Our positive unit position is rapidly being eroded by our baseball picks. We are passing today and the next few days till the end of interleague play. We don't have to give out a pick every day. Don't be a degenerate gambler, you might want to take a break like us till the betting environment is more favorable.
Stu Feiner has taken down customer comments from their website. People seem to be incredibly pissed off. One customer actually was posting comments last night during the Celtics/Lakers game complaining of sharp pains up his arms and trouble breathing, the classic signs of a heart attack. If he doubled his bets six times and took the Lakers for the series, Stu's customer has more to worry about than just his physical health. We hope that gentleman called the paramedics and survived.
HBO's "Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel" did a five-month investigation investigating scam sports gambling tout services. HBO matched a two-year-old girl named Rachel and a dog named Casey against Stu Feiner, according to Chicago Tribune columnist Michael Hirsley. The dog's choices were made by Casey eating from dishes with team names on them. All three projected winners from 50 baseball games. The dog was 26-24, the two-year old child was 28-22, and Feiner was 25-25.
WARNING - Do not give Stu Feiner your credit card information. HBO did a special last year on how Stu Feiner ripped a guy off for $60,000 thru credit cards and Western Union. He has been fined by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs for deceptive advertising practices, according to the New York Post.
Take the Boston Celtics -4 at home over the LA Lakers as our Tuesday play of the day, 6:00 PM Pacific starting time. Its also our NBA Playoff Lock of the Year. Stu Feiner has released the LA Lakers as his 4,000,000 dime play tonight. That makes the Celtics a lock! Stu is like a broken record, losing five (now six after tonight) in a row in this playoff series betting the Lakers. His idea of money management is to double your bet after each loss. Even Stu admits its bad money management. Everyone is invited to the banquet we have planned in Stu's honor. We have scheduled Mike Warren to be the Master of Ceremonies. Pants required. Good luck on the Celtics, but you won't need luck as Stuie is on the other side!
RESULTS: Easy cover on the Boston Celtics. Stu Feiner loses six in a row and is down a whopping 7,850,00 dimes on the series. Of course, we bet opposite his pick tonight which is called a fade. We knew the Boston Celtics bet was solid. It was obvious to anyone who has been following this series. Pity Feiner's gullible clients who followed him down the road to ruin, upping their bets after each loss. Folks: Never pay for a pick! Anyone, and I mean anyone, can do a better job handicapping than Stu Feiner. All he does well is salesmanship, selling dreams and delivering misery.
"Mike Warren is a pathetic handicapper and a tremendous con artist," says Feiner. Says Warren, "Stu Feiner? He's got a big mouth, always talking big. He knows this hoodlum and that hoodlum-gonna break my legs. You know what? He can't break an egg. I gave him my address. He's so short, the only thing he can reach is my legs."

Stu's Trophy For Losing So Much Money, Awarded to him by the Las Vegas Sports Book Association:
Take the St. Louis Cardinals +106 at home over the Philadelphia Phillies as the Friday play of the day, game time starts at 5:15 PM Pacific. Good luck!
Money Management: Stu Feiner has been running a handicapping service since 1982. In that time you would of thought he might of learned something about money management. But no, nada. Folks, don't be a loser. Don't be a degenerate. Don't be a Stu Feiner. Listen to this video where he tells his customers to bet it all, on a game he lost.He followed that tragedy up yesterday by telling his customers to double up on his Million Dime Play, which lost as well. He says he is no scamdicapper, but he has studied psychology and plays off peoples greed. He tells people to bet it all so he can sell them his service. No talk about good money management, just how big the game is going to win by. He obviously does not care about his customers or their money or health, in our opinion, he is the worst scamdicapper out there.
-----
Question asked to Stu Feiner: "Here is the million dollar question. If you are as good as you claim to be with your picks why do you need to sell them?"
Stu Feiners answer: "This is the only way I can make money. When I bet on games I end up losing because I don’t have the discipline to stick to my system and my money management sucks. In fact I don’t bet at all because anytime I start betting I lose control. I bet on my favorite teams, games that are on TV, basically anything. I bet the board. Back in the early 80’s I was getting killed because I’d chase losses and bookies gave me credit and saw that I was an earner so they gave me unlimited credit. The result is that you chase losses and bet games you wouldn’t ordinarily bet. All gamblers are like this. I’ve never met a gambler who has made money. Everybody loses. Some people say they win but they’re lying. The best way for me to make a living was to quit cold turkey and only give away my cold calculated picks. And rooting for my picks is enough action anyway."
