Looks like it was a tough week for most – I went 5-5 and that was good enough to finish in a tie for forty-fourth.

Tight race.

With the spread, it makes it a 50/50 chance most of the time. The leaders are at 31-19 which is impressive, but the most impressive to me is joyriding dawg at 13-37. I am amazed at that.

Hey now…I did not join the pool until week four. So… cut me some slack!

I was 5 for the first 5 of the day until losing on my pick of the Dawgs, then only 1-3 after that. I admit the Txs-v-OSU & Wisc-v-Neb games had me as confused as any so far this year, and predictably, I lost them both.
This against the spread thing is definitely humbling. This is only vindication for my conscience about why I’ve never gambled.

Back in the day at Georgia, I was a Bookie. I made a nice little income..Then my fiance said, “You can be my Wife or you can be a Bookie.” In retrospect I should have stayed a Bookie

LOL. The “life”as changed with technology. I just moved this past spring and had to find a new bookie. Really cool, he uses an off shore site which is avialable 24/7 and handles all bookings and accounting. The “local” acts as a middle man and handles the money when needed. He basically pays a weekly fee for each client and has them do his job for him. No more manning the phone for hours a day and worrying about the man.

Need a “local” in Atlanta. I am a Native and know my way all over this City.

Haven’t lived there since the mid-70s so I am not the one to ask. Sorry. Based on my expereince this season, it is good you have been on the sidelines. I am beginning to think my ability to understand or predict the actions of 20 year olds is seriously beginning to fade.

It’s the first Saturday in October…That’s when things really start to make sense. Now’s the time to make $$. The 20 year olds are the same as always. I can see it in my Son. My Daughter…not so much.

Senator, anyway to get a Thursday game on th elist every week? We cannot see these gurus’ picks until the picks close for the 1st game, and I would like to see the picks so I can get some insight into the week’s games before I place my real bets. I am getting my butt kicked by the whacky game of CFB this year! Can a Brother get some help?

I’ll think about it. I’ve got a number of folks who would prefer I don’t, though.

Thanks, I can understand some people don’t think about CFB until Saturday so it might decrease participation. As a compromise, how about an earlier cutoff on Saturday morning, say 10:00? Surely folks are engaged by that time of the week.

I don’t have any control over the cutoff time. That’s up to the site.

NOoooo. Must keep 12:00 the cutoff time. Have to get all the last minute changes and such.
