Oh to be the Chuck

The Chuck had only play last night, which he won handily as Seton Hall annihilated Depaul. With his 500 unit win the Chuck's total now stands at 4,440 units. I was tempted to play a couple more games but used my better judgment. For the record, I would have went 1-1, thereby saving me 50 units on the vig. I have made a commitment to only play the strongest games on the board. Although, I will use my sources from time to time when they call me extolling the virtues of a play. The mascot indicator was spot on last night as the Blue Demons were manhandled by the mighty Pirates.

I think I might have found something in this prevailing trend of betting against any team with a blue underworld figure, be it a devil or a demon. Keeping with this current theme, the Chuck has a monster play tonight as UNC visits Duke. The books are still over valuing this fraud of a team known as the Duke Blue Devils. Currently the line is set at UNC laying 1 1/2 points on the road. Why? Has anyone seen this team perform of late? They are miserable. They are slow, unathletic and they cannot score. The only thing they have is Coach K, who I despise, but grudgingly admit to his greatness. Asides from good coaching, they are a middle tier ACC squad.

There are numerous reasons why I cannot condone a play on the Duke side. First and foremost are the Cameron geeks that infiltrate that god awful arena. Who are these people? I'll tell you who they are. They are kids who got the shit beaten out of them in high school because they were socially inept and now they are all amassed in one site screaming gay chants, thinking they are witty when in reality they are the epitome of gayness. They are that kid who played dungeons and dragons and traded those goofy wizard cards. So after years of torment, they attend a school who happens to excel in basketball. For some inexplicable reason, they feel compelled to act in the most egregiously annoying manner, screaming for attention. How pathetic. Listen, I have nothing against them as individuals but when they feign interest in basketball it bothers me. Take a close look at these people tonight and tell me with a straight face they have any inkling what a zone defense is or what weak side help is. Don't get me wrong, they know the finer points of Keynesian economics, advanced molecular theory, and the finer intricacies of the works of Immanuel Kant. I applaud them. However, you do not see me attending a seminar in nuclear physics acting like a general jackass. The reason being is I do not want to embarrass myself or those around me by acting in such a manner. Evidently, these "dookies" could care less. Also, what is up with the synchronized chants? Are you in London watching a soccer match? Soccer annoys me but nothing like these bumble fucks from Cameron. Nothing will bring me greater pleasure when I will see a Duke co-ed who knows nothing about basketball shedding tears because her beloved Blue Devils are getting absolutely bootstomped. Yes, dookies cry at these events. I have witnessed it many times. Are you freaking serious?

Aside from my above mentioned annoyance with the Duke fans, Duke will lose because they are an inferior team. They barely beat a mediocre Miami squad at home, how the hell are they going to handle the pressure and pace that UNC plays at? It won't matter that Duke gets all the calls because this game will not be close. Look for UNC to win this one going away. I don't know what a Tarheel is but it sure is better than that asinine Blue Devil. Don't even get me started on Dick Vitale, that pitiful clown. As if all the aforementioned reasons weren't enough to compel you to play UNC, just know that the Chuck is on UNC and that should be good enough for you. I will take UNC for 1,000 units. Go Heels.
