    no shit, for those of you who don't like, despise, disagree, think is a joke, and hate ferringo, why bother looking, posting opinions or anything else that has to do with his threads. And that goes for every other cappers thread. Somebody out there does like certain cappers or they would be out of business. We try to stay positive and up beat in the cappers respective thread, so go to the thread of the guy you like and try to be positive in there. All the negativity is just bringing down people around you.

    obviously when you are betting with ferrigno you just tune down your 1 unit play meaning a unit might not be as much as with other handicappers, to be honest there are sometimes alot games out there that you find but hey would you rather go 2-1 or 11-6?

    Portland, Arizona, Fresno State, Indiana, UA-LR, UW-Milwaukee......I could go on.

    I know that what I do flies in the face of generally held handicapping maxims. But in my opinion it's simple math. And either a guy is good enough to pull it off or they aren't. I think that I am. Here's the deal:

    If two bettors both hit 55 percent of their wagers, and Bettor 1 plays 200 games and Bettor 2 plays 500 games, who is going to win more money? It's the guy playing 500 games. That's it. That's all there is to my "style". I follow all of these teams and I play a lot of action. Some guys make money with one or two plays a day. I tip my cap to them. But I will never be that guy.

    In MLB most cappers release 1-3 plays per day. I release 1-16. And the reason is that I used a bunch of different systems. NCAA is more "pure capping" with a few systems in there. MLB is about 90 percent systems plays. And I like to play them all because they have all been moneymakers. So that is that.

    It isn't for the faint of heart, that's for sure. And I too wonder if I could have even more success by "playing it straight". But I believe in the long-term benefits of my way of betting and I haven't been disappointed yet.

    Math? College basketball teasers are never a smart move.

    Now Robert, I have no problem with the amount of plays you do, I like how no one bitched when you were winning saying you played too many, shit they wanted more. Now they just cant hang due to bad money managment, or they're bitter they didnt get in on the $ making weeks.

    But this logic comes down to Unit placement does it not? If both bettors end up with the same ammount of + units (if you're not including juice, as your stats dont) Then actually the 500 game bettor would be behind due to Juice losses.

    Collecting, thanks for the patience and the support.

    If a guy played 200 games at $100 per game and won 55 percent it would be $11,000 up and -$9,900 down. That's $1100 in profit.

    If a guy played 500 at 100 per and won 55 percent it would be $27,500 up and -$24,750 down. That's $2750 in profit. That's after the juice.

    This is the first year I have featured teasers. I think it will likely be my last. I can only say that in my betting career I have had a lot of teaser success and I do think that there is a very good place in any bettor's arsenal for them. Again, I know it's unorthodox, but that's what I do.

    Right right, I guess I didnt catch that you were looking at it from a % point and not a Unit point, my mistake for skimming.

    Keep up the good work, you're still up. Just looking forward to MLB

    Lets do this Rob!!! I see you got Seton Hall in a Teaser. Torelli got them straight up too.

    Think Ill bang Seton Hall heavy.

    Thanks homie. Yeah, I think that ROI is a little overrated. I trade in cold hard cash! If someone starts the year with $5000, bets 50-per-Unit, and ends up winning $1500 for the season, having to bet the equivalent of about $20,000 (8 percent ROI) to do it that is still better, in my eyes, than a guy that starts with $5000, played 50-per-Unit, went undefeated for the season at 20-0, and finished the year up $1000, even though the guy that went 20-0 has a 100 percent ROI. Why? Because the guy that bet more won more money than he did.

    cantlose, I really wanted to pull the trigger on the straight play, but I told myself last night that I didn't want to get on a game where the number started at 8.0 and RLM'd down to 6.0. Too many of those have been losing lately (see: Minnesota and Wisconsin against Michigan State, just to name two) and I just didn't want to do it. But I think Seton Hall sticks around. They are going to hit a stretch this year where they get hot.

    If that is the Real Robert Ferringo (which it sounds like it is) let me tell you, I think its a "stand-up"
    move for you to be giving your opinions on this thread openly(& freely) like a regular guy thats just trying to beat the book like the rest of us.
    You have made me $$$ in the past(Thank You), lets see if we can do it again tonight. Is there anyone of these selections that you feel most strongly about?? Your response is most appreciated, I thank you in
    advance. Lets break a leg tonight!!

    Hey RF, how do you feel about the Gonzaga vs St Mary's matchup tonight. Lots of big name touts on St Mary's, but you have Gonzaga in your teaser. If you have the time wouldn't mind hearing you thoughts on that.

  25. #25

    I'm going to sit back and enjoy that one. I came into the year wanting to fade both but have been mistaken. Now I'm just kind of dancing around both.

    I used Gonzaga because regardless of who covers I don't think the Zags are going to get run. They aren't going to lay an egg or not show up in this game and I'll be surprised if they get blown out. (And if they do, I will lose my bet, so that is kind of that.)

    Zaga has some size to handle Samham (slow him down at least) and St. Mary's is kind of a "chuck and duck" team this season. They bomb a ton of 3's. And that always makes for a shaky favorite.

    Can't deny that "unranked teams favored over ranked teams" is always an awesome play.
    But in this instance, this rare instance, I didn't bite. Maybe I will be wrong. But Motivation is equal, these teams always seem to play close, and I think 9 is a lot of points and gives us all kinds of wiggle room as far as what "type" of game it is.

    If I wasn't teasing it I wouldn't be playing it. It's not really a "high value" situation in my opinion. Someone is going to win and someone is going to lose but I don't think it's a bad number and I don't think that it's a great spot.

    Also, out of curiousity. Why are you posting in a forum like this? I don't know much about you but I'm assuming you sell your picks to the public as well. How long have you been doing that for? Did you start at this forum or something?

    Just curious...never seen someone who sells their picks reply to questions,etc. in a public forum...Pretty cool!

    Kudos to you for not hiding behind a wall and being a stand up MAN on this forum.

    I too play systems. If I had a dollar for everytime someone came into my threads on forums and told me you play too many games too win...I would be too rich too mention. The thing with systems is that these systems have been researched to win money over time. systems run hot and cold but in the end come out ahead. If 20 games fit the system then you need to play 20 games. If you try to cherry pick games to narrow down your plays, then you are no longer playing a system and you will probably lose long term. As long as you have solid money management, then you will be fine.

    I would take going 11-9(55%) over 1-0 any day as long as both people are playing for the same amount. Think about it this way what is more likely to happen: a 55% capper going going 11-9 every day or a person playing 1 game a day going 1-0 every day?

    Like RF said this way of capping is not for everybody. It takes strong, strong money management to be able to handle the real bad day that is going to happen once a month. But overall It works for me as well as RF.

    good luck and keep up the good work.

    Sorry guys, we're going to get ****ing crushed tonight. Yesterday was a red herring, apparently. I will find it. I just hope that it's not like March 20 when I pull my head out of my ass.

    Ugh.

    (Does Tennessee ever go on the road? I am going to bet against those scumbags in just about every game the rest of the season. They are trash. )
