    Seriously...Who here is handicapping their way to last place in BTP?

    $1000 up for grabs for last place. If you are out of contention for the Final Standings prize, are you picking against the team you like?

    and what's the strategy? Just "keep on keepin on"? or do you actually try to fade your best bets which have proven to actually be the worst bets of the entire contest? kind of a mindfuk

    Actually Carpe, I go over to Covers and look at their Experts picks.. Then I go with them. It's been quite successful as you can see below.

    My biggest problem is every week I hit my 2x usually. I don't know how you Hamburgers miss yours.

    I have Ohio -2. 2x
    The under 48.5 on that game.
    The over 42pts in Thursday nights NFL game.
    And I'm considering either The Pats or Steelers laying double digits.

    IF you are in contention for last, don't start betting the opposite of what you think, or you will actually start doing well.

    It's good to see how many are gunning for it if you are one of those people. My advice, pick numbers that moved early in the week and grab the bad side.

    OMFG... I thought I was going for (inadvertently) 1000th place... then I just checked the standings. Didn't realize that there were that many non-pros in it!!! I'm in no man's land now. There was a $500 for 500th place right? Hmmm... LOL!

    GL to the leaders!

    wquine 818th 12-28-2 -26.85 units
    no1here 817th 14-31-0 -25.75 units

    I could sure use some help from the ones that I owe here. I do respect your thoughts guys and do have you in my mind daily. If I can manage to win I will try to pass prize money on to one of you or be paid in points instead. Chances are neither is available though. Good luck to me but not a clue as what to do except to lose. But How?

    No1here you are a great guy but I hope you,stiky, and wquine 5-0 weeks from here till the end. No one should have to go dead last. It was fun sweating out games hoping to beat the prick.

    Moved 4 units which is huge! wquine is horrible and scares me greatly. Be glad to change places with you stash, make it happen. As it sits I see restless nights for awhile which sucks. Thanks for the kind words and thoughts SweetSpot. The battle for last is way more competitive then the battle for first with a long way to go. Good Luck stikymess, may you win many!
