no no...that's not how this works. Play here to win here.
Besides, the real test of loyalty is to perhaps bet against Duke...and yet still hope Duke wins (and thus you lose the bet)...which I''m sure is a test everyone here passes.
I’ve had a couple occasions where I’ve been sitting at a blackjack table in Vegas with a small handful of chips left at the end of the night and decided I just wanted to lose them. Usually because I was too lazy or depressed to walk to the cashier to cash them out. On both occasions I went on long winning streaks. I was still playing basic strategy, it’s not like I was hitting on 18, but flipping the mental switch and trying to lose is often a great way to start winning.
Has RJ199 been eliminated from this year's contest yet?
:rolleyes:;)
I wish there was a way to have one "lock" pick per week that allowed us to vote 1,000 or more points just once a week. Could be interesting. I'd probably be -5000 first. :)
I can't believe UNC is -11 vs. Notre Dame. That seems crazy high, but then looked at the open and they were -12 and -12.5 on some books.
I’m offering my picking services to the highest bidder- just do the opposite of me and you are guaranteed to win!
Man I thought ND v cheaters would be a score-fest
ETA there is some amazingly bad hair playing for the heels this year.
Interesting that Covers has a wrong score for UNC Notre Dame. Currently showing 74-65. Everything else I see shows 76-65. Big error if you picked UNC to cover.
I'm off to a nice start at 4-0 +2000. :cool:
Good night tonight.
Bump into second.
Finally on the plus side!
I’m doing very good ATS and very bad with the O/U. Maybe I should stop betting the O/U?
Nah. It will turn around. :eek:
For pride and after being one of the first 2 people to bust out of this contest I think every single year, I'm changing it up. I'm just going to stake Troublemaker who has started in the hole.
Standard deal, I get 50% of his winnings, but if he loses it's on me. :cool:
Had not checked standings for few days, traveling to Duke for BB and FB games. A pleasure to be leading--can we call the season now ???
It may be gone by end of day.
Not all games are being offered. Sigh.
Embarrassingly tech-unsavvy question: anyone know why I'm listed as "Hidden"/how I'd unhide myself? I'd like my season-long mediocrity to be witnessed!
Attachment 9943
I'm a remarkably good 9-2 against the spread... and a remarkably bad 2-8 on O/U. I am seriously considering stopping betting the O/U. I actually bet on the over in a Virginia game last week... where was my head?!?!
That just means your picks are hidden, not your full profile.
Ah, great, thanks!
I'm impressed anyone is getting any O/U right at all, honestly. I've completely avoiding it myself. It's just so hard to tell this early in the year, especially when there are such major new rules (3 pt line and shot clock, particularly) in play. Will be interested how low UVA can push that line this year, though!
