Pro Elite - 7-18-2021

MLB________________________________________________________________________________

 Pro Elites, Sammy Tolbert, is a work in progress. He is smart and a dedicated hard worker. All that said he still is searching for the right combo of information and style that will fit his handicapping abilities. In 2021 he was selective and accurate as he compiled an impressive (74-41) overall MLB win-loss mark from Post All-Star break thru the World Series. In 2022 Tolbert changed gears and jumped right into the MLB season in April. Applying some added stats and handicapping methods he struggled and never really gained any sDuring  to explore handicapping baseball momentum finishing minus 111 units overall with a record of 124-115.

Entering the MLB 2023 Tolbert has alerted his approach again. He will be definitely more selective. 139 plays was definitely too many last season. Tolbert has eliminated 3 variables that he added in 2022 and is basically using the exact approach he used in 2021 with one difference. He will begin handicapping right from the start of the season. He looks to have about 3 plays a week over the course of the season.   7 months or 28-30 weeks of baseball should produce about no more than 100 plays.  He still plans to have a variety of ratings ranging from 5 units to 10 because of line variances and strengths of plays. If the line is 250 and it qualifies as an official play for me I am not going to ignore it but at the same time I am not going to risk losing 2 1/2 games on a potential loser. No play is worth that risk.

BACKGROUND INFO:

Sammy was geared up to begin in 2020 but COVID put a wrench into his plans. He qualified to make the MLB sceen with a solid (56-32) overall performance in 2019. Top Plays were solid at (32-18) with an average lay price of 115.  Struggled on totals going 7-16 overall but side plays were "HOT" with a 49-16 mark overall. Games of the Week were (7-3) Games of the Month were (5-2) with no Games of the Year. Tolbert did not handicap baseball until after the ALL STAR break in 2019.

Editor's Note: Tolbert will begin 2023 in April. . He is confident the changes he has made from his mistakes in 2022 will result in an outcome of 2023 similar to his rookie season with THESWAMI.COM. Time will tell but one thing is for certain nobody in the industry will be working any harder than Tolbert....nobody. Effort does not always guarantee success but it goes a long way towards preventing failure..

NFL FOOTBALL

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

 

Since releasing their first NCAA BB play back in 2017 PRO ELITE has captured over 480 so they head into the 2023-24 NCAA season.

The Good, Bad and Ugly. In 2022-2023 PRO ELITE had its finest hour during the 4 months of regular season college football. They went (6-1) on their Games of the Year and were (45-19) overall during the regular season play to finish up #1 by several monitoring services. Heading into the bowl games where they had been "SUPER SUCCESSFUL" in the past they laid a "HUGE EGG" going 0-7. They obviously lost their bowl game of the year in that mix. Still despite the disastrous bowl performance  they finished their overall season at 64% (45-26) and plus 157 units.
