2p2 best bet thread: week of 5/20/12

Add one per day of

Miller -130 Sportsbook
Hardy -115 SBG
Struve -125 5Dimes

All UFC 146 - takes my bets for the week to six which while not how we're supposed to do it should be fine I hope?

gl me!

this is how i read the first sentence: "rather than follow the rules like everyone else has to, i'm gonna do what the **** I want to do..."

i give you slack b/c of the time difference or whatever and don't really bother you whenever you post 2 at the same time on some, 'one for today one for tomorrow', but you have to follow the rules like everyone else: 1 bet per day.

i do realize you have a very tiny bit of extenuating circumstances, but just going, 'ahh **** it i don't want to have to come back so here's my next 3 days' worth of picks' can't work.

right now you got:

Shane Del Rosario +145 vs Miocic, UFC 136, Sportsbook for Thursday

Adding Diego Brandao -235 vs Elkins for Friday on Bookmaker

which was two at once, but whatever.

right now i'll assume you want

Miller -130 Sportsbook

the most of those 3 since you posted it first in the group. if you want either hardy or struve before him, just say so. you can only make one bet for saturday. you can't just decide to make 3 picks in one day and say 'well i didn't make any picks on monday or tuesday, use them for those days'. if you want to make 6 ufc bets, like we've discussed before, make one every day.

i like you, and i want you to keep posting picks in this thread, but you have to abide by the same rules as everyone else. i let slide all the times you make 2 picks at once, but i feel like you're taking advantage now, so it has to stop.

i don't think anyone else would start saying, 'well hey i didn't make any picks earlier in the week, so i want the indians, braves, marlins, giants and red sox tonight', but the reason you can only pick 1 game a day is because i don't want to have to grade all of that. hopefully you understand. thanks.

hey MTL, i dunno if you're reading the thread, but if you are go back a little and see where prophet pointed out that you're probably inadvertently not counting juice on your losses. ie..only subtracting one when you laid -107 juice.

it's not a big deal at all, i had you at

13-10-1 +2.53

before the above boston pick.

Glad I stayed away due to it being slightly outside the parameters of my current system...at least until the comeback

I was dead wrong on that one too. While I do think the Rockies are slightly! undervalued going against Cueto takes some balls since the Reds were 7-2 in games he pitches and he was around +5.50 units on the year so far.

It's Saturday somewhere, right? And I dunno if I'll be around tomorrow, and this line is moving in the wrong direction, and it's already on the edge of my parameters, but I'll throw it up here anyway...

JM3 4-2 +1.8u

Mets -150 v. Padres @ LVH

[SwoopAE]

Yeah thats fine with miller ill add the next one tomorrow. Apologies I figured it would be easier to keep track of if I just made the bets I was sure I was going to make in one post. I'll choose one or the other of the other ones tomorrow.

If this was a legitimate competition i'd take care to follow the rules more precisely but time difference etc i've made a few double 'today/tomorrow' posts and i'll stop doing it.

Thank you Prohpet73 for pointing this out, and sorry about that.

According to these, I believe you should be 13-9-1 (+3.57u) before tonight's loss (13-10-1 +2.53u after).

Not trying to sabotage the thread's units more than my MLB bets have been, just trying to keep it real.

Sorry about this Wiper, it happened intention, I will go through it all over and correct them, it just happened becuase i usually go through this thread right after work and mind is switched off.

when is it eastern standard (east coast USA) when it hits midnight where you are? guess it shouldn't be too hard to point out.

thing is, we have a pretty decent group of regs and i think a lot of them know your situation so they wouldn't take advantage of me or the thread in that way. but i'm still gonna stick with the 'one pick a day' rule.

just makes it easier. i'm still gonna have to go back for golf tourney bets and other futures, i allow those, but i don't want to have to go back on a daily basis because people pick 3 mlb games or whatever on a monday for mon/tues/wed....i dunno.

thanks for being understanding. i hate this kind of stuff because it makes me feel like i'm being a dick, but i guess i AM doing the legwork itt so i should probably be afforded a request or two.

when you know there's a ufc on a saturday, start with the main card (which should be posted on mondays yeah?) and work your way down daily? pretty sure you can get most of the card in 6 days, right?
