if you think it is that big of a long shot, then why only 20-1?

You want to negotiate? The fair line would be higher, I think, but I went with whatever I thought would get action.

If you post up the points, I'll offer you 30/1.

[Bigmikesm]

Too hard to pick 30 game hit streak. I'm out.

i doubt anyone will hit it either...was just saying since it is such a long shot, shouldn't it be something like 100-1+

[BettingWizard]

It's the same odds as a real baseball player hitting 56 in a row. It's free, and would you say it's even 5.6 million odds to hit this? Maybe a million to one

[rm18]

I got 14 in a row now getting hyped up

[clairvoyance]

I missed the first day

this is unreal value it really is not that impossible

you literally have a better chance of hitting the lottery than winning this contest

[clairvoyance]

actually, you literally have a better chance of hitting the lottery in consecutive weeks than winning this contest

[BestPlay2day]

Better chance of winning the lottery than hitting 57 in a row. My best this year is 12.

[rm18]

no it is like hitting 57 straight foul shots can be done, preliminary pick for tomorrow Dee Gordon

[clairvoyance]

foul shots can be 90% to hit. there's no player in the majors right now thats more than a 50% to get a hit in a game, maybe if you include bad pitching matchups its 60%. the odds are of hitting a 60% chance 56 times in a row is over 1 in a trillion

no player is 60% I will hit well over 80% this year. Ichiro in his prime got a hit over 85% of games

[rm18]

I am 54/66 but some of those I did not really try if I did not have a streak built up

[ryanspeer2001]

I would love to see someone nail this but even the guys who got to the low 40's still have a long road ahead of them.

[stikymess]

The person with the longest streak for the year gets a payday, maybe that's something more reachable.

[yisman]

I'm at a 10 gamer right now.

And yeah, you probably have a better chance at the lottery than Joe D's streak.

[rm18]

2 hits for my 50% shot, just got to take the guy with the best chance not the stars like a lot of guys.

[rm18]

Looks like Jose Reyes tomorrow to get me 16

[donnyguru]

Looks like Jose Reyes tomorrow to get me 16

Reyes and Jose Bautista took down 32% of entries yesterday. I am at 15 also, and took Asdrubal Cabrera. Good luck.

[rm18]

Reyes got a couple hits already, tomorrow back to Dee Gordon it looks like

[wiffle]

lololololololol 50%

some players are 75%+

unlikely anyone gets it, but some people have gotten into the high 40s before

[rm18]

Unreal 0-6 at Coors unreal Gordon you quick little jigaboo

should of took Jamey arging Carroll

[yisman]

I don't get why you're taking a guy with no track record, anyway.

I take established proven guys. You don't know what you're going to get from a guy who made his major league debut this month.

[ThaWoj]

jon jay burned me today. i wanted to take a lefty and every single lefty on the cards got a hit except for him. lol. oh well time to start a new streak.

[yisman]

Carlos Gonzalez got me to 12 on Monday night.

Amazingly, he was not on the list of most selected players.

[Jrod124]

My bro just got to 20 tonight. Its exciting and fun but like yisman said very difficult to do

[yisman]

i doubt anyone will hit it either...was just saying since it is such a long shot, shouldn't it be something like 100-1+

No.


Anyway, top active right now is 28.

[rm18]

I do not pick home player or guys goung against the Padres because of their bullpen, had Headley but dont matter I messed up

gonzo was my selection as well for monday night!

saw he had nothin in the first 2 AB's but didnt check the rest of the game

[ThaWoj]

i chose him b/c the pads had some no-name pitcher startin and i didnt like any of the other matchups. why do u not pick home players?

[rm18]

home players get less ABS

[yisman]

They may get less ABs in certain games, yes, but I am willing to take home players. If they don't bat in the 9th, it's because they're winning, and if they're winning, they probably had more plate appearances than the road team anyway.

My criteria is pretty simple:

1)Hittable starting pitcher.
2)Reliable hitter who doesn't take too many walks and bats in the top 3 of his lineup.
3)Higher total, although this can be waived for Ichiro.
4)Hitter who has not had many hitless days recently.

I don't factor in the bullpens or home/away

[Galante118]

im def gonna start this. cant hurt to try for 5.6 million! guys complaing about the odds are forgetting something, your not betting a dollar to win 5.6 million at odds of 1 to however hard this is to complete, your bettin absolutly nothing and it takes 5 minutes out of your day

[kfranz31]

its free and you have as good of chance of winning the lottery and how many people put cash in the lottery

[LGHT]

I think the whole thing is a waste of time and a distraction if your betting trying to make money. Stay focused and spend that time and effort betting mlb.

[DevilCheese]

I figure you should be able to find a batter with a 70% chance of getting a hit each day, then .7^57 = 0.00000000148 or about 1 in 750 million, then 6/750 = 0.008 which puts the EV at less than a penny per day. I think there are more profitable and less frustrating ways to spend your time
