I got to say, I hope machine doesn't respond. His picks are not quantity, they are quality. I'd hate to see him change his style for a challenge. Theres no way he's popping out 25 picks in a week, he does maybe 10 a week and wins 70%. "Don't mess with a machine". haha.

don't worry about the ride ck, some dude in a red 18 wheeler just picked me up. He doesn't talk much, and seems a little creepy, but I think he'll get me to where I need to be.Comment -
Good looking mikey thats a Sacred Heart secret play right there lolComment -
I want his rims watch and chain, it doesn't matter what he wants at this point. it's all about what i want. I heard he was the best, so he is the one who needs to overcome in order for my family to prosper. He can take as long as he wants with his 25 picks, whether it takes him two days or two months. You are co-signing for him so i really have to get you out of the car now! I got to get him jaymac, and that's that. He's been too comfortable over here. I've got to shake things up a bit. He still can't believe that he's got me rushing him like this. It's being done out of respect and infinite possibilities. My picks won't be of quantity over here. All that is for the NBA threads. This is my temporary home so I must make all of my hits nice.. neat, clean..Comment -
booked plays-
nets +1.5
sixers +3
blazers -10.5 (big)Comment -
jaymac,
I can't believe that you are gonna sit there with a straight face and tell me that you don't know or haven't figured out that this Machines' Choice guy is buying picks and passing them off as his own. I know you're more smarter than that. Yuo can always spot a pick buyer by telling them to make their picks the night before and THEN you weigh his success rate. I would like to see what he can do playing his plays the night before, when the top sellers aren't offering picks for pay yet. I have been doing this a long time, and I know a pick buyer when I see one. He has all the traits.. CK Secret Plays are good clean money and I am the author of each of those picks. I don't quite know if I can say the same about that gentleman... Believe what you want. Everybody needs something to believe in. If they didn't have anything, they would make something up to believe in.Comment -
I dont care where the hell he is getting his picks,he could be drawing names out of a hat,if he keeps hitting 70 percent ill keep following along.Comment -
ck,
not everyone that decides not to pick games the night before and is good is buying picks,you seem to think that for some reason you cant pick games the day of and be good unless you are paying for picks. Thats odd to me.Comment -
ck,
He could be a pick buyer, thats fine with me. Who ever he's buying picks from is the man. The thing is, when you buy picks, you still have to pick which one you like best. Dr. Bob sells 2 or 3 a night, and he isn't 70% winning - not lately!. Anyways, you may be right, you probably are. But that doesn't change the fact that what the Machine is ultimately posting is winners.
It's cool Ck, we're cool. I'm not mad at you for throwing me out of the car. That ride is whack anyways! I got a rep to maintain too. I can't be seen cruising around in no orange mustang! This isn't Menace To Society ya know. Ditch the rustang 5-point-slow, grab a better set of wheels, and come scoop me up. This 18 wheeler guy is freaking me out, he doesn't talk at all, and there are weird sounds coming from the trailer. I'm over at Burger King smoking down a couple whopper jr's. Beep when you get here.Comment -

USE FOR YOUR OWN DISCRETION ....Comment -
and, he doesn't seem to passing off anything as "his own". there is no personality, no talk, just picks. Sure they are being placed under the handle "Machine Choice", but there are no other interactions. Machine could be Dex using a different user name and giving out picks he paid for - for free. I'll take them.Comment -
im pretty sure CK is just roleplaying and thats a good smacktalking angle
i for one am not entertained bu tkeep the picks comin
Comment -
DEX! Where were you the morning of January 26th???? Somewhere around the time of 6 am??? Don't look over there! ANSWER ME! I'm hip to your game pal. I know whats up. I'm here to find out whats going on. I'm looking for the pot, the X, the shrooms! I'm watching you Dex...or should I call you, Machine!Comment -
Yes Fairfield had a ton of guys out Friday night. It was almost like stealing. I just wonder if the linesmakers have the line adjusted though since these guys being out for Fairfield is common knowledge.
Or is this flying under the radar since this is small conference. Or does Manhattan just suck if the line is adjusted for Fairfield.Comment -
CK, check out Wofford -7 over Elon tonight. Line should be double digits in my opinion. Wofford star Junior Salters starting to get back into shape after a long injury layoff and the team is coming off a spanking at the hands of Davidson. Elon, on the other hand, is coming off an OT win. Line is on the way up despite about even money on both sides.Comment -
flavo, my head is spinning....Comment -
No, just wanted to point out that info. I checked previous games for both teams and tried to filter out the out of conference games.
It appears both of these teams preferred style is a "grind it out", use the clock, frustrate your opponent who loves to run type of game. Well in this case it seems both teams love the same style, so it could be a grind it out chess match.
Because just looking at stats for both I'd agree the over looks like a "lock", and boy do I know what to do when I hear that word. Duck! Run! Take Cover!
I"m guessing both these teams would love to keep it in the 50's.Comment -
esz04 that woffard line has dropped bro. it started at 131.5, now its at 130. check out the frequencies of over/unders for each team. 1 side has slightly more over covers, the other side has slightly more under covers.Comment -
Jaymac, my apologies on how I phrased that. I meant Wofford over Elon in terms of covering. That is, Wofford -7Comment -
whats up all im new 2 site. love what u guys talkin bout ck. gtown killed me yesterday also lookin 4 some get back! like nd fightin 4 there season 2nite gonna parley wit manhattenComment -
Sorry bro I'm in super over-analytical let's outthink the linesmaker mode. That N.Iowa game last night messed my head up. I capped that thing up and down and no way should UNI been catching points, and no way should linesmakers mess up that bad. Not for the top team in mo valley with such obvious talent and killing the conference. Maybe for a crap conference or game off the radar.Comment -
I found this source helpful Friday night in deciding on the Fairfield game. Good message board discussion by fans with knowledge of their team.
Apparently this past Friday night, in addition to missing several starters, the coach was attempting to send a message to his team therefore he didn't start several regulars and put out a mish mash starting 5. It will be important to see if does the same tonight.
It very much sounds like the coach is in danger of losing his team if he hasn't already. Reports on these message boards indicate Fairfield played with no heart, intensity, motivation, the benchings backfired, etc.

