Scott-
You made a move that very few of the folks on here have the cajones to make - my repsect to you man...

Best of luck in the future - it'll happen brother

Youre a class act my friend - see you around.

 

[hm23]

good to hear, Scott.

I think Scott-Atlanta was right about Bush's lateral snafu as it was a huge emotional turning point. I don't think it was the primary reason they lost. I had problems with SC's 4th down decisions snafus and loose coverages and inability to contain Bevo...err, Young from running wild.

Once you sublimate your ego - like in this case - you'll find the bullseye on your posts will diminish. It'll also help in your gambling decisions.

GL2U...and there's still hoops season.

Sorry Scotty but I'm calling bullschnitzel on your latest "screenshot". Not that I really give a flip about what you wager on games but I do a lot of photoshopping nowadays and it's just easy for me to catch flaws such as yours.

And before any of you knuckleheads start berating me on this, go ahead and print out his document and review the following entries:

Compare Line 8 with Line 7, most notably the 5's and 0's. You'll notice that his 22K wager is out of proportion in comparison to the others. He either used the wrong font or did not downscale the text well enough to "match" the others. You'll find the same results with Line 4 as well on his 5K wager. Look closely at the bottoms of the 0's. You'll see that the bottom of the 0 of the real wager is flat and doesn't round off....but if you look at the bottom of the 0 of the suspect wager, you can see that it curves in a U shape. No font size should ever be different in these fields.

I thought it was funny that he prematurely went into defense mode when he posted his "screeny". Nice try Scott.

never mind..I see that it changes every time you sign in...

Don't you worry about Scott.
When daddy gives him his allowance for next week, he can go and buy another Monopoly set and replace the bankroll that he lost to little Sally across the street last night...:mj07:

Some of you people are real LOSERS! I did not have to post my screen shot. I did it because I did not want to come across shady. I siad a million times. If MADJACK HIMSELF wants my bet slip # and he can call and verify with Pinnacle. Everything I say and do is legit. Have someone else take screen shot of Pinny and it will look exactly the same. FAWK YOU DOUBTERS!

Lastly,

I SAID IN MY ORIGINAL THREAD that I was not hedging for the game but "if USC was down 7 at half, and I was having doubts, I would hedge on Texas 2h. I said I was bringing my cell and 2h hedge was option." Well USC was down 6 (not 7) and Texas was +6.5. Easy/safe hedge. Why is it so fawking hard to believe I hedged? Then on top of it, I post screen shot proving it? FAWK YOU GUYS!

I am one of the few posters here that isn't afraid to be held accountable. I tell you exactly what is and isn't a big bet for me. I tell you exactly how much I wager. I only talk about my "posted" winnings/losings. I often try and post analysis explaining "WHY" I like this wager. Then I even post screen shots to prove my wagers are real deal. I even will give MJ himself my betting slip # to prove it. He has pinny as sponsor which would be easy too do. he asked for betting slip # for the bowl contest.

I do know one thing. Very few here at MJ's have won more $$$ than me. I am one of the few who actually tells you how much i wager and I have profited greatly. Most importantly, everything I do is DOCUMENTED and can be TRACKED! No BS from me.

So, in your first post you just said you "Surprisingly didn't feel bad about the loss"....but didn't feel it was really important enough to mention that the reason you didn't feel all that bad was because you made a $20,000 halftime hedge bet to soften the blow? That little detail wasn't important enough to mention in the first post? Only later do you say you got out of your losses? What gives? I would think saving $20,000 would be something that would be fairly "top of the mind"....

I don't know man...something stinks....

THIS THREAD WAS ABOUT ME CONGRATULATING TEXAS ON WINNING THE BCS NC. That is it. Nothing about me and my wager. I have my own thread about that. IN THIS THREAD I WAS ASKED ABOUT IF I HEDGED OR NOT! Read the thread again. I answered the question. When I am asked a question, I answer it. Read the thread again.

Only thing that stinks is you doubting my integrity.

 

[thom24ad]

Don't sweat it Scott!...can't let them get to you

 

[AU2001]

I believe you Scott, and I'm glad to see you hedged. I had Texas ml and glad it hit, but that game would have been worth the loss. Maybe the greatest game ever. I was blown away by my boy Vince Young, and Lendale White really was impressive.

I remember sometime last year you asked who I would rather have Bush/White or R. Brown/Cadillac. Look at what both AU backs have done in NFL, and this season with both backs at USC. In my opinion, those may be the two most talented RB duos in college football history! I still like my Aubs, but I could see an argument for the diversity of the other two.

