Would like some information about Private Players of Pittsburgh

Does anybody have access to the baseball plays from a sports service called Private Players of Pittsburgh?

It would be a real shame if they are taking Buffetgambler's plays and selling them as their own.

I would appreciate anyone who could help answer this.

Thanks.

I get their plays sometimes but never any writeups. They just list which teams to play.

Hello Russ

I tallied up his plays from the OK Sports Monitor and for PPP they go way back to the 80's and he was under 52% for the non-baseball sports (my baseball records are normally very limited and require a different method to add things up than the others so I did not here). Over at Who2beton is he is 53% including baseball across all sports including baseball (but I have NO idea how they grade so this could easily be inflated) over the last 3 years.

I had contacted Gavazzi regarding his records. He said he was 56-58% in every sport every year. When I told him that 2 monitored sources had him across thousands of picks at far less he said that his picks are not necessarily the same as those he gives the monitor and they are weighted differently as well. I of course was alarmed and did not believe that such a strong subset was withheld from not one but two monitors. I tabulated hs higher graded plays and they were indeed higher but still the majority of his plays were 3* and under and this meant these were doing awful. I inquired again and showed him my work on his 4* and ups, to show I was a serious client and really wanted to know how he's done, but he said that he would not divulge his strategy for releasing plays to monitors. I asked again but he would not reveal his top-secret strategy he uses that gets him 57% in his own "recordkeeping" versus his publicly documented record of under 52%.

When a capper won't stand by his record and gives select tiny samples he can not win. When he tries to convince you that he can win despite all the contrary evidence, and won't even discuss his own theory of why the contrary evidence is "incorrect" he is a fraud. From Wikipedia, in the broadest sense, a fraud is a deception made for personal gain...John Cooke Fraud Report offers a three word fraud definition: "Gain Through Misrepresentation."

..

..one thing i am sure of:

that buffet (whoever he is); is a real capper; and one of the few cappers i would pay real money for their pix; but;

more importantly; after 35 years of degenerate gambling; i thought i had heard just about every angle, dangle, edge-gaining idea; there wuz, but buffett has a gr8 idea in every write-up every day..!!

a tyro could do worse that just going over his write-ups (all his threads at eog this year..!!)

all his write-ups are a valuable education unto themselves; i do not agree with every one of his points, but man; he gets ya' thinkin'..!!

my guess is buffett will be successfull at most or all of his ventures in life (exceptin' maybe tha' ladies..!!)

lol

Another amazing coincidink. It would be great if Joe Gavazzi would come in here and post his last couple of weeks of baseball plays to clear his name.

Let's see if that ever happens.

This is now all over GOOGLE NEWS...

Touts: Joe Gavazzi Allegedly Stealing Baseball Picks from Poster



written April 21, 2007

It has been brought to our attention that someone affiliated with the Private Players Club of Pittsburgh, namely Joe Gavazzi appears to be stealing Baseball Picks from a poster who provides FREE plays with write ups on a couple of posting forums, one of them being EOG.com.

Here's what the poster had to say about the blatant similarity of his picks. It is pertinent to note that the poster's plays are usually released several hours before Joe Gavazzi's are.

"It was brought to my attention elsewhere that my picks this year have been very similar to those of Private Players of Pittsburgh, mainly Joe Gavazzi. I was wondering if you know about his history or background as the similarities of picks are potentially beyond coincidence, and he may be using my plays.

His plays today were:
Cubs
Mets
Pirates
Angels
Blue Jays


Mine were:
Cubs
Mets
Pirates
Angels
Blue Jays

Twins
White Sox

His plays Monday were (I don't yet have access to yesterday's picks)
Brewers
Padres


Mine were:
Brewers
Padres

Dodgers
Giants

His plays Saturday ( I don't have access to Sunday's picks)
Cubs
Orioles

Mine were
Cubs
Orioles

Brewers

I then see his plays on this link with more similarities.
http://www.who2beton.com/records.php (owned and operated by Lawrence Rabies)

His plays 4/10
Dodgers
Diamondbacks
Twins
Blue Jays
Devil Rays


My Plays 4/10
Dodgers
Diamondbacks
Twins
Blue Jays
Devil Rays

Mariners
Padres

His Plays 4/6
Giants
Brewers
Devil Rays

Diamondbacks ( only documented pick thus far that I didn't have)

My Plays 4/6
Giants
Brewers
Devil Rays

Braves

4/5 His Plays
Cubs
Diamondbacks

4/5 My Plays
Cubs
White Sox

4/4 His Plays
Padres
Royals
Phillies
Angels
Rockies
White Sox


4/4 My Plays
Padres
Royals
Angels
Rockies
White Sox

Reds
Tigers

4/3 His Plays
Rockies
Brewers


4/3 My Plays
Rockies
Brewers

6 others

In my opinion, it is quite apparent that the similarities are beyond mere coincidence.

