SamsNCharge99 · 01-21-09, 08:53 AM

007 Fatty, good luck to you man...I'm sorry you're going to be out after the 1st round

NBA Hero · 01-21-09, 10:48 AM

nonsense,
it seems your so excited to start the tourney. its a shame that the first few rounds wasnt shortened to maybe a week to weed out poor handicaper, i might be included on that coz bum teams doesnt like to come out playing at times on the court.
will try to give you a good fight unlike the high paid ball players.

I hear what you're saying NBA Hero...maybe have 2 weeks, and everyone will post maybe 25 picks and best record plays wrost record or something

Or even we all do this for a month and do 50 games and then we seed everyone 1-32, then each round is 1 week.

I don't think I can change what we have now, but even what we have now is a good system.

Good Luck

Sam, from my NBA knowledge I have to admit seeding me 31-32 is probably appropriate, but doing it for a shorter time would only help someone like me possibly get alittle lucky and pull off upset?

The longer it goes (2 weeks) the better man should preveil? Going to do my best! Follow CBB more but have 10 days to prepare.

Unsurity on behalf of a challenger....This calls for a line change, and SexyMit is now a bigger favorite.

tland you have just talked yourself into a line change. Obviously you are serious about winning this matchup, and this is a geat press clipping.

Chi_archie · 01-22-09, 08:21 AM

maybe this was already covered...

but what happens if your opponent doesn't show up for the round?

Dexter · 01-22-09, 09:31 AM

the longer each round is, the more "luck" reduces - though 2 weeks is still not a long period of time obviously.

SamsNCharge99 · 01-22-09, 09:34 AM

well the finals end about a week before the end of the season, so I really can't extend the tourney...the only way I could is if we had 16 people, but we have 32....We have what we have and I can't change anything.

The tourney will start when i said it starts. No earlier

Dexter · 01-22-09, 09:43 AM

the rules are in place - lets just leave as is

i know sam..it is what it is. luck is a factor in any tournament style setting. should be fun.

tland22 · 01-22-09, 09:49 AM

hahaha nice!

MrMonkey · 01-22-09, 11:38 AM

It Is What It Is!

CK, just keeping it real about my chances, I'm overvalued. Sexy Mit probably doesn't feel it, but I'm glad to be on the Versus Channel. Of course their viewing share is 0.8, but at least I know Africanroller will be watching! Roller, wait till my odds balloon, then lower the boom!

MrMonkey

PS By the way Dex, still 10 days to go and seems like your getting a little nervous about a possible loss to your opponent. Sounds like you already gave us the reason why you lost! My luck talking scaring you! Keep talking like that and the other fighter gonna knock your head off in the ring. NCAA's is one and done, bring your A game!

cocknocker · 01-22-09, 03:51 PM

Chi archie,

Then you have a bye until your challenger surfaces from their regional. I think a nice private message would be in order to all combatants!

Just like his match up with Sam, tland will receive a back hand!

cocknocker · 01-22-09, 03:53 PM

So far, I see no reason to change any of the lines for today, as there is money on both sides of the fece so far. As we get a little closer to the tournament, there may be a little shifting. But so far everything is calm, and obviously guys don't want their spreads to go up or down and everyone is avoiding the fact...

cocknocker · 01-22-09, 03:54 PM

And as i say that, it looks as if a line change may be on the way....

haha - not at all. i'm no professional, so i can use some luck as well. few back door covers, maybe lebron going down in the 1st qtr when i play against the cavs - little stuff like that to help the cause

SamsNCharge99 · 01-22-09, 06:05 PM

CK....WTF....I should be a 25 game favorite. Damn,

LOL...If I actually went 25-0 and my opponent or by all means, anyone went 0-25 or 25-0, they should auto win. or 0-25 never post again

cheesehead004 · 01-22-09, 06:47 PM

0-25 is more impressive than 25-0

SamsNCharge99 · 01-23-09, 09:26 AM

I'm thinking no one will get 0-25 or 25-0...I'm thinking I'm good record will be about 18-7.

What you think

cocknocker · 01-23-09, 11:06 AM

0-25 is way more impressive than 25-0 in my opinion too!

Dexter · 01-23-09, 11:33 AM

just to be clear, if one guy is 17-7 (71%) and the other guy is 15-5 (75%), the 75% guy would move on - correct? b/c the 71% guy may cover the lines ck puts out, but he shouldnt be moving on with a worse %. this is not total wins out of a set number of games. which is why i would think a money line would be best here mr cocknocker.

SamsNCharge99 · 01-23-09, 11:55 AM

well both guys are out b/c they didn;t get to 25...LOL, but if that were to happen, the higher win percentage moves on

alittlemoresound · 01-23-09, 11:59 AM

yesterdays boston bets

right...i was thinking 20-25, but its 25-30.

ck - fix them off lines!

SexyMit · 01-23-09, 02:57 PM

Wow I went from -1.5 to -2... Someone put some big money on me lol. CK how come I am the fav? You been following me on my posts or something? lol

vassman86 · 01-23-09, 03:36 PM

This doesn't look good! I'll be up at a cottage during Round 1 (Feb 6-8), so I'll be playing on a shorter week for the first round of this tourney.

cocknocker · 01-23-09, 05:38 PM

SexyMit,

you were already the favorite, and then your challenger had some bad press and the media got ahold of it, causing the spread to go up. I see everything, your osts, swagger, commentary. You can't hide anything from the linemaker...

Dexter,

It's all predicated on winning percentage, not the amount of wins. And the corresponding moneylines are next to the spreads, althoughas I have indicated, some of the lines will change, and some may change just right before tipoff.

vassman,

that is bad news. You just earned yourself a line change for that leak of information to the media.

nonsense48 · 01-23-09, 06:01 PM

well gang, time to close up shop and grab a bite to eat with my lovely lady. i'll post my with my wagers when i get to the ranch but as it stands now i'm going with det large, hou, atl, cle GOOD LUCK EVERYONE. sorry gang, wrong thread

cocknocker · 01-23-09, 06:08 PM

non,

That is viewed as a slight error in awareness of your surroundings, which may mean that you won't be a solid cover for road games. This is a tournament, and everything counts. I will give you a pass this time. You can't make those kinds of errors in this thread. Once again, everything counts...

SamsNCharge99 · 01-23-09, 06:59 PM
