Need some sex lies and videotape for that one. 0 for 3 this year finding such an angle. But others will emerge.

Wmi, keep typing and you get closer to the list. Stop now and get back in my good graces.

That's nice.

Unfortunately you forgot one small footnote:

The line closed at +31.5.

Which makes a win in the box score by Uconn a win for the Temple bettor at the following spreads:

+10

+11

+12

+13

+14

+15

+16

+17

+18

+19

+20

+21

+22

+23

+24

+25

+26

+27

+28

+29

+30

+31

+31.5

That makes your point about an outright WIN by Uconn, be it 1 or 100 consecutive, slightly less relevant when the spread is taken into account don't you think?

Double: We will never eat noodles again. This I promise!

I wasn't talking about an outright win, I meant with any points. They won by 45 - blowing your 31.5 out of the water. They have easily covered that 31+ 17 times this season alone. They have won by ridiculous margins like 72, 65, 63. Betting against a team that has won 101 games in a row and regularly demolishing teams is just not a very good idea. Same story with a team like Gonzaga - would you be in the black taking points against them this season? Maybe you should rethink your approach and lay the points with good teams instead (like I did with Kansas last night - 12 looks a little daunting until they end up winning by 19).

Reread post 80. Being in your good graces means squat.

It's expected if you lose.

It's a polarized bet just like the Tulane game where Tulane covered by 24.5. A cover is a cover against massive favorites.

You will likely either win comfortably or get destroyed. When you take terrible teams that's to be expected. It looks bad if you lose and it looks heroic if your team Covers (or even wins outright). But in the end in pays and loses the same amounts.

Between you and that Gandhi guy, your efforts to have me removed from this site have been a failed task.

But by all means keep trying ... knowing my mere presence has such an effect on the both of you brings me satisfaction.

Good luck with your next play, Mr 70%

Now put that oversized lampshade back on your head and shovel some tic-tacs in your mouth like Tramp.

It is a valid question. Have you won a bet since Obama left on Jan 20th?

And right now you can't out "cap" (and I maintain that is a fictional, self-important title) CG.

For the record, I do not "cap" anything (except the occasional deer or elk). I gamble. Gambling is done for money. You either lose it or make it....period.

Have I won since January 20th. Uh yes. And you should know considering you were in the winning threads commenting that you made those plays because of my write-ups. Lakers over Blazers being one of the wins.

And to talk about CG because I start a year 3-8. Give me an f'n break. The guy lost $30,000+ when we all BEGGED him to practice discipline. And you're comparing that to -5 units with juice. Lol. No difference there!

And if you're so up on Laramie, frequenting their field and antique shops locally, why not make a post advocating for the benefits of their home field advantage (the cow has left the barn and now you're closing the door on that one so don't bother)? You did nothing of the sort in 2016.
