Bestbettor is one of the better handicapping tools around for me, so I've decided to expand my usage of it for 2004. I am going to track as many plays as possible on Best Bettor(www.bestbettor.com) this year. Now, of course mirrormy plays on Best Bettor won't exactly match my actual results, but it is a good way to give readers of my Free Picks page a good all-in-one reference to both my past results and my current plays. I will continue to post plays on my page, but this will give a more detailed tracking of my results.
The rules I follow will remain the same. I have a maximum exposure of 500 per day and if I get up or down 1000 for the week, I quit for that week. I have been using this strategy for the past 13+ weeks and I had 10 winning weeks, 3 losing weeks for +2460 over that period. This week I am -270 coming into today, so if my maximum on best bettor this week will be either -730 or +1270.
My reason for choosing these rules is that I feel that 500 per day in exposure is a reasonable amount for many gamblers. For those that play lower or higher than that, it at least gives a base line to relate my play amounts to their play amounts if they choose to follow my plays (which is, after all, the supposed purpose of a Free Picks page, anyway).
As always, any questions about this or about handicapping in general will be answered to the best of my ability either by replying in this thread or emailing me at nick_douglas@mac.com. I know that a lot of people looking to start up services try to get people to email them off these forums, but trust me, my motivation here is simply to enjoy handicapping games and talk handicapping with others.