-----
Lessons we can learn from Stu Feiner: Never bet more money than you can afford to lose. Set aside a separate amount of money for sports gambling and then bet a percentage of that gambling bankroll. If you are winning 60% of your games, bet say 20% of your bankroll on each game. If you win - your bets go up, if you lose - your bets go down. You can never lose 100% of your bankroll. Never make a parlay bet or a money line bet. Never bet heavy favorites in baseball (over -150). Never pay for a pick as that just adds to your cost.
If you double your bankroll, take your original fund balance off the table. Now you are working off the casino's money, so to speak. If you get on a big winning streak and are way ahead and you start losing, take some profits off the table. If you get on a losing streak your bets are automatically going down. That is the opposite of Gamblers Ruin. Gamblers Ruin is where you keep upping your bets when you lose, what Stu Feiner did this week or cutting back your bets when you are on a winning streak. Let your profits run is the old adage. The thing about sports gambling is its real streaky. You can take advantage of that with proper money management. Folks, don't be a Feiner (degenerate loser)!
He realizes after he made the video that he actually lost the baseball bet too because of the rules on suspended games. He lost it in the next days video!! Here is a link to the next days video:
Christopher Walken: "I was eating in a restaurant in Singapore, and an Asian couple was at the next table, and the guy turned to me and he said, 'Chris, you know what this salad needs?' I said, 'What?' He said, 'More cowbell.'
From Wikipedia: "More cowbell" is an American pop culture catchphrase originally derived from an April 8, 2000, Saturday Night Live comedy sketch fictionalizing the recording of the song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" by Blue Öyster Cult. The sketch featured guest host Christopher Walken as fictional music producer Bruce Dickinson (not to be confused with the Iron Maiden singer of the same name, or Jim Dickinson, an actual record producer of the same last name) and Will Ferrell, who wrote the sketch, as fictional cowbell player Gene Frenkle. In the television special Saturday Night Live: 101 Most Unforgettable Moments, this sketch is moment number five.
Bruce Dickinson.....Christopher Walken Eric Bloom.....Chris Parnell Buck Dharma.....Horatio Sanz Alan.....Chris Kattan Bobby.....Jimmy Fallon Gene Frenkle.....Will Ferrell
Announcer: After a series of staggering defeats, Blue Oyster Cult assembled in the recording studio in late 1976 for a session with famed producer Bruce Dickinson. And, luckily for us, the cameras were rolling.
[ dissolve to recording studio ]
Bruce Dickinson: Alright, guys, I think we're ready to lay this first track down. By the way, my name is Bruce Dickinson. Yes, the Bruce Dickinson. And I gotta tell you: fellas.. you have got what appears to be a dynamite sound!
Eric Bloom: Coming from you, Bruce, that means a lot.
Buck Dharma: Yeah. I mean, you're Bruce Dickinson!
Alan: This is incredible!
Bobby: I can't believe Bruce Dickinson digs our sound!
Bruce Dickinson: Easy, guys.. I put my pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make gold records. [ the group laughs ] Alright, here we go. "Fear... Don't Fear the Reaper" -- take one. Roll it [ he exits into the control booth ]
Eric Bloom: Alright! One, two, three, four...
[ The group starts the song: "All our times have come…Here but now they're gone..." -- Bobby slaps the drums, Eric jams his guitar, and Gene bangs on a cowbell. ]
Eric Bloom: [ distracted by Gene banging the cowbell ] Okay! Wait! Wait! Stop! [ the group cuts off their instruments ] Um, Bruce, could you come in here for a minute, please?
Bruce Dickinson: [ stepping out of the booth ] That... that was gonna be a great track. Guys, what's the deal?
Eric Bloom: Uh, are you sure that was sounding okay?
Bruce Dickinson: I'll be honest.. fellas, it was sounding great. But.. I could've used a little more cowbell. So.. let's take it again.. and, Gene?
Gene Frenkle: Yeah?
Bruce Dickinson: Really explore the studio space this time.
Gene Frenkle: You got it, Bruce.
