    Again, I BEG YOU to create a thread asking the forum who they'd care more about if one of us disappeared...


    Go cap 14 more halfs, sides and team totals throwing out units like poker chips tonight and see if anyone other than the 'Oct 2013 54 posts' guy gives you more than a BOL and a shamrock.

    If you are delusional enough to think your 3 sentence blurbs on a game match my write ups you will continue to embarrass yourself in my threads as you always have.

    Oh and as a side note, for virtually every counter argument to why people backed the pistons, I tell every one of you to go look at the rebounding totals for this game.

    scalabrine needs to hit the bench....and cool off....couldn't agree more on the whole CAPSLOCK THING....what happened with your biggest pick ever with portland to start year...

    there was a terrible spot to begin with...

    houston spot was way better to begin with...

    suns spot tonight i could understand...

    even if you had a write up on minnesota to win (despite their loss)....i could live with...but this was never a good spot to begin with...knicks have been terrible, felton unhealthy and have played terrible against bigsss...and they have never been a great road team....surprised they were even that close.....i took detroit yesterday as soon as i saw the line

    1. I won't make that post because it will go straight to the penalty box.

    2. Your first paragraph consists of excuses.  Typical.

    3. I'm not here for praise or recognition.  You come out of the woodworks once in a while to share your thoughts on a random game that you pick out of a hat and try to make up reasons for why that team will cover.  

    4. I have no embarrassed myself because I was right and you were wrong.  That's how it usually works when I come into your threads.  

    5. It doesn't take 3 page essays to figure out which side or total is the right one in a game.  You can make up all of the bs you want, but your side was wrong tonight.  Own it.

    and thats betting against my own team.....which i would never suggest getting to caught up in....but a big part that people don't take in to context in betting against or for your own team, is that you know more about that team they any other one....still i only suggest betting your team if your team is very good or very bad....and the knicks look pathetic....they will turn it around but deff not in a spot like this...

    after reading all of yours ifs and maybes this game for some reason was on my radar as well but had no angle on it just like I said before the LAL game Detroit wins and covers when they are supposed to and lost that one in second half on the other hand NY covered all road games so far so which way to lean ? Well today lean was Detroit just because they were due for cover in my book and the line at 4 seamed like little sucker bet to get money on NY . Sometimes its just luck and today was on my side and Papas .Well - well done and GL to you all .

    And you talk about poker chips for my units...

    I believe you were the one that bet HALF OF HIS BANKROLL on the Blazers in the first game of the season.  That worked out well.  Another brilliant spot you picked.

    You are a clown.

    I believe most people here are adults and know how to decide for themselves whether if they want to make a play or how much they want to bet. If anyone wants to follow blindly, then don't blame anyone if the pick was wrong.

    Haha guys great thread :)

    Really don't understand what you two fight about tho. Scalabrine write up was useful and nice to read, and i don't see where he brought up something untrue, other than his opinion. And if u don't agree with him it doesn't mean write up is bad. He put some effort into it and it was nice read.

    I personally don't think line was off at all but i could understand why scala made this bet. And yea, Papa you should thank him because otherwise u won't put 3 units on pistons, right?

    That wasn't "my biggest pick ever" and the research that went into that thread, you couldn't duplicate in 10 lifetimes.

    Here's yet another guy coming in a thread (that loses by 2 btw) and shoots his mouth off to say he backed the right team but has nothing to say prior. And I can't count the number of times I've embarrassed him when he's come in with a fade him comment.

    5. It doesn't take 3 page essays to figure out which side or total is the right one in a game.  You can make up all of the bs you want, but your side was wrong tonight.  Own it.

    Right it only takes a blurb. That's capping in a nutshell. 3 sentences and done. It's that easy and viola, we're all professionals now because we can come up with 3 sentences on a game. 

    And to the excuse part, did or did the starting pg get switched for a d leaguer after the OP? You came in and said so yourself. That makes a win a hell of a lot tougher and the game STILL was outside the window by a basket. Felton starts, Knicks win straight up.

    But I'll take the loss regardless. A loss is a loss. I'll tell you what though, I sure as hell wouldn't come in here bragging if Jr hit that three in the same way a capper with class wouldn't bash when it misses. But class is about as foreign to you as a Mandarin Chinese language lesson.

    He goes 3-5 on the night in his thead and rags on how the Knicks are inept but gets absolutely crushed backing the hapless celtics in both the first half and chases the second half and losses that too.

    3-5 night for papa with some terrible misreads sprinkled in there, chase bets galore and the dreaded units play to say, hey look don't look at my record look at my UNIT TOTAL GUYS!!! (And even lost units anyway)

    Thank god the wizards came back for him after giving up 63 in the 1H and that JR smith 3 didnt fall or this guy may have had the most embarrassing post of the evening.

    30 star 50 unit special forthcoming tomorrow from papa...

    Nope.  Never bet a game over 3 units.  Keep trying to bash me when I'm up on the year.  If you don't understand a unit system, you probably shouldn't be betting sports.

    1 unit = 1 % of my starting bankroll.

    So, essentially you're the one that dropped a 50 unit bomb on the first game of the season.

    That was genius.

    Did you forget that you bet 50% of your starting bankroll on the Portland Trailblazers as a road favorite in the first game of the season?  

    I don't bet any play more than 3% of my starting bankroll, but yet you're trying to tell me I bet with poker chips.
