yankees lock of the year

Grandfather · 05-05-2002, 05:37 PM

THANKS!!!
But only 10 minutes before the start. Wish you would have posted sooner. I was taking a crap and missed it.

Good thing GF![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Look at the score.

FlightInfo · 05-05-2002, 06:50 PM

whenever you need a side to win, just say the opposite side is the lock of the year and you jinx it, and you win with your play it is as simple as that it works everytime. for instance i love the spurs, so the lakers are the lock of the century, there i just jinked the lakers now the spurs will win outrght.

You are telling Noah about the Ark my friend. Thats why I have such a hard time putting values on fights. I just who I think will win. Never word EZ or lock. It's the kiss of death for me too. Good system Flight. - J[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

wait...so you actually liked seattle and misled us?

Minnow · 05-05-2002, 07:16 PM

FlightInfo, Are you the same guy that was trying to feed us this line a week or so ago? You post the opposite of your real locks to jinx the other side?
I have an idea.. post your *jinx jinx owe me a coke knock wood spin 3 times and spit* picks in the promo forum, and spare us. I hear a lot of handicappers post their "opposite" picks in there. You can even charge money for them!

Oddessa · 05-05-2002, 07:19 PM

I can say one thing. If I was postin opposites in the boxing, we would all be broke. And I would be burned at the stake deservingly. So no need to worry here. LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

olddog · 05-05-2002, 07:36 PM

BUT I thought SA was a lock today.

sick gambler · 05-05-2002, 07:48 PM

I have been frequenting these forums now for almost 2 years, and I could say that I have seen someone come in with a lock pick about 48 times, I would estimate. And in those 48 games, I would honestly say that their respective record is about 12-36. I'm not bashing "flight info" or anything here, but I've said this a hundred times, and I'll say it again. ... THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A LOCK... It's one damn game, anything can happen in one given game, anything. Even if you knew beforehand that your team would score 5 runs in the top of the 1st, it still could not be considered a lock, because it's one game, and anything can happen in any given game. Lock usually means a guaranteed win. The only lock IMO would be if you were able to get a copy of tomorrows paper and see the result. And even then, it wouldn't be a lock because the newspaper could have easily made a misprint, which I have seen them do many times in my life. Therefore, even if I had tomorrow's paper with the result, I still would not put the house and everything I own down. So basically, there is NO SUCH THING AS A LOCK, period..

Minnow · 05-05-2002, 08:03 PM

Right.. And I am not trying to alienate FlightInfo either. People are encouraged to post their picks and analysis in the proper forums. But to say the "L" word, and then come back after, when the score is incredibly lop-sided NOT in your favor and to say.. BTW, when I say lock it actually means that I picked the opposite due to posting jinx.. pfffffftt.. Gimme a break.

parlayin · 05-05-2002, 08:12 PM

what kind of capper believes in a posting jinx anyway? if you've capped a game, how the hell is posting your pick going to make it lose? hmm

FlightInfo · 05-05-2002, 08:14 PM

i totally agreee no such thing as a lock ever in anything, except a master or a klog lock. what is amazing is that people, gulliable stupid sucker people fall for that word time and time again can anyone explain that to me. you hear sports services that advertise locks of the year everyday, the can't miss game, yet people call these places and give them money, it is just utterly ridiculous. why do you think i said the yankees are the lock of the year so i could win with my bet the mariners. if i came in here boasting the fact that i knew the yankees were in trouble today i would of lost.

i am sorry if i mislead anyone but i posted today for my own benefit, and i will never ever ever come on here and mislead anyone again i will be staright forward and honest for the rest of my posts, and give you my exact picks even if it does cost me a loss, again i am sorry. i just am superstitious you know what i am talking about you are driving along and someone in the car says what a smooth ride and no traffic next thing you know traffic. to make it up to everyone because i think you are all great people i will give you my strong nba game today with the spurs. i believe the spurs may win this game outright let alone cover the 8 points. the lakers will win the series but it will take 7 games.

if you need any flight info for teams let me know and i will give it to you

Oddessa · 05-05-2002, 08:46 PM

I think no one really took this serious. I mean, who really follows newbies or anyone anyway. No biggie. I mean if he gave an analysis and stuff I could see it. All forgiven.

cashing the ticket · 05-05-2002, 09:52 PM

I agree with Odessa, who is really going to take a poster serious that says the Yankees are a lock with no analysis. If anybody bet big bucks on this posters post it is your own fault.

sick gambler · 05-05-2002, 10:15 PM

Odessa and Cashing

Come on guys, be serious. Do you think we astute posters here at MW are that stupid. I open up this site this morning and see an unknown with 15 posts saying Yankees lock of the year. Yeah sure, we posters here at MW are going to listen to this kid!! He comes in here (no one's ever heard of him) and not only does he say lock of the year, which is silly as it is already, but he doesn't write anything about the game, nothing. He leaves a blank post and not even say why. At least put something there to make it look like you know something. But nothing at all?? Say that they are 12-1 on Sundays against Seattle when it's sunny and they're coming off a loss, or anything, just to sound like you actually know something. He also said NYY. Come on guy, NYY? How creative that was? Every square's favourite team to call a lock on. At least say a spread. He didn't even say a spread like NYY -25 for example. He just says NYY. Had he come in and said TB +90 for example, a big dog, and explained in small detail, maybe, and I say maybe, someone would have taken him seriously. But the big shocker of the thread was definitely Grandfather, when he said that he just missed it. Was Grandfather being sarcastic with the guy and tried to make him feel better, or was he serious. But to answer you guys' question, NO, I don't think anyone took this guy seriously.

FlightInfo · 05-05-2002, 10:25 PM

hey i already said i posted the yanks because i didn't want to jink myself, and i already said i am sorry if i mislead you, to make up i gave you the spurs, you better take me seriously because i win bottom line.

Rookies · 05-05-2002, 10:57 PM

i am sorry if i mislead anyone

Now, why would anybody think otherwise with such an innocent post like : " Lock of the Year ". [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease... Just suck it up when you lose. Don't try & crack back with the jinx ( otherside ) B.S. People don't do that here.

That's why BTJ can't post here ( errr...among other reasons )

Oddessa · 05-05-2002, 11:15 PM

Hey wait.... Flight info was that kid that caught that miracle non-but still counting Home Run that got the Yanks there a few years ago. He thought lightning could strike twice. But he got caught w/ a beer outside the park and couldn't do it again. Drinkin age is 21 in NY right? I say we cut him some slack. Only Grandfather knew his true identity. Jusrt tell us when your gonna do it again buddy. "N.Y., N.Y." LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
