Too often you cap with your heart and it burns you. You went against Wyoming at home.....AGAIN....because of some personal vendetta. You clearly can't cap the MW. I question your obsession with it. You make excuses for every loss rather than just having class and admitting you got it wrong. You hurl insults as a defense mechanism because you are feeble minded and currently being exposed. And while this is going on, while you're failing a capping the MW, a conference I specialize in, Purdue wins and covers. A team you correctly capped in the preseason. That's what I mean by getting back to basics, capping with your head instead of your heart. That way you wouldn't be having the epic, cryfest meltdowns you've been having over the last few pages of this thread. Have some dignity.
See stu, your opening salvo against me is something I've had to destroy Packers for with regard to the Purdue tease.
A 2.5 point line ALMOST ALWAYS loses OUTRIGHT if it is going to lose because well, games are typically decided by FIELD GOALS which are 3 points on the low end and TD's which are 7 points on the high end.
So the best line was NOT moot.
At 13-9 I'm in good shape as Wyoming has to drive 60 yards and score a TD to win even in the snow. At 13-9 for the 4.5 pt bettor which the line closed at, he is DEAD and is looking to the NFL games before the game is over.
And this 'suck at capping' point:
I want to say this unequivocally. Every single situation has its lowest low.
In a fight if you kick a guy in the teeth when he's knocked out, that it.
If you are a thief and you steal from a blind man that is it.
If you are a politician and you rape the poor of their benefits, that is it.
And in capping, if you come in AFTER a game is over and tell someone everything that was wrong with their pick particularly without saying anything before the pick started, THAT IS IT.
That is the lowest low. There is no lower.
And Stump and Hugh and Packers and Gimmee and all the rest do this EVERY SINGLE PICK THAT LOSES.
It's not an isolated incident, its habitual and a disease.
And that is what this site has become, a disease to capping.
because of posters ....like them.
Enjoy!
That is covers future
