Pimp JD, Basketball Legend

Today we have an unusual featuring interview with legendary Pimp JD. Instead of me asking all the questions, I collected the best questions submitted by the members and asked Pimp JD to answer them. Here we go!
1. hi JD Pimp! When did you start sport investing what got you into it?
Especially your pimp printing NBA, your write-ups are filled with tha
knows and spot on.

Check dis out, right: I got into bettin, coz that’s what we do on da block. Whether it be dice, poker, whatever… gamblin be gamblin.

But it wasn’t really until I retired from the life of a PIMP that I decided to make gamblin, wagerin… then wagerin, investin.

I started with hoops baby – where else?

2. is las vegas your permanent home? Where on earth are you from?

I was born in Chicago, had a crew down in Watts and Long Beach (LBC fo life)… and now I live in L.A. Ain’t be likin livin in Vegas– I can just drive or fly there when I wanna do that, it ain’t far.

3. what made you start writing the way you do? it’s inspiring to say the least!

I figure two things: I love basketball and I love bettin… AND… I know that by adding da value up in here, it just makes everythin better for everyone. So, if I can be addin a little PIMP FLAVOR to it, and keep somethin FUN that can get very nerve-wrackin… then it’s cool.

Sounds corny – but da more you give, the more you grow and the more you gain .

4. How did you get your name?

My momma gave it to me when I was born. How you think homie???

5. What drives your excitement and motivation in your writings? Is pimping easy?

I tell you simple: I come from da gutter and made a little somethin somethin in life. So, everyday that I ain’t in da gutter I’m thankful and excited!!

Pimpin ain’t easy. But playin wit da fine ladies certainly is…

6. How did you make the transition from pimping to sports investing?
How did you get your start?

I had owned two businesses. Yo, you gots to understand, when I was a pimp I had a sayin: “I got ho’s on every corner and pumpkins in every patch”.

In da other bizness we ranched pumpkins for da purpose of gettin da zinc outta them. Sold that to some farmers up north.

7.  What’s your favorite sport and why?

Basketball. Because it’s a black man’s sport! Hahaha

 
8. Did you play sports growing up or have you simply been a stone-cold
pimp your whole life?

Ain’t one mutually exclusive from da other — I did both homie!  I remember back in the day when you could get pick up games with Byron Scott and Magic Johnson on da street! I was ballin way back. I wanted to get outta da gutta through ball… but pimpin came along at da right time maaaaan.

I feel I can read da game of basketball well enough. ain’t wanna coach that shit. See da kids nowdays? No respek.

9. What’s your Pimp anthem? P.I.M.P., Pimpin’ain’t easy, Big Pimpin?
Of course any track that you like.

Maaaaan, I’m funky. Gimme somma them old-school hooks…

Look Good In Leather – Cody Chesnutt (word to my homie)

Word to my boy Snoop, too. Word to Prince and Otis Redding, too. RESPEK

10. Will you be pimping on MLB like you did on college sports and NBA?

I know a little sum-sum bout da bases… but I like to follow what the sharper cats do.

Looks yo…. when it comes to ANYTHING in life, ya don’t gots to make it HARD:

Pay smarter people to be smart for yo ass. There be some hella smart fools up in here.

I ain’t tryna be sa SMARTEST cat in da world, I’m tryna be da RICHEST. Y’all hear me?

11. Where do you disappear every 6 months and then come back pimping?

I had back surgery. And I been workin on something new a lot lately, too. Da SUPER SECRET PIMP Project. Hahaha WORD.

12. You are a big fan of Line reversal tools. Do you believe last
minute market moves and LR data is more important that old school
statistical analyses of teams and players?

Lines are HUGE. Just gotta interpret them right. I saw the line the other day (White Sox vs Cubs)….

I ain’t know SH*T about da White Sox. I ain’t know SH*T about dem Cubs.

Yo yo yo… but I do know this:

If ya gots 80%+ of tix on one side… and the line drops over 8 points within 30 minutes before da game starts… what that means is there is MORE MONEY on da side with only 20% of tix and some cat wit some knowledge hit it BIG.

Does that mean you hit it, too? Not always. But smart money called smart money fo a reason.

13. Do you believe in zigzag theory in playoffs?

Little bit — what I believe in playoff basketball is:

– Rebounding
– Points in da paint
– FG%

Then… after that:

– Turnovers
– Free throw %

If ya win 2/3 in the top and win 1 of da bottom two by history, then you should win.

For example, the stats tell the story of why Indi is takin it to Miami. it’s why we hit Indi HARD against NYK and why we hit Memphis HARD against OKC and why we hit SA hard against both GSW and Mem.

The rest comes down to readin da situation… readin da play… knowin da match-ups. etc.

14. Your WORD to fans and followers.

For those of y’all starting out my investment strategy is as follows:

I go three levels deep:

– automatic systems (plug and play — the stuff in z-code, I just bet 4 or 5 guys automatically)
– my selections (I wake at 6am everyday and work till about 9:30am nuttin down 5 scenarios I’ma focus on for that day)
– my top 2 plays (these are where I aim to make big bets so I can PIMP at da club and pop DOM wit my homies, while all da FINE ladies be chillin wit us)

Truth be told, I worked on a model (yeah, I WORKED on a few of them in my life – WORD!! Hahaha) where since da end of February, my top 2 daily plays have gone 108-23. Some of them be BET-DA-HOUSE, that type of stuff. But I think I built a dang interesting system. Some days one play, some days no play, some days two. It’s got rules, etc. The idea is this be a ATM fo yo ma-fkn ass.

That’s why I have to get my sh*t sorted by 9:30am. Then I send dat sh*t on to three different analysts (not gamblers or handicappers – real analysts) and they send back they data. Then I gots a turtle that weights all they input… then “WA-LA”: we have 1 or 2 plays. If y’alls be interested… maybe I can have some of the best z-code programs come into this little machine and see what it spits out. Just gotta be by 9:30am Pacific daily. That’s all.

Anyways…

See… I subscribe to da theory that it only takes one. All my baby mamma’s be tellin the same story yo — it only took one!! Ain’t gots to go on no Maury Povich fo ya boy JD!

So, everyday there be one or two situations that jump out. Why bet everything? Why stress? Just hit the efficient, effective tips baby. Ain’t lookin to stress my BENJI PRINTIN. I just want dat stressssss-freeeee PAPER baby. WORD.

I try to work these pretty much daily, except fo Sundays. I have found that Monday’s ain’t as bad as it’s been said — but that might be more of a baseball thang.

The reason I do what I do is to:

– MAKE MAD PAPER
– GO TO DA CLUB AND SPEND IT ALL ON HO’S AND DOM
– BUY DA BAR ROUNDS, ALL NIGHT
– FLASH MY JEWELS

Lastly…

The PIMP is da man, the myth, the legend. I am whoever you say I am. WORD.

Now go switch yo ma-fkn BENJI PRINTIN factory ON!

>> PIMP LOVIN FOR LIFE. PEACE
