WEEKLY BIG WINNER: ERIC +33
If anybody watched the end of the Raiders/Eagles and knew what was at stake for Eric... it was amazing! That game was OVER!
There is one more week to preserve the top dog spot!
OVERALL TEAM : +8
WEEKLY BIG WINNER: WHITEY +10
Finally, we put some winning weeks together!
With only 2 weeks left, Ron and Whitey are jockeying for a spot in the top 3. Gus takes over the top spot as Todd falls to -5 over the last two weeks. Has he started his fall from grace? We all knew it couldn't last.
3 out of the last 4 weeks, I broke even at 19 wins and 19 losses in those weeks. Lots of juice, but no glory.
Is anybody else going to fight for the top 3 spots?
It's my fault the numbers were up late. I had to do some training down in L.A. and I forgot my laptop.
OVERALL TEAM : +26
WEEKLY BIG WINNER: JIMMY +12
Wow! 2 nice weeks in a row!
Let's finish strong like the Niners!
Jimmy bought 10 extra chips. Always remember, add your "CURRENT CHIP COUNT" to your "EXTRA CHIPS PURCHASED" and you magically have your "chips available to bet" number.
OVERALL TEAM : +9
WEEKLY BIG WINNER: GUS +12
Hey, nice week! +9 is more of what I expect from veteran bettors such as ourselves. Keep it up.
Sam bought 5 extra chips. Always remember, add your "CURRENT CHIP COUNT" to your "EXTRA CHIPS PURCHASED" and you magically have your "chips available to bet" number. Then do some winning.
Some things I thought were note worthy this week:
Nice parlay! I guess if that was your bet, it would have been just as bad as straight bets. So, I stand corrected here.
What in the Kentucky Ozark hillbilly retard fuckery is this? Risk 3.5 chips to win 2.7 chips? What the fuck?
OVERALL TEAM : *EVEN*
WEEKLY BIG WINNER: ACE +5
I really don't mean to shit on everybodys parlay parade. I saw less parlays and more multi-team teasers, which I suppose are statistically less risky. Maybe somebody read my links?!? Yeah, I didn't think so.
Anyway, I'm not trying to get anybody all butthurt. Looking at the bets on Sunday and seeing my bets being the only straight bets (not week 12, there were a few straight bets) reminds me of the biker parties I used to go to. I could get drunk as fuck because there was absolutely no line for the keg. I could sit on that muthafucker all night and practically drink it myself. The line for the nitrous tanks were 20 people deep at all times and the bottom of the tanks would keep freezing up due to constant use. It's just weird. It's not how it's supposed to be. A party where nobody has a Solo cup, they're all walking around with giant 3 foot balloons. I don't have a problem with parlays or balloons. I'll fuck with either one... in moderation.
Anyway, the bikers did have a good reason. When the party was over, everybody had fun, 150 bikes leave and no drunk drivers. Give me a good reason for 10 parlays and one straight bet on a Sunday and I'll listen. Until then, if we are betting that way, I feel like we are driving our Harley straight off the first cliff we see.
I was really pulling for the 2 late parlay/teaser/whatever bets that only needed the Steelers to win by 9. That would have been a big win for us. It didn't happen though.
******SAM NEEDS TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL CHIPS!!!********
OVERALL TEAM : +14
WEEKLY BIG WINNER: GUS +9
OK, somebody must have lucked out and hit a parlay this week? We had our 2nd winning week of the season! But we also uncharacteristically had an 8 chip straight bet on Missouri and a 7 chip straight bet on the Falcons on MNF that won. So maybe all the parlays sucked as usual.
I would say congratulations on the winning week, but we are going to have to get at least 2 in a row for that. BIG BIG week coming up. I foresee big chip lead changes this week.
OVERALL TEAM : -15
WEEKLY BIG WINNER: TODD/ERIC +5
It's 9:50 A.M. Sunday morning. I took a look at our pending bets. 6 pending bets. All 6 are parlays. Good luck. No wonder we lose every week. Just my opinion. But if we lose every week with the high risk bets, don't you feel like we should employ a different strategy? I guess I'm bitching because I can. Last year, Gus' end of the year parlay win was nice. If it happens again this year, I will STFU. If we continue to lose every week, ok every week except last week, then maybe I won't.
