Shirking My Duties

Travel has prevented me from making picks for two weeks straight, so I apologize to the seven people who read this. I'll also be out of town this weekend but vow to somehow make it to a computer to pick some games.

He's spent most of this week grading movies, taking about nonsense and his love of Bust A Move, so not much to go on right now. Come on Skip, give me some college basketball picks or something.

Big Fat Loser

With the Falcons win Thursday night, Skip is on quite the NFL losing streak. At least four, and probably more but my short term memory is officially shot.

It's also cute to see Skip venturing into other sports that he has no clue about.

Final score....

Obviously. Amazing how he can pick any topic and be wrong about it. Keep it up, big guy.

Balls to the Wall

So Skip made a bunch of as-vague-as-you-can-get predictions today, not actually picking anyone outright but just giving his thoughts. Well his awful thoughts and passive aggressive opinions are good enough for me. I'm going for it.

First off...my Birds. Now I am a really big gambler. Like I play with an amount that would make most people sick. And ruin lives if I were married and sharing a bank account. But I never, EVER, bet on my own team. Just seems like bad karma. However...

I've also had five Tanqueray and tonics this afternoon but that's neither here nor there.

WAIT...the Eagles are favored by 3. That makes no fucking sense at all. I love them more than I love babies (not hard) but I don't see why that would be. Regardless, in honor of the system I will go against all of my rules (never betting on my team is my only rule), I'm going to go all out.

$50 on Eagles -3 pays out $52.50. tHIS IS THE LEAST HAPPY i'VE (accidental caps lock but I'll keep it to show the shape I'm in right now) ever been on a bet, but I want to prove my system. Plus, I'll be at the game. One more reason to scream my brains out at that douche Peyton.

Speaking of...who has a boy and is like "Let's name him Peyton, and spell it the girl way"?  I'M ALSO LOOKING AT YOU AUBREY HUFF. But enough with the dudes with girl names.

I'm rooting for the Lions this year too. They deserve it. But seriously, fuck Skip Bayless. $50 on the Jets -4 pays out $47.62.

OK, in hindsight, "a bunch" does not constitute two predictions, but I felt like it was more earlier on today. Hopefully he'll make some college picks tomorrow. Have a nice night people.

Still Going Strong(ish)

Not a horrible weekend but not great one either. I said the Auburn-LSU game would be tight and I was right, won by one point. Skip lost by one. That's the way it's supposed to happen.

He picked the Missouri upset, but he picks against Oklahoma every week. Eventually he was going to be right. Last weekend was that one time. Dick.

Sneaky Skip pretended he was picking three upsets in the NFL when in actuality he picked 3 favorites to win. Which fucks with the system big time.  Luckily he's that bad and I went 2-1.

I lost Minny-GB by one point and I will never bet on anything Favre-related again. Although this weekend he'll most likely be jerking off at home in his Crocs and not playing, so MIN is still on the radar for now.

I won the Giants game because...ha ha Cowboys. It's an amazing feeling watching them fall apart at the seams.

Also won NE because Tom Brady's power comes from his Bieber hair.

All in all I went 3-2. Only made like 11.96 though, which is weak ASS weak. Still a winning record, which just solidifies the shittiness of Skip Bayless. Here's to a better weekend coming up.

The Reverse Bayless Gambling System

The fact that an awful human being, wrong about everything in sports, can make a very nice living talking about sports, is one of the reasons America is so great. Conversely, this also subjects the American viewing public to the horrible predictions and general douchebaggery of one Mr. Skip Bayless.

As a self-loathing follower of his Twitter feed, it has recently begun to sink in just how bad this so-called “expert” is at predicting scores. So, combining my entrepreneurial spirit with my serious gambling addiction, I’ve come up with a can’t-miss system to make money. And I will share my knowledge with you. It just seems fair that something good should out of this man’s ability to be so wrong, so often. And that something good will be cold hard cash in my pocket.

In the following weeks and months I will post Mr. Bayless’s predictions, then bet on the exact opposite result. These will come mostly from his Twitter feed, but if there is something that I’ve missed, maybe something he said on TV, feel free to send it to me at rickmybars@gmail.com. 

Thanks for reading and I hope you will join me on my road to financial freedom.
