For the 8th time, and you've been around to read this same response, 99.9% of NCAA basketball lines don't come out till the day of the game. There's too many games, even for Vegas to do it and it's their full-time job.

I put up events for the Duke game, the 1st Kentucky game and the 1st Vandy game. We lost all 3. I said I would stop putting the jinx on us. Clearly you quit checking if you only remember 1.

I used NFL as a means for determining effort and interest. There was only about 2 people who bothered to place wagers. Hell, there's no interest in even the Basketball game threads until the game is either won or lost and then is pissing and moaning and OWNING and DESTROYING.

Now that we are into Tourney mode, lines will come out a little quicker and I can put them up. If you remember, a lot of my Events for football came out over night because I could work on it late at night. When BBall lines don't come out till the morning of the game, I have a real job (unlike some on here :whistle:) that needs my attention.

Stop bytching and make our wagers.

This thread was one of the things that got me thinking about posting here. As a person who tends to post contrarian views, my views are largely disliked. I never came here to be liked. But at the same time, if I am one of the least popular posters on here, and i walk away angry after posting, what in the hell have I accomplished.

One thing I do like about "liking" is it is a way to acknowledge another's post without having to reply. But overall, it has a facebook feel to it, and i absolutely despise facebook, where some posters really seem to work to gather in the likes.

Don't worry about that. This thread is meant more to pump up new posters. Nobody has more dislikes than Law and he doesn't give two shyts.

90% of my dislikes or probably given to me by Eurogator.

PF mainstays not named Alex tend to not do well in the Likes department. Ask Urg.

I'm probably not going to give a "like" to one of your posts that I strongly disagree with, but despite disagreeing with you often, you are certainly one of my favorite posters.

I know dislikes don't mean anything, I was referring to likes. I think giving dislikes is pretty immature, unless it is an obviously over the line or personal comment, then they serve a purpose (and yes, I've dished out 100 or so dislikes to Law in retaliation :lol: )

I appreciate that and you have always been supportive.

During my absence I'd check back here at least a couple of times a week. I can only recall one or two times where there was a discussion that I really would have liked to have participated in - in the PF.

I would have giving you a dislike but youve been gone a while and Ive giving you new poster treatment for a while.

I still think Im severely underrated in dislikes.

When I saw all of my dislikes I thought about jumping off a bridge (but then I realized how jubilant rex would be). It has so much impact on my life. I can hardly sleep.

I should make it so the dislikes take away a like from your total. THEN we'd see some fur fly! :catfight:
