Factsman you well never be a winning gambler because I can tell your to impulsive. Example having 6 plays on the Alabama game. Way to much exposure for 1 isolated game. Over a month there has to be better spot plays

Facts went for broke...the domino effect could have gone either way. Fezzik does it all the time to puff his record with correlated quarter, half and full game. Naturally good strategy because Rail went ape shit. :)

It's a strategy that probably should have been used on a later game. Facts was only behind by 3 games with 24 picks left. Its a good strategy for a capper who is weak relative to his opponent.

The reason why is that the half time bet is strongly correlated to the quarter results and when behind, 2 wins "creates" a larger bump:

Consider the 4 outcomes of the 1Q and 2Q bets, two wins gives 3-0. When you are way behind, 2 losses means going 0-3 which makes the margin worse, but the overall contest bet is still lost:

OV,OV => 1H OV => 3-0 record
OV,UN => 1H ? => 2-1 or 1-2 record
UN,OV => 1H ? => 2-1 or 1-2 record
UN,UN => 1H UN => 0-3 record

Jk is this the sort of gambler you recommend for your monthly contests. I thought these were successful gamblers. If I can play player props I guarantee I can hit 60 perc3nt for the month

Can't spot an albino.

Too funny.

Do albinos have a Defamation League?

Is it albinos or albinoes?

I hope Fisher makes the NBA.

Longshot, I know.

You should have me penciled in for May, correct, JK?

And yes, we need an MLB grading system all can agree on sooner rather than later. (if MLBX is allowed in this contest, it could be relevant as soon as next month.)

Good point, per usual, EJD.

Fkn a

Facts...are you doing the DraftKings betting contest this weekend? Or maybe your kid?

Would love to have a video crew follow you around recording you busting all these "pros" balls.

Fk they would never see you coming.

Good busting balls in this thread. I've laughed quite a bit.

Good way to start my day by laughing.
