Hello there! I'm new here and I wish - no no no - I KNOW that I'll help you to improve your handicapping methodology. I hope you'll help me to do the same - however I don't expect it too much as I am considered by many as the best in this field and haven't seen "so great" stuff in here so far, but who knows. That's what I hope and that's why I'm here for. Here's a brief biography:

Learned to gamble while 3 years old. Kindergarten Tic-Tac-Toe Handicapping champion '63 Pro-wrestling Handicapping Primary Champion '64 '65 '67 NASCAR handicapping High School Champion '73 '74 NHL handicapping Provincial Champion '76 NFL handicapping North-America Junior Champion '77 MLB handicapping World Junior Champion '78 Decided to let other people to become Champions '79 on..

Scored 54.8% '73 56.6% '75 59.3% '77 61.8% '79 Class of its own (65.4%) '81 WSHA (World Sports Handicapping Association) seriously contemplated to make me the only "professional handicapper" while the other so-called pros aredemoted to amateur status '86 to '89.

"Solved the game" '91 Playing for Fun '92 to present

BS MIT '83 Masters Oxford '85 PhD Harvard '87 in biochemistry, electrical engineering, mathematics, philosophy, religious studies, music, French, English, Swahili, underwater basketweaving and many others of which I am too modest to mention..

Fischer's second in the Fischer-Spassky match in '92 (chess), the coach of Pedro Martinez in his junior years, the judge in the O.J. Simpson case, the star of the Brazilian soccer team, and the senior advisor of Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich.

Programmer of many chess softwares and hardwares: Deep Blue, Fritz7, and Deep Thinking Fritz7 (coming out next year). It's now programmed to play the variations chess players are most uncomfortable playing and the openings they failed to study for.

Planning to go to Yale Law School, Harvard Medical School, and a Roman Catholic seminary with the $135,001 won for being a 5-time Jeopardy champion. Also recently found Waldo and Carmen San Diego. (They were both hiding in the bushes.)

Originally sang the songs in the record album of Milli Vanilli, knows for a fact who killed O.J.'s wife, the key diplomat that desegregated South Africa, solved the meaning of life mathematically and philosophically, and signed Jesus' yearbook.

Won Nobel Peace Prize, Pulitzer Prize, best man 5 times, nominated 7 times for best director, key grip, most popular, cutest smile, homecoming king, voted best athlete of the twentieth century, and does not have a blinking 12:00 on his VCR.

Regularly play 20+ players blindfold and ear-muffled Hold 'em poker exhibitions while giving an extra hidden card odds, allowed them to trade cards with each others and encouraged them to cheat in any other way.

I lose half of my picks on purpose to hide my identity, to practice the virtue of humility, and because I don't want to crash the Mad Jack's server again by winning too many selections. Besides, losing now and then makes my bookies and some of you SMILE

Just wanted to say... thanks for the warm (and not so warm
smile.gif
) welcomes, special thanks to BahamaMama for changing the mood of this thread... Many many funny replies, especially the first ones
biggrin.gif


Of course the only purpose of this was to make you SMILE, that and also making you realize that you sometimes have to read between the lines, and read 'til the end before judging someone.. remember - your imagination can fool you a lot when reading plain text, you don't see the guy/gal's expression in his/her face, you don't hear the intonation in the voice and you don't see any gesture. Keep that in mind and everything will be fine

Honestly, you're the best bunch of cappers I've ever seen and I'm proud to be part of this team (of course I have another handle).

Once again, thanks for all the welcomes but this will be the 2nd and last post from "SMILE" - WebMaster or whoever, feel free to delete the handle if ever someone else wants to use it... you never know!

Take care all and have a nice day!

Welcome Smile,
First thing to learn is that most of us (with Mama being the exception) do not read beyond the 1st 3 lines: we assume the rest and you already know what assuming does.

Second is that sarcasm, or farcical writings will not be understood. Ask Visionary.

Third and most importantly, if you post winners you gain respect and everyone will love you. Lose and you will live a lonely life.

Welcome,
Bill (the only sane one on the board)
