Thanks, With Lincecum vs. Morton, I see a win here, but the Giants offense can always let you down..

[ELMO75]

Lincecum will not get the loss in this one. Bullpen might however the only bad outing I can recall this year was at Shea stadium. Giants should get 3 runs for him hopefully.

Just wanted to say a few things here....

A) You should have a look at your record and ponder the notion that you are +22 games but only +20.55 units if you keep picking 5 favs a day your units will begin to fall.

B) You should stop promoting your website in a free forum very tacky. Take it to the tout section.

 

[ToothedTeddy]

hey the guy is up in games won and profits. i hear what you're sayin but at the end of the day he's winning $. tough to criticize someone for that.

 

[ChicoandtheMan]

Of what I've seen, his site just show his plays and record. Not asking for anything else and don't look tout to me...then again, that's still to be seen.

 

[powerz]

I am just speaking from experience guy has been asking for feedback. The guy is winning at 71% and playing with juice dangerous combo. As the Winning % will correct itself eventually

criticism was meant to be constructive & to protect the sheep

 

[ivan722]

C'mon, the guy has merely invited anyone to go and have a look at his website he put together. He's also asked if anyone is interested in writing for his blog at his website to email him. Nothing wrong at all imo. The picks that he's been posting for free however have been doing quite well for my wallet.

Well unfortunately for you followers of mine, the angels and tigers are losing, but apparently something happened in the process of me confirming them as my bets, and they did not confirm, no wonder my internet was going so slow... They have been removed from my card for the day.

Sorry,

Ryan

There goes ALL YOUR CREDIBILITY that you have worked for the last 2 weeks. Nice try, don't be fooled by this guy people.
:nohead:

 

[ivan722]

Well wouldn't you just know it. For whatever reason when I submitted the Angels and Tigers as well, they didn't confirm either and I just found that out after I saw that they both lost.
Darn, am I one lucky s.o.b. today.
:nohead:

 

[ChicoandtheMan]

Are you sure you didn't accidentally actually play clev and balt??? What a crock bro...

 

[powerz]

so are you saying you wont be counting those losses in your record?

 

[boombaby]

But if they were winners? Then what?
