I Got An Idea

[wal66]

Fixing to leave work in a few minutes so I will explain when I get home but it involves Muddy, Mr.X, Durito, MonkeyFocker and anyone else that wants to contribute.

Muddy, Mr.X, Durito, MonkeyFocker

You guys aren't allowed to leave the computer 'til Uncle Wally gets home.

SIT.

I'm on the edge of my seat Matt.

He must be setting up some kind of panel on the ins and outs of being handsome.

I have always been a believer in your wisdom Wally so I will be observing and possibly falling into the "anyone else who wants to contribute" category

I'm thinking it's a gay sporting event like swordfighting.

Koks ready!

Is there any chance that we can work as a group in a collaborative manner to come up with some consensus plays for College and NFL football?

I realize everyone already has their own agendas to maintain as well as lives to live but it seems that with the assortment of talent we have here that we could come up with a couple of plays for the weekends to benefit us as a whole.

With lines being available Sunday evening or Tuesday at the latest for NFL we could submit what we each see as value by Wednesday and by Friday list them.

No-one has to reveal any trade secrets this way and there is a good chance we will end up with a pool of plays that have a better than average chance of winning.

It’ll be good for GameLive. Maybe not group orgy kind of good but good just the same.

Oh oh, serious thread.

Plommer out.

Looks like someone is trying to resurrect the GLPPOTD experiment but this time telling the squares to fok off. I'll be intrigued to see the response.

when i saw the thread title, i automatically thought of Lloyd in dumb and dumber when he says ..hold on, yep...i just had an idea

 

[wal66]

Scholar that must have been before my time and I'm telling no-one to off. I said anyone in my original post. Actually the more the better from a consensus standpoint.

If this has been tried before then it must have failed. I guess if it has already failed then there will be no interest in trying it again.

I don't really make picks wally.

You have limits reduced and make a living but you don't make picks?

 

[Saulty]

I don't really make picks wally.

Me too. I throw darts on the board and pick sides. Odd number take the points. Even number lay the points.

 

[rito]

Exactly.

It was a different methodology, but it worked to achieve the same objective, consensus plays to help everyone make money. It nearly tore the board apart a few times, but had a few comedic moments.

My overall conclusion at the end of the experiment is that wagering is a very personal endeavour and it should stay that way. It is the risking of money on the basis of one's opinions, and to attempt to boil several opinions down into a simplistic few plays every now and then is to disrespect the complexity and individuality of each contributor. It's simply the nature of the beast when your most elite cappers are hitting win percentages in the middle 50s, that concensus will be difficult to achieve at all and provide marginal results the few times it does occur.

Won't work. Staking correctly is more important than anything else to make money at this. "Plays" don't make much sense when you need to focus on pounding a whack number that may be available for no more than 30 seconds.
