Saturday Sept. 24 College Picks

Well ol' Skippy finally picked a game right last week. Even a blind chipmunk sniffs his ass sometimes. Pretty sure that's how the saying goes. Anyway, Skip's huge lock of the week (picking the #1 team in the country - way to go out on a limb Skip) ended up winning by only a TD and FSU had the chance to tie it at the end.

Well, don't get used to that, because Skip sucks ass and even when he picks the best team in the country he barely eeks out a win. 

Since he doesn't tweet much anymore, I've taken to taping his First and 10 show on Saturday mornings on ESPNU. This Tivo thing that I have might be useful after all. There's a goldmine of picks on this show that I never even knew existed. He gives exact scores, making it easier to make these picks. Plus I can fast forward through his jibberish. On to the picks for today...and there are lots of them. The scores in bold are Skip's predictions. 

LSU - 35 WVU - 14

$25 on WVU +7 pays $21.74. BTW I hate this pick but I'm sticking to my guns. Don't fail me now Skip you dumb bastard.

Alabama - 24 Arkansas - 17

$25 on Alabama -11 pays out $22.73.

Texas A&M - 38 Oklahoma St - 35 

$25 on Texas A&M -4 pays out $23.81.

Oklahoma - 31 Missouri - 17

$25 on Oklahoma -20 pays out $23.81.

South Carolina - 16 Vanderbilt - 13

$25 on South Carolina -15 1/2 pays out $22.73

Florida State - 20 Clemson - 14

$25 on Clemson -2 1/2 pays out $22.73.

Nebraska - 45 Wyoming - 17

$25 on Wyoming +21 pays out $22.73.

Michigan - 38 San Diego State - 35

$25 on Michigan -10 1/2 pays out $21.74.

Notre Dame - 27 Pittsburgh - 17

$25 on Pittsburgh +7 1/2 pays out $22.73.


Uuuuggghhh. I hate these picks. Not feeling very good about the system today but we'll see what happens. Happy football Saturday.

Book It!

When Skip says Book it!, that's basically a surefire way to make some money. Because he sucks so bad, you see. Anyway, the first book it of the season is here.

There it is. $50 on Florida State +3 1/2 pays out $45.45.

Seriously, this dude gets paid to talk about sports??

How is that even possible? I mean everyone has off an off day once in a while, but this clown is ridiculous. As you can see from my bets and earlier post, Skip picked every game wrong. Not just a few, EVERY single NFL game he picked, he got wrong.

This proves the authenticity of the system. Now realistically he's not going to get every single game wrong this year (although if anyone could do it, I think he could), but we're off to a great start so far.

Sunday's games put me at 4-0 on the season, winning just a little under $200 in only Week 1 of the NFL season. I have a feeling it's going to be a very profitable gambling season.

I could use a favor from anyone reading though...if you see any Skip predictions on the web or on TV, please send them to me at rickmybars@gmail.com.

Also, if you have excellent Flash skills and can make Skip's head morph into a dildo, I would REALLY appreciate it.  Thanks.

NFL Week 1 Picks

So Skip was wrong as always on Thursday, starting the season off on a positive note. It really is amazing how awful he is at everything in life. I'm sure he picked a million college games wrong yesterday but I was too drunk to wake up early enough to watch his horrible show.

Luckily, he picked a few NFL games on Friday so here we go.

This works for me because fuck the Steelers.  $50 on Ravens -1 pays out $45.45.

Awesome. Normally I don't like betting on my Eagles but now I have to. $50 on Birds -4 1/2 pays out $47.62.  And the Cowboys are pieces of shit so $50 on the Jets -6 pays out $47.62 also.

Yay football season.

Football Season Is Back!!! Skip Bayless Still Sucks!!!

*erection*

And that means more money to be made by the awfulness of Skip Bayless. Yes, I say every few months that I'll keep this site up to date but the only thing worse than Skip's predictions is my laziness.  Merril Hoge comes close. And the Redskins. And really small dogs. But Skip is the worst of all.

But, I do love money, and I do love football, so let's do this again. Made a pretty nice profit last year, I'm sure this year will be just as good. It's mother fuckin science.  Just a reminder, I'm using Bodog to place bets, so whatever their lines are is what I have to roll with. Too much time and effort to troll all the gambling sites for the best odds, and as I said before, I'm lazy as shit.

