The 2019 Phil Steele/Northcoast Picks, Record Documentation, Commentary and Discussion Thread

[savage1]

For now the EB Play of the Week is Iowa - 23 1/2.
Back later.

Very little else to report today.

Todd is honest about yesterday and the entire weekend. and the disappointing record.

The cost of the Monday Night Magic Play(for those who don't have a package) is $30 with guarantee(ie $30 added back into your account to buy plays but NOT

actual cash) or $20 with no guarantee.

The Marquee cost $12.

In consideration of the overall shitty weekend, how about $20 for the play and $20 given back IN CASH if it loses!

Or better yet, imo if Phil was a mensch, he would simply give away both the Monday Night Magic Play and the Marquee for free to all PS subscribers who got

the losing Five Star for free as well as anyone who paid for the play separately as well as anyone who bought any kind of weekend

package and who also lost.

Then again, as anyone like me who has followed Phil Steele/NC for years knows, that is not the modus operandi of NC, which is to sweep the past weekend

under the rug and at best offer a cheesy/crappy worthless guarantee instead like the one tonight.

Correction in post 161-you actually get back $40 in credit than $30 if you pay $30 for the guaranteed play and it loses.

How about throwing in lunch date with Phil Steele if the game loses so that he can tell you his life's story which has been 100% "successful" in

all of his many accomplishments as well as being the best handicapper on the planet.

 

[savage1]

For the record according to the SM, NC had a 2* on the Bears tonight.

Ok here we got with the summary of today's comp. messages aling with with the weekly and cumulative


recaps:

ext.9-We get the usual Phil Steele/"Prince Spaghettti Day" PowerPlays bullshit, lies and pump we get

every Tuesday.

THE POWERPLAY COMP PLAY IS A 4 STAR ON LOUISIANA LAFAYETTE - 3/1/2.

Oh yes PowerSweep goes back again to $99-I guess no one wants it at $109-how shocking. lol

Ext.3-As expected it is announced that the NFL GOM goes Sunday with more one sided bragging about

how well these plays have done with VERY SELECTIVE TIME FRAMES,

which always defines sleazy Phil Steele/NC.

Today's "Dinner Special" is Full Executive Service for the non PS subscriber $289, which includes

everything that NC puts out including the NFL GOM.

There is also more selective bragging about how the college totals for this season.

There is no statement as you will see in a moment that overall even with the 9-1 college record a week

ago in college football, with this week's overall shitty performance, NC is actually in the red for the

season.

THE UNDERDOG COMP OF THE WEEK IS BAYLOR + 3.

Now to the recaps(don't ask me how/why it is in green rather than red or how it got indented lol)

Week Four:

College (sides and totals):5-6 with 8.2 units lost.

Pros-2-2 with 1.1 units LOST.


Overall 9.3 units were lost or $930 at $100 a unit counting


juice.


Cost of the service for a non PS subscriber was $320($150 for


Saturday sides, $75 for totals, $75 for Sunday NFL and $20


for Monday night Star Rated play).


Thus adding in the cost figure, it can be seen that 12.5 units

were lost in Week Four or MINUS $1250.

Cumulative:

College 22-17 with 6.75 units GAINED.

Pros-7-5 with .9 units GAINED.

Adding these two numbers, it is seen that so far 7.65 units

have been gained or $765 at $100 a unit

Factoring the total of service costs so far of $910, it can be

seen that the Late Phones are MINUS 1.45 units or MINUS

$145 on the season.

Only extension 9 today as it always is for Wednesday, the "soup of the day" is talk about/pump the Economy Club.

As usual we are teased that some of these midweek plays(12 in college and 5 in pros)many times go onto become Late Phone Plays.

As I have said before these plays are just one more gimmick to try to get money out of you as well as something to brag about should they win and all of the other

zillion types of plays lose.

The "pricing special" for today is that a non PS subscriber can get the NFL GOM alone for $75 or all three of the Sunday selections along with the Monday Night

Marquee for $100.

THE ECONOMY #2 PLAY OF THE WEEK IS BC + 6 1/2.

No update on ext. 3 until tomorrow.

 

[savage1]

The "Dinner Specials" have been posted for today on the NC Menu for today:

Ext. 9-As usual Thursday is what I deem to be Ron Jeremy/Big Dong/Dog Day, and it doesn't disappoint.

The big dogs are featured and can be obtained for $12 total.

Then its on to Special #2, which consists of all the college totals and some Marquees sprinkled in for $75 for a non PS subscriber.

Thats it-THE BIG DOG PLAY OF THE WEEK IS INDIANA + 14.

Ext. 3-Tonight's two Marquees can be obtained for $12 apiece.

The other "Special" is that all of the Saturday sides(but not totals) and NFL sides including the GOM and some Marquees for $200..