Bruce Dickinson: I mean, really.. explore the space. I like what I'm hearing. roll it.
[ the group starts the song again, as Gene bangs more wildly onto the cowbell, gyrating his exposed belly. In the booth, Walken is smiling to keep from laughing. Before the session is interrupted, Gene misses a beat on his cowbell.]
Eric Bloom: Okay, wait! Stop! Stop! Bruce, I'm sorry, could you come back in here, please?
Bruce Dickinson: [ stepping out of the booth ] Fellas.. now, we just wasted two good tracks! This last one was even better than the first!
Eric Bloom: Well, it's just that I find Gene's cowbell playing distracting! I don't know, if I'm the only one, I'll shut up.
Buck Dharma: Nah, it was pretty rough.
Gene Frenkle: You know, I could pull it back a little, if you'd like.
Bruce Dickinson: Not too much, though! I'm telling you, fellas -- you're gonna want that cowbell on the track!
Gene Frenkle: You know what? It's fine. Let's just do the thing.
Bruce Dickinson: Okay, Roll it.
Eric Bloom: One, two, three, four...
[ the band starts the song once more, with Gene banging the cowbell right next to Eric's ear until Eric pushes him, knocking over the microphone and causing Horatio Sanz to fall ]
Eric Bloom: [ stopping the song again, fighting Gene ] COME ON, GENE!!
Gene Frenkle: NO, YOU COME ON!!
Bruce Dickinson: [ running out of the booth again ] Guys, y’ know…that…that…it doesn't work for me. I gotta have more cowbell!
Alan: [ grabs Gene's shirt ] Don't blow this for us, Gene!
Bobby: [ cracks up ] Quit... quit being so selfish, Gene!
Gene Frenkle: Can I just say one thing?
Bruce Dickinson: Sure, baby! Just say it!
Gene Frenkle: I'm standing here, staring at rock legend Bruce Dickinson!
Bruce Dickinson: The cock of the walk, baby!
Gene Frenkle: And if Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell, we should probably give him more cowbell!
Bruce Dickinson: Say it, baby!
Gene Frenkle: And, Bobby, you are right - I am being selfish. But the last time I checked, we don't have a whole lot of songs that feature the cowbell.
Bruce Dickinson: I gotta have more cowbell, baby!
Gene Frenkle: And I'd be doing myself a disservice -- [begins to slightly laugh. Jimmy Fallon turns away and bites down on his drumstick to keep from laughing] and every member of this band, if I didn’t perform the HELL out of this!
Bruce Dickinson: Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription.. is more cowbell!
Gene Frenkle: Thank you, Bruce. But I think if... I think if I just leave... and maybe I'll come back later, and we can lay down the cowbell. [ starts to leave the studio ]
Bruce Dickinson: Aw, come on, baby..
Eric Bloom: Gene, wait! Why don't you lay down that cowbell right now. With us. Together.
[ long pause while Gene looks around at the band ]
Gene Frenkle: Do you mean that, Eric?
Eric Bloom: Oh, yeah.
Buck Dharma: He speaks for all of us.
Gene Frenkle: Thank you.
Bruce Dickinson: Babies.. before we're done here.. y'all be wearing gold-plated diapers.
Alan: [ confused ] What does that mean?
Bruce Dickinson: Never question Bruce Dickinson! Roll it! [ exits back to booth ]
[ Gene picks up the fallen microphone and high-fives the drummer before getting into position ]
Eric Bloom: One, two, three, four...
[ the band starts up again, this time Frenkle is playing the cowbell in tune with the band. Close-up on Gene as he bangs the cowbell to freeze-frame with graphic: "In Memoriam: Gene Frenkle: 1950-2000" ]
Update: Tonight we are giving out a rare accolade. After urging his clients to bet it all on a previous game that he lost, Stu Feiner gave out the Lakers -7 1/2 tonight to his impoverished clients as his One Million Dime Play. Not only did the Lakers not cover, they lost outright. Stu Feiner has out surpassed the likes of Mike Warren and the other notorious scamdicappers to take our award as the WORST SPORTS HANDICAPPING SERVICE OF ALL TIME. Congratulations Stu Feiner, your award is well deserved.
Utes win! Our play of the day record is now a lousy 4-22-2.
