FREE MONEY

Take Oakland -1.5 this week (better lines are available, I am quoting the worst).

Citation: My Work

My Quote/Disclaimer (with spelling corrections):

First off, I would like to apologize. I rarely visit this forum, and contribute even more rarely. However, every once and a great while, I spot a pick whose true line is so far off base I just need to post it, and it deserves its own thread.

Mortgage your house. Mortgage your kids. Take Oakland -1.5 this week vs. MIN. It doesn't get any easier than this. I am flying out to Vegas this week just so I can bet as much as possible on this game.

My lock of the millennium MTD (millennium-to-date) record: 1-0-0

Do you realize my sample size is growing and the results should speak for themselves within the next millennium?

Re: FREE MONEY

do you realize that realise can be spelled either way depending on whether you're using the dominant american or dominant british spelling?

No, I did not realise that, and weather it is English or British spelling I apologise, I am not normally a grammar nit, the spell check set me off and I tried to act smart.

Either way, until next time.... (which could very well be several years from now).... enjoy the free money!

Re: FREE MONEY

does that mean you're not gonna be around for us to yell at you if the pick is wrong? because that really hurts the incentive

Not sure what you want, but I will self-ban or something if I am wrong, after apologizing. I assure you I would read every post ITT regardless of if I am write or wrong.

Re: FREE MONEY

I actually like Raiders in this game, too. But it seems so far from a lock to me. I'd say Raiders win by 3 or more like 55% of the time.

If this was a 55% coin-flip I would not have posted.

This is the best lock (not Jahvid Best though, that would suck).

Yes I was trying to act smart, and as the complete opposite of a grammer-nazi of course I messed it up (I understand math not words). That's what I get for listening to the red-squiggly lines under words known as spell check.

I feel like an idiot because I know Nits get Zits.

In my last lock, I estimated 85%. This one is greater.
