Huge NCAA Lock

RUTGERS -19.5

i think i've had about 8 "lock" type suggestions on here, and i bet my record is 1-7 (0-8). oh, i guess i had the FSU/miami UNDER's, which were so obvious. so maybe 2-7... but i do think that sometimes when you think something's a lock, you're missing some huge piece of the puzzle, as i was (i guess, because some bets missed by miles)...not sure that makes huge sense.

regarding kentucky, yes, i think they're better than vandy. but i wonder about a huge, rest-of-season type letdown after the LSU, florida (And i guess louisville earlier) games.

The result of one game hardly means you are or are not a donk. The fact that you think it is a lock is what makes you a donk.

If UK wins then that still does not mean it was ever a "lock".
Do you see why?

Also, you being a UK fan and being all excited about how good UK is and also being in attendance at this game does not make it a lock either.
In fact, these aspects make it even further away from a lock.
Do you see why?


I think anyone who seriously makes a post about some game being a "lock" I suggest that post be deleted or thread locked and be directed to the low-content forum where I believe you are free to push all your ideas about, "OMGZZ. I'm the BIGGEST fan EVAR!! and I GHER-UHN-TEA 'dey izz gonna' whoop 'em YO!!"

But for the rest of the threads, as amusing as some of these can be, I think we should take a harsh stance on "this team is a LOCK" and other extreme cheerleading or trash-talk about whatever games because really around here we are trying to do something that at least vaguely resembles serious analysis.

When trying to present your record it would be better if you stated you were up X amount of units. Being up $1100 is pretty meaningless. If you are a $50 better then it is amazing. If you are a $5k better then it is [censored].

The juice on my average bet is more then $1100 so as a monetary amount I don't find it impressive. Now if you stated you were +22 units then I would have a context for how your season is going.

no i'm not going to the game, and my unit is $100.
