Brackson13's Streak

Speaking from experience. Get 1st place too !  I finished 2nd and it sucks. Thankfully, I had a streak earlier month. 

I'm in Sin City also this weekend. Good luck on the superbowl.  

I read an earlier post that worried about Covers going bankrupt. Sure, anything is possible, but that seems incredibly unlikely. Covers.com is owned by Covers Media Group, itself a subsidiary of SportsDirect Inc., a well-established corporation with over 200 employees. Covers paid out $100k to Tuppy eight years ago when the company was a fraction of its current size; by this point in time another $100k prize would probably be celebrated by the company for the publicity, rather than raise concern about financial stability. I would not worry for one minute about receiving the prize if the prize was won. 

You're a real piece of work. So it's my fault he's lost 4 in a row! If I had half the power you give me credit for I would be the most powerful man in the world. Thank you for the compliment. 

I want to leave this comment as a General Topic and Concern, this is why there is a Growing Theory about all this Major Sports Leagues Fixing Some Games, specially the NBA that it's the most unpredictable league to bet in the world. 

I watched The last 2 L.A. Clippers games, the first on Friday against the Pelicans and yesterday's One against the Spurs, loosing them both badly ATS. 

It's unbelievable the way Mr. Rivers ingeniously managed to loose the game to the Pelicans (without Davis, their best player) while sitting Deandre Jordan for almost the entire 3rd Quarter, letting the Pelicans Fly away High (scoring 35 points), to then "Try" to Catch them back in the 4th Quarter when there was not enough time to do so. 

Mr. Jordan was having a great defensive night and had grabbed 12 boards by the half time, with 0 (Zero) faults and non injury or discomfort showed. Everyone of Us knows that D. Jordan is one of the Greatest Defensive Pieces in the League and an Awesome Rebounder, but Mr. Rivers, acting on His Best Dumm Role, decide to rest him while watching patiently how the Pelicans Grow a Big Lead and Soared the Clippers to take them Out of the Game. Everyone involved in this "business", just by sitting and watching the games, knows when a team have the green light to go out and win, or just go out and play the "Ridiculous" in front of the fans that had paid to attend an already pre-fixed game, that's a Big Shame. We all had made those "Trap Bet" were we know that just by watching the first quarter we had burned our money, because we have no chance on winning that bet.

By the end of the game D.Jordan finished with 14 Rebounds (just 2 in the second half) while committing no Faults in the entire game (0 Zero).

Totally different Story on the Game agains the Spurs, and by the way, a totally different result. He played almost the entire Second Half and Battle Until the End of the Game, grabbing those much needed boards, blocking shots and imposing his big presence around the Rim. 

This is not about the better analisys, back to back games, been at home or at the road, and any of these factors and statistics that we burn hours analizing, this is about being lucky and laying to the side that the league already ruled as the winner. One day or Two you could get Lucky and place your bet on a game that hasn't been Pre-Fixed, (as I'm not trying to say they fix all games) and those factors and Statistics that we use to analyze can follow their normal path, but not on a regular basis.   

This 2 last games of the Clippers are a Very Clear example of what I use to Call the Green Light Or Red Light.

That's why the NBA keep ripping us all the time. 

Good Luck to All in the Super Bowl. 

I Already Feel the Green Light will Be on the Seahawks Side tonight...

Enjoy the Game Fellas!.

You are correct sir. I am thrilled with the $25k and the once in a lifetime experience i've gotten out of this.

Haha. Sorry, but this theory isn't true. All but one of the picks was mine. The only one that wasn't, I tailed one of my new friends on the site who was on fire and the pick lost. The others i picked without researching until last nite. But I took the Spurs last nite after actually taking the time to look into the game, and I was just wrong. It happens. Win some, lose some. 

Also, I would not accept money to try and persuade other people to place their money on a line I think will lose. I hope people understand that I'm back to spending little to no time on my picks and have stopped tailing me. Hell, given my record in this contest when I'm not spending a couple hours a day researching, I almost hope people are fading me for their sake. but please know that if I make a pick and give my reasons for it, they are genuine. Best of luck to everyone in the Super Bowl and beyond.