We add Brandon Lovell and Sebastian to the Handicappers Wall of Shame:
From Brandon Lovell Website:
Thursday, October 04, 2007 BLANK CHECK GAME OF MY CAREER #11. Cubs vs Diamondback Must Win or 5 Days Free 10-0 With Blank Checks
----------------
From Sebastian Website Thursday, October 4, 2007:
100* Playoff Game of the Year
64-36-6 in football!!(+792 units!) FINALLY some BIG plays!! 100*baseball play(10pm start). REST OF FIRST ROUND ALL SERIES FREE if this game does not cash!!!
----------------
Both Brandon Lovell (he was asking $99 for this crap play) and Sebastian (he charged $79 for this play) had the Cubbies for the second game of the series on Thursday night. Again they do a disservice to the betting public by hyping what should be no more than a 10 dime (or unit) bet into some kind of "Play of the Year", after the Diamondbacks had already beat the Cubs in the first game. Where you uncomfortable on this bet too? Did you see the Cubs opening pitcher Lilly throw his glove to the ground. Hope no one lost too much money on this over hyped game. Brandon Lovell and Sebastian deserve a placard on the Handicappers Wall of Shame with Mike Warren.

Handicappers Wall of Shame - The A List:
Article written by Tom Somach from the Las Vegas Sporting News
Everyone loves Top 10 lists.
But Today We Have --- THE BOTTOM 10 --- SO STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMDICAPPERS...
So who are the Bottom 10 scamdicappers in the business?
MIKE WARREN SPORTS, BALTIMORE, MD. --- Look up "scamdicapper" in the dictionary and you'll find Mike Warren's picture. He's the badest of the bad, the most disrespected and disreputable sports handicapper of them all. He also couldn't pick a winner if his life depended on it. He recently scammed an elderly Korean War veteran in Buffalo out of big bucks by making bogus claims about his touting ability. Before that, Warren was fined by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs for deceptive advertising practices, according to the New York Post. Warren also bilked people when he ran the now-bankrupt "Psychic Hotline," a telephone service that charged callers to speak to fortune tellers. Mike Warren isn't even honest about his real name, which is actually Michael Warren Lasky.
AGAINST THE SPREAD (ATS) CONSULTANTS, BALTIMORE, MD. --- This outfit is the second-worst tout service in America, almost as bad as Mike Warren Sports. And guess who runs ATS? Robert Lasky, nephew of Mike (Warren) Lasky. The complaints about ATS have been numerous, including allegations of credit card fraud, sneaky telemarketing scams and phone pager bait-and-switch scams and the bilking of a set of Iowa twins out of nearly $200,000.
JIM HURLEY'S NETWORK, JERICHO, N.Y. --- The third worst tout service out there. And, to no one's surprise, it's also run by a Lasky, in this case Brian Lasky, brother of Mike (Warren) Lasky. "Jim Hurley" is Brian's alias and it's no wonder he uses one. The "Network" is a typical Lasky con operation that's more interested in (and talented at) ripping off customers than picking winners. But then again, scamdicapping is the family business if you're the Lasky family. Brian also employs some of the rudest clerks in the business.
STU FEINER(Your Source), FARMINGDALE, N.Y. --- After the Lasky Boys, Stu Feiner is the biggest scamdicapper around. Sometimes called Mr Lisp because of his Speech problems. He too has been fined by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs for deceptive advertising practices, according to the New York Post. He also has the distinction of having run the most annoying scamdicapper commercials ever seen on television: his shouting about his touting made one want to shoot the TV screen. HBO did a special last year on how STU FEINER ripped a guy off for $60,000 thru credit cards and Western Union.
KEVIN DUFFY(aka THE LIVING LEGEND), FARMINGDALE, N.Y. --- What is it about the scamdicapping business that makes it run in families? Kevin has earned the nickname COFFEE CAKES because of his terrible ACNE problem, but what is Worse than his looks are his outrageous claims to HIT 85% of his picks. But just like Stu, Kevin makes outrageous claims about what little handicapping success he has. That's why Duffy has also been fined by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs for deceptive advertising practices, according to the New York Post. What specifically did Duffy do to earn the fines? The same thing Mike Warren and Stu Feiner did: he ran newspaper ads which contained phony claims about his success in picking winners.
