winky -- nice seeing you also. Too bad you didn't win the drawing!

I have to side with Ken White (and not because I did a story on him in Friday's Form...I've also done stories on Jimmy V, too).

Winky,

I need an opinion on CSF -7 vs Sacto State, say hi to JK for me.

 

[ChuckSims]

So far Ken White is 4-1 and Jimmy V is 2-1 including his best bet.

 

[winkyduck]

thru saturday:

ken white: 5-1 w/a BB win

jummy vaccaro: 3-0 w/a BB win (NOT 2-1 as chuck sims posted)

the 2 combined to go 8-1 on saturday and the lucky person sitting in row 2, seat 2 friday night at the stardust is now $1.050 richer thanks to jimmy v (he makes a $550 bet on his BB - and gives it to someone in the crowd - and they do it by picking a row and seat number - and 2-2 won it and sadly the person sitting in row 3, seat 11 didn't - ME!)

edge has to go to white based on more wins so far.

also - this marks the 4th time white has submitted 7 picks. so far, he is 20-7 with 1 pick to go. if he wins it - he will be 21-7 with picks given out for free on the radio. if he loses he will "only" be 20-8 - over 70%

after the show i went up and talked to ken. he is a really cool guy. we spoke about a few things and one of the things we both agreed on:

USC will beat Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl (if they play)

keep this in mind - for the way ken white has been going - i don't think many people want to step in front of his "train."

rail - this is obviously after the fact - since fullerton has 10 minutes left in the game - and down 2 - but i honestly would have told you to lay the points or pass it - do not play fullerton.

look up fullerton's record last season - and in year's past - as a fave - and it is ugly. the ONLY game we covered as a fave last season - was the season finale - and we hit a trey at the buzzer to send it to OT and won by like 4- laying 1/2 that.

for all those out there - DO NOT lay points with fullerton at home - either take the dog or pass!

Jimmy V is a great guy I have known him for over 15 years, He once hit a 100$ 10 teamer for all the clerks at a book in vegas it doesnt matter if your a high roller or a bust out, he treats everyone the same

These guys are doing well for themselves, thanks for all the updates Winky.

 

[winkyduck]

white finishes 6-1 and will face fezzik on 12-12

vaccaro finishes 5-2 - AND LOSES!

combined these 2 went 11-3 with free picks - nothing to sneeze at!

 

[Fezzik]

Kenny White simply plays no defense. His opponents light him up week after week putting an enormous burden on his offense.

 

[LazyEye+]

Are these guys any good?

 

[MangoMan+]

Both are very good.
