All Great Things Must Come to an End (in this case, just a break)

Ladies and gentlemen, the 2008 NBA season is coming to an end. I've decided to call it quits for this season.
BUT, I WILL be back next season.

AND, I'll be starting from the beginning of the season. (after the stats have 'matured', i.e. when they produce consistent favorable results) A return of 12.4% over the past 70 days is a daily return of 0.17%. That doesn't sound like a lot, but over 200 days, it compounds into a total of 39.7%! Ah, the magic of compounding interest.

IN ADDITION, this Summer, I will make every possible effort to figure out the NBA Over/Under, and I will succeed. (cause that's the kind of guy I am)

FURTHERMORE, I will figure out baseball and when I do, the picks will be available at MLB Black Box, mlbblackbox.blogspot.com.

If you'd like to be notified of any updates or reminded when any season starts- NBA, MLB, NFL, etc., drop me an email and let me know what notifications you'd like. I'll say it again, your email will never be shared with anyone. I'm not doing this for the money- the picks are free; note the lack of advertisements.

IF I EVER decide to do it for the money by selling my picks, the loyal viewers of nbablackbox.blogspot.com and nflblackbox.blogspot.com will receive free picks, a free subscription, free something. I'm a nice guy, I'll take care of you. Send me an email letting me know you're a superfan. Again, same deal with the email privacy.

I'll say it again, good luck everyone and don't be greedy!