JACK PRICE, LOS ANGELES, CALIF. --- Next on our list of the Bottom 10 is Jack Price. This guy looks like a Walking GORILLA. A former Price employee told the RGT Wager Watchdog that Price's picks are often made by flipping a coin. Price, whose real name is Mark Meghrouni, also used to run Paradise Casino, an offshore sports book in Curacao that went out of business. Last year, Price pled guilty in Federal Court to money laundering and tax evasion charges, paid millions of dollars in fines and back taxes and had a house and car confiscated, according to the Associated Press. In addition, Price was sued by former NFL players John Brodie and Deacon Jones for fraudulent use of the football players' names in connection with a Price tout service.
DAN PASTORINI, HOUSTON, TEX.--Yes, it's the former Houston Oilers quarterback, running his own tout service. Last fall, Pastorini had to run an apology in USA Today, saying he does not use "inside" sources from the NFL to make picks for his tout service. The NFL had sued Pastorini after he made such claims in an earlier USA Today ad.
ED HOROWITZ, NEW YORK, N.Y. --- This guy calls himself "The Professor." According to a story in Sports Illustrated, he is a former cocaine addict who was once arrested in New York on gambling charges. That's certainly someone you'd want to trust with your money, no?
JOHNNY DEMARCO, ATLANTA, GA. --- The real name of this scamdicapper is John L. Edens. According to a story in Sports Illustrated, he told people who called his free 800 line to call his for-a-charge 900 line for picks, and if the picks lose, there is no charge. That's a lie, however, because once a 900 number is called, the charge is automatic. He once claimed to have gotten inside info from a college basketball coach, but the coach denied speaking to him. He also claimed his tout service was top-rated by a monitoring service, but declined to reveal he was associated with the monitoring service.
OTHER Scamerable Mentions: JOE WIZ from NY The DUKE from Baltimore MD Dr Ron Bash Jimmy the Fixer Mike Wynn's M&K Sports Mike Anthony Wayne Root Jim Feist Kelso Sturgeon
Article written by Tom Somach from the Las Vegas Sporting News
Seattle Mike came thru for us with Kansas: Today he has the Oklahoma Sooners -3 visiting the Baylor Bears, 6:00 PM Pacific. Sooners are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings in Baylor. Good luck!
Take the LA Angels -154 with John Lackey listed as pitcher at home over the Minnesota Twins as the Thursday play of the day, 7:05 PM Pacific. Good luck!
Angels are 12-2 in Lackey's last fourteen starts. The Angels have beat Twins pitcher Scott Baker the last 3 times they've faced him: winning 10-1, 5-1, 6-3, while pounding him for 17 earned runs in just 15 innings pitched.
August Handicapping Disappointment: What the hell happened with Phil Steele of Northcoast Sports? He is usually pretty decent in preseason football but he sucks this year. As an example tonight he gave out the under in the 49ers/Bears game, an easy over, hell it was over at half time. What are you smoking there Phil? Steele is 5-11-1 on Marquee plays this preseason. Phil wants $3,800 for the executive service? If we gave him a nickel we would be the one smoking something. Phil's plays are posted for free on several forums, why we would pay for anything? But even getting his picks free, the way he has been handicapping we are gonna still be a big loser.
Small Town Handicapper Corner: After posting comments on U-Tube and having my comments immediately deleted, I had a short email exchange with one Bobby Clarke. He might be able to delete my comments from his U-Tube posts, but its pure free speech here. Now Bobby has a sports handicapping service called Bobby Clarke Sports. After comparing his very ethical operation, that he is running out of some small town back east, to the big city Farmingdale NY Stu Fiener's boiler room, I see some deficiencies in Mr. Clarke's operation. Namely:
1. He is monitored by the affable John Werner over at ParlayHelp.com. Bobby, how are you gonna lie about your record when you are being monitored?
2. Mr. Clarke only offers a few plays a day and has no clubs or other handicappers. How can you pick and choose to come up with the best record if you got no clubs Bobby, what are you thinking?
3. He posts his complete record of every play from day one to tonight on his website and shows the exact amount of money he is betting on each game instead of the Dime system like the Source Stu Fiener, aka Finer uses. Using real money Bobby? - hey that makes too much sense, where did you get that idea?
