Re: Mr. Meyer your PM's dont scare me...
How about this? You're down roughly 10k, have roughly 5k in a bank roll left. You ship Adam Meyer $1k for his post-season baseball picks. You spend the time to explain the situation to him. How you could you use the help, how you can't pick a winner, how you could really use the money to get back to even. You explain to him that your bankroll is roughly $4k now and that you're trusting him to make the right decisions. Of course, at the end of the day, I'm the one making the clicks, entering the passwords and making the bets. Essentially, I turn over my bankroll to him. Meyer talks to you everyday and tells you what to bet and that at the end of the baseball playoffs, you'll have $25k. Sounds perfect right? I'm running pretty much even for a couple of days. Up $500 here, down $500 there. Meyer would tell me to make plays between $250-$1k. Then you call him to get the days pick and he says:
Meyer: John, how much money do you have in your accounts?
Me: About $3500.
Meyer: I want you to UNLOAD all of it on Red Sox -1.5 today. I know something.
Me: What?
Meyer: I can't tell you. But TRUST me, I know something.
Me: Are you sure? But what if it loses?
Meyer: It's not going to. Promise. Remember when I said we were going to make you $25k this post-season? Here we go.
Me: Ok....
I remember the conversation like it was yesterday. I'm sure you can all guess what's coming next...
Final score:
Rays 9
Red Sox 1
So why tell the story? Look, I'm a big boy and can handle my own money. Of course losing $5k never feels good but I'm not whining about it. This is a cautionary tale to anyone considering signing up with him or giving him anything other than nothing. Adam Meyer is a poor handicapper and is looking for a way to screw you too.
