Diehard wins the week with a 16 spot. Maybe that "co word" has me freaked out......yes I will get some help maybe a "Dummies for gamblers" book? Monday in week 5 there are 9 games with double digits lines some big and 4 off games most likely to have lines before long. The Ohio State -15.5 at Nebraska is interesting.

Tour2ma Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 With 15 correct Mark O wins the week in a tiebreaker over TGZ (and Salma)... After a dismal start Tour (that's me... ) put together the weeks longest string (7) to post a respectable finish. And with their win Mark and Z move into 1st and 2nd places for the season to date...

mjp28 Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 It was an close finish with TGZ pulling a four straight to tie for the most points. Together with Mark O they moved up in the standings. .....oh I'll give Tour my "Dummies for gambling" book when I'm done with it. I had to take MS ST and UK, d'oh.

mjp28 Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 WEEK 6 Tuesday lines out of the 25 games there are 10 are double digit dogs and 2 off games. There are 3 top 25 matchups including #25 MST at #4 OHIO STATE. Should be a good weekend of football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdue (playing PSU) and Utah St (playing LSU) were having the most problems attracting money, so both lines increased by 3. A couple other dogs were given 2.5 more. Dogs that still can't get on the board are Tennessee (hosting UGA) and Cincinnati (Hosting UCF???). These Dogs are pulling single digit selections as an "off" on Yahoo (3% and 8% respectively) and it would take a ton for me to get off UGA.... but UC??? Something in the teens could sway me.

The books are getting smart they don't want to get killed on a bad early line and big money jumping on it. Now they wait on questionable games and release later.

Among other nerdy things I do watch the opening lines and the M--->T line changes I generally then make my picks and just monitor the W, Th, F notable changes. That way you don't forget to pick and miss the early games. Big jumps there generally mean late injuries have popped up and warrant the change......or somebody just got thrown in jail.

mjp28 Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Well we all basically stunk it up again this week with only Woody and The Great Zombo barely breaking .500 at 12-11-2 and Woody winning the week on a tiebreaker. It looks like the rest of us picked the same losers. Oh and the big talley we're chasing TGZ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 And WEEK 7 is here Monday's opening lines show 10 double digit dogs, 5 off (0) and 3 games between top 25 teams. With 9 weeks to go we are still chasing TGZ but as they say "that's why we play the game"....... everything is still up for grabs. Oh and if anyone wants to borrow my Dummies book for gambling just ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 Well WEEK 7 was quite interesting to say the least. DieHard finished with an incredible finish and a decent 17 wins followed by jrb and Browns149 at 16. At least everyone finished with double digit wins out of 24 games. On to WEEK 8 and the fight for first is still held by TGB followed by DieHard and MarkO it is still anyone's game. Oh and my Dummies book is up for sale I was a better Dummy without it. Do I here $0.01? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 OK 7 weeks down and 8 weeks to go in the NCAA pickem tournament. WEEK 8 Monday opening lines show 8 double digit and 3 off (0) games which means a lot of close games this week. Looking closer there are 2 Friday games, only 3 top 25 matchups and NONE among top 10 teams. Conference games are however in full swing. The most intriguing game might be in Happy Valley: (7)Penn St. vs (16)Michigan 7.5 -- -- -- Sat 10/19 07:30 PM So get your lucky betting coin or your Ouija board or maybe ask your spouse on what to pick and good luck!

Might come down to the late night games. There are 3 guys at 10-4 also. Good luck, might be a late night finish and some really good scores! ..........edit add, wow what a week!

Tour2ma Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Woody and FlyinJ win the week posting 18...a new high for this season. Thru Week 8 DieHard, who posted a 17-spot for the 2nd week in a row, holds a one winner edge over "archenemy", Woody. The two remain slightly separated form the field... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 And the two time defending champion mjp hasn't won a single week this year and is mired in this slump.......his brain cells must have abandoned the NCAA for that dreaded NFL pickem. Even the Dummies book didn't help. But all it takes is one really great week or several steady good weeks, there's always next week, if at first you don't succeed......awwww screw it I'll ask my wife next week. .........oh and congratulations to our leaders nice week!

mjp28 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Well boys and girls WEEK 9 is here and 7 to go and it's still pretty much anyone's game to make the top 3 or win it all. The Monday lines show 9 double digit games 5 off (0) which should have lines soon and finally NO FRIDAY GAMES to forget to play hallelujah! And the YTD stuff still narrowly led by DieHard, well just look....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 IMPORTANT NOTE:. PITTSBURGH plays MIAMI twice this week......well 1 each in college and pro. Of our 25 games now one off game and a high 16 line changes from M--->T. the early money adjustments, normally very few changes come later more tweaking or a major injury....or someone got thrown in jail. I make my preliminary picks Tuesday and rarely change them afterward..... just FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Well with 9 weeks in the bag and only 6 weeks left to go you can clearly see where the NCAA brain trust is this year. Woody and diehard are in the lead closely followed by Mark who have won 8 of 9 weeks so far. Only The Great Zombo won one, he must have got some pretty good.liquor that weekend. . It's not easy to hit 17 or 18 wins out of 25 games that's around 70% and would be among the best handicappers in Las Vegas......even diehard! So on to week 10 and see who can win the week's pickem who knows even our defending champ might be there he did get 18 last week oh losers..... 7-18. Hey. that's hard to do!
