[THE SHRINK]

MFG,

Good Luck to you and no matter the outcome, I have enjoyed it sir...

UNDER 8.5 EVEN Milwaukee/Florida

SEATTLE plus $1.35 vs. Yankees

 

[FunkSoulBrother]

Not too much ground to cover Doc. Goodluck man. If I can't win I want this money in the city that has captured my heart.

 

[docdekay]

Not a lot of ground?? I need three chalk winners..LOL.
I am out of my territory, but here goes.

HOU -80
BOS -67
NYY -50

Good luck. It was fun.

 

[MYFOOTBALLGAME]

Shrink-How could they let an amateur like me go against a Pro like you. Good luck on winning it all after you finish me off today.

My last two plays:Yankees - 150
Brewers/Marlins over 8.5 -120

 

[PO69]

cubs +114

rainout game will be Atlanta

 

[RPM]

pit +180

 

[THE SHRINK]

I was being a gentleman posting early...

Not nice to go opposite BOTH of my plays...

Is there no rule about doing such?

This just makes me sick about posting early when I could have waited for the last minute..

Oh well...

 

[raiders72001]

Und 7 SF +100
Und 9.5 Atl -115

Rain game: LA -124

Classy move MFG

 

[Journeyman]

MFG ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!

WTF IS THIS PIECE OF WORK HERE?

Taking opposite side is highly unethical against the integrity of this tournament, you know better!

This is exactly why contests are frowned upon , MFG I cannot believe you pulled this stunt

 

[JakeT.]

If it's not outlawed in the tourney I think it's just a sound strategic move.

 

[raiders72001]

Jake- This type of move was discussed beforehand. It was a classless move by MFG. By the way Jake, the Cubs/LA game is in LA today in case you were wondering.

 

[Journeyman]

Jake I will tell you exactly why this is a no class move...


The Shrink could have waited til 5 minutes before gametime and then posted, this will not be looked upon favorably! It clearly goes against the spirit of the contest....I don`t call this strategy at all....

 

[JakeT.]

I guess if it was discussed beforehand then it's shadier. Thanks for the update raiders. You always are there when I need a hand.
