Home Forums Sports Picks Central Bet The House POD 10/31/03

Trick or treat, smash the man, not the pumpkin !

<img src="http://www.cs.yorku.ca/~szymon/pod.jpg" alt=" - " />
Cappers went 1-5 for -4.55 units

Scorekeeper:
You screwed up...again.

I had Cleveland +10' vs Phoenix.
Cleveland lost by 9. 95-86
You graded it as a loss and put me at -4.58
It should read -2.48

Six games you graded and couldn't it right. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="images/icons/blush.gif" />
Jeeze.

Cisco, sorry, but I've always tried to be fair with POD without asking any credit.

You could at least not be rude, especially since it wasn't actually my fault. Go to sports.yahoo.com/nba

check their scoreboard. It's wrong, I double checked, but they posted 99-87. So not my mistake actually. I don't want to sound like a prick, but for god sakes man, let's see you do a better job. You want it, you take it for a month and we'll see how you do.

For F**K's sake, and it wasn't even my god damn mistake.

Tor vs. Was o175

I know they're preaching D in TO but the O has woken up and I think the Wizards are going to be a little free wheeling.

My POD yesterday was a winner too! I should be...
85-73, +5.47 Units, 4 Win streak

Today I'm going with...

Vancouver Canucks to have the first power play in the game -125 (Olympic)

Oh, I see you corrected it already Dodgyman. Hey, if you want to teach me how to do the spreadsheet thing. I could take over doing the POD for a while. I used to do the POD at another forum and I can confirm that it LOOKS like a simple task but it's NOT! It's so easy to make a mistake or have some service give you the wrong score, for example one of the hockey games last night on sportline the score was 11-9!!! Yeah, right.

I think your browser used the old version of the image, I never updated it since this morning. I don't mind doing the POD at all, and when I make a mistake I have no problem being corrected, and I always update things when someone asks.

The only thing I don't like putting up with is people bashing me for making a mistake, especially when it was not my fault.

NHL Atl +150 vs Washington

dodgyman, I went to yahoo sports and the score there is incorrect. Sorry I blew up on you this time. If you want correct scores, all of the time, go to this site.

I se that you haven't changed my score yet. It should be -2.48

My pick for tonight is:

Toronto -5 over Washington

I'll change it for tommorow's update. I'm writing from work, don't have access to the stats.

nba

memphis -2.5 over boston

don't think boston is going to have a good year. they won their opener but now go on the road.

Tonight the Bearcats of Cincinnati head to Tampa Fla. to face off against So. Florida's Bulls. Both squads have a straight up record of 4-3, but niether club has been putting money in their backer's pockets as Cincinnati is 3-4 ATS, and So. Florida owns a 2-3 ATS record. This is the first meeting ever between the two, and both will be playing hard to remain bowl eligible.

A Bearcats victory will ride squarely on the back of Hall who has put up good numbers for Cincinnati. Despite being side-lined for a game due to a concussion, the Jr. ranks 15th in the nation with 111 yards a game combining for 666 yards this year. Tonight will be Hall's and the Bearcat's biggest challenge this year against the stout "D" of the Bulls who rank 14th in the Nation definsively allowing 130.6 yards on the ground per game, and a very stingy 169 yards through the air. Not only will Cincinnati have to break the "D" but must also over look the fact that So. Florida has only lost 1 contest in there last 22 at home. Impressive, but I think Cincinnati will be up to the challenge of making that 2 losses in their last 23 played infront of the home folks!

With good play calling mixing the run utilizing the atheletic ability of Hall, while testing the Secondary of the Bulls I see Cincinnati winning and ending any hopes of So. Florida's bowl chances. Being Halloween, watch for Cincinnati's head coach Rick Minter to reach into his bag of tricks providing the Bearcat backers with a few treats. Hall must step-up big to establish the ground game, then the Bearcats will become effective through the air while the Bulls play against the run. If this plays out the way I think it will, Cincinnati grabs the early lead forcing the Bulls to play catch-up only to fall short, but will add enough points to the scoreboard a long with the Bearcats to push this game OVER!

Have yourself a happy Halloween and enjoy a treat by playing the Cincinnati Bearcats as the slight 'dog a long with playing OVER the total of around 45 in this contest.

Good luck to all!
The Grand Wizard

Vancouver.............(-120)

The past 2 weeks have really been crazy. I got restructured out of my previous job 3 weeks ago, and I am starting a new job on Monday. Man, I hate the first day of a new job.

Good luck all

Phily was and never will be much of a West Coast competitor this early in the season. Too many <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> sights to see <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

A.I. is in for this one but I don't think it'll matter.
