Bulls loss was only by 24.5 with the spread     That's an improvement from the 30 point beatdown for Rutgers with the spread.  

Vandy wins by double figures too....  more bad luck.    


How's that +$7700 looking now?   Still on pace for $100,000 this year?

0-3 night for Hollywood.  LOL.  Games were all absolute blowout losers.  But he is flat betting.  LOL.  Dude, professional handicapping is not for you.  Your record speaks for itself.  

But you blame bad luck.  Fine, if you want to believe it.  Then you should stop.  Get a job and bet on the side.

CG can you check this math for me? 1 loss + another loss + a third loss = 0-3 right?   

"I'm down that money for what reason?  Cause I'm a bad handicapper? No, because of my poor money management".

Not sure why you haven't realized this yet, but you are down because of BOTH your poor/horrendous money management, AND your below average picks and capping ability.

It doesn't matter if you flat bet or release bombs, the end result will be the same - flat broke and 0% chance of success as a professional gambler.  Its done bro, its done.  

Looking at your pics, your cooking doesn't seem to be half as bad as your basketball picks.  TGI Friday's is hiring a line cook, hit them up.

It's nights like these that will test the resolve of even the most hardened gambler.

Hope you continue with the flat betting CG but the odds I'm taking that you will start bumping bets to 1.1K have falling off a cliff:

CG flat bets CBB (and doesn't increase any NFL bets) all week -1200
CG does not do the aforementioned +700

But I do give it to ya for one night. You can rest easy knowing you didn't blow the whole enchilada on these three games with something other than flat betting.

I suggest you take a look at Iowa@Rutgers tonight. I want to put action on it but I can't in good conscience lay -22.5 on the road with Iowa. 

Still, Rutgers has lost its past 5 games by an average of 31, were     outrebounded 63-27 vs. Purdue, had Purdue grab more rebounds than Rutgers scored points (63 to 57), suffered their worst home loss in their history vs. Purdue (110 years), had Coach Eddie Jordan respond "I don't think it was particularly bad" when he was asked about his defense in a game they lost by 50, have all three starting frontcourt players currently injured (which explains the rebounding disparity), and are now playing a team that is better than Purdue in Iowa! 

And the line only went up 2 points from 20.5 to 22.5 from Purdue to a better Iowa team. 


I am afraid of late game mercy and B team playing time from Iowa and also afraid the Rutgers team will attempt to salvage some granule of respect after that last loss and get inside this number. I think the universe would implode if Rutgers won the game. Again, I just can't bring myself to lay the number but if anyone is betting a side here, I'm all ears. I'd particularly want to hear from ballsy Rutgers backers.

Yup, but when he's on a good capping run he can say "hey look I'm flat betting so I'll keep hitting at this percentage all year and make 100k!"

Definition of delusional. 

BUTTTTTTTTT michfan, if he didn't have such awful luck (which in reality was in his FAVOR since football started) he'd be positives!

I'm sure he's capping his balls off right now....  checking which major conference games are on TV, got some tilapia prepped to cook, ripping fat lines of blow, headphones on listening to "this is my fight song"......

Hoping for video soon.....

I got $50 says he's at the AVN Expo and will be back posting his winners later, with a couple a C-rate adult "actresses" at his side, along with a handle of Captain and little baggie of fun stuff.

Update... NFL plays are made    NE -3 and Arizona +3:

Released today because figure would have no money left if I waited to Sunday with my hideous 1-7 basketball week. No bets until these two games. Been a great playoff run. Need to stay perfect


Does those sound like the words of a great capper who can only lose because of bad luck???

Looks like his GCICTB....  gambling career is circling the bowl

Damn, this thread is impossible to keep up with.  Is CG still going strong in Vegas, or is he giving head for $5 a pop in the tunnels?

my understanding of this part of the question is very,very clouded...if you cud just refer me back to the time when he was going strong??

unless you are reffering to banging milfs and raging against his interminable "bad luck"....his game has always been way strong in those departments.

Tilapia was/is CG's favorite dinner to have/make.

He hasn't brought it up in a while, perhaps he's switched to Mahi Mahi.  

Also for the record, I will not apologize for this, but I am slightly embarrassed at how much time I've spent in this thread, and how much I know about a complete strangers eating/drinking/gambling habits.

The day he drove into Vegas with his full bankroll is the day I am refering to.

The worst is trying to play catch up.  If Bermax is still around maybe he could run a program listing amount of posts we each have in this thread!

Looks like it's a COL for the football games, $15 left to his name if UCLA loses....


I used $330 on my final $345 on this game. I got laid last night and feeling lucky. Remember pats -3 and zona +3 pending also..
