Wal's 2011 College Football Thread

[wal66]

12-9 is an awful start? Thats 57%. No one is that good long term.

You are seeing 12-9 overall which includes going 7-4 the first 2 weeks by just picking games. I'm talking about the start I got off to this past weekend with using the program plays that went 5-5. The 1 game difference at 5-5 instead of the 6-4 which I aspired makes it an awful start to the program portion of the season.

Durito, I have lofty expectations.


Side note:

Durito, last week I was talking about how I no longer bought points and this week I am buying points. I was influenced seeing a pro such as yourself who buys points. I don't know what the significance of buying from 18 to 17 is, especially since I think Florida wins by 21 at the minimum but it felt like the right thing to do.

Wal even if you go 50-0 durito will say it's awful because you could go 0-51 in the next games and don't even break even. The glass is always half empty with him.

 

[wal66]

I think Durito was actually trying to be encouraging this time Pav's. He was telling me to look on the bright side and don't get down. You know, he was being all mentoring-like. Coach Durito has a nice ring to it.

 

[rito]

i dont think you followed what i said about buying points at all.

going 57% at -130 is only slightly above break even.

and buying 18 to 17 for -130 probably makes you worse off.


and to call 5-5 an awful start if 6-4 was your goal is really ridiculous too. its one game. you could have gone 2-8.

 

[wal66]

Pav's, you were right afterall.

 

[rito]

jesus fucking christ.

anytime you want to redo the durito 500 for 100k let me know.

 

[wal66]

Durito calm down I was trying to be funny.

Durito, I fully realize that 57% at -130 is a bad thing but I'm not ever gonna try and go 57% long term at -130. I'm trying to go 100% just one time.

 

[rito]

you wont go even 50%

 

[wal66]

you wont go even 50%

You're saying both Florida and Georgia fail to cover?

 

[rito]

i dont give a shit if they do or dont. you are just flipping a coin.

 

[wal66]

No no no, you said, and I quote,

you wont go even 50%

.
I only have 2 plays posted thus far that I have money one so you ARE saying that neither will cover. I am positive that at least one will and pretty sure both will. I'm so confident about this that I will wager $400 that they don't go worse than 50% with Florida -17 and Georgia -10.

 

[rito]

i was talking about the rest of the year. i will put up $100 against your $400 that you go 0-2 this week.

 

[wal66]

Nope. The only bet I am offering is if I go 2-0 you pay me $400 and if I go 0-2 I pay you $400.

 

[rito]

1-1 is a push?

Fine Ill take that bet. Its a coin toss.

 

[wal66]

Yes, 1-1 is a push, I wouldn't try to put the odds in my favor.

It's a bet then.

 

[roguejuror]

oh boy :

[wal66]

Just to be clear, not that you don't understand but in case anyone wants to "what if" (Archie) it to death.

1-1 = PUSH
1-0-1 = PUSH
0-0-2 =PUSH

It's 2-0 or 0-2 only.
