Caracalla's Quattro Gatti Chat Thread

[elgreco]

I too haven't been here for a while, but yesterday I was and I cashed your 4-1 (NBA and College).
I'm not a PRO, so I can't give you 10 points for every net unit (good idea, elgreco), starting next month.
This month I can, and i give you and elgreco

Bob, you are very kind, but I don't deserve any points. I haven't done anything. I'm giving you back your points, and you can give them to Caracalla or whomever else you think deserves them.

Its nice to have good people on this thread. Thank you for the nice gesture

[fly fisher]

nice to find this thread, and smart idea about the "no posting" in the "posted plays" thread.

[Tommy_de1st]

Back at home: s h i t

but it is always one positive to be back home. You work your ass off and save some money to have such a wonderful vacation next time

[caracalla]

My wonderful vacation?
1) Macchu Picchu and Patagonia ( my dream)
2) Dolomites
3) Greek Islands (not Mikonos and Ios!!!!)
4) Canada (not East Coast)
5) New Zealand

But I have to save much much much much money: and I can't

[elgreco]

(not Mikonos and Ios!!!!)

sorry to post here but, I heard Carmello is getting traded today, does that change your Denver bet at all? Many thanks for all you do

Caracalla will be here soon enough to speak for himself. I am not his spokesman, but I will explain what I think the answer is based off of my experience with Caracalla.

The answer is probably going to be no, it doesn't affect his picks. In the past, he has not incorporated individual performance stats into his databases. He doesn't even take injuries into account. While that may present a weakness in his projections on a day to day basis, the impact of a missing player will be quickly reflected in the teams performance and his projections will be adjusted accordingly in the future. When it comes to Caracalla's picks, you can not look to deep into day to day performance... you have to look at it as a whole.

On the other hand, what the hell do i know. He'll respond soon enough.

[caracalla]

I should not answer because the question is not in the right place.
But Elgreco spoke and now I'm forced to clarify.
Who is Carmelo?
So you can understand that I don't mind individual player. Elgreco 100% right (as usual), but I'm worried about Carmelo (who is?) news: no change bet (I have already wagered).
The only thing I can add is that (with this year new system) I'd bet again Denver until handicap <-3.5 (-4 is good, -3.5 not: i know it's strange but stats are stats): so far -4.5 and so good

[caracalla]

And why Atlanta now no lines? Another bad news?

[caracalla]

for those who did not understand, Elgreco is my guardian angel!!!
And why no lines for Georgia teck vs. Clemson, they are important teams (or not?)!

[elgreco]

I should not answer because the question is not in the right place.
But Elgreco spoke and now I'm forced to clarify.

hehe... sorry.

Who is Carmelo?

He is one of the best players in the NBA. You will see his significance in the stats really quickly if/when he is traded.

And why Atlanta now no lines? Another bad news?

The game is postponed due to very dangerous weather. They play the game indoors, but getting to and from the stadium is the problem.

for those who did not understand, Elgreco is my guardian angel!!!

[caracalla]

is there trading during the season? If so, when?
Atlanta dangerous weather, really? 12/21/2012 is coming!

[dixan]

Caracalla, do you play Poker? I checked Sharkscope, so many Caracalla in italian rooms!

[caracalla]

Oh yes, I play poker, and in poker too I've my rules (stats): the first is: don't play poker just to play poker, nothing better to do. I play poker only if I have to do somerhing else in the maintime.

I'm italian, but I'm not idiot: so I don't use italian rooms (vig 20%!!). I started 10 years ago, with sportingbetUSA (I don't remember my nick).
When I found rakeback I join Cake circuit and I started with nick
1) Caracalla
Some problem with my son (He said he was the winner, so i changed nick, and in sharkscope you can check when I left all to my son). Then I opened a new account with nick
2) senzacoda
Other problems after a while: I joined and other people unregistered and now i'm with nick
3) senzacoda2

No SBR tourneys for me; too late

According to the rule that says 'when the team plays without their best player they will cover easily' there's no need to worry about.
Even if he plays his last game at Denver he'll do his best to be well remembered. Either way Denver will win

When is he gonna be traded? anyone knows?

[caracalla]

Hey, Tommy, another wonderful avatar

[Tommy_de1st]

Thanks Cara.
It's been confirmed Atlanta game is postponed

[rm18]

yes caracalla weather is bad in Atlanta I have nothing to eat, thought I could get an SBR pizza but Dominos does not deliver because weather is too bad.

[elgreco]

Dominos does not deliver because weather is too bad.

Yikes

[elgreco]

is there trading during the season? If so, when?

College sports: doesn't happen

NFL: Through week 6 of the 17 week season.

NBA: Until the 16th Thursday of the season (usually in February)

MLB: July 31st (August 31st if you want to get technical)

[caracalla]

Today it says: Okl +1
