Blake Griffin You are Pussy

[The Vegas Snake]

C'mon fellas. were all of you born yesterday. The line smelled fishy right from the get go with the #2 team in the nation getting a point or point and a half from the extremely over rated Longhorns. The public hammers Oklahoma all day and the line hardly moves at all. Every casino is vegas had to call for police escorts to get the Oklahoma money they were taking since the line opened.

This game and Blake Griffin has Alex Rodriguez written all over it - for anyone that has played sports before, are you kidding me that the bump caused a 260 pound monster to leave the game due to a head injury - I call complete bullshit and for anyone that thinks there was no funny business happening, then give your head a shake.

Vegas wins again - absolute joke.

And in case you think I wagered on Okl, no chance no how - this smelled right from the get-go and again it proves that even the kids can be bought.

I usually dont get involved with threads like this, but anyone who disagrees with this post is clearly in denial...Sure Texas wasnt a lock to win the game without Griffin as Oklahoma proved, but they certainly got an edge...I saw the shot he took, cmon I get hit harder then that on a daily basis. Im not saying this game was fixed at all, but something was certainly fishy about this whole situation...I dont care if you disagree with me or not, but its the truth....

The line was very fishy before the game even started...Clearly the books knew something the public didnt. As the #2 ranked team in the nation was a 1 pt dog against an unranked Texas team who has been playing rather poor lately...So with that line, they were saying on a Neutral court OU was only 2 pts better then Texas, or 5 pts better had the game been in Norman? In my opinion, anyone who bet OU in this game is the complete definition of a SQUARE...This game had Texas written all over it...

And in case anyone is wondering, I was on Texas rather large....And I shit you not, I went to the sportsbook at the Suncoast Casino in vegas to cash my Texas ticket, and the lady looked at me and word for word she said "holy crap, someone who actually bet Texas, good for you!"

The fact of the matter is, sports is a BUSINESS, college and pros...And in college, the top 25 polls mean absolutely NOTHING!!!!!its just a bunch of old men voting on who they think is the best...but so many retards make bets simply off how high a team is ranked....this game was a classic example...#2 in the nation getting a point looked pretty good to the average joe, sure it was close and yes OU couldve easily won...But there is no question Griffin on the bench for the entire game gave Texas a HUGE edge...

Im rambling I know, but cmon....That shot the Griffin took was not that hard at all, he got slapped in the nose...I got punched in the nose WAY harder then that not too long ago, and I couldve played a game of basketball after it happened...

Bottom line, Griffin out = Vegas WINS

Yes I hope you read this...when I played ball and my team was in a game of ANY Fucking significance I would have been in there .............YOU BLAKE GRIFFIN ARE A PUSSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wah, wah, wah, you lost your 5 dollars and 50 cent bet on OU.
First, Blake is a solid student and athlete that plays the game right.
His only passion is to play.
He was held back by doctors when he went to stand up and go back.
He had a concussion, which is a brain bruise.
You on the other hand more than likely have a brain tumor.

In my mind we should only bet on games involving kids of >24 years of age cuz they are the only ones mature enough to handle injuries.

wow, what a dumb statement. so maturity constitutes the ability to play through injury? tell me blake griffin's stature doesn't look mature to you, he's a monster. and it doesn't matter how hard he got it, it depends where he got hit what nerves got affected and how his coaching staff\medical staff chose to deal with it. how can this simple concept be so difficult for some of you to understand?? i've seen krk say it 2-3 times already and i'll reiterate it...thank fucking god none of you are trainers or in the medical field.

To add to this post...

I am NOT calling Blake Griffin in any way shape or form a pussy, the kid is tough, without a question...but it was not his decision to sit out, if the coaching staff or trainers say you arent playing, then you are not playing...You could tell Griffin wanted to get in there, but they wouldnt let him.....I respect Griffin a lot, hes a tough kid and gets banged around a lot taking double teams and triple teams all season long....

It wasnt his call though, those kind of decisions are made by the coaching staff

First off....I envy you because you live in Vegas and I cant sell my house to move out there....lol.....second of all....I was on Texas too...but I consider myself lucky....I dont like hearing the square and sharp talk....its all garbage...sometimes square picks win....sometimes the sharp wins...had OU won this game I would be thinking, wtf was I doing betting Texas? That theory of unranked teams favored over ranked teams being the so called sharp play this year has been AWFUL. Squares are cleaning up....the better teams are winning the majority of these road games this year.....basically I couldnt care less if Im a square or a sharp, I just wanna win the game I bet...Im getting crushed this year....easily the worst year of my life...Its so bad Im thinking about fading myself...

I agree man, Overall yes the better road teams are winning...But recently, the home dogs have been cleaning up, need I list the games in the past couple weeks? If you have been following my posts all year, you would notice I didnt even start posting college bball until late january...For my system, February is the month to jump in (on the small home dogs that is)..I respect your opinion man

So what about the previous 10 games where the public was all over OU and they won? All those lines were "fishy" What hap when they were a 3 point fav at Baylor and they covered? What about when they were a 2 point fav at OK State? What about when they were a 1 point fav at K State? The public was all over them on all these games and cleaned up. Your post is stupid on so many levels. This Texas/OU came down to the LAST FUCKING SHOT. So you think vegas knew Aj Abrams would hit a 3 with 30 seconds left in the game to put Texas up? lololol. You guys give the books too much credit. You act like vegas is god and they know what is going to happen before the game starts. These are 19 year old kids, nobody knows.

