NFL SUNDAY FUNDAY Oct 9 gifts for you degenerates

@vanzack

 Thank you Van for you awesome picks!

 Thank you Van for you awesome picks!

Covers is so toxic.

I come here to talk football with other football bettors.  Yesterday, I went 4-5.  This season - I dont know for sure - but I am up on my posted picks.  And they are free.

And thats not good enough.  Unless someone wins EVERY pick they post, it isnt good enough.

Simple request....  Lets keep it to the topic in my threads.  I realize every bum on this site trying to make a name for themselves picks out a vet with clout (me, Train etc) to pick a fight with so you can gain your own clout - but go somewhere else losers.

Thanks for that Buffalo pick @vanzack, much appreciated..

Honestly, there are always going to be trolls who will leave negative comments. The lion doesn’t give a crap about what the hyenas are laughing about. Keep up the great work.

LOL IrishPlots...good analogy !!!

Damn Van, I always hate to be opposite of any of your plays, NO MATTER WHAT ! 

Well, I rolled with the Chiefs/ my bankroll got hit pretty hard. 

Great call on the Bill's 

Anything for tonight ? I usually don't like to give to much chalk,but Is hard not to play the Raven's specially the way Indy has been playing. Any thoughts on tonights game ? Perhaps start a new thread and lets get a winner 

@vanzack

 to be fair i am seeing 4-7 for yesterdays picks (post #1 and bills +3)

law of averages 

keep er rollin though, you definitely killed it the other week

Dubz 

Why are you trolling vanzack?

You went 0-2 yesterday.

@masterkush

 not trolling whatsoever.....basic math based on post #1 and the bills pick....-4 units.....simple stuff

he is on fire to start the season like i said......

double post.

Cmon

You don’t have to point out the obvious. It’s just comes across as petty.

Too say “ law of averages “ maybe true but it’s not what someone wants to hear after having a bad week.

I know you are a low key record nazi but it’s not like Vanzack has posted a record from the start.

We all have bad days, weeks, etc but we don’t go taunting people.

you would get a penalty in the NFL for that

@IrishPlots

 Assuming I have permission to use that analogy.

Van, 

The advent of legalization in many states is the main driver of the quality of the poster going downhill. No question about it. 

@masterkush

 VZ of all posters knows the law of averages and understands the numbers game better than most on here

just pointing out a simple error on his behalf....unless post #1 is inaccurate and he didnt bet it all

im sure he wants accurate numbers, as he is a numbers guy......

@dubz4dummyz

Not sure how you would do the record...  But when you bet a team + points, and split that wager with a ML wager - that counts in a record?

I guess the important thing is units.  But otherwise - why would anyone post a big ML underdog?

Anyway - who cares - I say 4-5 you say 4-7.

All good everyone.

Will be posting tonights pick soon.

I am curious about this record thing....

Mostly because I bet a lot of soccer.  There is a soccer wager where it is split between two bets.  For instance, you can bet PK and -.5, which means half of your wager is on PK and half on -.5.  You could also bet those two wagers separately and just split the money.

So if you bet those together as PK and -.5 in one bet, you would be 1-0 if you won, but if you bet them separately you would be 2-0?

I look at betting a +2.5 dog in NFL, and putting some on the ML as one bet for recordkeeping (not that I have to recordkeep anywhere but covers).  But if I am going to follow the Marquess of Queensbury rules for Covers Recordkeeping - what is the official Covers Forum Posters rule about this situation?

Thanks in advance.  I will adhere to the finality of this decision.

@vanzack

 Since its two separate bets I would consider it 2-0.

Since you could win a +2.5 and still lose ML so it would be 1-1

just my two cents

@vanzack

 very simple, each bet counts towards the individual pick record.....

miami didnt cover and didnt win outright....0-2

same with the browns....0-2

@vanzack

of course as said in post #98 miami could have easily covered +10.5 and lost on the ML, which would be 1-1

edit- i am somewhat alarmed that you had to ask about this......unless your just joking/looking for responses

Got it.  I will adjust and learn from this.

I always counted it as 1.  If they split, it was just a push.  Even on the winning side.

So when I said I was 4-5 yesterday, it was only because the week before I think I said I was 7-0, when I was actually maybe 9 or 10-0 using this method.

I would suggest one thing to maybe reconsider to the Marquess of Queensbury Covers Forum Recordkeeping Posting Panel - your suggested method of recordkeeping unfairly rewards people who post big favorite MLs and also unfairly hurts people who post big dog MLs.

Since I gamble and post on covers for one thing and one thing only - my record - I am going to have to think about posting only favorites of -500 and larger so that my record can be up around 80%.  That will get me some major online clout.  And it will be documented, and approved by the official covers recordkeepers alliance.

Thanks.

I am alarmed that you don't see the problem with this.

If someone actually cared about their record on covers - WHICH I DESPERATELY DO - why would anyone ever post an underdog?  Dont you think this hurts the community as a whole because you are punishing those who post dogs and only rewarding those who post favs?

Please consider this at your next recordkeeping panel meeting.  Dont be alarmed.  Just think of the implications.
