Coming back with picks shortly
Baseball has started, today being opening day. As a handicapper, anyone who knows me knows that I live and die with data. I never start off well trying to use data from last year, so I usually don't post picks till May. I want to get a good feel for teams. I find that some bats take longer to warm up as do some pitchers, so I do not feel I have an advantage at this time.
I will be no longert associated with any groups selling picks, so I am free to post as I wish. I hope to get some chatter going on. I feel that we can all learn from each other and become better. So I invite anyone to add comments to this blog and reach out to me personally.
I can't discuss Basketball or Hockey at this time, but I all aboard for baseball.
About me for anyone who cares- I've been handicapping games for probably 10 years now. I love numbers, so I keep spreadsheets on all sports to see where I have an edge. I spend hours working on becoming better and eventually doing this full time. I recently signed to sell my picks to a group I cannot name, and I hated it. I felt that they were never being honest with their clients, and I didn't want to be associated. I was trying to make some extra cash, but it never worked out for me. For one, if I didn't like any games they pretty much forced me to pick one. There was also times where they would have us push a game just so they can try and get the line to move and middle it. I signed an agreement, and was stuck. It was not worth it for me.
I use to be the guy who would pay someone for their picks. I have never done well with anyone else long term. You can't really trust the guys out there. So I am back on my own, and I truly want to help others. I am not here trying to make an extra buck. I want to create a forum of guys like me, trying to do it on their own.
So please add comments and talk about games you like and why. I am curious on how some people can see an edge when the season starts.
I hope to make you guys better handicappers and hopefully some money as well.