They played earlier in Norman and guess what? Sooners were a 4.5 fav. You are clueless.

 

[Illini]

1) NO I am not fucking kidding you.. right side?? oklahoma lost !!!! can you not read the fucking scoreboard.. I cashed MY TEXAS bet.. OU backers are left with nothing.. actually most ppl who were on OU probably never cash a ticket LOL!!!!!

btw my record speaks for myself and knowledge on the game.. if you think OU was the right side please never sports bet ever again..

you obviously have no clue what the right side is..

right side is when you get your $$$$$

OU backers got shit! 0! zero! nada! get that???

if it makes the losers feel better and go to sleep easier great for you.. after you jerk yourselves off to sleep then put on a big smile and keep telling yourself OU was the right side

Well, I don't know you but I do know two things. Those that can't ever admit to catching breaks, and those that say things like "I know capping, my knowledge is unmatched"........those kind of people are the biggest losers. It's just an ego thing for them. You obviously fit into this category.

 

[Illini]

You guys are so clueless it's comical. Trap game this, public this, sharp side this, Vegas fixed the game and took out Griffin, etc.

Bookies don't have to do anything to beat bettors. Most bettors could hit 60% juice free, and they'd still find a way to lose. Books don't set trap lines, and they don't fix games. They don't even have to beat anyone. They just hand out a rope and let the player hang himself.

someone who knows capping might've known blake would be in foul trouble from the start. the big physical black dude is not to his liking. his game was off from the start last night. his time on the bench was due more to the importance of monday's game than the importance of last night's. if he'da played the whole game he'd be sore and what not. ou will have a coming out party against ku. changing of the guard type game, all the heavy hitters in ou athletics will be there. can't wait to see stoops and his family..... griffen a c+ on his acting job, and that's after seeing some blood from his nose. if not for that he woulda been sitting with fouls.... ou rolls KU on big monday..... and by the way, vegas does set traps.... too many people all over ou at +1 as soon as it opened.... what gives?

 

[stockisup]

Anyone who does not believe in "trap" games, "fixed" games, or "rigged" games is in complete denial. Just think about all the point shaving scandals of the past. Or what about Tim Donaghy. Do you think he is the only NBA referee that ever bet on games. Of course you got to believe Pete Rose when he states that he " never bet on games that he was playing in or managing". What a load of garbage.

Now back to Blake Griffin. A concussion? On a glancing blow to the nose. Give me a break. Seems to me that the coaching staff is saving him for Kansas tonight. If the same situation would have occured in the national championship game, do you think Griffin would have still been made to ride the bench?

I think you are the only one on this forum with common sense. It almost impossible to read some of these posts.

Or something like that. Was he acting tonight also?

People don't want to take responsibility for losing. They don't want to admit that the reason they lose is because a) it's very difficult to overcome the vig and b)90% of the ones that can still lose because they lack discipline.

Sports betting is a daily repetitive case study on the human race. Humans simply aren't built to beat such a thing. Because humans have emotions, both good and bad. And both emotions cause the bettor to lose. There are a million ways to lose......not enough talent in capping, chasing when losing, getting greedy when winning, betting games out of boredom.....just to name a few. There is only one way to win, and that is having complete unemotional discipline. And that must be learned the hard way by doing things wrong long enough to learn. And even then, it's still very, very difficult to win. Books know humans very well, and when a deposit comes into their book, they count it as money already earned and laugh at the player whether he loses his first 10 bets, or whether he beats himself by being an emotional human being.

So people invent things in their mind to give them reassurance that they aren't the reason that success alludes them. It was the ref's fault or the player that faked an injury's fault, or the trap line that they fell for and should have seen beforehand.

Spot on, except most bettors hitting 60%.

Most bettors hit exactly 50% over time. I was just saying that if a player could bet juice-free and hit 60%, he would still likely find a way to donk his money away.

Illini,

I agree with your post. People claim games are fixed. Yes, players have shaved points, but they don't the way the OU/UT game ended on Saturday. I was part of the contingent claiming fix in the Pitt/SD game, but the reality, they didn't say ok let's have Troy return a later to cover, but then take it away.

Most people don't want to acknowledge they make the wrong picks or get emotionally overcharged and don't think clearly.

I do think it's likely that the Pitt/San Diego game was fixed. It sure wasn't scripted the way it went down in the end, though. And there are other times when games have been fixed. They are very rare, though, and the books aren't the ones that do the fixing.

 

[Dialer]

The medical staff wouldn't release him so the coaches or Blake had a choice in the matter. It is uncertain if the concussion came on the hit to the nose. There several contacts made to the head earlier in the game.
