All 4 of their losses are aganist @ gonzaga, @ wash, nuetral site wash st, and kentucky. Not any bad losses there! I dont have all the ins and outs Nropp will have but i do think this will be one of his picks tonight.

Lets hear it ? What games does everyone think he will be on???

Now you want to recruit a bunch of second guessers? Why don't you start your own thread instead of cluttering up this one? Let the man do his own thing and if you have learned anything use your own judgemnet like some others have wisely done!

neil,

I kinda like wisky-13 1/2 vs. indy. The hoosiers shot lights. out vs. Mich(67%).Also like the under which should be about 127. Your thoughts? Also wanted to bet UW but the line is 9! Why so high?

Rule number 1. Tail at your own risk

Rule number 2. Use sound money management

Rule number 3. There will be bad nights

Rule number 4. Take the emotion out of it

Rule number 5. Without any of these really good cappers in here, we all would be burried

Just my 2 cents worth....Looking forward to some great picks

Next time you guys tail anyones plays, remember...sometimes a pick will lose - if you think other wise then stop gambling.

Just don't tail the guy and bet 5 units if you can't take the loss on one game. I didn't see what he did on the other games.

I don't think he's leaving. I suspect he's too think skinned to let this bother him, however if he did I couldn't/wouldn't blame him. Covers has sadly turned into a breeding ground of complete jerks and lowlifes. N Ropp is nice enough to share his vast knowledge of the sport with us and does so most of the time with very nice results, yet a**holes have to come in here and bash him when he has a bad day. Truly sad and pathetic.

If I was Nropp I wouldn't post plays in here any more just to prove a point to all the crybabies and a**holes. Nropp puts a lot of time and effort in this forum and doesn't deserve all the negativity. Cap your own games and see how you make out!

Most message Boards have an "Ignore" feature. We need that so nropp and the rest of us can put haters on "Ignore" and think how many posts we wouldn't have to wade through?

Covers would never do this because 50% of posters would be ignored and that will not make advertisers happy

Not to mention most of the haters are also the whales... Covers loves these losers

It wouldn't affect traffic at all. They can and will still come and read.

So I don't think they would stop coming. I think they would just learn to behave themselves and know that a hate post will get them ignored by the Covers Nation!