Here's what one other EOG poster had to say regarding this matter.

"I tallied up his plays from the OK Sports Monitor and for PPP they go way back to the 80's and he was under 52% for the non-baseball sports (my baseball records are normally very limited and require a different method to add things up than the others so I did not here).

Is this a coincidence? We think not, but you make the call.

Re: Would like some information about Private Players of Pittsburgh

I KNOW for a fact this sort of thing happenns. Back when I was selling my selections all across the country, one of this guys cronies, at the 'High Rollers Hotline', Bryan Leonard, used to buy my 5* NBA bets (legit. 70% winners on those (my top play)) and then re sell them. I put a stop to that by buying all his picks & releasing them for FREE on my comp line...:finger004

Bunch of scum out there guys...

Also, I know from his own mouth Joe does NOT bet...at all.

Ken, while you are on the "plagiarism" warpath, how about taking a look at your front page?

Here's one stolen article:

Here's another:
Sports Betting at Eye On Gambling - Discuss Online Sportsbooks; Handicapping; and Free Picks

And another:

The hypocrisy would be sad if it wasn't so fucking amusing.
 
Re: Would like some information about Private Players of Pittsburgh

I think it would be helpful to mention this on the main Gambling Industry forum as well. Even those that don't bet baseball should know about this.

JOE GAVAZZI REPLIES BY EMAIL IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER:

For the last month I've been "yanking the chair" of Forum readers at all sites. This includes putting out phony selections, partial selections, misrated selections, and selections of others - all attributable to my name.

By this time you should understand YOU CAN NEVER TRUST ANY SELECTIONS YOU SEE ATTRIBUTED TO MY NAME AT ANY SITE. I feel no obligation to provide my selections to any non - paying clients, and will continue to from time to time, provide false information.

If you want my selections, call 1-800-678-7529. In the meantime. I appreciate the FREE ADVERTISING OF MY SERVICES. 1-800-678-7259 or College/NFL football and basketball sport betting and free picks

Thanks for the inquiry.

Re: Would like some information about Private Players of Pittsburgh

Is there some kind of code of ethics in the world of touts?


Be a leader, not a follower. Anyone dumb enough to buy picks deserves to be scammed.

Really? I suppose anyone who wants to buy a used car deserves to be scammed too.

If Joe knows a live, on-the-phone cash customer is a consensus conduit, he has EVERY RIGHT to do what he said he's doing.

But there's NO WAY he's capable of screening EVERYBODY, that way.

Ergo . . . slick Joey's full of it.
 
Re: Would like some information about Private Players of Pittsburgh

Anyone going to buy a used car would be foolish to not mentally stipulate the opportunity to be had.

"Let the buyer beware".

"No warranty".

"If it's such a great car why would somebody be selling it".


The same could be said of the murky business of prognostication.
 
Re: Would like some information about Private Players of Pittsburgh

I don't get the analogy here...

A used car lot doesn't always equal dishonesty, plaguerism and falsifying records, does it?

To me, someone is stealing a car, then LYING, CHEATING and SELLING it as their very own to anyone dumb enough to believe him...
 
Re: Would like some information about Private Players of Pittsburgh

I don't get the analogy here...

A used car lot doesn't always equal dishonesty, plaguerism and falsifying records, does it?
No, but the opportunity for dishonesty and falsifying records in the used car business has a greater likelihood of occuring than many other business endeavours. Plaguerism would not necessarially apply. But a used car purchase can be a dicey proposition.

A kosher deli for instance may observe far more traditions than not, but still be certified as kosher. 99% chance of integrity at the deli.

95% of prognosticators are full of crap.
