Ya We Gotta Lock In

Happy 26th birthday to myself (God I’m old). It’s kind of weird thinking about how not a lot of my followers don’t really know anything about me. We'll take a dive into the gambling community, NBA plays and most important myself. 

NBA PLAYS

Jabari Smith o14.5 points:

Ever since Kevin Durant allegedly called Jabari retarted he’s shown the opposite. Post All Star break he’s averaging 17 points on 52% shooting hitting this in 9/14 (64%). Best of all he has an incredible matchup against a struggling Chicago Bulls squad. They have one of the worst defenses in the league and give up the MOST PPG to opposing PF’s. 

Duncan Robinson o2.5 first quarter points:

Will the Detroit Pistons stay afloat without Cade Cunningham? Probably not but the one man they’ll lean on is Jimmy Neutron. In 9 games without Cade he’s averaged 6.4 first quarter points. LA Lakers are on a hot streak but the one thing they still struggle at is opposing first quarter points. Since the All Star break they’ve given up the 4th MOST 1Q points so expect a back and forth to begin the game. 

Daniel Gafford o4.5 FG’s made:

You couldn’t pay me to watch this game, both these teams are atrocious. Post All Star break Golden State ranks bottom ten in opposing PITP, 2nd chance points, and points off turnovers. Warriors are also 2-8 in their last 10 games, without Steph this team is terrible. Speaking of last 10 games we’ve seen Gafford show why he’s capable of being a starting center in this league. He’s hit this in 7/10 (70%) games so we’ll continue riding the hot hand here

Ousame Dieng o0.5 steals: 

Being a Milwaukee Bucks fan is frustrating but at least we have Dieng. He’s shown that he’s capable of being a nice piece for the future that can contribute on both sides of the ball. Without Giannis he’s hit this in 9/13 (69%) games showing his potential defensively. He’s up against a LA Clipper team who’s given up the 5th MOST steals to opposing teams. A potential game without Kawhi and Bennedict Mathurin I like our chances even more. 

Jalen Williams o7.5 rebounds + assists:

I was considering doing PRA instead but I don’t trust him to score in this one. In his first game back from a hamstring injury there’s no telling how explosive he’ll be or how many minutes we’ll see. Especially against Philly who despite having injuries has still been playing solid. One thing for sure is he’ll get some boards and assists hitting this prop in 21/26 (81%) games. 

WHO AM I !?!?

In June 2022 I created a burner Twitter account that was PrizePickHuncho. Why? I was a mess. My confidence was at an all time low due to me failing college, working 14 hour shifts everyday to pay rent, unfortunate death, being in a toxic relationship and much more. I used Twitter to express my feelings and talk about sports due to me feeling incapable of doing so with anyone in my life. Twitter felt like the only place I could be myself without feeling judged by others. So quickly I’d like to thank anyone who follows me, tails me, or ever supports me. Without Twitter I can’t imagine how I’d get my laughter in for the day or for a brief moment feel as if I can make an impact in others lives. Why am I sharing this? Honestly I’m very proud of the person I’ve grown into, a lot of people go through things behind the scenes and pretend everything is okay. A lot of sports gamblers do not show their face or express any type of real emotion because they’re scared of what others think. Gambling community can be a tough place and I’ve seen many cappers go through it mentally due to nasty comments and on top of that losing money. Nobody talks about the downside of gambling that includes addiction, mental exhaustion, risking money you're not supposed to. In late 2022 a key moment that I would always relive in my head for years was finally having the confidence to tell someone about my burner account with 500 followers. I told my ex/gf at the time because she was the only person I trusted but I got completely clowned/humiliated for it. I’ve never felt more desolate in my life yet it gave me the confidence to grow as a person and realize I didn’t need her or anyone random to know who I was because I figured out who I am. The majority of people reading this just know me as the horny gambling guy on Twitter which is true but anyone reading this know you’ll get through whatever you’re going through. If you’re going through something and feel as if you need someone to talk to I am always a shoulder to cry on! It’s time for Huncho to be Huncho again!!!! Since you’ve read my autobiography you’ll now continue reading about the gambling community and my plans moving forward. 

Gambling Community:

The Gambling Community is in the darkest state it’s ever been in. I’ve preached for years that I don’t get involved with a lot of “cappers” because the majority are very shady/terrible people. Nowadays even if you’re openly shady and clearly don’t care about making people money it doesn't matter. These cappers have already grown a fan base so huge that it doesn't turn anyone off involved in cappers paid descriptions. People like DK_DFS, Portmantracker and others do the lord's work by exposing unprofitable cappers yet even when showing actual statistics their fans don’t care. Fans will come after them calling them

• Haters

• Racist

• Obsessive

• Pocket watching

• Etc

  
  

Unfortunately the bad guys are starting to take over the gambling space, but how did it get like this and why now? Let me explain, people who gamble are obsessed with two things, perception and hitting big. A lot of cappers such as BrookieJ07 & SGP Vick are steering towards the route of posting a lot of lotto slips. During this hard financial time it’s more appealing to essentially buy a lottery ticket thus why their fan base doesn't give a damn about P&L. If you look at posts on their profiles the engagement/views are almost doubled when posting about a lotto slip. These guys give out a perception of winning lotto’s a frequent amount which is honestly smart. They’ll have multiple people run their accounts and block anybody who tries to tarnish their name or say otherwise. Another strategy sport gamblers use is having fake reviews or paying people for good reviews but why are the bad guys starting to get more popular now when they’ve been doing this for years? It’s pretty simple, the good guys including myself haven’t stepped up and are not doing enough. There are different sides of the gambling community. Which are (these aren’t the only people in their respective categories just examples):

