The Verdict

anyone stickin up for sully and his implosion, never had a shot, and wont ever have a shot at the money. Me? right or wrong, i think i can do it, so thats why i didn't want him winnin my money. anyway, he yesterdays news. Get over it, love him or hate him, he's fininshed. dvlman

The only people that would have anything MEANINGFUL to say about Sully's 'dumb' pick would be the people that have a longer streak than him. Since there are only two people out there (Claudio and Patrick) everyone should keep quite about his streak until they, themselves, have a right to judge. Until then, give the dumb fuck a break, maybe he clicked the wrong box when selecting his pick.||an_burningbag.gif' border=0>

no breaks. If he had won, he would've been king. Nobody could have said shit, and he would have been a legend around here. The only props i give him... Today, that crazy poor bastrd jumped back on his horse and made a pick. Hats off to you for that, Sully. At the same time though, betting on another boston college team? Check ur pulse

I would like to say congrats to MSully for a streak that I will be lucky to ever approach. ||an_clap.gif' border=0> But... Anyone who reaches that long of a streak will have to rely on skill and luck. He did make 19 picks in a row. But his BC -2 over Duke, showed how much he relied on luck during his streak (it was a virtual coin flip, I thought) The over would have been the way to go. I like to see anyone get the 1K but, if you think you have a shot at ever getting to 21 you have to hope the long streaks crash and burn. It's just hard to believe someone could lose touch with reality that close to the 100K. By the way I'm not insulting MSully just glad to see the 100K still on the table. ||clover.gif' border=0>

SGB14, I agree with you, but these recent postings from social miscreants like convict, etc are out of line. Your approach is better. There are many ways to skin a cat... ||an_speak.gif' border=0>

Check the consensus for that Duke/BC game 1,051 people were on board with Sully and picked BC. SO I don't know why people are still thinking that was a stupid pick. On a side note, for the people that think "glad to see the 100k still on the table" that is ridiculous. Wagerline hopes someone wins the 100K as a promotional opportunity. Tomorrow's Headline will read "Winner of $100,000 thanks Wagerline.com". Do you know how many more hits they will get on their website because of this?????? Which will mean the advertising you currently see will cost more and more companies will want to advertise here. One more thing. Dear SBG14, Duke is 9-14 O/U and BC is 10-10 O/U so that would have been even a dumber bet.

Hey redsox5, you say the over would have been an "even dumber bet". Your words not mine. But take a look at these numbers. 60.44% of "ALL" pickers took Boston College. 62.98% of "ALL" pickers took the over. 61.57% of "top 10" pickers took Boston College. 63.16% of "top 10" pickers took the over. All of which means squat, I might add. As for your little observation on Duke and BC O/U for the season. Most of BC's O/U lines were in the mid to upper 140's. The over for this game was 133, a number they went over 19 times, so with Duke coming to town in what appeared to be a close matchup, factor in free throws at the end. And I didn't say it was a stupid pick. I'm saying he may as well of said ||an_speak.gif' border=0> "Tonight there is a coin flip and I'm taking 'tails' to win!" I wouldnt doubt that his pick influenced the consensus on BC to inflate, as well. ||an_burn_money.gif' border=0>

Very good points, my friend. But, who cares about what everyone else was picking. I look at the statistics. BC was 7-3-1 ATS at home, Duke was 2-3 ATS Away. Sully saw something here and jumped on it. Right or wrong, he had a hunch. I see your point about the 133O/U. I just don't see picking that the Over over BC-2 was a better bet based on statistics.

He probably chose that game early thinking that since it was such a high profile game it would have some big line movement by tip off and he could hedge. Unfortunately the line went against him. When you have thousands of people following a guy who picked 18 straight games you are going to have some smart money fading that pick heavily. That's why it is so hard to hit 21 in my opinion. Takes a lot more luck than skill.

My point exactly, redsox5. You were the one that stated how "1,051 others were on BC as well". As you can see in my post I stated "all of which means squat." In reference to the consensus. The biggest overlooked fact on this game was; that Duke had lost 4 in a row (their last win 75-61 over BC)...BC had won 4 in a row (their last loss 61-75 to Duke.) I dont see how he thought 17 days later, that BC was worthy of a 16 pt. turn around, even at home. All I am saying is; ||an_speak.gif' border=0> "No way, was this game worth even looking at with a streak of 19".

convict..nice record you have...lol...you have 0 shot

Now we are on the same wave length. Look what happened to the consensus when Sully took UMASS, it jumped to 78%. How many times has Coach K lost five in a row????? Never.||an_drunksick.gif' border=0>||an_cannon.gif' border=0>