Yes jaymac,
the guy that the Machine is buying them from is light out. I will agree to that. But what he offers is not pure if he doesn't provide a lean and then play it later or kick it to the curb like an honest person would do. You have a whole thread of guys doing it the way that it is suposed to be done. i have checke d out ALL of the good guys here in the NCAA threads, and they ALL do it the SAME way that i do except this guy.
And hockeytown11 yes it is true. If you are making your OWN picks you would know what you are intending on playing the night before if you're any good at this thing of ours. I have been doing this as a means of living a log time, and so have the PC's. They always know what they are going to play the night before and so do I and so does Dexter and so too does any person that SELLS his picks. A person who is a line watcher even knows what games he is going to watch the next day as far as line watching is concerned. I do know a pick buyer when I see one, and let's face it, he's buying picks. And there's nothing wrong with that. I bought the JM ystem, and obviously so did JohnMorr and others, and guess what, i have no problem admitting that and I have admitted that on the threads and the same goes for JohnMorr. I don't have a problem with Machine buying picks and putting them on the thread, what I have a problem with is him passing them off as his own. He can be like cubancigarwinner and just say these are the picks that I bought or subsrcibe to. No one's gonna like him any less. This is an attack of his credibility. He'll just be honest, which goes a lot further than dihonesty.
Here's an example: The Secret Plays are honest, it's something that I have been doing for years in conference play and so I deserve all the credit for that invention. The 1st inning score baseball system is my system, so I deserve all the credit for that one too.
However, the out of conference plays that I play that fall within a certain system are not my plays, so i don't take credit for those because I didn't make that system or style. That's all that i am saying. I don't like a dishonest person getting credit for something he doesn't author.
jaymac I've been beeping for you outside in the grey SS for the last 3 minutes. C'mon and get in. We've got some other fools that we need to ride on now.Comment -
Sup all? Also new to the forum, but been a daily reader of CK's threads for some time (appreciate all that you do here, the haters can keep hatin). Anyway, I figured it was about time I made an account.
Like ND to bounce back tonight at home after my Huskies took it to them and their crazy streak the other day...Comment -
Georgetown whores took three dimes away from me yesterday too. I'm gonna stick em again on Wednesday though and A&M. I am laying low today and only taking Manhattan.
This weekI am mostly going to play Secret Plays and a game here and there until I feel that i am ready for the NCAA Tournament. PAYBACK. Georgetown whores!Comment -
ck sorry 4 da question but im new here what exactly u talkin about with secret plays? if u dont mind me askinComment -
i had the whores in 3 team wit lou and mich stComment -
manhatten is the play with CK on board and my homie leopoldim86 giving me the inside scoop on our boys at fairfield being dismantled and unhappy with the coach as some of the big men wont be playing manhatten in the play -1.5Comment -
G'town is off the list of possibilities until that team shows it's fixed it's mental issues. Strange that a solid coach like that would field a team that mentally has issues.
Actually I should rephrase that. G'town is certainly on the list of possibilities as a fade candidate if the linesmakers continue to overvalue this group of head cases.Comment -
No flav-o,
That's not good rational thinking. Remember how everyone was trashing Boston after the Cleveland game, and I had said BEFORE the game, that no matter if Boston looses this game or not, I am going to start buying them now that there stock is low. Don't you know that I have not losta quarter or a half bet or a game bet with them since that moment. I know that G-Town is gonna turn it around, and after three straight conference losses they are actually right where we need them to be despite the horrid loss to Seton Hall. I'm gonna buy them while their stock is low and I've taken a hit. What's that thing called, a straddle option? that's what i am gonna pull out on the Hoyas. I am taking them again on Wednesday look forward to that. i have been doing this thing for years. I have the memory of a cornerback.
So what we lost with Georgetown in their last game. Sometimes your success takes a shot at you. We had a good week. We just have to make an appearance and show that we aren't dead and all will be back to normal.Comment -
ck, get back in character.Comment
