Um...Hi Skip??

Has he seen this site or is it just a coincidence? *see previous post*

THIS NEVER HAPPENED

The kiss of death...

I do not like this.  Not one bit.

While I Was Away...

So I decided to go on a spur of the moment week-long drinking binge which took me to the Chesapeake Bay, Seattle, and then back to DC just in time to watch the Phillies clinch the National East in person. Amazing times. As my brain cells regenerate and I look back at Skip's picks for the previous weekend, I see lots of money was to be made.

FINAL SCORE: 

 

Now I'm not sure what the spreads were, but suffice it to say it was not more than 8 either way and picking the Jets and the over would have been a great parlay move.  Next up, and these are my favorite...when he goes back weeks and months to pull out a prediction that still turns out to be wrong.

So...Alabama won the title last year...and they look even better than that this year...yet he's sticking with them losing to Arkansas. It's SCIENCE people! Of course they lost...but it wasn't a blowout, so I guess that's good for him. Next is just vintage Skip...no explanation necessary. The following prediction and final score is the prototype for this system.

Well I've spent enough time on this today with no money riding on anything, but it looks like it was a bad week to miss. He did pick the Cowboys to win, which they did, but he has a raging hard on for them and picks them every week. Don't go with Dallas on this system because of course they will eventually win. Unfortunately.

Can't wait for tomorrow's Skip nuggets.

Whoops.

Even a blind dog gets the worm sometimes, right? Pretty sure that's how the saying goes. Anyway, the system was not perfect this week, as Skip got one prediction right. (1 for 6 on the season)

But the more important thing here is that Skip was still mostly wrong and it was my greed that cost me one of the bets. First to the anomaly...

OK, everyone gets lucky sometimes. You will see as the season progresses that this will not happen often. It's still called gambling though. Lost $25.

Next up is where I got greedy. As you can see though, Skip was still wrong in his prediction. And really, me winning bets comes in a distant second place to pointing out how horrible Mr. Bayless is at his job.  Although he was close, he was still WRONG.

This is where my lack of respect for this guy clouded my judgment. But in case I haven't said it yet, he was still wrong. Lost $30.

Last but not least is the winner, the way these things will go more often than not. By simply betting the opposite of what Skip says, you'll more often than not win. He picked New England by 3.

Had the spread not made it a push, I probably would have went Jets and the over and had a big parlay payout, however I had to settle for just the over. Won $45.25.

So...overall I was 1-2, which is not great, but I only lost less than $10. (-$9.75) Skip was still 1-2, which is what's important. Thanks for reading and please register your disgust with this man to whoever is closest to you at this exact moment.

Week 2 picks are in!!

The wait is over and Skip is at it again. I log in to Twitter, check my "douchebags" list, which consists of only Skip Bayless and Sarah Palin, and see that Mr. Bayless has dropped some knowledge on us yet again. First up...

I'd love to bet on the winner of this game but the spread is +3 for the Jets, which makes this a push. So...I'm going to go with the O/U, which is 38 1/2 on Bodog. Since Skip's prediction is 35, I'm going to put $50 on the over. Possible payout - $45.25.

Next up...

Baltimore is only favored by 3 in the game, so it makes me a little nervous that this prediction is close to what the oddsmakers think. Because of that, I'm only going to drop $25 on this game, which pays exactly $25. I'll take it.

Last but not least is this NCAA head scratcher...

Now I'm assuming this is a joke because I don't even think Skip is this dumb, but I'll bite, just to show how well the system works. The spread is Oklahoma by 17, so if they win that means that, at a minimum, Skip is off by 21 points. Pushing my luck? Maybe. But probably not. $30 on Oklahoma -17 pays out a nice $27.17.

Wish me luck.

The Anticipation Builds

It's Friday morning and I've been waiting for some horrible Skip predictions all week. But have no fear, they'll be coming shortly. It could be a very lucrative weekend.

The System Works, People

After last night's Ravens win, the Reverse Bayless Gambling System has been a resounding success. Three for three in picking games so far, two in NCAA and one in NFL.

Total combined winnings after only three bets = $196.88.

Here's to similar Week 2 results, and thank you Skip for being so awful at your job.

First NFL Bet

I actually don't hate this prediction but a system is a system right?  $25 on the Ravens +1 tonight.

Week 1 Results ($171.88)

WOW. If you folks need proof that the system works…check out that Oklahoma score.

The Michigan game was a little too close for my liking but a winner nonetheless.

2 for 2 on my first weekend of this experiment. Would have liked to bet on some NFL games because he is notoriously bad on those, but was in Philly for the Eagles-Packers game.

Money made so far this season = $171.88

Week One

What a great Saturday for college football, so many good games to pick from. Luckily for me, Skip made predictions on 3 of these games. I’m going to bet on two to start with.

First great option of the day: When Skip calls a blowout like the one here, it will almost always go directly the opposite. I’m going Oklahoma on this one.

On a $50 bet, I took Oklahoma -7. Possible (but likely) payout = $53.

The other option that I like a lot is his prediction of the Michigan-Notre Dame Game.

Since Michigan will obviously win this, the Bodog spread of Michigan +4 is just icing on the cake. Just to make it interesting, I parlayed that bet with the under.

Using Bodog, the payout on a $50 parlay bet of Michigan +4 and Under 53 pays out $118.88.

Wish me luck…not that I need it.  I'll update my winnings on Monday.

EDIT: Yes, I didn't upload this post until Sunday night, but I guarantee I wrote it on Friday. 

The Reverse Bayless Gambling System

The fact that an awful human being, wrong about everything in sports, can make a very nice living talking about sports, is one of the reasons America is so great. Conversely, this also subjects the American viewing public to the horrible predictions and general douchebaggery of one Mr. Skip Bayless.

As a self-loathing follower of his Twitter feed, it has recently begun to sink in just how bad this so-called “expert” is at predicting scores. So, combining my entrepreneurial spirit with my serious gambling addiction, I’ve come up with a can’t-miss system to make money. And I will share my knowledge with you. It just seems fair that something good should out of this man’s ability to be so wrong, so often. And that something good will be cold hard cash in my pocket.

In the following weeks and months I will post Mr. Bayless’s predictions, then bet on the exact opposite result. These will come mostly from his Twitter feed, but if there is something that I’ve missed, maybe something he said on TV, feel free to send it to me at rickmybars@gmail.com. 

Thanks for reading and I hope you will join me on my road to financial freedom.