• Gossipers/Insiders/Edgers: Elf, Nadu, NBAgreenbeans

• Content creators: BookIt, SnapBack, BETR 

• The Good Guys: AustinProps, Dr. Profit, A1Fantasy, Ahaan Rungta, Alex Caruso

• The Bad Guys: Sean Perry, NazEater, Matt Zylbert, 95% DubClub cappers

• Thanos/Dr. Doom type evil: Amanda Vance, SGP Vick, BrookieJ07

  
  

People enjoy one thing over having a glimpse of hope from winning big money, entertainment. For example the BookIt crew are terrible gamblers who are known for being terrible. Yet nobody cares and they shouldn’t, the whole team has something unique about them that attracts audiences. Even though most of them chalk they are all in my opinion good people who show they have solid sports knowledge. Each individual shows that they can consistently put in the research even though they chalk, that’s dedication. They provide great entertainment and when they do hit people rejoice because who doesn't love rooting for the underdog. This is no shade towards BookIt whatsoever. In my opinion they're the best out of all these groups and I love them, they are the best for the community. How does this relate to the good guys not stepping up? Not enough of the good guys post content, are entertaining or put enough effort to show their sports knowledge. That results in the Bad/Evil guys going on Gossipers/Insiders/Edgers platforms to promote themselves even more. It’s a win-win situation, both parties receive engagement and the “scammers”, what everyone loves to call dishonest and corrupt cappers in the industry get a chance to speak to new listeners/audience. Even if the good people in the spaces call out the bad guys it doesn’t matter because emotion exposes people. Most people believe showing emotion is bad but in fact it’s a good thing. The Bad/Evil people show a tremendous amount of emotion going over the top pretending like their “craft” is being questioned. Instead of admitting any wrongdoing they’ll pivot in many ways, first it’s how their community is different from anyone else’s. It’s not but there’s no way to prove that because in an opinion. Secondly, which may be a sensitive topic but posting selfies/tease pictures. You’d be surprised how many gambling fans are simps but let’s take Amanda Vance for example. She charges $1,000 for a full season of her NFL plays. How profitable is she? Not very but people don’t care because of her content. Which consist of pretending to be an actual source for Polymarket and posting pictures of cleavage when she’s drunk. If you want some entertainment or proof just go on her profile and look at the comment section under her selfies. There’s a selective group of women in the gambling community who do this to take advantage of the audience because who cares about P&L when there’s boobies and you give some random guys attention once in a while. When Amanda Vance had her little fling with Elf she used him to be known more in the gambling community and didn’t answer any type of hard questions. She just got drunk and was eye candy for the viewers. However if you need names of some great women cappers in the gambling community there’s many such as LC, Stephanie Smalls, Jerika and more. There’s many other strategies such as photoshopping slips, fake giveaways, etc but those ways are starting to phase out. The bad guys stick together even more than the good guys because they don’t care about their image as much. There’s only one way to get Gambling Twitter back and ITS……… (I’ll be reaching out to certain cappers for this). 

Huncho Gambles plans:

I’ve stayed out of exposing cappers for who they are for almost two years now but that changes in May. I will be doing content creation full time starting in May but what does that mean? 

• Lawsuits- I will be handing out lawsuits to cappers (I may be a lawyer and yes you can do this or am I a lawyer🤔). This won’t be coming until football season because this is a lot more work than you think

• Rush Hour Hoops- My friends and I will be creating a sports betting entertainment pod/show talking about basketball/culture/more. First episode will be in May

• Streaming- I still got it. One last run at taking video games seriously. Also will be labbing as soon the board drops some nights along with other creative ideas I have (I don’t want some reading this to steal it)

• Content beyond Twitter- I will be posting more on Instagram/Tik Tok on some of my sport takes, video game clips, Rush Hour Hoops clips, and much more

• Skits - As the most unique personality in the betting community I have some funny/creative skits I’ll be posting 

• Capper on Capper content- No it’s not OnlyFans I just wanted to word it weird. But I’ll be doing more streams with Cappers

• Articles- I’ll be writing more articles about sports as well as posting plays

• & more- I don’t want to say too much but attempting my hardest to pivot the gambling community in a new direction

  
  

With that being said I’ll be taking a break from gambling. Not necessarily a real break but I’ll be posting a lot less on Twitter. I’ll be posting plays everyday on the Rush Hour Hoops Instagram page. I want to focus on my life outside of gambling and create healthy habits for myself. In a span of two months I have to lose 20 pounds, get off my antidepressants, find sponsors for Rush Hour Hoops, buy streaming equipment, start creating content consistently and find a girlfriend. If 4 out of the 6 things can happen I’ll be satisfied but appreciate those who tuned in to read all of this and take care. Huncho is coming for blood. As one of the only African American sport cappers I feel responsible to try to change the community for the good. I’ll be back soon.
