@LeagueCapper How come your website is still requiring a large monthly subscription to enter the forum and see your plays then? Is there a different way to see your plays other than leaguecapper.com? Not sure I'm seeing where there is "no charge this season." |

Yep, Papa went on a hiatus after his last event on April 10th where he went 2-29 on his 31 plays. https://www.covers.com/forum/mixed-martial-arts-212/ufc-on-abc-2-vettori-vs-holland-103524448
He finally shows his face again, only to go 5-31 on his 36 plays tonight. That makes him an astonishing 7-60 in his last 2 events (67 plays). 67 plays in 2 events, really? But you won't see him recap this card tonight. He didn't recap his last card either. But he certainly recapped all his previous winning nights the moment they ended. Typical. This is how he's operated for years but people never want to call him on it. Probably won't see him again for another 3 months now. |

@CravinMorehead He hasn't shown his face in 4 weeks since he went 2-29 on his 31 plays back on April 10th.

The ol' 2-29 (-14.5*) w/ no recap. Funny how that works. Always around to recap the winning events, coincidentally. I'm not sure I've ever seen someone get only 2 bets right out of 31 on a UFC event before, including losing their first 20 bets of the night. 0-20 to start the card off. Impressive stuff. Come on Papa, you're better than that. Own the losing events the same way you own the winning ones. You've got a good eye for fights but you lose a little credibility when you disappear after a crappy event like that. The event was even during the day on Saturday so you've had plenty of time. But I'm sure it's not as big of a priority since nobody wants to recap a 2-29 record. I get it. |

any idea how the men's MITB should be graded? I'm using 5D and they're counting it as a loss. I'm speaking to support right now but that seems like a bunch of BS with Brock winning when he wasn't in the field of contestants

what am I posing as? You have made zero sense since your initial post. Good luck collecting your monopoly money later on

lol shocker, another poster posting fake units and fake bets, hoping to get a lucky hit and praise from strangers. It's fine, I'm sure you are REALLY rich and spend your precious time posting on a betting forum on a Saturday evening. That's what most high rollers do lol. Good luck trying to hit your 900 units

lol I call BS my friend. Show a ticket then

1 unit at +900 would yield 9 units....not 900....and it's not like it was a typo because then you would have said it yielded 90 units. Are you actually betting this play with real money?

I'm not quite sure you know what +900 actually means.....lol

any chance we can get some reasoning as to why you're on the Cowboys, seeing that it's your biggest wager of the weekend?

lol maybe a big reason is they have tried to book Khabib vs. Tony FOUR different times already, and each time one of them has had to pull out. I don't blame Dana & company for being a tad bit hesitant in making that a main event fight again going forward

The BEST Season Win Total Bet on the NFL Board: The SEATTLE SEAHAWKS. Capped. Right here...
in NFL Betting Haha that's fair enough, I didn't fully believe I had much of a strong argument there. Really just playing more of Devil's Advocate really. I'll take the C from you, as it seems like you grade on a harsh curve. "C's get degrees too!" As I said at the beginning of my post, I agreed with your assessment before the season started, as well as some of your points. Just wanted to hear you address some of those close losses as well, as Seattle continues to be a team that plays close games in both their wins and their losses. The 8 point loss to the Chargers is obviously the worst example, so I'm not surprised you didn't love that one lol. I'm not fully sure I agree with your stance on either of the Rams' wins though. That first game up in Seattle was very much up for grabs. McVay went for it on their final possession on 4th & short, where most coaches would punt it away. The Rams don't convert that and the Seahawks are already in Janikowski FG range for the win. Even if they punt it away, Russell had time to get them into FG range for the win. Also not sure how you can say the Rams were never in true danger on their home field in the 2nd game either. Seattle led the game 21-20 entering the 4th quarter and got the ball down to the Ram's 35 yard line, down 5, on their final drive. Russell had the ball in his hands with a chance to lead them down the field and win the game with a TD on the final possession but came up short. As someone who had the Rams ML in that game, as well as some live bets, I can assure you that I was sweating some 4th Q Russell heroics. They also led going into the 4th Q in Denver, as well, although you didn't address that one. The Bears game I conceded, as even though it was a 7 point loss, Seattle was trailing most of the game and never really had a legit chance to win that one. I definitely don't discount the Jimmy G injury either, so you're right, those 2 "freebies" that weren't a given when the season started. Overall, I'm not really even arguing against you or your points. Those situations likely don't compare equally to the unlucky wins Seattle achieved. I just felt like you weren't really addressing any of the results that might have been somewhat fortunate in your favor as well and I wanted to hear you counter it and explain your thoughts. Most people on here aren't really providing any solid counterarguments to you other than just "stop being a baby Scal, your bet sucked, and you can't take the loss." I have always enjoyed your write-ups and posts, regardless of the outcome. You seem to have a sharper mind than most on here and don't strictly stick to numbers and the obvious stuff that every book in the world has already factored into the line. I know you've talked about taking a break or walking away or whatever, but I hope to continue to see posts on plays from guys like you and LeagueCapper, since I consider you both 2 of the best long-term guys on here who can ignore the plethora of haters that continuously come out of the woodwork here when losing plays make their appearance. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

in NFL Betting Scal, I agree with a lot of your reasoning for making the wager that you did, so this is not a troll type of response by any means (like the rest of the circus in here). I'm asking a legit question and hope you find the time to respond at some point. You sat here and rattled off all of the "lucky wins" that Seattle had and the specific missed FG's or plays that happened to go their way in some of those victories. But did you HONESTLY take the same, unbiased approach to all of their close LOSSES? I mean, they have 5 losses and all 5 of those losses are by 8 points or less. They had the lead in the 4th q at Denver in Week 1 in a close game and lost by 3. The Rams & McVay had to convert a 4th down with under a minute to go in order to pull out a W in Seattle or else they were punting the ball back to Wilson or giving him great field position, only needing a FG to win that game and lost by 2. Seattle had 1st & Goal at the Chargers' 1-yard line, down 8, at home with enough time for 1 play and Russell was intercepted in the endzone (more brilliant goalline playcalling from Carrol). Then once again, in LA, Seattle was in a back and forth game with the Rams and had the ball at the end, in Rams territory with a chance to win the game but ultimately turned it over on downs to lose by 5. That's 4 of their 5 losses in which they had a chance to win or tie the game late in the 4th but were unable to pull it off. Don't some of those things matter just as much as the "close wins" they have? I didn't really see you give any reference to those situations because it seemed as if you already had your mind made up on this bet being an unlucky loss. Again, I agreed with your reasoning and would have made the same bet as well at the beginning of the season. So, I'm definitely not trolling or criticizing. I guess I just want to see if you will acknowledge some of the same lines of reasoning you had for the wins as the losses. I'm curious to hear your take. |

It won't matter when Milstead is on his back the entire fight getting grinded out and maybe even subbed. Johnson excels at wrestling and Milstead has horrific takedown D and is coming off a horrible knee injury. Any punch could land with guys this big but the most likely scenario is Johnson repeatedly putting Milstead on the mat en route to a decision or late stoppage victory IMO
