"Official" Oscar Predics, 2/29

[SoundofSilence]

He's made enough personal attacks on people when anyone has any kind of dissenting opinion that he deserves everything he's getting here, the NBA board, and the NCAAB board.

Last time he came in boasting about how right he was and how wrong everyone else was, he lost his ass. I didn't have too much vested interest in the Oscars tonight besides my bets, but I would get a hoot if he did come out in the red

[Oren1]

JCambert, you've out-done yourself this time. LMAO.

nice picks there champ.

 

[Oren1]

Let's see off the top of my head um here's how my night went:

3-1 +9.75 units

"When all is said and done, I can honestly say that, right or wrong, I feel that several people have taken some knowledge from the posts that I've made in this forum on the Oscars. This is alot more than anyone can say about you. You are, in general, pretty useless to the forum, but, that's besides the point."

-JCambert


Hey JCambert, how did your night go buddy?

oh here's another one:
"By the way, I still can't get enough of you saying that the only way to make money betting the awards is betting favorites. LOL. I love it.
JP"

Hey f*ck-face, I never said that, you f*cking retard. Um what did I pick to win best cinematography? That's right bitch, Master and Commander at +400. Not exactly 1-10 odds you hopeless fool. A winner, I might add, oh by the way how did your sharp and insightful best cinematography pick go? You picked Master and Commander too? Ah, better luck next time ass-wad.

<----JC



laughing my ****ing ass off.



Hey nit-wit, correct me if I'm wrong, but much like The Return of the King but in a negative manner, you pulled a CLEAN SWEAP this year! HA HA congrats, it takes a special talent to pull off a stupendous 0-10 night. You jack-ass.

 

[royalfan]

Come on Oren. No need to stomp on someone's grave when they had a bad night. I realize you two don't get along but by everyone posting information and helping each other out, everyone benefits. Just need to lose your attitude.

 

[Oren1]

Royalfan, this little quarrel goes back before this thread was even started, JCambert is a pretentious, arrogant jack-ass, IN MY OPINION LOL, and I'll take every oportunity I get to laugh in his retarded-ass face. Wait a minute, I'm not too sure it's merely my opinion, I mean, here's the definition of jackass, you be the judge:

"jackass

\Jack"ass`\, n. [2d jack + ass.] 1. The male ass; a donkey.

2. A conceited dolt; a perverse blockhead."

I believe a case can be made that it is a certain fact that JCambert is no doubt a certifiable horse's ass.

 

[JamesTrout]

....oooh crap. 0-for-4 here matching my 0-for-4 last year (went for longshots in Actress, Actor, Cinematography and Song).

Oh crap. Hell, I think Covers nailed 4-from-4 on the acting races.

....just horrible as I got thoroughly fooled again. My problem? I just can't get pick the Oscars (and I take the Oscars too damn personally as though I'm handing them out).

Only two or three dogs came through:

* Master and Commander winning Best Cinematography at (+400).
* The Return of the King winning Best Adapted Screenplay at (+150).
* The Fog of War winning Best Documentary Feature at (+150)

Well done to those who won tonight though.

 

[Oren1]

And for the "sharps" keeping track of this square's record for the weekend, that would be

5-2 +12.75 units.

Thank you very much.

 

[Oren1]

Sorry you had a bad night James, I'll be pullin for you come the Emmies.

 

[JamesTrout]

I don't think I'm a bad person....I just take the Oscars too damn personally.

....my overall loss on the Oscars is oooh, just under £250 which wipes out the winnings from the Lost in Translation win at the Golden Globes (not too much of a problem but that's probably one shot to the head too many for me....lesson? **** the Oscars when it comes to betting on them unless I change my style of thinking which seems unlikely. I'm doomed to give my money to Olympic without so much as a fight these days but I'll get my revenge.).

I can kind of do the Emmys, flounce 'round the Grammys with a hit-and-miss style but dear Gawd, I CHOKE at the Oscars!

Royler> I think I know just a fraction of what you felt after the Golden Globes.

....still one has to laugh. Tomorrow is a another day and just remember to fall on the right side of the fix. Always, always.

My two personal favorite jcambert quotes:

In berrating Oren:

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> You are also the guy that didn't have enough foresight to play Seabiscuit in Cinematography, when several other people on this board admitted that they were scrambling in trying to get money over to Olympic fast enough to catch the line mistake. You missed it cause you didn't know better. But, that's the store of your life. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

He missed what? Losing $200?


And speaking to me on one of my winners (something he had none of!):


<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> By the way, Sean Penn has value at -200? That's a hoot. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Winner Best Actor: Sean Penn... Yup, terrible bet

Here's to this guy disappearing for another year like he did last year when he talked big game, bashed everyone else's thoughts, and then got majorly embarassed.

 

[Oren1]

wait my record for this weekend including my movie bets is actually:

5-2 +16.75 units.

 

[Royler]

Well, either I'm getting dumber or the lines are getting sharper. Probably a combination of the two.

Oren, I admit that JCambert can be abrasive at times - the solution would be to ignore him. You only make yourself look bad with this continued pant-tugging.

Regardless of this weekend - have you won or lost money in movie props? Are you in the red or black career-to-date?

 

[SonofaGun]

shit, I wish I would've hammered Sean Penn when he was offered at +100 after SAG awards. **** it.

 

[Oren1]

Royler, now you're just being silly. I answered your question twice and I honestly don't know, I haven't been keeping track. Losses betting on the NFL and Howard Dean

are really the two reasons I wouldn't be in the black, not losing at movie props. And I tried to be somewhat civil with JCambert but the guy just really started to get on my nerves since he popped his head back up on this board, obviously. Like I said, this is my current documented record betting on movies:

overall:
2-3 +3 units

I'll keep a record from now on so fruit-cakes can't accuse me of losing my pants when their heads are actually floating around somewhere in la-la land.
