It was Christmas for me . . . . . . . .

USC -3 (-110)

USC/Cal Under 58.5 (-110)


BOL this weekend man. Don't let one game, and a bunch of nonsense posts spoil your week. We still got a big old bowl full of games to bet on this weekend. Don't waste time reading bullshit, that's time you could be discovering your next move.


Recapping Thursday's game however, I loved that Tedford used Sofele more, he is so explosive, and brings a whole other element to the offense because he can catch passes as well being an original recruited receiver. Maynard and Tedford just aren't playing on the same field right now, and that's why I road the favorite in this game. Tedford has a solid playbook, but no plays are designed for Maynard's style.

No worries, dude. You'll hopefully do better next time.

I echo what numerous posters have stated, though. When you put in big caps that this is your BIGGEST PLAY OF THE YEAR, you were begging for attention. You got and enjoyed the positive attention BEFORE the game, and now have dealt with the NEGATIVE attention for your play getting bullwhipped. If your selection had won and covered, you would be basking in the glory and adulation you were seeking. Fact.

The risk/reward ration for starting threads like this is well known.

GL2U next time. I will keep my eye open for your future threads.

Hermes-

Dont get caught up in the nonsense. If you would have won, somebody would have said-"yeah-but your take was way off-you got lucky. USC was still the right play."  Post your plays- give a write up if you want and hopefully cash. If not expect to take some heat-don't be surprised and don't add fuel to the fire. Move on-they will get bored, if not it turns into a feeding frenzy. They smell blood. Take  in 3 team parlay. Thank me Sunday with a POD!

HERMES, hold your head man, dont get caught up in all the hating on here. You played what you believed in, there is nothing wrong with that, none of this shit is guaranteed. The hate comes from the people that probably tailed you and lost, becuz they cant cap a game. Hey no one put a gun to their head and made them tail you, Keep doing what you are doing, GL to you this weekend......................

i never understood haters, its quite pathetic....you got a game wrong, ok not the end of the world. you just had a bad read on the game. or did you? What if all those bonehead turnovers didnt happen. Cal had more yards then USC i believe, USC was just always on Cal territory. Good luck on your next pick.

Hermes - shake it off buddy.  People need to recognize that "plays of the year" do not hit 100% of the time, far from it.  You saw something you liked and played it.  It's just another game.  Plenty more games this weekend

I followed your picks and lost but I don't blame you it was my decision to to make those picks.  As for everyone bashing you, If its good natured, great thats what friends do.  As for the haters,  Grow a pair and post your picks, Sissies.  Keep up the good work we can still have a winning week.

WTF ??? WOW THIS SHIT IS AMAZING!!! 

I hate to read threads titled POY or BIGGEST PLAY OF MY LIFE ETC...  but at the end we have to respect how others decide to post!!! Now if we were talking about a deuchebag or Asshole posting this shit, then go ahead get him back!!!!!!  But HERMES ?? come on !! The guy is very respectful and does not bash other for the hell of it!!! So give the guy a break!!!!!! 

I MEAN THE NORMAL THING TO DO HERE WOULD BE TO TELL THE MAN TO KEEP HIS HEAD UP!, KEEP GRIDING!! OR ANY KIND WORDS RIGHT? 

Think about it, POY = a lot of $$$.  The guy just lost a good amount of cash and you are rubbing it in his face? Why?, How?

Truth be told, I really believe that all those people that come to someone's thread to laugh or mock at the fact that they lost, are broke ass Mother F#CKER$ that probably bet $10 as a large bet and are only here for attention and record BS!!! Real gamblers are here to share knowledge and most importantly to win $$$money$$$ Real gamblers know how hard it is to lose money and it's to hard to even think they have the stomach to make fun at someone that just lost money!! because we know it could happen to us as it's happen before!!!
Who makes fun of this? Assholes that don't bet shit so they don't know what it feels!!! They are just here to waste everyone's time!!!!

And we do more or less stink this year.  Lane kiffin makes very suspect calls (ie. going for it on 4th down at mid-field when up by 14 against Arizona with 2 minutes to go - only to allow a backdoor cover by UA...or all of his 2 point attempts early in games) and that's why I bet AGAINST them when UA came to town and got +14

That said, I would not bet Cal.  I'm not saying to be SC though.  But MAynard looks like a rag doll, and SC still has talent, AND We own Cal over the years.  I'll take Barkley-Woods over Maynard-marvin all day.  I think SC rolls in this one and i'll probably play a little as a fan fav, but nothing big

Only angle that scares me as a SC backer is "Thursday night home dog"

Make that 8 years in a row of Cal getting their asses kicked by SC

There have been a few cappers here who deserve some bashing for how they make their picks.  I dont know where you get off that he was begging for attention.  He gave a pick, and a very detailed reason why he made that pick.  It was his strongest play YTD.  Read some of these other threads and you'll see some begging for attention.Anyhow, no more wasting time on your stupid comment.

Hermes, keep up the analysis.  You get more right than wrong, and you do give useful info.
