Blowout alert!
     I like the Tennessee Volunteers to take out all of their frustration on the poor Chaminade Silverswords. I got them at -19 and I believe that the Vols will win by more than 20. They will be in a mood to do some damage down low after getting beaten in the opening round at Maui by Duke (77-67) and then losing in double OT to Memphis (99-97).
     As for Chaminade, they have been getting blown out so far in Maui! They were downed against UCLA by more than 30 pts and then were demoralized further by Georgetown (88-61).
     This one against Tennessee won't be close at all.

                           Tennessee Volunteers -19

Prime Time Boys is another one claiming he bets 10 grand on a game and picks every game with thousands claimed to have been bet.

On another thread this guy Spooker thinks bears will crush Raiders this week and wont hear it any other way. Anytime someone disagrees with these guys they claim that person is a hater.

I just find it crazy how these high rollers are trying to win a free contest. I gamble but my financial status is not what it once was, I need to win 100,000 just to get back on the plus side of life.

any thoughts on these other threads ?

even with the occasional riff between posters on here I think this is the best thread, we can disagree, agree, argue, and still move on and try to be positive and helpful

GL on your pics guys

I know that's the truth! This thread is like Mr. T's Saturday morning cartoon, the Mr. T Show. Mr. T would say "On my show,, the best show, MR. T!"
That is how I feel about this thread! It is the best, in my opinion, and the reason for that is all of the great posters that come here, such as yourself.

Good luck on your picks, too, Booyahz and all!

I think SD coach will be first to get fired and then Chargers and Padres move to LA and get better.

I dunno our fans are ruthless win they lose...........if kc loses out, i think it will be tough for haley to come back............I just hope Cassel isn't the qb.

yeah I don't believe any of these clowns in those threads that say they put that kind of money down on a game........why would you waste your time on a thread if you have that kind of money and winning. I'm amazed that people will go off of what they say. I dont see the chargers winning by 20.......and the raiders might take it now that cutler is gone.

Nice Pick Bama

when I saw your post i was thinking yeah that is a good pick but i had already locked in on Packers over.

I'm at a w3 but I have struggled with streaks on here so i went for a Thursday pick

Georgetown looked like a good pick to me, Memphis will struggle with teams that run the half court game this year IMO

Same to you Smooth and all !!!

Here's a hockey strategy I am starting to try

I check sportsparlor and any game that is an option on this streak contest that is not listed on sportsparlor I am taking the favorite

It just seems that the dogs cover more than they lose on that site and they don't post all games

yesterday Vancouver and Minnesota were games you could pick here on the streak contest and they were not on sportsparlor.

The kings game I did not consider because both teams were at a minus so there was no real dog in that game and I am not looking at lines that do not qualify for this streak contest

Something to keep an eye on.......maybe it will work out, it did yesterday but that was the first day I thought of trying it

GL today guys Hoping for that over in the Packers game

Booyahz you have capsulated one of the main reasons I started this Club. There seems to be alot of hating and pissing contests going on in some of the other threads. These guys that claim to bet thousands on a game, if that were true why would you care if people disagreed with you.

Another thing that I personally hate is when someone is on a roll and people ask what system he's using. So maybe the guy tells them his system and bam suddenly everybody is criticizing the guy's system or lack of one. The bottom line is either you're winning or you're losing that's it. Don't even get me started about how women are treated by men when they get on a streak. ESPN is notorious for this type of treatment of women. Whenever a woman takes the lead on SFTC the haters come out of the woodwork. We have kept the drama in the 25 Dime Club to a minimum. Look at Reddog that was probably the worst it ever got and we converted him. All he ever wanted was to belong. Once I figured that out it's been a whole different ballgame. Now he's a regular contributor. Now that is truly a turnaround.

I'm going out on a limb and say the Detroit Lions will cover today on Thanksgiving and may upset the Packers to end all this undefeated talk. The 72 Dolphins will popping champagne to go with their Turkey today.

Bad call by me I didn't expect Detroit to become totally unhinged on Thanksgiving Day. I think they are starting to take the demeanor of their Coach and maybe a little discipline is needed. Suh is too good of a player to be doing the crap he's starting to do. The kid is from Portland, OR so I know a little about him. He's a good kid with a good heart. They just need to calm down and stop trying to be the football version of the Bad Boy Pistons from the 80's and 90's.

anyone see the post about how some people get 5 picks on ultimate race. Some already did and Rizzo left a post saying it was an IT problem but they let it slide because nothing was done. How is the contest legit when some get extra picks

I believe IT knew exactly what they were doing, other picks were apparently graded a push when they won, so whats the objective here? Are covers employees helping friends and family fuck the rest of us over?

This site pays the winners but I don't trust them, there are reasons why they have loose rules and its not for our benefit

I'm sure it would be a lot easier for IT to help "family and friends" by just changing their selection to the winning pick instead of giving an extra pick for the whole board to see.

well they aren't correcting it so how do you know they don't change picks, some people got graded a push on picks that were right while others got the win and others get extra picks.

seems pretty fucked up to do nothing about these problems

You know it takes them forever and a day to fix these issues. It happens all the time on this contest, too. Yes it's frustrating. I couldn't access the race page for 2 days. But I highly doubt it is a conspiracy to give an edge to anyone this early in a 200 pick race!

Nice avatar, by the way

BOOYAHZ-OH CANADA! Just another reason to like our neighbors to the North. Nice variety up North I may add. More than you would expect until you have gone there. Of course I speak from experience.

I'm thinking we need some long streaks in the 25 Dime Club. It's been a minute.

I hear ya crush I just get overly suspicious because years ago when i would play online poker, I had won some good money after starting with a zero balance, i was told by employees of the poker site they were going to put a stop to me and shortly after I couldn't win a hand so I cashed out. I started with no money and was up over a grand. The employees on poker sites play not so they can win but so the site doesn't pay out as much. What they didn't understand was that I was able to figure out the poker software program so I knew what card was next, until they started having people download a new version constantly I could go any poker site, make notes and figure the program out. Most sites don't allow Americans to play anymore.

anyway once I understood that online sites that pay out have employees play to keep the payouts down I get suspicious.

If you look at the rules there is nothing saying employees can't play or the family of employees, you only need a real person with a unique email address. The only contest on here where an employee playing cant screw you is the streak which is why they have more restrictions surrounding what you can pick.

Hope I am wrong but I always remember what Stone Cold Steve Austin would say........DTA ........lol Don't trust anyone

and anyone out there who plays online poker, remember your not playing against other players your playing against a program and programs can only be so random when your using a deck of cards, the easiest programs to figure out are the omaha hi and low because most cards are dealt and few people fold so when you see what they had you make notes on your hand and theirs. When i say notes I mean what was dealt, what order it was dealt, suit of card, etc.

today I like

NC St

SMU over

Oregon St and over

Auburn

Penn St and Under

Can you post when this angle is active. Hockey is one of my favorite sports to bet because I'm usually quite good at it. So far this year it's been a lot of unexpected results but I will find my way. I'm very interested in tracking this angle and see how it hits.

yep no problem Smooth i plan on posting those picks and keeping track of it on here and we can all see how it works

football has been tough to come up with angles like I was in baseball

but I am always trying to find them angles.......hope it turns out to be a good one. I need sportsparlor to put up some hockey and usually on the weekends it just football, so probably Monday there will be something that falls under this play
