The gap between 50-53-55% is IMMENSE

Yes it is.

The difference pays the house

50% is what the average dolt should get picking randomly.

with the vig the average dolt needs 53% to break-even.

55% gets you into the house money

You lost $1500 so far at 47%.

You're the rube at the table.

You're paying the house's rent.

An ENTIRE SLATE - 250+ games - at 55% vs the spread?  Please.  That's epic.

39 of the top 71 handicappers this year are under 55% - and they only have to pick their top 2 games each week

And self-reported.

I'm told Trump won a huge victory, too, Kid.

That would be above average (50% and slightly into the money)

And your 47% through week 10 is below average and has produced a loss of around $1500.

If I use your demonstrated 25 years of incompetence in sports handicapping as a guide I would say its improbably you would pick 55% for a full season.

and you are lying.

Though given enough years and enough monkeys and enough typewriters a monkey will eventually type Romeo & Juliet.

If I were to draw a normal distribution of 71 anythings, 35 would be above and 35 below the mean.

Your 39 # tells me little of your select universe of 71 handicappers.

Were 32 of the top 71 above 55% but hundreds of non-top handicappers between 40 and 50%?

You've presented meaningless #s. 

If you are insinuating you are a top handicapper, you are not.

Not remotely close.

You do not have the skills.

You're just a monkey banging at a typewriter.

I know.

But diligence alone is not enough.

And it explains in part your below average handicapping skills and poor results,

Just 1 example  - finding out Russ was 8-1 on Thursday nights - now 9-1 - after the game ended.

Thinking on the given numbers does not guarantee success of course as many pros show each week/year

I pick the games quite quickly and for fun.  And you play your role - in a need to diminish it as much as you can. 

Fail.

Kid I bust your balls because you serially misrepresent and lie about your picks and have for years.

if you could own your mistakes no one would begrudge you your wins.

But you can't.

You're too weak to admit your mistakes.

Its obvious you pick games quickly and without much thought or analysis.

It is just a game, but you applied $ to your picks and presented as if you were smart money.

But that wasn't close to true.

You are not Sam Ace Rothstein nor Jimmy the Greek

Just Timmy the very weak and stupid.

Zero analysis of the games.  100% analysis of kid's picks.
