Default Worst free picks on front page?

Hey guys have any of you been following the free picks on the MLB page? If so who is the worst guy? Im talking like wins 1 then looses 1 or wins 2 then looses 1, Is there a guy whos free picks suck? Theres a little betting strategy I wanna try.

What I want to do is, once I have one guy I wait till he wins one, then fade him on the next and if he wins again I keep fading until he looses. My bet would double each time. This could be risky if he wins like 4 or 5 in a row, so thats why im looking for someone who doesnt have long winning streaks. In baseball it shouldnt be too hard, baseball is hard to cap from what ive seen. I personally suck at capping some im trying to cash in on someone elses misfortune. I could do this the opposite way and and keep betting till he wins, but I imagine losses are more prevelant than wins with free picks.

I don't think "risky" is the right word you are looking for here...stupid is probably a better adjective to describe this betting strategy you've thought long and hard about.

just bet dogs, ignore starters to an extent and focus on teams

brandon webb and cc sabathia are great, but their teams suck, so why lay on them?

If I wanted your opinion Id ask for it. If you have the money keep chase when you loose this will work. There is no way these free picks can hit more than 4-5 straight. If they did people would actually be making money off them

Baron,
Buddy Bear is one of the best cappers and most respected posters on this forum. While it's obvious you feel like he stepped on your toes here, he's 100% correct. Sorry...

I dont care what he thinks. That wasnt the point of this thread. I didnt come in here asking what people think of my way of betting. He can cap and look at statistics all day long for all I care. This is something I'm willing to try and I'll just watch and keep track of the free picks myself then. The point is there are more loosers than winners when it comes to sports betting.

Do you go on 4 or 5 games streaks? If not then why not just martingdale your picks?

If you won't listen to Buddy Bear Baron, listen to me. Martingdale systems NEVER work in the long run, and that is a mathematical fact. Anyone can win or lose 5, 6, 10, even 15 games in a row. Sure you can go a year or more without an extended streak, but that streak WILL happen eventually and wipe a a year's (or years') worth of profits.

Money management is just as important as picking winners, don't ever forget that.
