that unless someone states what these other plays were as well as the lower rated ones do in

future games (if not posted), it will be impossible to say how the 40 Bowl sides and 40 Bowl totals ended up doing overall.

Executive service for today and tomorrow for the NFL combined costs $75.

THE PRO PLAY OF THE WEEK IS WASHINGTON + 1.

It should be noted that this was given out as the Early Bird Play on Monday at Washington - 2 1/2, meaning that NC guessed wrong as to how the line would

move during the week.

3.5* Arizona +9

GREAT NEWS FOR THOSE WHO FOLLOW AND PLAY THE NC LATE PHONES ACCORDING TO SCALE.

If Arizona covers in their game against Seattle, it will mean that NC will be 4-1 on the week, meaning that even if Dallas and whoever they have for tomorrow

night fail to cover, it will still be a winning week at 4-3.

This will mean that the five week LOSING STREAK with the Late phones is over during which they amassed a truly incredibly horrible

and documented deficit of 6386 units or MINUS $6386 at $100 a unit.

If they win the last two games, they might even chop the deficit down to below $6000!!!

You NC lovers should really be "excited" about this possibility!!!!:hahahahah

NC goes 2-1 and finally clinches a winning week after five consecutive LOSING ones.

I am quite sure Todd will embellish the winning week and make it sound better than it is, which in essence all it did was chop off a relatively tiny amount of the

$6400 lost in the five weeks prior.

Back later.

The comp. message was just as I figured.

Todd tells us what a nice weekend and Sunday it was and does accurate recap.

No mention naturally that they have many miles to go before they can possibly makeup the five horrible weeks preceding it and the massive losses/overall deficit.

THE EARLY BIRD PLAY OF THE WEEK IS NEW ORLEANS - 13.

Oh yes-typical/standard Monday Night pricing is in effect.

One quick comment to make sure that I am clear in my intent here.

Although I concentrate on Phil Steele/NC only, I want everyone to understand that my intent. goes way beyond exposing NC for the crappy service

they are, ie for both their picks and scandalous manner in which they operate.

My hopes are that those reading my commentary will also by implication let people realize that lots of sports services do what NC does.

In fact, imo at least as far as the records go, the latter are far worth.

For example NC is usually around the 50% each year and yet has amassed around a 24k deficit in four years.

Thus try to imagine how much one would be behind if instead of NC someone had invested in another service which hits 40-45% of their plays(and there

are plenty believe me!).

As I see it, the handicapping industry is fraught with liars/con artists and just as importantly who can't "pick their nose" let alone the games right.

When you consider that some of these services charge a hefty fee for their services, the bottom line is to be careful and/for the most part just stay away

unless of course you like losing.

The other advice is that you do happen to get lucky with a service over the short term, for the most part don't hang around at the party too

long, because based on my following these services for over 40 years, gambling even longer than that, and knowing how gambling works,

in the overwhelming number of cases you will give back your profits and a lot more!

you will give back your profits and a lot more!!

ot I was going to go into the particular thread where I saw it and comment but thought better of it and decided to post it here as a general

comment which applies to all sports services.

My point is that if you see a record posted which seems too good to be true and especially if it goes back a number of years and involves a service

you never heard of, beware unless there is some INDEPENDENT documentation from a respected source.

And no that doesn't include documentation from the site of the service.

Lets just say simply in its own way that is akin and makes as much sense as the fox guarding the hen house.

For those who give a "Scrooge McSteele," NC has a 3 star rated play on Marshall and a Marquee on the UNDER.

For those who are interested in such minutiae, it looks like I spoke too soon yesterday when Ii said NC had clinched a winning week even if they lost today.

When I said that, I assumed that their only star rated play would be on tonight's game which would be of no consequence as far as breaking

the five week losing streak.

However that no longer holds as they had a 3* LOSER this afternoon on Marshall.

Thus instead of being up 5.9 unit going into tonight, with today's loss they are ahead only 2.6 units.

Now a 2 unit loss tonight or 2.2 units would not in itself put them in the red.

However I computed the cheapest cost of service to get all of the star rated college sides and

totals as well all of the star rated NFL Plays this week as 2.6 units, meaning that they will lose for the SIXTH CONSECUTIVE WEEK should the pick

lose.

Stay tuned for the high drama to see whether NC can finally for a week for a change. lol

Ok-hot off the press from the SM.

The two star rated play is GB and the Marquee is UNDER.
