Just want to say im a little suprised that people come after you or anybody else about any plays. I love the in-depth analysis by you and others.... Like Double-up and megatron and strangelove, david n, td, etc.... I could go on... I dont come here looking for plays... More to get info that i may not have had or to hear a different take.... For the most part, i bet my own plays and look for affirmations of my decisions.... Gambling on sports is a crapshoot and at the very LEAST, you guys provide info that helps. Keep doing it. Its much appreciated. I dunno why people expect free money... If it was that easy, we'd all be rich right?! Lol

Jimmy, Welcome back.  Keep doing your thing.  I was hoping I'd hear back from you in my week 2 thread, you know, show some love acknowledging a solid Auburn play  .....

Maybe I do know something after all.

No problem.

I just didn't appreciate being called out unsolicited in my own thread (that's where that came from)....

If I were to do that and be wrong, I'd at least go back later and say I was wrong.  Congratulate the guy on a good read on that game & a winning play.

I'm having a tough day with some things on my mind.... Agree with you, probably shouldn't have even posted.  But it does get old when it's ok for the jabs to go down a one way street.

Jimmy, I'm with you 100%.  Even Christ only got 11 out of 12 apostles You're smarter than I am and I'd take your record in a heart beat.  Thank you for all you do.  Just remember, you catch a cold I get pneumonia.  If you go private, I'm in!

JTF

Thanks for the Miami advice last week. One stumper on my card. Do you have any opinion on Cal plus 8 versus Texas. I thought the Texas offense has looked good but  I read Cal is averaging like 600 yds /game. Last year they won in Texas

Jimmy it's easy to play from the armchair or critique those audacious enough to post selections themselves. There are different groups of people who gamble be it table games or sports. 

I will not list all the categories I have for each type but those who like to rip in forums after someone loses is the weakest kind of bettor. They usually didn't play many sports if any, but feel like they will never lose. Or if they lose it was someone else's fault or the game was fixed.

So they vent after losses or bad streaks. Hell Northwestern scored one touchdown and it came on a fourth down conversion against Illinois State. Then allowed a last minute drive and field goal to lose straight up lol.

Maybe those Northwestern kids really want to be paid like Div 1 players deserve of they are engaging in point shaving to earn a salary? Doesn't matter no one coerced me to picking them but I did and losses happen.

As you mentioned if you can't take losing then maybe you aren't cut out for gambling or life period. Don't berate veterans members in this forum because you feel the world is against you after losing. It's part of the activity. If you don't like it quit.

I have respect for your posts and look forward to Alabama on Saturday. Not from there nor did I attend the school, but I love Saban's approach. It's almost inhuman coupled with the results.

Since he's been there practically all of their few losses are due to a few components. Freak plays, mobile QBs who played incredibly, or lack of concentration in a bowl game due to self inflicted mistakes. You can't ignore the results. Nobody does it better and plays fundamentally sound football

Best of luck Jimmy, I got a hunch it's close first half and Bama lays the wood on this team second half. A couple of situations point to this. First of all an SEC home game is a big edge, unbelievably crazy in those rockin stadiums. But how long can this thin Ole Miss team hang with this loaded Bama team. Mel Kipper has 6 of the his top 25 draft picks on Bama. I am leaning towards Bama -10.5 but really love them second half if the game is close.

BOL in week three Jimmy! I took a beating in week three overall as I went 1-4 on some nfl games but this isn't nfl thread so I'll save everyone from the details. But I did tail you on the South Florida best bet thank you sir for your insight and like many have said before tail at your own risk. Love your write ups.

I like all three. I've pulled the trigger on bama at -10.5 (-115) still considering the other two. Haven't been doing so well on my OVER/UNDER plays so I'm a little hesitant but who knows I may just give it a go.