4. Bobby is charging $350 for the rest of the year in all sports and he serves up no hype or hard sell. His operation is very ethical. His parents must of sent him to Sunday School when he was young. I wonder if the Source went to Sunday School? Bobby must be from a small town charging so little, hell Stu Feiner charges $59.95 for his picks for a day and then hypes the hell out of them so his hapless clients overbet, all to line his fat pockets. Now our motto is NEVER PAY FOR A PICK, but i guess if you had to....Mr. Clarke's deal might be the best in town. (Hey if you buy his picks, at least post them here every day as a comment.)
Bobby Clarke looks like he is too young to drink but he seems to like beer where it appears Stu Feiner likes his grasshopper ganja and food. Bobby made a comment on his video that impressed us today....never take the run line on the favorite in a baseball game. When we walked into our favorite local legal sports book tonight, we heard the refrain: Take the Angels run line! BS we said! Take a look at all the games that won by one point today. For a small town guy, this Bobby Clarke might not be so dumb after all. At least he is winning. Maybe its all that fresh air and good beer.
Take the San Francisco Giants with Tim Lincecum listed -102 at home over the Detroit Tigers as the Monday play of the day, game time starts at 7:15 PM Pacific. Giants are 4-1 in Lincecums last 5 starts. Tigers are 0-7 in Verlanders last 7 road starts. Good luck!
6/15/2008 2,000,000 Dime Pick on the LA Lakers -7 LOST -2,000,000 6/12/2008 1,000,000 Dime Pick on the LA Lakers LOST -1,000,000 6/10/2008 500,000 Dime Pick on the LA Lakers LOST - 500,000 6/08/2008 250,000 Dime Pick LA Lakers/Over LOST - 250,000 6/05/2008 100,000 Dime Pick on LA Lakers LOST - 100,000
Total dimes lost last five NBA playoff plays -3,850,000
Stu's last five plays show incredibly poor money management. He urged his poor customers to double their bets each time. On his 6/10/2008 video he told them to bet everything, even borrow money to bet on the game. Listen to this sales pitch, he promises the moon to get $69 out of his gullible clients. The only good thing about that was they had no money left to bet on the next two losers he put out.
Take the Miami Heat -5 over the Atlanta Hawks as the Friday play of the Day, 5:00 PM Pacific. Miami are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games. Atlanta are 4-13 ATS in the last 17 meetings in Miami. Good luck!
Other Cappers: Stu Feiner has a 1000 Dime High Roller pick on LSU -3 at home over Florida, 6:00 PM Pacific. Results: Stu Feiner's pick covers. Jersey City Mike has a 100 dime play on Florida St +3.5 ( buy 1 pt) over Boston College, 6:00 PM Pacific. Jersey City Mike has been hot lately, going 7-1 on his last 8 plays. Results: Jersey City Mike's pick loses.

Stu Feiner Parody Video:
Bankroll Winner of the Week Twice in a Row the Last Two Weeks at Sports Monitor ParlayHelp.com, NO BS Sports Goes 2-0 Yesterday: "Document this, Bitch!" - John: the Stu Feiner parody video was ok, but I think you might have been a little too rough on Mr. Brian King in the parody video above.
Some Things Never Change Department: In his video today, Stu Feiner tells his $100 bettors they can bet $5,000 on this game. He says today "this should be the single biggest bet you have ever made in your life." Sad, as the Source gave out the loser, the Oklahoma Sooners. Reminds us of when Stu lost 7,850,000 dimes by doubling down six times on the LA Lakers playing against the Boston Celtics in the 2008 NBA Finals. After that disaster, Stu said he was going to rate plays between 5 and 100 dimes. But unfortunately for his hapless clients, Stu is not holding his bets in that range.
Take the Cleveland Cavaliers -12.5 at home over the Atlanta Hawks as the Thursday play of the day, 5:00 PM Pacific. Cleveland are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Good luck! Matchup.
Do People Actually Pay This Guy Department: Stu Feiner released his 10,000 dime (Stu: what happened to your 5 to 100 dime money management system?) High Roller Club Playoff GOY. Stu said it would cover by 3 touchdowns. Here is his video and the pitch for his "biggest play of the year, bet everything you own on it" play. But what was the 10,000 play you ask? Yep, you got it: Carolina. But no worries as The Source had a 2,500 Dime High Roller Club Mismatch play today as well. The problem was it was on Tennessee. Our condolences to Mr. Feiners now bankrupt clients.
