bimmercandoComment in above newsletter re:Victor King’s 4* Service play loss on the LA Rams/Balti OVER selection. It was a real bust. Little grounds for the play to say the least with the Ravens QB “Star Lamar” out again.
**Before we get to our OU review, I should probably address a game that we used on our King Creole service for the 4* OVER the Total Best Bet last Sunday. After all, we’ve been getting some online criticism for the play. That game was on the Rams and Ravens OVER 44.5 points.The critiques basically questioned WHY we were using that as an Over, when the forecast was for high winds and rain in Baltimore. FIRST off, we released that play way back LAST WEDNESDAY, when there was NO weather forecast posted for this game as of yet. It was only later in the week that this game was forecast as the most weather-impacted contest on Sunday. By then it was too late to change the play. Second, despite the ugly result (actually the lowest-scoring game of the entire day), I still TRUST my database. And I TRUST the process of handicapping that I learned from my mentor (Marc Lawrence) 25 years ago. After all, this process delivered us Best Bet WINNERS in three of our last four games as well. So was it a loss? Yes. But guess what? Shit happens. Stinkers happen. Clunkers happen. And life still goes on. We never hear from anyone after a win, but we sure as shit do after a LOSS. With that said, ALL comments and criticisms in this particular case are probably warranted and I accept them. A great handicapper recently told me: ‘If you can’t be comfortable being UNCOMFORTABLE… then you probably shouldn’t be in this business’. And finally, for all you LOSERS that access my plays (and other good handicappers) from the ONLINE FORUMS (instead of actually PAYING for our info or newsletters), I don’t give a shit about you or your feelings. The scumbags in the online forums can all go screw themselves. I know how much work I put into each week’s newsletter and handicapping… and I’m ok being me.
