    MLB Beat the Streak

    Not sure if anyone here plays it. If you beat DiMaggio's 56-hit streak, you win $5.6 million dollars. You can pick up to two different players a day to get a hit and build a streak.

    They've been doing it for like 5 years now and one guy got up to 51 games, but that's the closest. There's a guy right now at 50 games and another 46. However, the guy at 50 picked Soto today and Soto looks like he's going to go hitless. 8th inning and no hits so far. Man, I would be at church on my hands and knees crying and praying right now. So close to $5.6 million.

    You get a big cash prize for biggest streak for the season, but with a guy at 46, not sure he will hold them off.

    I play sometimes but always end up forgetting about it. When it 1st started years back I was interested the 1st year, then I realized I had no mfin chance! Lol.

    Can’t believe someone got to 51! That crazy impressive. What a bummer tho to get so close!!! Think best I ever did was 17 I think (give or take) lol.,

    Surprised he put it on Juan Soto? Dude’s not even hitting .300. If you’re going to pick a National, pick Rendon. That’s who I took. He got two hits. Just need a hit from Andrus and I’ll be up to 4 haha

    Agree. He’s not as dumb as the ESPN streak guy on Sunday. That guy risked it on the Cubs at the Reds when he had theee days of much better options and didn’t pick them. Ended up losing $35k. Could have taken Astros vs Mariners but ignored it and took Cubs instead on road.

    That's the reason I quit playing, I'd be suicidal if I got that close only to be turned away. I think you get like 10K for being the best of the year so I guess that would be a decent consolation prize.

    I got to 17 the first time I played it and never got that high again. Thought it was easy, found out otherwise. The math going against you is daunting.

    Yeah, I think ESPN one is a little easier...not to say it's easy. But the MLB one just feels impossible. I've gotten up to 13 and 14 on ESPN before and sometimes 20 is enough to win for the month. Plus they have a $5k prize for most wins per month which is doable and I've gotten close to. So while it's really hard, it's not as impossible to win as the MLB streak. I don't know how the heck some of these guys have built streaks like that. The most I've gotten is 16 and I was on my hands and knees praying then.

    Good to know, thanks, I'll look into playing in that. 5K or nothing is easier to handle than 5.6 million or nothing (or 10K).

    Damn, didn’t realize there was that kind of monthly prize on ESPN.

    I never remember beat the streak, during March madness when I’m logged on to ESPN for bracket contest is only time I seem to do it, and there so many crazy oddball options like who makes 1st 3, who scores 1st after 3 min mark, etc etc. I never get it going very far, then I forget all about it again. Lol.

    Guess I should play it.

    Yeah, I like it. it's fun and makes you follow sports more. They give you fun props and also the chance to pick winners who are -200 or -300. For example, they'll put Astros-Blue Jays on there and you pick a winner. Hard part is there's always an upset. So you'll be at 11 wins in a row, closing in on the lead, take the Astros over the Jays, and the Jays will win and your streak is back down to 0. Use that example because it happened to me last month when Astros were -330 to win.

    Has anyone won MLB beat the streak?

    With no baseball for the KC Royals Monday night, the streak took center stage. Robert Mosley, better known as kamea in MLB's Beat the Streak game, lucked out Saturday with Bryce Harper's walk-off home run. ... String together a 57-game hit streak to beat Joe DiMaggio's record of 56 games and you win $5.6 million dollars.May 16, 2017

    Buy a place in Vegas and gamble until it’s gone. Then sell the place, gamble that up and end up homeless on the streets. That’s just how it would go.
