Rookie contest mistake to play a line that can push

Pushes are losses when you need wins

If you are ahead pushes are wins as it has you based on the win percentage

Maybe vd will improve when he gets invited for his 5th time for this challenge

You have that backwards my friend....Rail has had five chances....

The only problem with this theory is that VD has already lost so the push has no meaning as to the contest. In fact all these picks after loss #13 have no effect on the contest, just change the final record.

didnt realize he was completely dead.

I was stating he was dead given the long shot of him coming back.

If he was still alive was my thinking correct game play computerbob?

Final score: 81-60, Oklahoma State.

Nicely done, Arturo.

It would be fascinating to ask Arturo what he saw in Oklahoma State to make this pick. :)

(Could it be that 5 Dimes and Heritage moved the line to Okla St -4, -5 , -5.5, then -6 just a few (from one to four) minutes before VD posted? And then Pinny followed a minute later from -3.5 to -6?)

with isu missing 3 starters, the line should have closed 12 or so.

For some reason the Pinnacle website was taken down by the Thai government so cannot make any selections unless taking stale numbers from Las Vegas Insider...

JK...thanks for the opportunity this month...I expected better, but numbers didn’t fall my way...

1) Use a VPN service to see the Pinnacle site odds.

2) Use an odds service with live Pinnacle lines, e.g. the free SBR odds:

https://www.sportsbookreview.com/betting-odds/

3) Have someone PM (email, etc) to you the odds on the sport/s of your choosing.

I've been under the weather for the past few days.

Nothing COVID-related, thankfully.

Looks like this thread is dying a slow death.

Pete McMeat quoting a false record, VD honestly citing his subpar mark and VD calling RAILBIRD a "fag boy."

Welcome to EOG 2021.

In the words of the late Rodney King, "Can we all get along?"

Thanks for the well wishes, Bob.

Ravens -6.5 is a play I don't see posted for Arturo.

Did you confuse a play on the Bills for a play on the Ravens?

Check out Post #131.

I get dizzy looking back at all those posts.

Sorry, my mistake, it should be Jan 13, Packers -6.5 (Post #185), (not Ravens) W 32-18. VD was 6-9 at halfway point (Jan 15) so first 6 wins should be agreed upon.

Got it, Bob.

VD did a solid job of numbering every play.

He was a gracious competitor.

Of course, the abuse he absorbed at the hands of a few EOG contributors was the product of the abuse he delivered the previous month.

The Internet is unforgiving.

People are so cowardly in person and yet so brave in front of the keyboard.

I have met hundreds of posters in person...and the abuse I give to a handful of posters like Railfag is usually deserved....nothing worse than a classless, racist gambler....

Well aware of your likable nature, VD.

As you imply, you have countless character witnesses.
