LOCK THREAD CONCEPT -
This thread has been created for all of us to share our expertise with everyone else to benefit the group.
THIS IS NOT A PICKING CONTEST!
PLEASE make special note of this!!! If you have an area of expertise - Pac-10, NBA, Soccer, MLB, Big East, NHL, etc. - please make some LOCK choices from your area of expertise when you have a game you are confident enough in to call it a "LOCK". The difference between a PICK and a LOCK is that a PICK is a game you like, a LOCK is a game that you KNOW. We are here to help each other win. If you are claiming your choice is a LOCK, and you really have NO true knowledge of that game, then you are just cheating us and posting your PICK just for attention and to see your name on the board.
We take it upon ourselves to donate our time and track everybody's LOCK every day, as long as you agree to do your part by doing a few simple things. We will not track your LOCKs if you do not follow these rules. You are welcome to still post your PICK or card, but unless you do the things below, we won't be putting your LOCK on the spreadsheet.
- Post only 1 LOCK per day. You may post a MAXIMUM of 4 LOCKS per week. A week starts on Monday, and ends on Sunday. Choose NCAA, NBA, NFL, or NHL. You do not have to stay in one sport. Spread them around if you like.
- No "buying" points for LOCKS.
- We want the LOCKS posted early enough so we can all benefit . If the LOCK is not posted within 30 minutes of the scheduled CBS start time the LOCK will not count.
- No other "line-manipulations: like teasers, etc
- 1st Q, 1st half or mini lines are OK. No second half or quarter lines. Time constraints make second half lines too tough to track.
- No parlays. Period.
- Props are OK as long as you give a site where we can check the line.
- Hockey, baseball, and soccer plays need to be -129 or better. No HUGE favorites for LOCKS. Anything -130 and over, take the -1.5 goals or runs if you feel like it is still a LOCK.
- Do not try to cheat on lines. We, as a group, are all over the lines and every time someone gives a stinky spread, it is always called out. If the line is off, the LOCK doesn't go into the spreadsheet.
- LOCKs MUST be posted 30 minutes before the time CBS says the game is set to go off, anything less than 30 minutes the LOCK will not count.
You must give an original explanation as to why you KNOW this LOCK will win. And don't just "stat" us to death. Tell us about the game. And if you are going to try and fool us by cutting and pasting from another website, at least figure out how to remove all the HTML and other garbage. People on this thread are all over the internet and will find your plagiarism. I guarantee it. You can use Last 10, ATS, etc., numbers to support your argument, but stats from a gambling website are not an explanation. They are stats that any of us can get anywhere on the internet. Also, how about if you have actually SEEN the team play that you pick. I'd say that if you haven't seen a team play at least a few times, you can't really be an expert on the said team.
FOLLOW THESE RULES AND YOUR LOCK WILL GET TRACKED
Thank you for your understanding and your help in keeping this thread for the benefit of everybody, not just a place for you to blather out random picks and toot your own horn.
Good luck today and let's work together to win some cash!
QUIETLY spitting out winners, thanks dude!!
Ok so this is play of the week ! Chris Paul is back and this side of the amazing LBJ he is the true defintion of an MVP while the Heat would be a .500 team without LBJ the Clippers would barely win 30 games without Chris Paul . Chris Paul is the general he takes his personality and molds this clip joint team to win and play hard while he was out the Clippers struggled and were down right awful on the road . Chris Paul is healthy now . This is a home game even though in the book its labeled as a Lakers home game .
Kinda ridiculous the Clippers and Lakers get extra home games when they play each other it favored the Lakers for years however now it favors Billy Crystal and Lob City.
OK Lakers are not a good team with no chemistry with injured old players . Dont be fooled by the name and the jersey and Jack Nicholson LAKERS ARE NOT GOOD . Clippers run this Lakers team out of Staples tonight and close out the first half on a high note .
When Vinny Del Negro was asked what is your offensive sets you run his answer was " whatever Chris Paul wants to run " . Clippers take this game personal and are back in full force with there domination of the Harden less Rockets team last night. Sure they won by ten only ( back door cover ) however Clips dominated and rested 2nd half .
CLIPPERS 107 ( -3 )
LAKERS 90
<----- money mouth
Anyway I live I Fort Lauderdale. Go. UMOh yeah my bad and LBJSOBE lives in downtown Miami in a condo overlooking the ocean. A perfect pad for you to bring those imaginary girls from Florida State back to after a night of partying in South Beach. You are a Miami grad who used to visit his grandparents in St Louis but now the story has changed to you grew up there. LBJSOBE is a Florida grad who hates the U. This is really a neat little thing you have going on its just hard to keep track of all the lies. Tennis anybody???
