Bulls hit with flu bug

Nice catch. What channel were you listening to where you got this?

AM 1000 here in SW Ontario. Station only comes in at night. Clear as crystal at night. The coach was doing a pre-game interview with the bulls commentators and was saying about 5 or so players were "feeling under the weather" as they've been "hit by the flu bug." I was looking at the game earlier as the 6ers were due but couldn't pull the trigger. Decided to listen to pre-game to see if there was any scoop and the coach blurts out this flu bug stuff. I know the 6ers suck but I figured with the bulls having the flu and the 6ers desperately needing a win I'd put a unit on the 6ers at at -2.

Good stuff, I wish I had known about that, I would have put a few units on it myself.

They were playing like it the first quarter for sure...down 18 early but seem to be charging back

Was feeling good when the score was 16-5 but it's now 37 to 36. Pretty tight. Can only hope the bulls get fatigued by midway through the 4th Q. Had they been playing a quality team I would have bet real big on the ML but given they're playing phily I went very small.

You'd swear in the first Q the bulls were phucked. Now the 6ers are playing like they've got the flu. Bulls 56 and 6ers 46. Damnit!

Bulls have history of playing well with the Flu. Ok, well Jordan did.

If they indeed are troubled by the flu, they will get weak in the 4th.

**buztah** · 01-11-08, 08:39 PM

Sure hope so. Only a unit but still hate to lose, particularly when I felt like I had a good scoop. 62-50 bulls.

**onlooker** · 01-11-08, 08:43 PM

I hope their fevers start in the locker room and start feeling like complete sheit for you buztah.

Here is to a 76ers 30-12 3rd quarter.

**buztah** · 01-11-08, 08:48 PM

70-58 bulls after 3. In the words of Hank Webber; PHUCK ME!

I meant 4th quarter.

**buztah** · 01-11-08, 08:55 PM

It's over. Phuck me!!!!!!!!!

**The HG** · 01-11-08, 09:15 PM

Buztah, I think it was a fine thing to do. It was definitely one of those "one-off" capping scenarios, and the fact that you only put 1 unit on it shows you were disciplined with money management.

All in all, I see this as a decent shot you took, with a prudent amount bet. If I had made this bet (and I probably would have) I wouldn't feel bad about it at all.

**buztah** · 01-11-08, 09:18 PM

Thanks, HG. I had a slight lean toward philly anyway and the info just pushed me to that direction. One unit less in the old account. Hopefully I can have a big weekend in the NFL for a change. GL, sir!
