Last week was 1 win with KC over Jax and 1 loss with Oakland running over Denver. A humbling experience to lose a Bel40stars Pick of the Week (Presently 4 wins and 1 Big loss). Which is why one should never risk more than they can afford to lose, but to absolutely make an investment when the odds are TheCorrectAnswer.com
For example, I’ll suggest you offer a friend or family member three to one odds that you have access to a registered investment advisor (moi) who has earned a higher risk adjusted rate of return on investment on his 401K/IRA accounts than whatever the ROI that your friend’s diversified 7 figure IRA achieved over the last 10, 15 or 25 years. I’ll take ALL the risk (up to $3000) and give you half the win $500, and the other half held as a credit to their investment advisor fees going forward. Win, win, win is best way to play and work…
Reality Update - Belforti Bros Top 2 NFL Picks YTD vs spread: 8 wins vs 6 losses and 4-1 for Bel40stars Action Picks of Year
Fantasy Updates: International CC ESPN tied for 1st in 2010 with Worst To First Commisioner Dan Forbes - see picture. Dan F. is famous for going 0-16 in his own fantasy league last year. This may well be unprecedented on its own de-merits, but especially be so if he unseats me for the title in 2010. Team Belfortuo is 5-2 thru Week 7 with 31 wins and only 8 losses over all 3 seasons - eerily similar to the Patriots regular season record of 31-5 vs NFC opponents since 2001.
Brady Is God Yahoo Jon Murray League - Team Belfortuo Undefeated 7-0 in 2010 (#1 seed 2009). Ho-hum. Paxton only 3-4, Jon Murray 2nd to last. EZ money.
Jacques & Mitchell Bros RTS League - only 8-6 on Fantasy team. Team Belfortuo Ranked 4th Power Ranking of 12 behind 2009 Champ Paxton and 2006/07 Champ Steve Jacques. And again, Team Belfortuo tied 1st place of 12 in RTS Beer03 League NFL Picks vs Spread.
Yahoo Pro Football Pick ‘em League: Team Belfortuo 1st of 26 players against spread in 2010 (2009 Champion of 28 player league).
I’ve been lucky this football season with Team Belfortuo to be in 1st place in 2 out of 3 fantasy leagues in 2010, and 1st place in both Pick vs Spread leagues. To paraphrase Raymond Berry’s lesson to me, Preparation+Opportunity=Lucky.
Top Picks: Pats -6 vs Vikings - Tom Brady was ranked #21 all time vs #20 ranked Brett Favre in latest NFL Rankings this week. By end of Brady’s career, he’ll far surpass Favre as he will on the field this Sunday, if Brett starts his NFL Record 292nd consecutive game with a fractured ankle to add to his legendary story. Advantage Brady. Pats 31 Vikings 17
Carolina Panthers +2.5 at St Louis Rams - Although I invested on the Rams to win the NFC West at 40 to 1 odds after an 0-2 start, injuries are starting to mount. Carolina beat a physical 49ers team last week and think QB Matt Moore and RB Jonathan Stewart starts to turn season around today vs beat up Rams. Neighbor Bubba’s pick of the week!
In other picks this week, brother Mark and neighbor Bubba like KC -7 over Buffalo, and Dan and Bubba like San Diego -4 over Tenn and Dallas -6.5 over Jax.
