    How To Lose Fake Money And Real Credibility, Part 3

    Filed under: HTLFMARC;

    So after pretty much tanking yesterday (thankfully, Sam managed to go one worse, proving I’m not the worst prognosticator on this board), I decided to call in reinforcements to take over today’s fairly light slate. A transcript follows:

     

    GREETINGS, PROFESSOR FALKEN.

    Hello, AccuScore.

    SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?

    Love to. How about Global Thermonuclear War?

    WOULDN’T YOU PREFER A GOOD GAME OF CHESS?

    Later. Let’s compromise on NBA Against The Spread.

    FINE.

    I SEE YOU WERE 3-9 YESTERDAY, PROFESSOR FALKEN. THE ONLY WINNING MOVE FOR YOU IS NOT TO PLAY.

    That’s why I called you, AccuScore.

    (All times Pacific. You want them Eastern, you start your own Web site.)

    Bobcats (0-0) at Cavaliers (0-1), 4:05 p.m.
    Pick: Bobcats +10
    Confidence: High
    I love that AccuScore predicts Larry Brown’s benchwarmers are going to get more time (3.2 minutes) than Sean May (2.7).

    Rockets (1-0) at Mavericks (0-0), 5:05 p.m.
    Pick: Mavericks -4.5
    Confidence: I Repeat, High
    Tracy McGrady really hasn’t gotten injured yet?

    Hornets (1-0) at Suns (1-0), 7:35 p.m.
    Pick: Hornets +3.5
    Confidence: Remains High
    Shaquille? On a back-to-back? You’ve GOT to be joking.

    Yesterday: 3-9
    Season record: 4-11

    – Geoff

    Did I really go 2-10 on a night of NBA games? Are you sure I didn’t black out and pick the NHL slate or something? And, if that’s the case, when did San Antonio get a hockey team?

    anyway, on to tonight:

    Cavaliers -10

    You would think I would learn my lesson with the early season high spreads after last night. But then, you would remember that you know me.

    Rockets +4.5

    Game 1 of the Passion of the Dirk.

    Hornets +3.5

    You said it, man.

    Yesterday/Season: 2-10

    P.S. does this thing support html? I don’t want you to be lording your ability to type in bold over me all season…

    Yes.

    But let’s not forget I always have the “Delete comment” button at my beck and call.

    I’m guessing that Shaq’s still somewhat fresh. Give me the Suns.

    in summary,

    Wargames, I love that movie.

  5. Bob October 30th, 2008 at 5:19 pm

    Cavs, Rockets, Suns.

    OK, 4D…

    looks like there is good money to be made by just taking the opposite side of Geoff’s bets…

  8. Bob October 31st, 2008 at 1:26 am

    How about a nice game of chess?