Willie Nelson in the House! The Peppermill Hotel and Casino in Reno hosted a night with Willie Nelson in the new ballroom - a good night was had by all. Too bad Johnny Cash is no longer with us:
Take the underrated Pac 10 Champion Washington Huskies -6.5 over the Mississippi State Bulldogs as the Thursday play of the day, 1:55 PM Pacific. This game will be played in Portland, Oregon. Good luck! Matchup
Other Cappers: Stu Feiner has been real hot in college basketball lately. Yesterday his top two plays won. Today he has "Five 2500 Dime High Roller Double-Digit Covers", he is on a 23-6 run with these 2,500 dime games - they are: Washington -6 over Mississippi State win Minnesota (+4) vs Texas loss Michigan (+5) vs Clemson win American (+17) vs Villanova win Morgan State (+16) vs Oklahoma win Stu goes 3-2 on the day. Writeups on these games
Reno Economic Update: What is the Atlantis Casino in Reno worth today? Monarch Casino and Resorts, owner of the Atlantis Casino in Reno has a market value of $78,514,873 based on a closing price yesterday of $4.87 a share with 16,122,848 shares outstanding. $78 million seems a low valuation for the Atlantis, but that is what the stock market is telling us its worth as of yesterday. In 2007, when the share price got to over $30 a share and there were more shares outstanding, the Atlantis was valued at one time at over $557 million. That is a shocking drop of value of over $479 million or 86% in less that two years! The latest financial statements are here.Here is the five year stock chart. According to a news release from February 2008, the company repurchased in open market transactions 523,396 shares of the Company's common stock at a weighted average purchase price of $25.03 per share. What a terrible investment, considering the stock today closed at $4.87 a share. If the Atlantis Casino is only worth $78.5 million, what are the other casinos in Reno worth?
Jane Austen's parody "Mafia!" movie partly filmed in Reno:
"The Cooler" movie filmed at the Golden Phoenix Casino (since closed) in Reno:
Take the Fresno State Bulldogs +4 on the road over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights as the Monday play of the day, 1:00 PM Pacific. Good luck! After going 10-1 last week, we are due for a loss.....If you have doubled your money, take the original stake off the table. Bet a percentage of your bankroll going forward so that if you win your bets go up and if you lose your bets go down. Play every play the same. A good pick is a good pick. Bet between 5% and 20% of your bankroll, if you have already doubled and taken the original stake off the table, bet 20%. You can never give it all back betting a percentage of a bankroll and you limit your total downside risk, to an amount of money you can afford to lose. Limit your picks to one or at most two a day. Treat each play the same, always betting 20% of the bankroll. When you win, your bets go up. When you lose your bets go down. Never, never chase your bets. Never do parlays, stay away from run lines on favorites in baseball. Shop around. Find a good handicapper and stick with them. Bet early. You take charge of the money management, don't allow your handicapper to get you in a hole. That is why the dime system of 5-100 is so dangerous. The capper could start with a 10 dimer, then 20 dimer, then 40 dimer and 80 dimer after each bet loses. Three bets chasing. If you treat each pick the same, you will avoid this trap. Stu Feiner in the 2008 NBA Finals doubled his bet after each consecutive loss by the Lakers. After the final game was over, Stu's clients would of lost 7,850,000 dimes if they followed his advice.
Results: Fresno State 24, Rutgers 7. Easy win - if your capper had Rutgers tonight, word to the wise, get another handicapper.
