Alright, so as far as my Handicapping goes, everything is great. The luck is definitly on my side this season. (I believe there is alot of skill there, but anyone who says no luck at all is involved in a 78% season is a tool..lol)
Anyway, most of you are probably wondering what the bad luck is. Well let me share my unfortunate event with you all. Well it is Finals Week, which means LOTS of work and Little Play. I have not posted a play in 2 days (very rare for me). Anyway, I was about 8 pages through a 10 Page Micro UK Analysis paper last night. I kept getting sidetracked by the internet and needed to finsih because the Paper was due at noon today and I also had an Online Calc 2 Final due today at noon so I needed some rest. So I decided to take my laptop to the "Study Room" so that I would not be distracted from outside sources. Can you guess where I am going with this?? Anyway, I get up there and pull everything out, I grab the laptop from my bag to put it up on the table and BAM, it slipped from my fingers and crashed onto the floor. I was hoping it would be fine, but when I picked it up, it was making some really strange noises and smelled like burning plastic. COMPLETELY CRASHED. I tried everything to revive it, but it was simply not enough.
So at 1A.M. this morning I had to go to the Computer Lab (where I am now) and restart a 10 page paper that was due today at noon. Luckily I finished around 10a.m. this morning and had time to finish my Calc 2 Final. (Working on NO sleep right now) AAANNNNDDD I don't have a laptop anymore. I am working on trying to get another, but financially I am not in a position to do so at this time. ALOT of valueable information is on that comp and ALOT of the tools and methods for Handicapping I use are as well. The good news is that I can retrieve the information from the hard drive (That's what some Techy guy told me anyway). The bad news is that I do not have a laptop right now thus not allowing me too cap games. :shocked:
Like I said tho, I am doing everything I can too get a new laptop ASAP. Could withdraw funds from my sportsbook account, but WE ALL know how long that will take. 2-3 Weeks is not an option.
I will be back on here AS SOON as I can afford a new laptop, and start back on NCAAB,NBA and will have ALL My Bowl Games that I wager along with write-ups. (I have already seen Quite a Few game I REALLY like).

Im sure some of you could care less about this, but I just wanted everyone to know my current situation and not think I am just quitting posting. I can still come to this computer lab and check the forums Daily, I just cannot Handicap the games until I get a new laptop.

Good Luck too All of You, and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :103631605

keep your head up there buddy......i was in your shoes a couple years ago with finals. Had a 15 page paper and my dumbass didnt backup everything crashed and had to start from scratch. Stuff always seems to happen at the wrong times.

Get your schoolwork done, bc that is the most important and your education is what will be there in the end......boy do i miss school but I def don't miss those finals.

Good luck on your finals......im sure you will do well:pope:

That is very kind of you. Although I would feel a bit strange if someone just "gave" me money. I feel like money should only be received if you actually "earn" it. Obviously with my current situation I would not be opposed to anyones generosity. I do have Paypal, that's the only option really. Just PM me if this is something you want to do. I would NEVER ask, but I may take you up on your offer due to my current situation.

Just PM me and i'll give you details.

Thanks,
Randy

carbonite.com $50 per year for unlimited backup. Still won't save a computer crash, but will certainly get you back on for feet quicker (and save work!!).

Best of luck this week. I am so happy to be out of college and in the workforce. I feel for ya.

Damn, sounds like the situation from hell! I would probably cry if that happened to me. Just to clarify, does that mean you won't be able to pick any bowl games for a few weeks? I am curious which games you "REALLY like" lol.

unfortunately for me I have not "found" Randizzle until recently (so have not been able to follow all but his last few picks - florida and BC)

But I hate to say this - but if you have legitamately been following him for 2 months and have taken advantage of the ridiculous run, why not give 2% back to him?

If you won 2K, throw the kid 20 bucks..... i would

No problem... I tailed you picks for the last 2 weeks of NCAAF... you made me some cash... and I can't imagine how much you would made me if I followed you from the beginning... and now I feel I can help you when you need some help...

I'll contact you ASAP

I have 11-2 record with your picks... I wage one unit on all my plays and my unit is 110$

I would like this donaton to be transparent, so I wish to say that I will donate 100$ to your account

Glad I can help

Thanks and GL!

I'll throw the dude a bone too. Unfortunately I haven't been religious about following his picks but this thread made me feel for the dude so I registered so I could get in touch with him.

Pony up all you deadbeats!

Hustling? If I had this guys picks, I'd have been charging 2 months ago. The only reason I joined this site was to thank him for his first 3 CBB picks that I parleyed into some $$$. I've been checking his picks since he was at covers.

Subtle way to get a computer. Keep hustling kid.


Come on Georgie, you don't really think this guy hasn't been offered a signficant amount of cash to give his plays to some tout already. He may have been secretely hoping the guys here would offer to help him out, but to think he could not have cashed in on this sick run of his is just silly. I GUARANTEE, CALL IT A LOCK IF YOU LIKE, that he has had at least a dozen offers to go tout. Guys with less credentials get offers all the time. Cut the guy some slack. He is certainly intelligent enough to know that he could make a 6 figure income selling his plays if he wanted to. Hell, there are sick fughs who pay for loser picks like Lang and many others. Can you image how much this guy could make if he chose to.
Say something nice and supportive or say nothing at all. It really does make you a better person.