Thus unless they combine the specials offered on ext. 9 and 3 and offer a further discount by buying both of them, so far the cost is $275,

and probably $20 for the Monday Night Magic Play for a total of $295.

We will have to wait until tomorrow or Saturday to see if Phil/NC "sweetens" the deal. lol

THE NFC TOTALS PLAY OF THE WEEKS IS OVER WASINGTON 49.

Northcoast

Thursday Marquee Navy +11

Hopefully we will have the other Mar "quees"(my ass) pick soon.

 

[Equalizer1414]

NFL marquee is on Green Bay

NFL marquee is on Green Bay

Thanks for that.

I see it has now been posted at the SM.

 

[savage1]

Not a good night for the Phil Steele/NC Bullshit Mass Marketing Machine as they go 0-2 with their two Marquees.

 

[savage1]

Pretty fast today.

Ext. 9-Todd recaps the two losses yesterday and laments the last minute backdoor cover on navy which should have occurred but did not.

He repeats the same message/promo as yesterday for the college totals.

THE BIG TEN PLAY OF THE WEEK IS PURDUE + 1 1/2.

Food for thought:

On Sunday Phil/NC always releases NFL three star rated plays and a couple of Marquees and some opinions for those who have Executive Service.

For most games nothing is offered.

Wit that in mind why is it that each and every Monday when there is just one NFL Game(except for Week One), there is ALWAYS a two star rated play(which is almost

always a side and a Marquee, which is invariably a total.

My point is that in reality ad looking at Sunday, shouldn't there at least be some weeks when nothing qualifies as a Star Rated and/or Marquee Play and

that NC should merely offer an opinion at no charge for those who want something to bet on?

Inexplicable stuff like this is one of the many reasons why I and lots of other folks regard Phil Steele/NC as a mass marketing company scam whose prime

intent is to extort as much money out of as many clients as possible no matter what it takes on their end to do so.

 

[savage1]

Here is another example of the kind of the deceptive marketing bs/lies I am talking about.

From the headlines of this week's PowerSweep:

NFL POWER SWEEP H BASIS 52-10-4 (84%) LAST 8 WEEKS!!
NFL GAME OF THE MONTH GOES SUNDAY!!
COLLEGE LATE PHONE TOTALS NOW 25-6 (81%) L3Y!!

77-16 tries to vie one the impression that they are hitting at 83% of their plays-yeah right!!

I stated last year which the eight week encompasses when the record was even better on a percentage basis than it is now that

the now alleged 52-10 record was bullshit-nothing has changed.

Most importantly note how they go out of their way to HIDE this year's record and try to conveniently blend it into a better time frame

to make themselves look good.

This is the kind of sleazy advertising that has always defined Phil Steele/NC in an attempt to portray themselves overall as one of the best out there,

whereas my documentation has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that their Late Phone Plays, which are by far their most important plays,

have lost for three consecutive years(when I started docmenting) and are already slightluy behind for this season.

If sports services were licensed and regulated and were required to be 100% truthful and honest or at the very least lose their license to

operate, Phil Steele/NC would be among the fist to lose theirs!!

 

[savage1]

For the record the Marquee was PSU according to
the SM.
No need to pay NC not anyone else for that obvious and easy winner.

 

[savage1]

Here you go until the plays are hopefully posted:

Ext. 9-The same usual Saturday pricing for totals-$75 for all or 50 for top one.

$12 total for all three Marquees.

THE TOTALS COMP. OF THE WEEK IS UNDER GEORGIA TECH 47 1/2.

Ext. 3-No change again-$100 for all side plays or $50 for top lay.

THE COLLEGE COMP. PLAY OF THE WEEK IS AKRON -7.

 

[savage1]

So far

Northcoast Marquees

Cincinnati -4

Troy -7

Over 61 1/2 SMU/USF
​

 

[savage1]

FWIW-I can't remember ever not havng the Saturday plays by this time in the day.

The two possibilities are: 1)that the NC subscribers are more loyal than ever and out of respect for Phil/NC won't post them.

2) That virtually no one buys the plays meaning that it much more likely that the plays will not post the plays.

I know what option I chose.

Hopefully later we will get the plays albeit some of them may have started or even be over by the time we get them.

ps I have to out for a while-if anyone sees the plays posted in main service thread or elsewhere, please feel free to post them here.

 

[Equalizer1414]

I’ve seen top side is Vandy and top total is ODU/ECU under.

 

[savage1]

I’ve seen top side is Vandy and top total is ODU/ECU under.

Thanks-I see now that since game has started, SM lists Vandy as their top college side.

Nothing yet posted on any of other games including the ODU games most likely meaning that they haven't started yet.
