Good Luck, Middlers!

[reno]

For those of you who are middling baskets now, good luck. From my perspective, the two-way movement is so treacherous, and the numbers are so tight, that middling is no longer an endeavor worthy of my time. Saturday will be my last day middling. However, I will continue betting until February, when I head off to the Philippines to ride the waves in La Union and the high class babes in Manila.

Railbird, the Philippines is an impoverished, backward 3rd-world world country. As a result, poor nutrition led to demented thinking, which, in turn,
led to the Little League cheating incident.

I've often talked about how confession is good for the soul, so it's probably best that I now come clean. The truth of the matter is that I'm not really going to the Philippines to ride waves and women. No, I am going on a mission, and that mission is to turn the Philippines on to the greatest food on Earth--wheagrass juice. When one considers that wheatgrass juice is an unparalleled concentrated source of chlorophyll, minerals, and enzymes, well, the spirit rejoices when one imagines how this true super food, alone, can end the malnutrition that permeates the country.

I'll be honest, I had originally planned on turning the hinterlands of the Philippines on to modern sexual fetishistic devices, such as vibrating electical dildos and plastic inflatable, "doable" facsimiles of female porn stars, but then I had an epiphany. A brilliant white light--its appearance probably induced by the glass of whatgrass juice that I had just guzzled--flashed in front of my eyes, and within the fleeting light I caught a glimpse of none other than Johnny Appleseed himself. And then, in a timeless moment, my destiny instantly became clear: I was the chosen One. What Johnny Appleseed had done for apples in America, I was destined to do for whatgrass juice in the Philippines.

With the blesings of Father Guido and Brother Reality at hand, I am certain that my journey to the Philippines will prove to be fruitful (or, shall I say, grassful).
And when I return from my Divinely ordained mission, I promise to provide my loyal brethren in Bettorsworld with a detailed account of this pilgrim's progress.

BROTHER RENO,

THEY WOULD BE MUCH BETTER SERVED IF YOU TAUGHT THEM THE VALUE OF LASAGNA.

THEIR THIN,FRAIL, BODIES WOULD FILL OUT IN NO TIME.

THE SIDE BENEFIT FOR YOU WOULD BE THOSE CUTE BUT FRAIL BABES WOULD GROW TITS AND ASS SO FAST IT WOULD MAKE YOUR HEAD SPIN.

WHEN THE WORD GOT OUT ABOUT RENO'S HOUSE OF PASTA YOU WOULD HAVE MORE CLIENTS THAN A PLASTIC SURGEON ON FIFTH AVENUE!

HOWEVER, WE ALL MARCH TO THE BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUMMER SO IF IT'S GOTTA BE WHEATGRASS,GODSPEED MY SON...

BROTHER REALITY

Reno,You are right. Middling is harder than ever this year with the two-way movement. Good luck on your venture. All of us in the states will try to spread the word of the power of wheatgrass juice. Once word gets around, Railbird will be so popular he will be able to run for president in 2004.

Reno,

I'm amazed that anybody can middle these games anymore. Have a nice Vacation! I sure did!

[reno]

DoggieStyle, I actually had a real good day today, middling the Akron and Alabama games and siding So. Ill. However, the line movement is so treacherous that I'm afraid to load up on games that can instantly go the other way. Also, the big 2 to 3 point middles that were readily available in November are now only 1.5 point middles, and that is barely worthwhile.

[Railbird]

Reno,

Cant you do overnights like baseball and anticipate it?

[randyrohm]

Reno, The total on the Ark/UNLV bowl game and the total of the Celts/Knicks game were also clean middles. Have fun on your vacation and if the middles fall I may take a trip to PI myself.

[reno]

Railbird, I'm sure that it is possible to anticipate the college move and take overnight leads. But, because I neither handicap nor follow the colleges, I'm unqualified to do it.

Randyrohm, the NBA totals are now very tough to middle unless you've got some slow privates or oblivous joints in cyberspace. The numbers tend to move in sync in slow increments rather than in big jumps. Because that is the case, I haven't been paying lot of attention to them.

[guidoS]

thank you brother reno for the promotion to Father Guido!!! Actually my wife has been treating me like a cleric for some many months now...maybe i should take over your previous mission! Father GuidoS

ps. brother reno, your sarcasm is hysterical and not considered a confessable transgression in the Church of Honest Betting Etiquette!

[reno]

GuidoS, there used to be a Father Guido in Bettorsworld, but he left us when the Pope sent him on a holey pilgrimage to the Philippines to practice the missionary position. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if I meet some Guido Jrs. over there.