What a game. Great way to end the season.

Every player in that game that can go pro, needs to, because everything else in college will be a let down after that classic!!!

 

[AU2001]

Oh by the way, what did you think about Leinart saying that they were the better football team after the game?

 

[Felonious Monk]

"I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to! I have people skills. I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!"

Sounds like you're breaking Scott. The screenshot was clearly tampered with, that's all I'm saying. Hey, you posted it, not me, so get mad at yourself.

You'd probably be better getting Jack to back you on this. I find it hard to believe that any USC backer laying 7+ points wouldn't jump all over them in the 2nd half giving 6.5 when only down 6. I don't believe your logic in taking Texas and cannot rationalize making a 22K play on top of that. And the comment about being the few here to win as much money as you is nothing less than a personality disorder. You're craving attention.

fake screenshot.
real screeenshot.

who cares.

texas #1..that's all that matters.

congrats on a another great season by your Trojans, Scott.

 

[CWood97]

Nice job hedging Scott, and classy move congratulating Texas fans.

That said, you (and USC) were extremely lucky this year. There was no value in betting USC at +180 in the preseason, and you were a 4th and 9 at ND from losing every penny. Continually betting big chalk futures is going to get you in trouble eventually, and clean out that profit you are so proud of.

[Mr Hockey]

Once again I find it so pathetic how people obsess over what people did or didn't bet.

WTF does it matter? I swear some people in general need a life. If it isn't doing any harm to your pockets what does it really matter?

 

[Scott4USC]

AU2001

Classy post and I forgot about that little debate we had. I think the difference between the 2 AU RB's and 2 USC RB's is USC offense. AU didn't have same QB, same WR's, FB, TE, and OL that USC has. That helps make Bush and White special. You honestly never know when each will carry the ball. USC O is unpredictable. AU offense was little more predictable because running the ball is their identity and SEC style. Makes it tougher on AU RB's. D's know its coming and most still couldn't stop them. Maybe makes them more impressive.

All in all, what makes Bush and White so great is they compliment each other. 2 different styles with great success. Texas had small FAST D. Hurts Bush but allows White to flat out dominate. ND had slow but BIG D and RAINFOREST. White struggled and Bush dominated. Never been a D that stopped BOTH Bush and White. BTW, I did not think Texas D was that fast. I knew they were fast, but not that fast.

Oh by the way, what did you think about Leinart saying that they were the better football team after the game?

Texas was the better team because they won. But I agree with Leinart when he said he felt USC lost the game. USC did lose the game for themselves. It happens. Thats football. Leinart was asked these questions and he simply answered it honestly. He did not come out and say it. He was asked it. OU made stupid mistakes too against USC and USC flat out destroyed them. USC made stupid mistakes against Texas and USC still had 11pt 4th quarter lead. That clearly shows how special USC is/was and how great Texas was to beat USC.

Nice job hedging Scott, and classy move congratulating Texas fans.

WAIT A SECOND! USC was decimated with injuries on defense. DECIMATED. That is UNLUCKY! That just showed how great USC was to overcome this. Imagine if USC had relatively healthy season. :scared

Don't forget USC lost their #1 DB to suspension (Wright) and #1 DT to grades (Wright). Both were counted on being back.

Just shows how great of a coach Pete Carroll is.

Even against Texas USC was still without 3 key starters on D. LB, DB, and nickleback. (Sartz, Thomas, and Ellison) How many starters on D was Texas without last night? USC was missing 3. But USC was healthiest they were all season on D against Texas. Thats all I could ask for.

Think USC will ever three peat now ?

NO! 2-peat yes but not 3-peat.

 

[Felonious Monk]

Here come the influx of excuses. I guess the lovefest for Scott at the top of this thread can rest now. Things will never change.

Here's an excuse Scotty. Texas played the ENTIRE year without it's best DE (Mike Williams) and WR (Jordan Shipley). Wow, imagine how shitty that makes your team look with all of those All-World players at every position.

I bet if Carroll whipped it out in front of you, you wouldn't hesitate.

 

[Mr Hockey]

I bet you wouldn't hesitate to play in photoshop some more either.

 

[Dice34]

I disagree Scott, if any team, made more mistakes it was Texas, USC gave it their best shot and came up short, Leinart was put in a tough situation by answering that type of question, immediately following a devastating loss..........Either that or hes feeling guilty for not giving 100%..........Texas made as much if not more mistakes than USC, so throw that excuse out the window.....When big plays were needed, Texas answered and came up with more
