Memo to genius (wiz12668) - Bet Like a Pro has been running for more than one f'ing day. Up about 20 units YTD and 140 or so since inception. Of course results are going to look bad if you look at the single worst day in isolation.
I dont track it religiously but ANY system or approach based on INVALID foundation makes it ALL invalid. Garbage in garbage out as the old saying goes.
If you cant possibly get down the amounts claimed here then how can you possibly win (or lose) that much. So it does go both ways. So units won (or lost) are going to be based on completely mythical amounts and thus completely invalid.
Its one thing to give a laundry list of plays for people to keep track of but the whole premise of Bet Like a Pro is it is supposed to represent what a professional bettor is able to do on a given day or given bet. So it has to in the very least represent bets that one can make in the real world. Which anyone with half a brain and has ever made a bet in there life knows is impossible in that bolded play. Now you might be able to hit it a few times for a couple hundred bucks, but eventually its going to move off that 3 (at least the vig, and more than likely the spread) if you put 15 max level bets on an overnight number.
I understand its all make believe but the fact comptrbob has been asked to track it to give it some legitimacy you MUST also bring in the reality of what you can realistically expect to happen. Its one thing to throw numbers and results out and claim a certain amount of 'success' It is totally another to have that actually represent reality.
I said it in one of my first posts in this thread, that simply keeping score wasnt enough. If you want to legitimize this program it has to actually be realistic in ALL aspects.
Saying you can get $3000 on a WNBA overnight is like saying you can bet 50K on an MLB baseball game. It just isnt going to happen whether you have the funds or not.
