Well you have the revenge angle...Seattle is one of only two teams to beat GC this year. it was at Seattle a couple of weeks ago. GC is the superior team and the creme de la creme of that conference. their NET/RPI is 47 while everyone else in the WAC is in the mid 100's and above! they have one of the best home court advantages in all of college basketball. they've drilled all the competition by at least double digits on their home court. their offensive and defensive numbers (home/away) splits are much better at home. and Seattle is one of those teams that is horrible and atrocious on the road with a 1 - 6 record. that just about sums it up!...

Can't wait to visit family and friends in Greece, LB! I'm definitely going over there this Summer for a vacation!...I will definitely try the pizza. what kind did you get? thin or thick crust? toppings?...but to answer your question, over here the popular pizza chains suck ass! (i.e. papa john's, pizza hut, dominos, etc.). However, we have several authentic Italian eateries and restaurants that serve damn good pizza! Just like over in USA! The best right here in Larnaca, Cyprus (where I currently live) is Napoli Pizza! yes, they have high prices but well worth it! Here is a small thin crust with pepperoni, mushroom, green pepper, and onion (my four favorite toppings)! about 14" pie size...total cost: $13.80

**packerd_00** · 02-10-24, 01:52 PM

My dad's good friend moved to Greece a few years ago. They use to ride motorcycles together back in the day.

$14? that's' cheap

Not for Cyprus, brother! The cost of living over here is at least half of what is in the USA. that would be the equivalent of this same pizza costing around $35 - $40 over there!

Im used to $60 in NYC so I consider $14 cheap. I did goggle the shop though, it seems to have quality.

**Da Manster!** · 02-12-24, 04:56 AM

Well, this concludes the football season of my picks segment...I did start wagering on college hoops a little bit earlier this year (I normally wait til after the superbowl to bet hoops)...again, the record was nothing to write home about but we hit our "nail it, pound it" plays and quite a few (+EV) money teasers, parlays, etc! and finished well in the black once again!...

...so here are the final numbers for this years football season...I will start fresh with my record and units now that basketball season is full swing all the way through March Madness and the National Championship!...

0 - 1...(-1 unit)...Final YTD record is 61 - 91...(+43 units)

**llevin11** · 02-12-24, 12:12 PM

Neapolitan pizza is the best for my tastes as well! There are strict rules and regulations as far as the ingredients and the quality of them to be a real Neapolitan pizza.

I'm with bjb, getting a quality pizza for $14 seems like a deal!

**Da Manster!** · 02-12-24, 12:42 PM

Thanks Levin! Appreciate you brother!...

...Well let's get started!...all my picks from here on out are NCAAM so no one gets confused with the NBA or women's hoops...I don't bet either of those garbage leagues.

1 unit each:

TCU (-12.5)
Towson (-11.5)

Must use 00 flour from Naples is the first rule.

Pepperoni with jalapeno poppers it was very moist and just great. This was 20 years ago I don't remember the place but I stayed at the Dana villas overlooking the volcano. Greece and food is just so great.

Did the OP win Swiftie Bingo? For some reason they can't calculate the scores (and he's on top of leaderboard)