Handicapping Notes: We hope to increase our run to 10-0 today. Once again we prove that free handicappers are as good as the ones that charge money. And it makes sense too. We don't have to market our product, do administration work, handle credit cards, make videos and talk on the phone. We can concentrate on the handicapping. We can give the picks out early in the morning or the previous day so you can bet at your leisure and get the maximum line value. We are under no pressure to even give out a game every day if we don't like the card. We can pass a day. And why not, no on is paying us. We actually have time to watch the games. If you are truly a good handicapper, you don't need to charge for your picks. Your time is too valuable to be running a handicapping service, you can make more money betting. Some cappers are good at handicapping but terrible at money management. Some cappers give out too many games. They give out 8-10 games a weekend and don't even cover the vig. Then you ask them what there two top games were and they won them both. Betting 20% of the bankroll on Saturday on their top game and 20% on Sunday on their top game and winning just two games in a row your bankroll is up a powerful 39.5% (-110 bets). Hell Basher and I did it this last weekend. And its much easier for the clients, one bet a day and not all those losing tickets in the wallet for them to see to remind them of your handicapping acumen. But why bother, no one listens. Its human nature. Nothing new in the world. We all have to make the same stupid mistakes. Most of the touts don't give a shit about the customer or their bankroll. Its why I went after the Basher for chasing. Giving up all those weeks of precious profits. After going 9-1 last week he makes up only a third of his losses from the week before. Its absurd. No wonder he took down his weekly record, I would be embarrassed to show how many weeks I gave back and its deceptive for him to have done that. And he is one of the more ethical cappers, at least he gets monitored. He will need another 9-1 week just to see the light at the top of the hole he is in. He is smart, he will learn from his mistake. As for us, after this run ends, we are not even going to talk about our record. We will let our free sports monitor do that. He had a glitch with the three college plays going into last years stats this last week, mistakes will happen. But who cares, we still bet the games and made money. We are going to concentrate on the picks and money management going forward. If you are a paid handicapper, feel free to use our picks. They are free. And we are going to prove we are as good as any paid handicapper out there over the long run. We are willing to put up $10,000 and challenge anyone over a 3 month period. But we will get no takers. And to hear a capper brag about how good he is gets boring fast. I want to talk about the picks and why I like them, and demonstrate successful money management. I want to take them by the hand and lead them into the Winners Circle. I want to make sure they are risking what they can afford to lose. I want them to take their original money off the table after we have a double. This week we would of already had that and be working off the houses money. In one week. You can be the greatest handicapper in the world and still lose money for your clients, if you don't understand risk and money management. Hey, you got a link we will gladly post it. I go nine games in a row and no one will post my link. The sports handicapping business is not in it for the customer. Thats why no on makes any real money at it. The money management and risk management I have seen is criminal. Hype and deception is rampant, its disgusting. I go to send an email to Basher to congratulate him on his great week, I couldn't even send it without giving him a phone number. Its all about the sales. Call some of these guys sometimes. Act like a weak, confused, desperate gambler. Sammy has. See what happens. Its rotten to the core and you know it. We were going to write a report about sales tactics, its so bad we did not know where to start. Drop by sometime, we will have a beer or two and watch some games on the big screens. We can have the casino comp us to some deli sandwiches and smartly saunter or stagger over to the the Winners Circle to cash our ticket.
Overheard last night at World Headquarters: "Sammy, Dave just sent us an email and he says he loves Fresno State.....Hey we are the WAC experts.....but I never seen him so excited about a game...well he should be, Fresno State is gonna surprise a lot of people tomorrow....update our info Sammy....if there are no problems lets release it before the line moves....9-0....yeah Sammy, I know....we are on a 9-0 run....5-0 in college, yeah.....sh*t....Bookie Basher...he is 9-0 too...5-0 in college too...dam....I told you he was going to take the Buffalos....he probably is gonna take Fresno State too......we got to beat this guy Sammy, dam it...we can't let him get ahead of us.....lets buy the Basher's $500 package tomorrow, just in case we go cold, might be cheap insurance.....hell we got the money now....I think its good for the rest of the year.....but tell him he has to stay in Jersey...he has been lucky there....give Bookie an extra $50 and have him send us some saltwater taffy....I love that stuff.... hey I did not know Dave was an expert in the WAC, the guy is full of surprises, he has the right side in the Fresno State game for sure.....thanks ParlayHelp.com for posting our link on their site....Only the decent and affable John Werner and Football Jesus have posted our link Sammy......We can see why Jesus would and was surprised John kept ours up that long.....his customers must of been howling as we have been winning day after day....we went 10-1 last week....remember our sports monitor deleted those 3 college picks (sc, troy and rice when they used the wrong dates to close out last years football selections)....we beat all his cappers on his site for last week Sammy....and I guess all the folks we have links too don't have software to do links.....its all about making money Sammy....and they have no clue."
