Default the proof is in the pudding

my record on twoplustwo, selections vs. spread:

W-Hawaii/Boise
W-Louisville/Rutgers
L-Missouri/Kansas
L-LSU/Ark
W-USC/AriSte
W-Akron/Miami(OH)
W-Nevada/MSte
W-Texas/OSU
W-Indy/Pats
L-USC/Oregon
W-Boise/Fresno
W-Bears/GB
W-Pats/Buffalo
L-Indiana/Wisconsin
W-OSU/PSU
W-Den/Pit
W-Fla(halftime)/Kentucky
W-Rice/SMiss
W-Cal/Oregon

15W/4L

it has been stated that a selector cannot hit 60% winners consistently; and most of the serious contributors here insist it is ridiculous to claim otherwise. the truth: i have hit 62% winners on average per football season, and have done so professionally. those who disbelieve the possibility of such things merely limit themselves.

LOL at Pats-Colts. You said you were on the ML, not the points.

Let's make a prop bet. I will lay you 3 to 2 that you can't pick 60 out of 100 winners versus widely available lines. We will have to post the money up before hand of course.

If you pick anywhere close to 62%, this is a huge edge for you. I will lay up to $15K to win $10K.

Accepting this bet will go a long way towards proving your sincerity.

I'd probably like some action along these lines as well.

I don't see how tlt can refuse - for someone with a long-term track record of 62% winners, to turn this down would be hating money.

From the FAQ:

# What is the highest sustainable win rate in point spread betting?
# Generally, somewhere in the 55%-60% range is considered the maximum that is sustainable. However, if you start approaching the higher end of that range, you are probably passing up some +EV wagers.



(emphasis added)



Not to say anything about sample size, yadda yadda.

No one says its "impossible" to pick 60%.
