Strategy question.  Do you take Seattle -6x because everyone else will or do you try to make up ground somewhere else and pray for Baltimore to cover?

Not trying to be an a-hole, but please explain this to me.  How do you get to 56%?

in NFL Betting
Is there a thread for this yet?  Haven't seen one.  Lot's of people struggling.  It's early boys.  5-0 week gets almost everyone healthy.  Lines come out tonight.  First 3 weeks have been really tough for me.  Guess I'm not used to having to pick 5 sides.  This week the card looks a little better.  Anyway, good luck to all.  I'm still pulling for a Covers member to win it, hopefully me.

Holy cow rudy.  I haven't finalized my picks yet but i'm about 90% sure I'll have 4 out of your 5 picks in play.  Good luck to you this week for sure.

Tough, tough week for me.  I'm struggling to get 5 picks.  I've only got 3 so far, and they weren't easy.

One piece of advice.  If you are ever thinking about 2 entries to the SC - think twice.  I thought it would just be more fun - but it is brutal unless you have a predetermined strategy.  I wish I had thought about it a little bit more.

I am in chase mode now - and this week will have the identical picks on both cards.

Unless you can come up with 10 discrete picks per week - and then figure out how to split them - save yourself the headache.


Van-
Let me give you my 2 cents.  Here's what I would do if I was in your shoes.  Take a deep breath and just remove yourself from the situation.  Mentally tell yourself you have 1 entry into the contest.  Run with your 4-6 team as your only entry.  Make your picks accordingly each week.  Focus on getting your team's picks done before addressing team 2.  Now as far as team 2 goes: let it go.  Nobody wants to piss away $1500, but you don't strike me as the kind of person that's going to be affected.  Take team 2 and partner up with a friend or someone you respect as a bettor and let them make the decisions throughout the week.  Then brainstorm with them about their picks.  I think it's important to already have your selections made on team 1 before you talk to the other person.  This will take the pressure off of team 1.. you'll make your friend happy with a free roll of sorts.  If your friend's picks end up in the money cut them a piece, donate some to charity, etc.  You can always reserve the right to take a more active roll should team 2 get hot.

Hopkins is important piece to this Texans team.  Would really like to know if he's playing or not.  I'm assuming he will but don't like not knowing.

I could be wrong but didn't Van accept a buyout on the wager?  Hardly a welch if so.

3 people sitting at 10-0.  Thought it'd be a little higher after 108 at 5-0.

Be careful with the Royals.  Kluber has pitched well against them.  Vargas has been sketchy.  I like getting plus money with a scrappy team, but I think their Mojo is changing.  Kluber is getting no run support this year.  I like the under in this game.  Small play for me.

What's the reasoning behind not posting the ticket?  Somebody back home might see it?  I call BS.  This kid is full of sh*t.  Like the time he one-punched five dudes on the strip...

So, how does Covers find this guy? They couldn't find one guy in Cali or Washington that wanted to move? Kansas? Florida? No. Let's make it practically the longest trip possible outside of Maine........Jersey. Because we all know how much people love to hear about road trips

You give him a better car, in case he has to sell it. You certainly don't talk about the 13k he loaned relatives he never got back. More bullets for the Vegas gun, right?

He gets to Vegas. Covers tells him "Make sure you play up the humble act" First thing he writes about. Then, no better time than now to start banging MILFs and doing coke

And if this was choreographed, why not have him hook up with a stripper? He wrote about one, but actually hook up would have been a much better read. Instead, we get (including photo) the skinny MILF. He said he met a skinny MILF, and we get a photo of a skinny MILF. Why not a stripper? Plenty in Vegas to choose from, right?

His betting and videos PROVE this guy is an amatuer, and this was not set up. You simply cannot make this guy up. If this is a setup, you don't have him drop a 5k bomb and have him lose. You want to keep the character in the picture as long as you can. You certainly don't post a picture of a $5,000 losing ticket.

And why not have the CG out on the town, and actually seeing somebody famous? I mean, I hit Vegas three times a year for the last ten years, don't even stay on the Strip, and I've seen a couple of famous people. Came within 3 feet of Gilbert Gottfried (former AFLAC duck voice) at The Hilton (I will always call it that), didn't see him, but he was on the phone and just heard that whack voice. Visited Bellagio/Caesars just a few times, but saw Celine Dion at Caesars walking around. Nobody bothered her due to the large, black humanoid walking just behind her...........

I mean, you're not gonna say "I was in line at this buffet, and I was standing next to George Clooney!" But no. Our Boy CG doesn't even like buffets, just caps in the morning, works out, the trip to Wells Fargo, or the Rio for the "best lines" He didn't even have to do that once he got the line app! Still, you gotta walk all over the place in every casino to find every sportsbook.............and nothing? Not even the gal selling cell phones to Mark Cuban? 

Then, as the countdown of cash steadily dwindles, you cut him off completely? You don't go ALL THE WAY? Just the fact they kept his thread in the PBox after rehab instead of GD gives one pause.

I'd write more, but I'm watching history in the making at The Masters, and gotta go.

You folks take care, and decide for yourselves.
How is this possible?
