Does anybody besides me read these?

[FishFan]

I read them religiously. I gamble on almost anything(still waiting for Bush to win the presidency to collect $200), so I find Grego's selections interesting. I made a killing this year betting on the Olympics http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

I read just to see if Grego will ever reveal where he can get to make "even proposition" bets with no vig, and therefore hit on 52% or 54% of his bets and come ahead in the black.

[Grego]

Quick, My method of "betting" is simplistic. I've only made parlay bets on football games in the "real" world.
In my posts, if I bet $50, I hand the bet over to the cyber bookie. If I win, he gives that back, plus $50. If I lose, he keeps it.
It's just a simple illustration of high and low confidence bets, albeit unsophisticated.

[QuikSand]

I understand, Grego-- just some good-natured ribbing/observation. Should have included one of those little winky dudes...

Good luck with your picks.

I've been dreading this.....what a brutal week. I believe this was the first week I've gone under lost money on high confidence games (-$50).

after wading through the above mess, I end up $80 in the hole, which puts me at $480 for the year. Those damn Pennsylvania teams made all the difference this week, although I believe those surprises were more a function of Cleve and Ny playing inspired football. Although I think C Palmer's days are numbered in Cleve, you don't see any of his players quitting on him. I think he deserves another chance.
