Tip of the day:
"Variables are always in constant fluctuation in the sports betting landscape."
I've made more money "exploiting" microscopic inefficiencies than dolts who think they can make more through arbitrage. I'm ruthless as the Borg and sting like a raw bee. I wear my $harp critical thinking hat as a badge of honor and bar none, Barrygood1's handicapping skills are second to none. (Shameful plug for BG1's handicapping service)
The same doofuses throwing jabs at me for losing a bet or think they know best when it comes to handicapping are rutabagas of the vegetable world. They think they're hard, but they're just rats stuck in a rut i.e sewer dwellers.
I browse this damn thread when time permits or when I'm waiting for my in & out burger and it's flat out appalling what I come across. 5 fighter parlays, laying more juice than Rich Piana, bet slips built on "perception", chasing, overbetting and a whole slew of rinky dink circus shit. Shameful.
If there's one piece of advice I would give upon my last dying breath, it would be this: "this ain't no get rich quick fix, it's about finding value day after day, month after month and year after year. There'll be highs & lows, peaks & dips, valleys & plateaus, but those with the God given will to succeed will reach the summit, by everything that is holy in this world."
* This reply isn't in response to the anti-barry haters or the unsavory crowd along the side of the road throwing rocks. I'm not mad either, so don't even bother with the whole "oh, he mad" or whatever that Bill O' Reilly/Cam'Ron meme is. Not everyone has to get along, but we all need to be on the same page when it comes to beating the bookies. They're our true mortal enemies and we need to unite like the band of brothers to bring forth an onslaught that would make Thanos proud!
I am a cool dude despite how the sherdog betting community may feel. I try for the most part to stay in my lane. However, if you're thumping your chest like some alpha ape throwing shit my way, then I will defend my self by any means necessary. My livelihood is built from my reputation as a legitimate handicapper and it's how I make ends meet along with betting. After my breakup with my ex-gf some unscrupulous e-jerks thought it would be lulzy to verbally taunt me. No names will be mentioned but I have a good idea who their Sherdog aliases are!
I really am thinking whether or not to give any more free picks from this point on. I've almost reached the boiling point. I thank my subscribers, fans and bros who're aboard the bandwagon, but it's the naysayers who make my time contributing to this community, "all for naught."
UFC211 might be my final free pick and a farewell. I never thought in my wildest dreams a select group of e-thugs could sap the the life-force from me. Of course, the $500 free pick offer is still on the table but it's looking like the last free lunch offered from yours truly. We'll see... All good things come to an end... right?
Thank you for reading what I wrote. I am delicate and fragile inside despite my diamond exterior and I needed to vent a bit of frustration.
