Not trying to be a jerk but at one time you said you were up a couple of hundred units, Not possible to verify that but so I signed up in Late October till December 27th and December 28th did another month. Do you count the juice in your net units plays? So I signed up on December 28th. I play all the plays $100 a unit which is small $400 a game. When my service ended for that month your record was 31-34-1. I lose $1200 on plays and $1360+ in juice. I realize paying to lose $2560 a month on your service for a month is not that much. I was going to sign up again but I thought I would wait. Since my subscription expired The plays are 2-5 before today. I have had the plays now for 90 days + and this is not good. I know most players don't care if they lose betting small amounts like me for $400 a game but the juice also adds up. Hopfully you win today and tomorrow. You start winning I will sign back up. Thanks

I can't control when people sign up or when we have an applications drawdown. It will always occur at some point each season. End of August +100 units, w eventually +180, November -52 units, end of December still +133 units overall for the year. Did long-term investment, marathon, not a short-term sprint.

[@captaincarl3940]

I figure after 100+ days and I have lost big for me is not a positive sign. I know betting $400 a game is small as to what these other guys that subscribe wager but the juice is a killer also. I quit betting the free plays for 1 unit.

Weekly returns since November 3rd. -9.92%, -15.2%, +2.28% , -5.8%, -28.72%, +10.8%, +7.8%, +22%, -14.7%, -23.72%, +9.5%, +1.4%, +6.08%, -11.56% . Net 3 month returns: around -49%

[@omlette9214]

SInce november 3rd 2024 if you followed every 4% play starting with a $10k bankroll and avg odds of -110 (generous) you would be down -$4k from vig alone despite ending up at 87-88 in that time period. He had two weeks of -28.7% and -23.7% returns.

[@stevemerril3086]

@@omlette9214 But of course you do not mention that the Best Bets were 303-234 +169% return for the 10 months prior (Jan. 1- Nov.2). Very misleading to randomly pick Nov. 2 as a start date after clients had already doubled their bankroll in less than a year.

[@captaincarl3940]

Do these free plays make money? I have lost on the Paid Plays since December 28th

[@stevemerril1485]

And the 4 weeks prior we're up over +20 units in December, and +133 for the year 2024, might want to take a more realistic investment approach than just one month.

[@stevemerril1485]

Of course you don't mention 30-12 NFL run the last 2 months or the fact we were still +133 units in 2024 overall All-Sports. Always going to be certain sports that over or under perform in a short-term sample, that's why you play everything equally and have a bankroll with proper money management. Your choice if you want to take a long-term investment approach.
