You should know as a long time observer... what makes this forum is discussion/observations.  Picking games with "no rhyme or reason" adds nothing at all to the forum.

Granted there are plenty of posters that just pick plays... but most of these guys that have followers at least started by saying WHY.

I see so many people give their analysis on games, and yes it helps people with their picks, but I'm not trying to write an essay on why I think Wash St. wins this game.  I'm a numbers guy and I understand that staats are very relevant to particular matchups, but in the end the game is not played on paper.  I look for situational spots and try to read what side Vegas is wanting you to take..... I've been pretty successful in gambling the past ten years and just want to "try" and help others out on this forum as the many of you have helped me. I'm hoping my record speaks for itself in the future.  Good Luck to you and Me as this is my first pick posted.....

They got spanked by them by 14 less than a month ago, Arizona has been rolling here lately, and the spread is sitting at anywhere from 2-3.... HMMMMMMMMM..... I can't deny that I like the fact that Arizona is a top bet today too.... Good Luck Bro

Ok, thanks for letting me know.  I will avoid your thread, if you are too lazy to even write up a simple explanation of why.  Don't need an essay, just a simple sentence or two.  But if that is too much for you, BOL anyway.

I am with you on this...just gotta take what Vegas gives you and try to be on the right side. I'm guessing you were on the Lobos last night as well? Clemson and LSU two nights ago?

Nothing to do with being lazy bro, I'm hoping to get a good record here started and hopefully let it speak for itself.... Quick analysis to the game: Revenge, and spread is too low!!!!! Good Luck to ya

See Temple Owls last night, sir. Not saying it won't win just saying I don't like it. I will not bet it either way.

That may be what "makes the forum" to you, but it's not even remotely close to what makes the forum valuable to me as well as others. I see way too many tools who just want to be critical of someone else and offer nothing valuable, such as yourself. Of course, this is just my opinion.

A pick is a pick. Who needs an essay??? If you don't like the pick, leave it alone!! Some guys seem to just feel better when someone writes a long winded reason.

As you already know, not so well.... Everything was fine until the last 8 free throws..... I've been on both sides of a game that ended the way this particular one did. Wrong side this time!!!!!! Woulda, coulda, shoulda, blah, it's gambling, but was confident in that pick throughout the whole game.  We'll see what tomorrow brings.....
