Home Forums Skybox Sports Bar Selections Central Alex Anderson's 2011 Picks

Hey everyone! My name is Dominic Baranyi, and I am a close friend of Jeffrey Beacham, also known as "The Unfair Advantage." Jeff told me I needed to get on this forum and start posting my picks, so here I am. I am dedicated to providing the same honesty and integrity that Jeff provides his following, and I'm going to win money. Maybe not every night, but over the course of the year, we will win together.

My scale ranges from 10-200 Dimes per play, 200 Dimes being the Max Release "Play of the Year." A sort of rough estimate on what each release is worth:

200 Dimes - Play of the Year
125 Dimes - Play of the Month
75 Dimes - Play of the Week

and so on and so forth. I also try to keep a blog of picks. I was really bad at keeping it updated originally, but if anyone wants to pick my brain a little bit and figure out why I like who I like, feel free to check it out. Originally, I was posting picks after the games, but I promise you that MY PICKS WILL BE POSTED HERE FIRST!! Integrity is of the up most importance to me. Some handicappers have proven to be very untrustworthy over the years, but I swear to you I'm not like all those other handicappers. Old plays don't count towards numbers, they are just my log of what I was thinking with each pick. Starting this new forum now, I'm going to be really good about keeping it updated. So don't hate on some of the old stuff, let's just roll with the present and win some money. If anyone wants to check it out, send me a message and I can provide the link.

And without further ado, my first picks of the Thread!