First game of the year, Packers against Saints.

This sucks donkey balls because I think the Saints win tonight too, and if I bet with my gut I'd put money on the Saints +5.  BUT...that's the amazing thing about the Reverse Bayless Gambling System, it DEFIES ALL ODDS. So...$50 on GB -5 pays out $45.45.  

Time to crack open a PBR, put my hands down my pants, and watch some sports ball.

Happy football season bitches!!

Another Big Loser!!

I wasn't around to make bets yesterday but this was a great one...

In case you don't know, Chicago dominated, 103-82.

3-0 on the year

With Dallas taking out Portland in the first round, I'm still perfect since starting this up again. Thanks for the $100 Skip.

Another NBA Winner

I'm late in posting this but I made this bet from the bar on my phone last Friday.

$50 on Boston +3 (?? I'm not sure why either) paid out $45.45.

Also looks like the Mavs might end up pulling this series out.

The System is Perfect

It was a little too close for comfort, but my first pick of the year was a winner. It just goes to show you that Skip's inability to pick games trumps any kind of gut instinct you may have.

Only won by 1/2 a point, but a win is a win. $43.48. Let's keep it up douchebag.

More NBA Playoff Picks

Skip has a ridiculous, yet most likely tiny, boner for the NBA playoffs. I also love the NBA playoffs. As much as I don't think the Pacers can win, I'm going to work the system.

$50 on the Pacers +4 1/2 pays out $43.48. Boom.

Happy 420 Day

In remembrance of this lovely holiday, here is a Tweet from Skip today, epitomizing in 140 characters or less, why he is such a douchebag.

So as long as many things happen every single game, the Mavs will win. Genius. Also, he picked the Blazers just a few days ago.

First Bet of 2011: Blazers-Mavs Series

This will be the Reverse Bayless Gambling System's first foray into futures betting, but I'm confident it will still work. And this prediction is prototype Skip. Make a pick but then back it up with an excuse about why you might lose.

Anyway, I hate keeping a money tied up in an NBA playoff series, as they take about 3 months each, but it should be worth it.  Bodog has Dallas at an even -200, which I would normally not bother betting on. But for this, I'll suck it up. $200 on Dallas pays out an easy $100.

Final 2010 Results

EDIT: 9/8/2011 - I'm cleaning the slate and starting fresh for the NFL season 2011. Wasn't sure where to put the three NBA bets I made using the system. I went 3-0 and made 188.93, making my grand total $381.06 on the year. Not bad at all.


So I kinda fell off the radar with this toward the end of the year, so I'm going to start over for 2011. Basically I only bet on football games in 2010, but I have a feeling Skip is just as bad at picking all of the major sports.

Final results are below:

Skip's Record: 8-28
Not good.  

My Record: 24-12
This may not make sense, as you would think it would be exactly opposite of Skip's record (28-8). But even with input from Skip there were 4 games which he picked incorrectly but, because of the large spread, I got wrong. Still a pretty good winning percentage though (78%). 

Breakdown by sport
NFL (8-6) NCAA FB (13-6) NBA (3-0)

Total winnings: $381.06
Not amazing but some of my bigger bets were the few losing ones, giving me nearly $400 on the year. Which I'm sure I dropped on 2 hands of blackjack at some point.

Overall the system worked pretty well, and I plan to make larger wagers in 2011. Here's to a profitable year and Skip sucks ass.

NBA Predictions

Looks like we have some NBA futures action on the way...sweet.

Will update later with picks.

I'M BAAAAACK!!

To be totally honest, I just kind of forgot about this blog for a while until a buddy of mine said something last night. I miss it. I've also probably missed out on $1,000s of dollars of winnings over the last few months.

Now seems to be as good a time as ever to start back up, with the NBA and NHL playoffs starting soon. I will start monitoring Skip's awfulness again, and hopefully share my paydays with you.

Fuck Skip Bayless.

New Years Resolution

Make more fun of Skip Bayless.

I have had a pretty crazy few weeks but now that things are getting back to normal I promise to be more regular with my bets.


Happy New Year.
