Final 2010 Results

EDIT: 9/8/2011 - I'm cleaning the slate and starting fresh for the NFL season 2011. Wasn't sure where to put the three NBA bets I made using the system. I went 3-0 and made 188.93, making my grand total $381.06 on the year. Not bad at all.


So I kinda fell off the radar with this toward the end of the year, so I'm going to start over for 2011. Basically I only bet on football games in 2010, but I have a feeling Skip is just as bad at picking all of the major sports.

Final results are below:

Skip's Record: 8-28
Not good.  

My Record: 24-12
This may not make sense, as you would think it would be exactly opposite of Skip's record (28-8). But even with input from Skip there were 4 games which he picked incorrectly but, because of the large spread, I got wrong. Still a pretty good winning percentage though (78%). 

Breakdown by sport
NFL (8-6) NCAA FB (13-6) NBA (3-0)

Total winnings: $381.06
Not amazing but some of my bigger bets were the few losing ones, giving me nearly $400 on the year. Which I'm sure I dropped on 2 hands of blackjack at some point.

Overall the system worked pretty well, and I plan to make larger wagers in 2011. Here's to a profitable year and Skip sucks ass.

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.
