Hopefully he used it for a OTPHJ at recess.

picks for today are

michigan +1
arkansas +16.5

I'd be very interested in knowing why you like those teams to cover tonight. IMO, the Michigan/Michigan State game is a stay away. Not enough value on either side.

But you're probably just flipping a coin. In that case, since the game is nearly a toss up, a coin might be an effective strategy.

Well played, ST. Well played indeed.

I like that you're picking a game that you admit you feel is a 50/50 proposition, when you need to win at least 52.5% of your game to break even. I'm not math major, but ...

You're not a math major and he's not in high school math, so, room to grow for both? I didn't like the troll at first, but any fan of beeline is a friend of mine.

Finally created an account here on the forum, and I gotta say I love it already just after watching this thread haha

i think he should be giving credit where due and saying "my older brother's model..." NOT "my model"

this can't be real.. or it would be really awesome. enjoying this thread!

So do you handicap games at lunch time or recess?

This thread is eerily reminiscent of "Sarah J. Phillips". Except instead of posing as a female, they're posing as a "kid" that has an older brother making picks for him. "I've got it! I'll create some clever back story about how I'm just some kid that's never been around the industry .. blah blah blah blah". It's a pretty tired gig.

I don't know, mount. I think he's real.

Nevertheless, I'm getting a kick out of it so I don't really care. Not like any of us here are going to start buying his picks if he goes on a heater.

I don't know. I think I can get his picks for a pack of Skittles and if I let him smell my fingers. That would have sold me at 13.

No algorithms tonight? Must be too busy playing Halo...

Maybe his algorithm felt that the lines were too tight tonight.

Either that or his next door neighbor had a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese.
