YTD: 2-3
Yesterday: 2-2
I would like to take a minute to offer a sincere apology to everyone here at predictem. I seriously ****ed up yesterday, guys. Here is what I posted yesterday on the URI/Richmond game:
URI -3.5 @ Richmond -- URI is playing for a first round bye in this game. Richmond has played better of late....beating St. Joe at home and losing by only 10 @ SLU in their last 2 games. URI has lost two in a row but has played very well on the road in the A10...losing @ UMass, Xavier, and SLU (three of toughest venues in the A10) but winning @ St. Joe's (not easy), @ Fordham, @ Temple and @ Duquesne when they were hot. Richmond isn't even going to make the A10 tourney this year. I think URI wins by DDs in this one.
Well, this was just flat-out wrong. Sloppy, sloppy capping and research on my part. With Bonaventure losing yesterday to Charlotte and with a Richmond win, Richmond did, in fact, make the A10 tourney. I didn't research enough to realize this. Second, URI's first round bye was locked up yesterday. So, in essence, URI was playing for nothing and Richmond was playing at home for a ticket to the A10. That was an enormous factor in yesterday's game.
I realize people check out my threads because I focus on the A10. Yesterday, I let everyone down with some shoddy research. For everyone who tailed me yesterday, I sincerely apologize. Trust me, I'm furious with myself not only for losing money, but for ******* it up for anyone who may have tailed me.
I can assure you...it won't happen again. I could have probably let this go and nobody would have noticed...but I deserve to be called out. IMHO, when I post here, I may not get the pick correct, but I have an obligation to myself and everyone here to at least give accurate information....I failed miserably yesterday.
Again, I apologize.
