I logged in here to take my lumps after an 0-3 night. Trust me, posting here after a night like this is NOT fun.....but I am quick to log in here after a win, so I figure I need to wrap it up after a losing night as well.
When I first read this string I was really pissed....mostly on behalf of Tater, who has made money for everyone here who can read. I like to think I have also (42-36 in my posts). But Tater's picks have been off the charts and I for one have profited from them quite a bit.
Then upon second glance I realized that all the nastiness is coming from just one poster and everyone else is being super supportive, so I see the "glass as half full" regarding this string.
The only comment I want to address individually is that of LSU Pete. Yes indeed I was very excited after last night's Clipper game and I did indeed do my handicapping...well not at midnight, but at 11 Pacific. But if you check my thread, I had Detroit UNDER and San Antonio OVER as small-ish plays.....and when I went to the office and took another look under normal conditions, I increased both of them.
Tater liking San Antonio did cause me to increase my actual wager.....but so what !!! He has made me SO many units these past weeks....and the agreed plays we have have been hitting around 2/3 of the time.....so hey...that means 1/3 of them lose and we need to be ready for that.
It is hard to sit here after an 0-3 night and profess a ton of faith in the systems.....but I will be at the office tomorrow with my spreadsheet, calculator & stats....and I will do my best to make good plays.
Again....I really thank all of you (well....MOST of you) for being so supportive and I hope to be part of a profitable NBA season for us all.
