5 Units Rutgers

ILK - Good work, man. That was a great game. Seton Hall played to form, blowing a late game lead, and Rutgers made it competitive late, also to form.

Listen, I dont like what you do to Nropp. So I have had a problem with you. Its not that I like Nropp, necessarily. But I just dont like the idea of giving some poor sap a hard time. Nropp puts a lot of work into his write-ups. Has he ever won over the long run? Not that I have seen. But he tries. So when I see you kicking shit on him and giving him a hard time, I try to stick up for the 'little guy'.

Just wanted to get that out there as I have quoted some of your posts to him and said some things that may have been out of line.

Just from posts # 29 and 30 I could tell I like you.

Thanks, buddy. Was awful high on Rutgers early in the year - think they are one of the more talented teams in the Big East - they just get nothing out of it.

It feels good to see them win a game.

You should try a small lotto ticket tonight. Maybe the gambling gods are giving you a day where things turn your way?!?

Speak to you soon, buddy.

I like nropp. I don't wish bad luck on ANYONE. Except bookies.

He has good information, and all I did was point out his poor money management since he was down 10+ units or whatever it was, despite being X amount of games over .500 in a handicap market. Then his blood-sucking leeches come out to defend him, when all I was doing was offering my perspective, perhaps more than some like to read.

He never took me seriously, so I started joking about him using nothing but preseason rankings to find 5 unit bets. Well, it's partially true, he has an extreme bias toward teams he valued highly before the season, and there's nothing too bad about it, but when you fall for the same teams over and over and over, not just 1 unit, but 5 units after 5 units on the same team, one has to question himself.

I hope nropp is doing well, and I imagine he's doing ok. I know Wofford is in the NCAA tournament and I'm sure he was riding them throughout the SOCON tournament, but did he have money left beforehand? I don't know, he stopped posting.

I sort of just looked at it as piling on - which I may have been wrong and I will be the first to admit that.

But it was just this kid was starting to fucking tank and thats when everyone starts to offer advice. On top of offering advice, you have people who just want to flame another poster who is losing, so things can get out of hand quick.

I saw you posting these diatribes, at times, to this kid and while it wasnt bad information at all, I looked at it as the ole FU to nropp. Most posters deserve that, but this kid spends so much time it seems, that I would put him above most posters. So to see you tell this kid everything he has been doing wrong, I thought it was silly. He had to know what he was doing wrong, its just as gamblers people put their egos first, so he isnt going to change his ways.

But, I like your posts and I enjoy the dry humor you can provide. As I said, I may have been wrong. I forget how the leeches and sheep come out to blindly defend someone who 'won in the past.' I also wasnt around from the beginning and didnt see him not really taking you seriously. Just as he offers advice and opinions, he should be welcoming of them to his thread.

Good luck moving forward.



BU - Man, I have never seen the WS Trophy in person, color me jealous. Enjoy if you go buddy.

1 Unit LaSalle -1 2ndH
1 Unit LaSalle O79 2ndH

Teams that are dogged by 4 and 4.5 win outright more often than they lose. Its look NFL favorites of 5 and 5.5. Have no problem taking a team they were offering at 4 before the game at 10 now.

1 Unit Nova O69.5 2ndH

I made my money in the BE tourney for years betting Garden Unders. These things used to hit so much, it was silly. Now the books are overadjusting - this year First Half totals have been 12 point differences instead of 8.5-10 like a Regular Season game. They are shading the under and its obvious. Now, they drop this one? This is pissing me off.

I should be sitting on an under 74.5 bet here. But no, not a damn chance. They post a freaking 69.5. Its too damn low. I think its a loser, but they are screwing with the lines too much and I am going to try to take advantage.

Good luck RJ, I took the bait on the under here. I just don't think the scoring pace will keep up. I have a large bet on Nova for the game so if I lose this small bet I won't care as long as Nova still covers.

wolf - I dont necessarily think its bait. I was looking for the under myself. Its obvious they dont want you to bet it, which is usually a good thing.

tk - I am on GW full game and going to leave it alone, but gl with those pal.

tom - thanks man, you as well
