[QUOTE=grux;16751]52.6% isn't awful compared to some touts. He just won't sell many plays touting a 53% winning percentage.;)[/QUOTE]
Absolutely correct. I am not knocking the guy for hitting 52%. This was the first year he was monitored (The Sports Monitor) and he hit 52%. His methodology might be great. Don't know because I have never seen his work. The knock was he said he was hitting 67% for the first three years, I believe, with a good number of samples. Some on here have said he did that and he might have. But, that is not sustainable, if he in fact did hit that for the first three years. I have my doubts. That number is so hard to hit in one year, let alone three years. But, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. If he is a great handicapper, he will settle in the 55% to 57% range.
Lets just see where he stands after being monitored by an independent source for about five years. If he is really good, he will be in the 55-57% range. There is no way he will be over 60% after the next five years. Nobody does that on a long term basis.
Most who have dealt with him have said he is honest and I appreciate that. We need more of that in this business.