Ok, it's 10:10 A.M. 10 pending bets, the only bets that are not parlays are my own bets. I suppose that if I was running away with the chip lead this year I would be more convincing about bitching. But whatever. I hope all the parlays win. But historically they are not. 1 winning week. That's all we got. 1 winning week.
WHY I SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T BET A PARLAY?
WHY ARE PARLAYS BAD? If you don't like complicated math, skip to the last line in the article.
CASINO WINS! More doomsday math.
PARLAY = BAD Read the 3rd article out loud.
There is nothing we can do about it, Todd is the chip leader. After going +19 in the past 3 weeks, you deserve it. Enjoy it, because I'm coming for you and that parlay bubble is going to pop!
OVERALL TEAM : +14
WEEKLY BIG WINNER: TODD +11
Congratulations!!! Our first winning week! Give ya boy, Todd a big kiss and rub his belly! Big baller this week at +11.
I added some information. I got the idea that it was a little confusing, so I made it simpler. If you are still confused about how many chips you have to bet, just add your purchased chips to your chip total. You can't buy chips to get your chip total higher so it will not go into that category. If you want me to make another list of how many chips you have left to bet, let me know. But, like I said, just add your "extra chips purchased" to your "current chip count" and that is what you have left to bet with.
Ric Flair 30 for 30 is on tonight, don't miss it!
OVERALL TEAM : EVEN
WEEKLY BIG WINNER: WHITEY +7
Everybody loves other kids videos! Here's a new one!
We should pat ourselves on the back! Even though I tried to single handedly destroy us, we came out even for week 8!
Every year, at some point, I get completely discouraged about betting. Sometimes it's the refs, or the back door covers, or no luck. This year I was hot with all the Alex Smith dink and dunk check down bets. As soon as I go big I go full retard Jay Cutler and end up 5-17 in the last two weeks. But ya know what? This year, fuck it. I'm not slowing down. I'm still in third place. I am still hot. Jets lookin' real good Thursday night! No, really.
Everybody owes money! Pay up this week! Juice money + any additional chips that you purchased and have not paid for (that's the extra $number in the juice column for Ace, Whitey, and Eric).
OVERALL TEAM : -6
WEEKLY BIG WINNER: GUS +10
Everybody loves other kids videos!
Have we had a winning week yet? I don't think we have. Gus has had 2 strong weeks in a row to take over as chip leader. Eric and Whitey need to buy some chips.
OVERALL TEAM : -11
WEEKLY BIG WINNER: GUS +9
*****I screwed up******* Sorry, but Eric actually rebounded in week 5 and won 4 chips! I had previously reported that Eric lost 5 chips. You'd think that I get my news from CNN. Nice job, Eric. Sorry for screwing that up, buddy. Eric is still tied for last place with Adrian. But that is ok, +5 chips is way better than -4 and there is plenty more to be played!
Also the number in parenthesis beside your chip total and juice total is the last weeks up or down movement, in case somebody didn't understand what that number was.
The additional numbers in parenthesis in the juice column is extra chip purchases. Eric has purchased $55, or 5 additional chips. Adrian has purchased 8 additional chips. I'm pretty sure that Adrian's total is $88, but what the fuck do I know? I'm just RBL's data entry robot.
OVERALL TEAM : -11
WEEKLY BIG WINNER: DAVE +6
That wild fire went through Coffey Park like bad picks went through RBL's bet fund last week. Holy shit!
Eric had to buy 5 more chips and went and lost them all. Sam dropped out of first place with a big 6 chip drop. Gus was nowhere to be found last week.
Good things to come! I can feel it!
OVERALL TEAM : -8
WEEKLY BIG WINNER: DAVE +4
Everybody loves other kids videos!
So, it looks like Eric is buying a new stack of chips already! That's ok, it's early. We can turn this around.
