Fred, thanks for all you do. I always look for your threads when making my picks to make sure we're on the same boat. Care to share your thoughts on UCLA Stanford? My initial lean here is Stanford and the over since both teams are putting up 30+ points a game and Stanford does well as a home dog. Would love your insight!
Not true. If they replay that game 100 times it goes under more often than not. So, he made the right call.it just happened to be one of those days it didn't win
Kind o of like counting cards. If you can you are giving yourself an advantage but doesn't guarantee you win every hand but you will win in the long run because you are playing the odds
maybe the entire game was a fluke? We saw 1 game out of 100. Its not "fair" to say they would all play out that way, or even half of them would.
You mentioned blackjack- your reasoning behind you can only base the game on what you saw- I watch one hand on blackjack and expect all the hands to go that way? No, each hand is different, as each "new game" would be played differently.
In the NFL teams division teams play 2 times a season. Its for sure not uncommon to see one game low scoring and the next high scoring. College teams have re-matched in championship games more than once and not always played out the same way in game 2. LSU beats Alabama on the road, then loses the national championship by 22 points.
No its certainly not "fair" to say they'd all play out that way.
Having a lead for a bet 55 minute of a 60 minute game doesn't make it the right side.
thats why there is never a right or wrong side.. there is a winning side
Much respect to Fred for retracting the statement, as he did get lucky on the MSU game and we ALL do, and you'll be on both sides of that in your gambling lifetime
However we do agree, shitty way to lose.

In the long run, these things even out. If you watched the actual games, ND-Wisconsin, and NC State and Clemson, you would see how scoring was at a premium. Lots of great defense. It was a good bet, bad result. What are the odds of a kickoff return and two picks sixes in the 4th quarter? Very long odds. Clemson-NC State 28 points after regulation. This right and wrong side stuff is semantics. You win or lose. I don't regret either play.
