The SBR Jinx Thread

Gtownguy487 · 02-22-08, 03:27 PM

Very good idea

I think someone should make a Home Team Advantage Thread...
Seems like Home Team advantage is on the the biggest advantages in every sport.....
Refs seem to control the game more than the players do

freeVICK · 02-22-08, 04:04 PM

lol and onlooker will take the opposite ML

diogee · 02-22-08, 04:09 PM

onlooker is probably on Winthrop...they are tough at home and could very well win this game.

EaglesPhan36 · 02-22-08, 04:32 PM

I'm not gonna lie, I'm testing the theory tonight with Winthrop +145.

LT Profits · 02-22-08, 04:35 PM

Does it have to be unanimous? Seems to me quite a few are on the Davidson Over too, with me basically standing alone on the Under, although my play has nothing to do with an anti-jinx.

EaglesPhan36 · 02-22-08, 05:37 PM

Not unanimous, in looking at the Best Bets Thread - that is where I am going to go with the pick or if there is a thread on one game with a majority opinion. In today's best bets, I see 5 for the Davidson side, two on the over total. So right now, I say it's the Davidson side scheduled for jinxation.

MoneySportsGuy · 02-22-08, 06:03 PM

Man this is totally true about SBR Jinx. So many times the last 3 weeks I would cap a game, and then get on forum and EVERYBODY is on the other side, so I would either no play it or put a very very small amount. I would say about 80% of the time I ended up capping it right, just not playing it. So dumb on my part

But maybe that is all just a coincidence

Louisvillekid1 · 02-22-08, 06:08 PM

yea any thread that says POY is usually a loser. Davidson ATS and Cornell ML are the two popular plays for tonight. Im on the ML w. cornell as well

dwaechte · 02-22-08, 06:14 PM

Just going off of what I've seen, this does seem to be the case most of the time.

The only exception I can think of was during college football season. The popular picks for the Thursday night games did very well IIRC.

forex · 02-22-08, 06:20 PM

good idea i say over 66% of time the favorite goes down

EaglesPhan36 · 02-22-08, 09:05 PM

Davidson avoids the jinx tonight. Congrats to Davidson backers.

MoneySportsGuy · 02-23-08, 03:19 AM

Whoo hooo go Davidson, go Davidson cashed me some money

onlooker · 02-23-08, 03:23 AM

No, I wasn't on the Winthrop ML.

But I did like Washington on Thursday, but didn't bet them.

It does seem like some of my ML dogs are the opposite of a "majority" play on here.

I really don't mean for it to be that way.

EaglesPhan36 · 02-23-08, 11:44 AM

I'm headed out of town this afternoon fellas, but today's potential jinx has got to be Tennessee from what I have read the past few days. Yes, I'm on 'em +6 as well. So let's hope the jinx doesn't work again! See ya Sunday.

hi-rez · 02-25-08, 09:06 PM

kstate should qualify as potential jinx

awhitejackson · 02-25-08, 09:08 PM

I would check tonites Marquette, Nova game...Seemed to me like so many more were on Nova (at least when I checked earlier in the day)

diogee · 02-25-08, 09:08 PM

I would say T-Raps -3 for today

JColli32 · 02-25-08, 09:08 PM

i dunno.....there were quite a few texas followers incuding myself but year we're definately outnumberd i think its a close qualifyer GO TEXAS! gl guys

JColli32 · 02-25-08, 09:08 PM

Yeah add raptors to that list definately like 70-80 % following on these forums

MoneySportsGuy · 02-25-08, 09:38 PM

Alright how many like San Diego to cover vs St Mary's?

hi-rez · 02-25-08, 09:40 PM

I haven't seen anyone that took St. Mary's post, I'm on SD

MoneySportsGuy · 02-25-08, 09:43 PM

yeah that is why worried because everybody is on San Diego covering....

imgv94 · 02-25-08, 09:43 PM

Good idea=this thread.. Will definitely check it out.

Which one of these do you think the board will be all over tomorrow?

Drake-Tennessee-BYU?

diogee · 02-25-08, 09:45 PM

Tenn for sure imgv

diogee · 02-25-08, 09:46 PM

How many times are we going to see this written tomorrow

#1 team in the country only two point favorites?

diogee · 02-25-08, 09:52 PM

It will be in about every post...Call me crazy but I am actually leaning Vandy.

WizardofWins is a great capper that posts here and posted that in the best bet thread.

MoneySportsGuy · 02-25-08, 10:00 PM

And WizardofWins actually likes St Mary's to cover or what?

I know LT is on San Diego so that is good for me.

EaglesPhan36 · 02-25-08, 10:00 PM

Sorry I hadn't updated this bitch yet. Didn't do a pick on Sunday since I didn't get on-board till the afternoon, so no result for Sunday. Today is definitely San Diego. I went with what looked like the line more people got - 11 pts.

EaglesPhan36 · 02-26-08, 11:18 AM

Go figure. Since keeping track, the jinx appears ineffective

xyzky · 02-26-08, 11:19 AM

Well let's not lose focus on this thread!!

EaglesPhan36 · 02-26-08, 06:44 PM

Looks like the Vols are up again tonight. Tennessee -1.5 is on the clock.

EaglesPhan36 · 02-27-08, 02:21 AM

Close call tonight, but the jinx strikes. It also would have worked on Drake which was the 2nd strongest SBR play tonight from what I saw.
