Wow! Going all out today. Good luck! I hope they win by at least two so I win too.

I must say......going head-to-head with you has shown me that you have STRONG qualities that most "wannabe" cappers don't have. Like discipline and money mgmt skills. I honestly don't have it....but corresponding with great cappers like yourself and many others here will get me there soon enough. Best of luck my friend.

Thanks bro! That means alot. I've learned a lot from reading why Dexter and CK make their plays. This is my first year capping NHL, NBA, and MLB. I've been doing NFL and College Football for a little more than 10 years and that is what I'm good at. The one thing I learned is that this is real money and nothing is for sure. If you can't live with the potential loss, don't place the bet.

Guys - I think the tournament is moving very well as it seems everyone is following the proper rules etc. Im not monitoring each thread, so keep me informed if your opponent is mia, screwing up lines etc etc. suicide kings and i did discuss via pm that we would not carry over unit balances each round. instead we will start over at 60. i apologize, but it doesnt appear that we ever communicated that to everyone. what we will do to reward people with higher unit amounts is seed them vs the lower unit amounts (rather then follow the random draw i first posted)....so ie,

brandon laz has the most units at 85

peterpan has the least units (but won his match) at 40

that would be the 1 vs 8 seed for round 2.

hope your all cool with that structure.

-dexter

Contest Update: June 6th

So, I've sifted through the threads and pulled each bettor's updated bankroll through June 6. If there's any errors in here, please let me know. Not everyone has updated their totals regularly.

Today's Action: 39.01u
Peter Pan: 15.07u

Amblai01: 46.99u
BbyHill: 70.6u

SoonerGreg: 56.25u
TheLemonDropKid: 36.38u

Gyftosgreek: 39.55u
Jellobiafra: 34.0u

BrandonLaz: 84.7u
Laxdjock: 54.1u

TheBerber2: 54.95u
Shoebox: 47.56u

ChiArchie: 39.865u
SuicideKings: 45.78u

Wangichu: 54.57u
Dexter: 52.85u

There's only 3 days left in round 1 (June 7 - June 9). Looks like some of the matchups will come down to the wire. One number I didn't check though, because it was too time-consuming, was the number of plays each bettor has made. Each player must have made 50 wagers by the end of the day on June 9th to qualify to advance into round 2. It is your responsibility to confirm that your opponent has made the minimum number of plays required to advance.

Good luck on the last 3 days guys. Make them count.
