Well looks like you are approaching 700 picks and up 27 units. Too bad you didn't have the dime.
Do people just not like the idea that he is posting his picks on another site instead of the rx? I have no comment on that but I wonder do you guys still think Jake doesn't know anything about baseball?
It's hard to calculate significance when all the picks aren't the same juice like in other sports, but 1400 picks is a very large sample size and unless he got lucky on a large number of huge dogs I would say that is enough to show that it is not random chance that he got those results. That means he is in fact playing with an advantage.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Tekari, the problem is the way Jake cheats on the numbers he is posting. If he says he played a line at -115 when the actual line was -110, in the long run he'll likely be up assuming he's just flipping a coin.
For example, I took Atlanta -133 last night. However, for a brief period last night I could have gotten the Braves at -129 at Pinnacle. If I was interested in padding my record, I would simply say "Braves at -129". If my bet comes through it doesn't matter. If it loses, I saved 4 cents.
Jake has done this all along; his entire profit is likely the product of shading the lines his way when he posts his picks.
