    -Puck gains attention simply by posting his bets and winning games without the bs drama.
    -Never tells people to follow him, and never says shit about being the best.

    -Panda gains attention by posting bonehead retarded comments on a daily basis. Clearly panda did not receive enough attention as a child, and turns to covers to get what he did not receive as a kid.
    -Constantly saying how good he is, and asking people to follow his picks, while being a mediocre capper AT BEST.
    -Ultimately gives new meaning to the word "attention person."

    Ohhhh ok gotcha. Yea your right but I was just talking in terms of the end of that thread where he says he didn't talk shit about FSU backers. I obviously showed proof and there isn't much he can dispute.

    this is by far the dumbest thread I've seen in some time..

    A thread titled to make people aware of common arithmetic.  I might start a thread that states "2+2 = 4"

    attention person..

    I know this should be over and done with and I am on the side that buying two in the long run probably isn't the best idea.  I really couldn't understand why puck bought two on a play he deemed game of the year.  I always feel that if you need to buy points you probably shouldn't be betting the game.  With that being said, I also got to stand by Puck when he disputes the 61% because how many extra games is Puck winning because he bought the two points?  In other words, Puck has increased his chances of winning by buying those two points, of course if he won't collect as much dough, but he'll win more of the time.  I have broken it down below estimating that a unit at $150 for the sake of easy math.  Puck says he pays -150 juice when buys 2 and we'll say that if he doesn't buy 2 the juice is at -110 so when he wins by buying 2 he profits a 100 bucks and when he wins without buying two he profits 136.36.

    Now Puck says he is 11-3 which means he would have won $1100 (11x100) and lost $450 (150X3) for a profit of $650.  Now he says two of the games would have been losers have he bet it without buying the points.  If he had bet 150 on those 14 games at -110 juice and won 9 instead of 11 here's how it would look.  He would have won 1227.24 (136.36x 9) and lost 750 (150x5) for a profit of 477.24. So in buying two points with a unit estimated at $150 per game risked Puck has profited an 172.76 by buying two points......Now I'm sure he is not risking the same amount per game but I just wanted to break it down in an easy logical way. The one question remains is whether or not buying two points helps you to win an 14% of your games like it has in Puck's case, but if he can identify the right games as he has in this tourney, then the system could work in the short term as it has for him. 

    Did any of that just make sense?
