NCAA picks: Me: 3-1, Skip: Still Douchey

This weekend is an example of why gambling is so retarded. Amazing and fun and addicting, but retarded. Skip was actually right about the PSU-OSU game, and was only off by 10 points. Which for him is pretty much unheard of. But I still won my bet because I used his scores to do the O/U instead of a winner.

The point is that there are several ways to use the stupidity of Skip Bayless to your advantage. He will, VERY RARELY, call a game correctly. In those instances when you get that gut feeling that he just might luck out, go with the O/U and not a winning team. My scientific calculations predict your success rate at 216%. He will never get both of these right. Unless he does, but that has happened maybe once this year*.

As creepy, eagle-eyed commenter ajseagles pointed out, I went with Clemson yesterday by mistake. True. Skip picked Florida St. by one and the spread was six. My bad. To stay true to the system I should have went with the Moneyline. But I won anyway so Skip and ajseagles can eat it. As long as you get it in your mind to go against what Skip Bayless says, good things happen. Run tell dat homeboy.

Yes, he technically got one other game right. He picked Alabama at 13-10. The final score was 30-10. I could give a piece of paper to a dead monkey and he would get closer than this once in a while. (I would never kill my monkey). Also, there is nothing good about anything regarding Mississippi, except that it is fun to say.

212 yards is good sometimes.

Now for a little bragging. I believe my prediction was "South Carolina +7 over Florida. Marcus Lattimore is gonna run  all over them. $25 pays out $21.74." As you can see from the graphic to the right, I AM GOD AND YOU SHOULD ALL BOW DOWN TO ME.

Overall I went 3-1 and won over $40 on a day when Skip picked absolutely no upsets. That's how well the system works. And that's how drunk I still am this morning.

NFL picks coming soon.
