No apologies neccesary. I had 6 other teams let me down yesterday too...no big deal. I know what your saying about it being hard to take. I was a sox, pats, bruins, celts fan growing up in 80 and 90....Sox, pats, bruins went pretty much dry those years to. Only saving grace i had was the celtics championships in 80's.

Ya loosing sucks. All of Cleveland's teams have not won a championship since 1964, 51 years.

Maybe if the Brown's started cheating, they would have a chance?

Well the cavs were close this year right? Maybe the king can get ya one next season. That would be a great story if he could considering what all took place with him leaving for miami and now back home in clevland.

They tied that and screwed that up too. GM Farmer is suspended first 4 games for sending texts to sidelines during games.

Seems like there's a fair amount of football fandom in this here forum. Pretty much mirrors office chatter I hear this morning and although I'm not a fan of the game in general I do get the attraction as I'm partial to baseball and/or golf. Anyway, watching sports these days one cannot help but see all the ads for the fantasy sports betting. I've often wondered about their legitimacy and was curious how often the "regular guys" they depict in their ads actually won money.

I came across this interesting article this morning...if you have the time it's a decent read.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...ntasy-football

Two things that really struck me from reading that article:
(1) How much the practice of fantasy sports betting resembles stock trading in that the big guys with their algorithms and high speed computers are at an advantage over the "retail" players/traders.
(2) One of the most successful "sharks", Saahil Sud, is someone who has developed his own proprietary program to successfully glean public information of hundreds of different players/teams to help increase his probability of success

"The first step is scraping data from various public resources online and plugging the numbers into his custom-built predictive models, which generate hundreds of lineups based on his forecasts. There are publicly available tools that do some of this work for daily fantasy players, but Sud created bespoke software to make sure no one else can access his data."

Does his "I've built my own proprietary program" process sound familiar to anyone? Yeah, me too....not naming names but the only difference is his program actually seems to work AND as a result, he's not selling "shares" of that program to anyone. Rather, now that he has the keys to the kingdom, he's keeping it to himself as anyone with a real working system would do.

Ya close and should have won it all and probably would have if that cheatin POS Kelly Olynyn hadn't ripped Kevin Loves arm of its socket. He should get quite a welcome when Cleve. & Boston play here. He only received a 1 game suspension, should have been at least 20 games. But it's Boston so it's ok there. Nothing personal but just saying

Thats all i saw yesterday between games....hell even saw a infomercial hosted by the tiki barber and his brother. I do not do fantasy leagues. They prob are fun and many i know are in them. The one tikki barber was promoting was called "King something? King of trades maybe? Anyway they had former winners on who had actually won a million dollars. I think you are correct....i think its a big money $ racket for someone.

Not taking it personal...i dont really watch a lot of basketball so you just caught me up to speed on that incident. I had no idea.

The "not naming names" guy sent out several emails over the weekend begging for donations. He's gone as far as blaming all his "investors" for his website and debt woes. It's all their fault, not his. As usual, no one can offer him any advice or recommendations. Either give him more or STFU. Amazing!

Too funny! Oh well, maybe one day they will put a good team together and win some games. Maybe Johnny will wake up and stop smoking pot, drinking, womanizing and focus on his God given talent, FOOOOOTBALL!!!
