Sweet Mother of Mary...sorry guys...but I have to say I am now getting worried...

we have ted, kodiak & CC on the same 2 plays, Kojak is also on Mich state but against on Providence.

2 Seems to be all but gone in terms of the pointspread but luckily I locked in last night with OLYMPIC...

p.s I have a POY located in the Hockey thread, I am gonna play it for 5%...It is a Proposition bet that will last the entire month of march...just thought id let you guys know...

p.p.s Ted, I truly am sorry for the stress this forum cauzed u yesterday...I will be making an appeal to the MODS to make sure the NCAAB forum gets cleaned up a bit....

 

[Kapusta]

Oldman-This can be a great week, the fact your on my top play again is reason to load up! Good luck like your card, just a little wary about the Cuse on your card. Sometimes they just play down to their competition, no play for me but i hope you cash! Best of Luck, glad we cashed on Okie St. yesterday! GO FRIARS!

 

[oldmanTED]

Savant:

Well, we're all going to be either right or wrong together. Leaving me out, this group has been on fire, so a great sign.

Wow! You are releasing a 5* play. I've got to check that out. Hope you nail that one as well as all your plays today.

As for yesterday, it's done. Thank you for all your support on my behalf. The mods have done a good job this morning of cleaning up the threads from yesterday and putting them where they belong at this point. I appreciate what they have done as well in this matter. So all is good as we move forward as one today.

 

[oldmanTED]

Kapusta:

I like the positive way you think. Don't mind going to the cashier with you on any day. Glad we're together again today on Providence. As for Syracuse, I am very cautious with conference road favorites, but was very impressed with the Orangemen's win over Pittsburgh on the road. Recognize that Syracuse can play down to it's competition at times, but the feeling here is that the Mountaineers have very little emotion left as the regular season winds down and the Orangemen seem to be playing to secure their birth in the NCAA tournament. Just some thoughts to share.

 

[-Slim-]

thanks for the picks oldmanted, truly appreciated..


regarding yesterdays mess, dont even give it thought, I was going to comment that something like that was going to be difficult to do but I didnt want to rain on anyones parade so I stayed quiet and put. Looks like it was a smart move.

There is no sense in making this a competition anyway. Keep em coming, we appreciate em!

Slim:

Thank you. Looks like the forum is tilting a bit on these plays tonight so far. But, not everyone, which is a good sign. Like to see balanced opinions. Best of luck to you tonight.

 

[LowTide]

Ted, I have been attempting to email you,but I am having trouble with my server.At some point,you will have mail.Hope you don't mind.

 

[oldmanTED]

Low Tide:

Don't mind at all. I don't always check this particular e-mail address on a daily basis as this is a secondary address I use for registering on such things as the RX. Feel free to let me know if you have sent me a message and I will be sure to check my mail and respond back to you.

 

[SSI]

ted, just read all the things that went on last night.. wow, someone thought you were mcirish.. i dont really think that you are but i for one, always liked mcirish.. Guess you guys have similiar writing styles.. Good luck on todays plays..

 

[Co-Captain]

Alright Ted, we are on three of the plays together. I think Providence has some good situations for them, check out the info I was able to get on them over Pitt in my writeup, and if you dont mind let me know what you think of it. I could use some feedback from you. GL and Aloha CC.

 

[oldmanTED]

SSI:

Thank you for the well wishes for tonight. As for last night, no more words need be spoken. Best wishes to you my friend.

 

[oldmanTED]

Co-Captain:

Wow! Providence is your top 7* play today.

Cap, your write-up was excellent. The time and effort that you spend researching and evaluating the match-ups is beyond compare. You, my friend, are a wonderful assest to this forum and provide great insight for the members and viewers. I am very happy to see the success that you had in February and hope that it continues in March all the way through the NCAA Championship. With all the work that you do for this forum and the hours that you are working to evaluate and produce your write-ups, you deserve to reap the reward. This oldman couldn't be happier to see you succeed. The very best of luck to you tonight and throughout the remaining days of the college hoops season.

Ted

Was reading all the BS last night and because I don't post here I was reluctant to say anything, but I figured what the he**. How anyone could question your integrity is beyond belief. You've done nothing but good things for this forum. GL to you in the CBB post-season. By the way, as you already know I'm playing Virg for 4 units tonight and I have 3 leans to Wisc (I know I'm against the whole board here) Miami Fla, and Auburn.

 

[oldmanTED]

nysports:

As always, I have great respect for you as you speak softly but your words are heard loud and clear to this oldman. I am going to e-mail you, so please check your inbox shortly. Best of luck with your plays tonight my friend. I truly respect your handicapping ability and am confident that you will do very well in this business.

 

[Kojak]

I am with you like nearly everyone on MSU but that's it for tonight. Best of luck.
