Can't really say what is going on but I'll be back whenever.  Not gonna be posting often in this rut. Very frustrating. Still 10 months left.

Hope your back sooner than later Scal, everyone goes cold at some point. It will turn, just as when someone gets hot it also eventually turns. In the end the cream rises, you definitely will.

They took from  both of them. They will not take from me. 2017 does not look so good now. That will change. I will make it change. They will pay for what they have done to my family and many others. That I promise. The universe will have to collapse in on itself to prevent this from happening. There are too many people that owe my family and many others large sums money. I will bleed that money from them. Little by little. I will take it...all of it. 

I can't help but think that you would have been well served if your parents kept some of that money they lost gambling and bought you some lessons in humility.
Instead, that lesson will be taught to you by the bookies, just as it was taught to your parents

Don't poke the wounded beast raging in the the darkness with bamboo sapling tip. 

One day you will leave Covers under your own volition because of the words you just typed. And I will be the one who orders you away. And go away you will.

I've won money with you and I've lost money with you. At the end of the day it's my decision to tail a play or not. I love the time and the effort that goes into your write ups. Unfortunately there is just no write up on earth to account for young kids making bonehead plays, turnovers, missed ft's etc. I always enjoy seeing your post and deciding if I'm gonna tail you on that play, I know one thing I never fade you. Best of luck the rest of the way. I know you'll turn it around, I've seen you post consistent winners for the last 3 years I've paid attention to your threads. Good luck and squeeze that money out of all of them.

Thanks guys (from post #59 on). I appreciate the encouragement.

And for that encouragement....

We are going back to the days of 70%.

We are going back to the days of you coming home and telling your wife that you are hopping on a plane to Aruba, that very night. I will put the snow white sand between your toes.

We are going back to the days where buy that Rolls Royce Ghost like it was a package of lightly salted Sun Chips, just for the hell of it.

We are going back to the days where the books sweat like war surgeons when they see you log on. Watch them scramble as they adjust lines instantly on your sharp takes which I will hand deliver like an envelope at the Oscars.

These days shall come to pass...

As shall the days Jorgan will no longer be on this site because I directed him to leave it...and Getty you'll be told to leave as well, per my direction, if you keep it up.

These days shall come to pass...

So he is now threatening others that on HIS say so they will be made to leave covers.

Talk about being full of ones self  "You will leave because I will say you will leave" 

Yes, as I said in post 44, it fits you. You'd do it in a heartbeat. That is a fact. You live and love the attention. End of story Scal. End of story

To add - None of this is remotely knocking your plays. We all win, we all lose. It happens. 

Should have been "You live for"

I heard many times that one needs atleast 500 play sample size before you can size up a capper....perhaps its true. 

best of luck going forward.

You would think he would atleast be able to say "sorry to anyone who tailed". The write-ups may be entertaining, but those picks were fundmentally bad. Betting against a Conn women's team that has won 101 games in a row? Don't step in front of the train, son.  Betting on Temple in a coin flip game that the numbers predicted UCF by a bucket? If the numbers don't back it up, don't bet it.

101 games in a row.

That's nice.

Unfortunately you forgot one small footnote:

The line closed at +31.5. 


Which makes a win in the box score by Uconn a win for the Temple bettor at the following spreads:

+1
+2
+3
+4
+5
+6
+7
+8
+9
+10
+11
+12
+13
+14
+15
+16
+17
+18
+19
+20
+21
+22
+23
+24
+25
+26
+27
+28
+29
+30
+31
+31.5

That makes your point about an outright WIN by Uconn, be it 1 or 100 consecutive, slightly less relevant when the spread is taken into account don't you think?


Double: We will never eat noodles again. This I promise!

Tough time of year to bet......pre-tournament college hoops is brutal. Lots of plays left this season.


But, I have to say it....Trump jinx????

Don't go on the list of who must leave. You don't want to hang your head in shame enduring such a command.

Monster- always a pleasure.

Hardly. He won by a mere 80,000 votes in four key states which gave him the election in a country of 310,000,000 people. 

The Trump backers lucked into the greatest election victory now or ever to be.


Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. And it's obvious he didn't even WANT to win the election. Imagine betting on a side that doesn't WANT to win!

Not really, imo. Apathy among voting bases every 4 years is completely normal. This time the GOP was galvanized in the right places, that's about it.

If anyone is seeing the reaction to GOP reps at town halls (which Fox News "curiously" scoffs at), the Dems winning in 2020 is a guarantee.

I was referring to your W/L record since the inauguration. Not really trying to be snarky, but there could be some subconscious reverse mojo at work here. Have you even won a bet since Obama left the White House in Marine One?  

Taking a break is usually the answer. Lord knows I take many per year. When it goes wrong it goes wrong.

As for your political synopsis....well, I am not even going to go there. There is absolutely no point.

I can't resist though....the GOP is not Trump and Trump is not the GOP.

Trump supporters hate the republicans, democrats and media elite equally. This is a point that most dems and journalists simply do not understand.

Have I won. 

Vern stop the foolishness with "have I won". I'll outcap you from Laramie to London.

Now put that oversized lampshade back on your head and shovel some tic-tacs in your mouth like Tramp.
