    Having seen you be awarded the ‘Green Jacket’ in multiple years in the past, this is indeed amazing.

    What is even more amazing is you are currently at 50% accuracy - and as you say, teetering on the brink of going out.

    That is REALLY amazing.

    Sins Wiped Away

    GreenWave, if Utah does cover, you will be required to post here in this thread about your efforts to undo those ill-gotten gains. Failure to do so will result in your expulsion from the contest. I hope, for your sake, that Utah fails to cover.

    Somehow I managed to put 200 on Utah -4 tonight (against Minnesota). This is my 3rd year doing this (being in the contest in general - not necessarily failing to play by the rules). I know better.

    I also know the drill. Hopefully they don’t cover and I move on. If I ‘win’ I’ll consult RichardJackson or others for ‘advice/guidance’ on how to properly repent of my ways.

    Sorry to all. 😬

    Sorry man, that is the best I can come up with here

    Going back to 11/15/19, I wanted to put this one to rest, so Jason doesn't come arrest me and seize any of my future 'winnings'.

    Turned out that Utah won by exactly 4, so it was a push, and I believe other than embarrassment for my stupidity, I am free from other punishment.

    Whew, finally back in the plus column if only a measly 950 points. Well, let's see if I can close this thing out in a week to 10 days.

    This could change quickly--remember the fat lady !

    Now, the really bad news: Though you did nothing to wipe out your debt, you lost 50 credits due to the vig. The game you lost cost you 550 and the game you won gained you 500. In our book, you still need to find 1000 worth of losing wagers (which will be -1100 on your bottom line). So, you made no progress but also lost 50 units.

    Sorry, that is the penalty for betting on the wrong game and then failing to quickly wipe out your ill-gotten gains. As you can see, this could become problematic as it goes on and on and on

    Again, please post your losing picks here so we can track the progress.

    Brutal. Ok, I'm going for two non-ACC games (pretty thin on the ACC front these days) to lose tomorrow. Penn St. +1 vs Maryland (feel both nervous and dirty about this one) and Connecticut +2.5 vs Indiana. Really hoping that both come through, that's for sure. I've been on a pretty steep losing curve since picking that first non-ACC game!

    I'm amused. The Vig Death was foretold in Revelations. Or maybe by Nostradamus and his magic 8 ball.

    Pedantic quibble, but it's Revelation, not Revelations. Almost everybody thinks it's plural, but it's not.

    And 1-1 again today, leaving me still 2 games to make up. For my next games to lose, I'm going with Chattanooga +13 against VaTech and Illinois +1.5 against Michigan. 0-2, here we come (I hope).

    You guys know a lot more about sports gambling than me. I'm in Vegas for the weekend and will probably place a few bets for fun. No big deal if I lose them all. Do any of you see any betting odds you like?
    I'm thinking of betting UFC 245 as this looks like one of the best UFC cards in a long time. I'm thinking of maybe taking Usman -175; Nunes -280; Volkanovski +150; Moraes -200; Yan -475; and I'm not sure what to do with Geoff Neal -245 vs Mike Perry +205 (probably won't touch that one). You can also do things like Parlays: like Aldara and Yan bet $40 to make $80; Matt Brown & Max Holloway bet $50 to make $54; or Amanda Nunes and Moraes bet $50 to make $52.
    I'm also pretty down on the Panthers. So I might take Seattle to cover -6.5

    See any bets you like? Or any of mine above that you hate? No worries if you like something and it loses. I don't care - just here to have fun.

    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

But I was at a conference all week doing all 30 hours of CME I needed for the year, so I didn't have time to study my poker books which I always do before playing these guys out here. So no poker this trip. Just brainless stuff.

    Multiple ACC teams in action today after a couple of dark days so I placed four bets first thing this morning.

    Kentucky (-15) over Georgia Tech
    Xavier (-5.5) over Wake Forest
    Syracuse at Georgetown Under 147
    UCLA at Notre Dame Over 138

    I need to get a streak going hopefully it is a winning streak.

    Hey Richard, the leader of this competition has 3 bets for today, and I feel pretty good about going 2-1. You could choose to tail me if you want.

    Good luck on your betting, my friend!

    Okay. In keeping with trying to bet on all games on both O/U and ATS, I am all in today.

    12 bets. If I don't break .500 for the day, I'll be out since it would take me beyond -5000.

    Starting to regret picking Kentucky to cover against GA Tech.
