            Flipping a coin is the same thing as trying to handicap

            long term same outcome

              I don't even flip a coin.. I stare at the screen that has the lines for my game... then think for about 2 seconds and pick a side .. Ha

                I'm lucky, I recently bought a clairvoyant coin at the county fair...just waiting for the funds to roll in.

                  Some days I tend to agree that handicapping is just a bunch of bullsh1t.

                  It should be called guessing which side will win.

                          I told you many times that everything was a joke in the past. I never stiffed anybody before and have done this contest many times on other forums. I am taking the risk of getting stiffed if i do it and you are doing the same. Difference between before and now is that i have money. Onthewhat wanted to do more then the $100 i offered so i disagreed and now he wants to play for fun. lol, Brady2Moss and fiveteamer, you guys are some bad cappers. Step up to the plate boys.

                            i will put up any amount here vs any poster.. you pick the games, and i flip the coin.. whoever hits more over 100 games/flips... wins the money..

                            but i get the 1% lead since you get to pick. in other words, if you hit 53/100, and coin hits 52/100, it's a tie.. if we both hit 50/100, i win..

                            we will go by Olympic closing lines for no argument sake..


                            if you think that coin flips are useless and handicapping is better, then you will take my offer. i bet no one takes this offer.. cause you all know that handicapping schmandicapping, is all fukkin bullshit. that is why there is a line there, to make the game 50-50.. no matter what you know, you are no better than a coin flip.. i've been in this business long enough to know this. i've seen it all.

                            THE MORE YOU KNOW, THE LESS YOU SUCCESSFUL YOU ARE.. and dont forget this..

                                  flyer,

                                  i swear, this is a true story. i have been in many office pools where on friday, we pick the 15 NFL games from the paper. we were about 100 people in it, and half were girls.. every week, the girls that never heard of Joe Montana or Walter Payton, were going 13-2, 12-3.. etc.. and the guys that can name you eveyr player in NFL, where they played college, their career stats, were going 3-12, 4-11. etc.. no joke..

                                  at the end of the season, the top 3 winners were the girls.. the girl that won, didn't know one player in NFL.. the 2nd place girl only picked games by who had the cute as-ses on the players and who were cute.. and 3rd place won because she liked the names of the teams and their uniforms..

                                  if this isn't enough of to convince you that pick games is useless, then i dont know what to say.. and, you have to hit 53% to break even, or you go broke.. good luck hitting 50%..


                                  HANDICAPPING NFL IS COMPLETELY USELESS..

                                      The only reason your trying to get a capping battle going is because

                                      1) your too broke to post up at a book
                                      2) you already stiffed CW, so thats not an option
                                      3) your CC's are maxed out
                                      4) you wont have to pay if you lose

                                      So... before you go running your mouth, post a screenshot of your "4 figure" 5 dimes balance, rookie...

                                            JJ cole, it's even worse than 50-50.. 50-50 would mean, 50% chance at making money.. but in essence, it's really 47-53.. cause if you go 50-50, YOU GO BROKE.. you have to win 53% of those 50-50 games just to break even..

                                            so in reality, it's not 50-50, but it's 47-53.. mathematically, if you imply the 10% juice, it's really 47-53 in picking winners..

                                            you basically have to go 55-45 to show any decent profit.. and that's not even a big profit.. if you bet 100 games at 100 bucks each and go 55-45, you ONLY make a little over 500 dollars..so if you bet 7 games of NFL per sunday and you hit 55%, it will take you over 14 weeks to make just over 500 bucks.. which is just over 35 bucks a week.. and that's at 55%.. barely pays the FEDEX payments and your internet provider and time of work spent doing it..

                                            better off getting a real job.. the pay is way better and you can't lose, like 99.6% of everyone will at the end here.

                                            and imagine if you hit 48%??? oh my freakin god.. ouch.
