Glisan / Kelly radio picks

[travisdog]

I guess this is a Dear John letter.

What I'm going to say will not make sense to you right off the bat, but please think about it.
Glisan's picks are more successful because he isn't looking for a needle in a haystack. He keeps it simple. However, John, most of the time (if you replay the radio picks section) your analysis is digging, almost with a flashlight and Scotland Yard cap, peering in the dark looking for something no one else can see.

Good results will keep it simple. Don't make it so difficult. I recognize this habit of yours because whenever I flip into this super-sleuth method of handicapping, the results are disasterous.

Think about this now......this method is very, very close to "guessing" or "hunching" a winner. Glisan backs his picks with a solid foundation........for example, "if it aint broke, dont fix it"......"the team is on a hot run".....etc. I hardly ever hear one of your picks taking this route, but rather jumping around with your plaid, inspector cap, in the dark. And that's where too many of your selections need to be, in the dark, locked up and hidden from view.

[John Kelly]

I cannot disagree with this analysis.

Well written too.

Thanks for contributing, travisdog.

I could have done without the last sentence but I hear ya.

He didn't force you to bet the plays dumba$$.

Good constructive criticism.

[Almost Allright]

Maybe that's Johns make up. some people pour over every detail, some don't. If thats what JK feels comfortable with so be it. Money is in play.

this is what i get for not perusing the entire board after a days work. I respond to a ghost.

Glisan is a datamined specialist....'two teams going in different directions' is a fav
quote of his . I shake my head when he wins. Funny thing is he's been on the
right side of most of the moves this year. Squares are winning...ask Dinkinson.

Correct, most of Glisan's "trends" are as datamined and bogus as Mark Lawrence's. Very little substantial analysis.

Whenever people cite a short record, I'm reminded of Bucsfan67's stellar early MLB record at theRx: 2067-1976, +276.43u while his "regress to the mean" record after 2005 was 3352-3434, -94.00u. A few hundred picks really is a short sample.

[John Kelly]

I pride myself on not overreacting to a small sample.

I also criticize myself when getting too fine or too cute with my analysis.

AA was right.

I need to look at all variables in a game.

That's simply the way I'm wired.

Ask Dinkinson? OMG, you really have no clue what you are talking about. You can't separate a sharp from a square, thats your main problem. I would go head to head with you in a MLB contest and lay you some juice to boot, thats how much of a SQUARE you are. If you think I'm blowing smoke just try me. There are a lot of smart handicappers on this forum but you are not one I would EVER in life be SCARED to go up against. The ball is in your hands. Lets the games begin.

Heim?

[JHU Dad]

Imagine what he might have said to you had he had 6 or 7 posts under his belt.

[rainbow]

Heim?

He won't get that weak, but he does talk a good game.

'Squares are winning.......ask Dinkinson' cannot be more straight forward. The guys
laying -130 with Burnett are winning he's not with Lincecum (sharp side) and so on.
I gave you a shot with Phillies +155 to make the playoffs....you (wisely) turned it
down after wanting to know 'where you could get down on it (bad price)'. You made
a 'square' post about (mlb) streaks the other day and naturally my side at +140 won.
(who the fuck lays -150 with Bedard). You're picking on the wrong guy.....I bust my
butt most days trying to stay ahead of the game in LV. I don't have the best clue but
a decent one. I'm probably not the best guy to try and call out on mlb.

[timbo47]

I do not understand the criticism. Both make very solid plays and both win over the long term.

I have a lot of RESPECT for you thats why I'm only going to offer you -130 on 30 plays and 30 days. Turn your head upside down and whatever falls out we can bet... You think this is a PRANK, just try me and get your NUTS wet. I will offer you another wager and I know I'm going out on a limb on this one. Lay me 2-1 and I say the Phillies WINS more games than any team in the whole National league the 2nd half. Yes you have the field, if you don't understand that I will explain it to you. Now you have two bets. The ball is still in your hands. Thats my best offers for you today, maybe tomorrow I can come up with a couple more. You are going to need more than betting against a guy on a three day rest to beat me period. I will be waiting since the ball is in your hands.

[MrTop]

For me I like the way JK breaks down a game....it is another way to look at it...

as far as Glisan.....every time I listed to the radio show......it's like he wins every time.

I agree what CB said about small samples though.


the show is great.........change nothing.

Have you seen the bullpen of the Phillies? Rainbow, don't think you can win that bet, but good luck...

A little birdie told me they are going to start scoring a lot of runs.

The sharp side was the side that won. Heim must have thought the line went down.

A little bump for Heim. You can have either bet or both. The clock is TICKING...

I think you need to go back and look at all the dogs that have won this year at a big price. Where was Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Washington, Cleveland and the Mets picked at before the season started? Exclude Texas, and the Yankees and a lot of dogs have won.

If you think streaks don't mean nothing in baseball you are beyond clueless. Thats why I'm offereng you only -130 because I respect your knowledge. You got the ball just give me the word. If you prefer 90 plays in 30 days instead of 30 plays thats fine with me. Whatever you feel comfortable with.

I'm no Dave Cokin sharp wise but will offer 2 cents. 1st - I like J K's analysis and Davids too. 2 diff eyes on games, and both make sense to me.

Heim- some of you guys really need to lighten up. He provides matter of fact sharp notes and angles on his plays. Nice hit on the last one I saw BTW, the BJ's + 130 vs CWS. I am a "feel" bettor. If I feel it, and it makes sense to me, I bet it. That made for an extra nice vacation in Tahoe. A coupla nice dinners.

Some of you "keyboard" loud mouths should understand: That commercial about acting like a tough guy may lead others to test your mettle. And, for 97% of you I don't think so.

Just sayin, Lighten the fuck up

I'm not trying to be a tough guy. I simply offered Heim -130 in a contest and I don't care if Fezzik are whoever helps him. I can back myself up, I dont offer SOMETHING unless I can back myself up. I just hate pretenders. Heim in my book is as square as they come if I didn't think that I sure wouldn't be offering him -130. The clock is TICKING...

I forgot to mention when I quoted to this post that you waited till the Phillies lost 9 out of 10 games before you offered me that bet. You have a big set about the size of BB's. Heim, the clock is TICKING! -130 is looking at you in the eyes. I don't blame you if you back down, if I was a SQUARE I would probably make the same decision. You are going to need more than busting your butt most days and betting against pitchers on 3 day rest to beat me PERIOD. You will see how SMART you think you are if you ever decide to get weak enough and buck heads against me. You think I'm picking on the wrong guy?LOL. I'm just picking on a SQUARE, in my books I'm picking on the right guy. I grew up as a hustler. You mean well, but you are a cold turkey square. One more time! The clock is TICKING! What are you going to do with the ball? No hard feelings if you back out, I already know why if that happens.

I'm serious as a heart attack. I'm ready for another contest.

[jack stewart]

Looks like a 3-0 night for team EOG. Glisan wins almost every day and won again with the Yankees and Edmonton, and JK with another WNBA winner--the Sky. Hard to believe the hosts are currently in Chicago and South Carolina because the chemistry is outstanding. Best radio sports talk show in Las Vegas!

[rainbow]

Nice picks guys. I wonder where Heim Dissappeared to? I didn't mean to run him off. Maybe he's practicing to see if he has a slim chance against me. You would think he would take me up on me laying him 13-10. If he wasn't scared of me we would have already had the money posted-up and the contest off and running. I'm not mad at him for not wanting to donate money to me...LOL...
