Helmut are you struggling a little bit?

Helmut are you struggling a little bit? It is ok if you are. Talk to us dude.
Jan units Helmut is minus 1.3 units for the month of jan. That being said he is the most stand up guy on trushels site , he had 9 days that he made no picks . Its a foggy friday when anyone else on that site has no picks for the day. Lets face it if they dont have something to sell they cant make any money . So what you get from them is a few good games and alot of mediocre plays that are not worth playing , but the betting junkies just have to bet on something. I just dont know how they stay in business that way.

CBB hoops from sports monitor Otto +12 Teddy Covers +14.9 D. Black +7.5 B. Crow +25.4 R. Veno +8 F Jay +4
helmut stand up handicapper I just how good of a handiapper helmut is in cbb over the last several years. Helmut is a stand up capper and rock solid. Sure, the lines probably have caught up with him right now, but I'm sure he will make the proper adjustments in feb and especially in march. Helmut knows those cbb totals....

I don't think the numbers are any tougher in previous seasons at open. It is just that more guys are betting these totals and moving the numbers where they should be. The two totals I like the most today have already moved a ton in UK under and SD under today. I really hate releasing games at the worst possible numbers and just tend to pass on most of these games. Part of the problem has been for some reason I seem to get on a game under and a team like VCU goes crazy and makes 20 three's in game and then a game I have over a great scoring team like Syracuse comes up with their worst shooting day of the year. That has happened a lot this year. But the good news is I am 4-4 on side plays after an 0-3 start.;)

Who are the early movers that post totals for free and have long term success?
wow brent crow~~~~~
crow is the best cbb capper at memo and I think he's the best period. LONG time winner year after year
Helmut thanks for the honesty. You are a good guy and hang in there. Your work is solid.
