And since I tout "probablities" and whatnot -- I've got Giants +3.5 Monday Night.

What's the probability that I can go 7 for 7?

I'd have to say "not very good."

So, by that logic, Dallas at -3.5 is probably lead-piped.

As I already mentioned (but then again, odds dictate that you usually have to tell bitches stuff twice), I rarely see CFB games I like(plus, gambling on the NFL is really easy in Oregon, since the state runs the parlay game. It's much easier to deal with 7-11 than a sportsbook...program ends after this season, in exchange for a March Madness regional, with future promise of the Final Four. Been going sine 1990, or thereabouts).

I just happened to really like NU over Texas.

The Pick'Em game here...can't be bothered. I encourage others to get the maximum enjoyment out if it, though...except for Vannie.

Well, that sucks then.

:-)

Hand picking games vs having to pick ten from a set list, which is the deal here...

Be kinda cool to see how the U&L Tony Soprano hisself would do here. Mgo pretty much made me get involved with it, belatedly, but now that I'm doing it I'm having fun with it.

Fun, and free gryos lunches, courtesy of poor ol' Stranded Texan and our weekly Pick 'Em totals bet...

No you don't. You've picked games on this board 4 times. You lost your ass the first two (including an epic 0-10) and bounced back with a very good week last week.

And at 11-9, I doubt you would have made money, at least not much, with the jucie and all.

Why do you think I switched to making more picks? So that way I couldn't get credit for doing better than what I picked on here? I picked only a few games previously and it just so happened that every fucking game I picked on here was one of the minority of games I missed. I'll continue making picks and you can keep doubting while I continue winning. On the season, in games I've picked (and these are just merely picks for shits and giggles....no money), I'm at 58.9%. Usually do about 20-25 a week. But in my Pick-6 league I'm only 23-25. Go figure. That's why I like making more picks because I actually do very good against the spread but have really bad luck when it comes to just picking a few games each week......and that would be the reason for my struggles in my Pick-6 league and when I only made a few picks per week on here. I can continue to prove my winning ways if you so choose to disbelieve my picks. I'm all about proving others wrong, and I will.

As for the 11-9 making money, I am not certain because I do not bet on sports (other than small bets amongst friends). I'm pretty sure the normal gambling sites make it 110/100 against the spread, so that means that 11-9 would slightly be in the black. Perhaps one of the degenerates on here could clear this up.

Knowing what a parrot this bandwagoning board bitch is no doubt he is coping those picks and little "editorials" he post with them from somewhere on-line. It will be funnier than hell when he is found out.
Fuck the ACLU. It will always be Merry Christmas to me.
