2019 ACC Picking Contest (Degenerate Gamblers Rejoice!!)

[OldPhiKap]

Old Phikus is doing pretty good ATS. I'm number 2 at the O/U and el stinko ATS. Is there a way for me to see what the Phikus bets ATS so I can ride his (or her?) coattails?

Sadly, nothing to bet today or tomorrow. I will stay in the negative cellar until Saturday.

I may change my name to Old Ficus

How's my "not participating" gambit going? What place am I in, with a balance of zero?

You would be #18 out of 25, so not too well. It's not too late to join!

[Rich]

I will revert to norm soon, then sink below it. Likely by the end of the weekend.

Old Fikus is doing a good job with his reverse self-jinxing. His self deprecation effectively keeping him in the lead. Admirable strategy indeed, but don't think we don't see what you're doing!

The key to happiness is low expectations. Every result beyond them is gravy.

[Bob Green]

We're all just lucky that Bob Green is apparently on limited minutes and only betting occasionally.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm of the opinion my high winning percentage and low number of bets are directly related. I only wager when the numbers seem favorable.

Mr. Chairman,

I'd like to move that Mr. Bob Green be ejected from the contest for behavior contradictory to the charter of this fine club.

Clearly, Mr. Green is not a degenerate!

Thus spoke Jason...

Thanks, -jk. I missed that.

Motion to strike, your honor. Mr. Green, by very example of his behavior contradictory to our degeneracy, is a constant reminder that we are in fact and in practice degenerates.

I don't come to this fine establishment to be reminded of my degeneracy, nor is it Mr. Green's job to remind me of such.

It is, and ever shall be, Mrs. BandAlum83's job. A job to which she is greatly committed and for which she is greatly passionate!

There is nothing wrong with passionate.

I’m impressed with planned degeneracy aforethought.

The larger my bald spot grows, the more that looks like a self portrait

Wow, I may take the weekend off.

[Bob Green]

Wow, I may take the weekend off.

State over Virginia Tech looks interesting especially if Tech's Justin Robinson is out.

[BandAlum83]

State over Virginia Tech looks interesting especially if Tech's Justin Robinson is out.

A lot of rumors swirling around. I don't think we can be sure either way.

If he doesn't play, injuries like this can bring a team together for a game or two, or it could end up a blowout.

I really think I'll stay away. The leaders may come back to me on these games.

18.5 and 20 are a lot of points. 160 on the over AND a 18.5 point spread. 90-71? And an over/under 130 with a 20 point spread? 75-55?

My head may explode.

I agree wholeheartedly. An internet search turned up zero solid information.

These situations are where you need to bet the spread or the O/U but not both. Picking the underdog in those high number spreads is tempting.

I am the o/u king *cough cough*

I just may avoid betting ATS this weekend to see how it goes.
