I'm starting to think it's on purpose. The old word of mouth thing. "You ought to come join this contest, It's easy money" type thing. Come on Prick you got ta have some pride.

That's absurd. It's just as hard to pick 'losers' as it is 'winners.'
Think about what you just suggested.

I'm not so sure that Hawk isn't on to something...
If you were SBR, would you rather have 100 winners of $50 bucks apiece or 5 winners at $1000 apiece?
Now, I think they'll tell you they don't care how many people win, but if their business is, at least in part, driven by traffic to their site...better to have 100 winners than 5. Don't you agree?

I can just hear the thundering sound across the internet of 100 people winning 50 bucks.
Quite frankly, if publicity was the main concern a weekly winner of 5K would be the preferable option.
On to things that matter...

Once again, take a step back and think about what you're saying. You're saying that picking 'losers' is easier than picking 'winners.' Well, if the Prick knows how to pick losers consistently, then he by definition knows how to pick winners (the other side), right?
So wouldn't he and the rest of SBR then just live in mansions outside of Vegas and bet the other side of these "easy" losers every week at every book in the world, Billy-Walters-style, rather than run this site and this contest?

Come on Prick, show some pride and pick a winner tonight!
Odd, last year we all were against him, and now come MNF time, those firmly in the money are rooting for him to win - to narrow the pool of cash distribution.
Besides, What happens if the prick goes 4-0? That happened a few times last year, and SBR kept the money - didn't they? When that happened, the prick doled out some serious pain to the contestant group, and I am sure the Prick is looking to do the same this year....
Anyway, I have a feeling as the contest goes further along, the Prick will show some of his skill and start making strong showings. I have to agree that consistently picking losers ATS is just as hard as picking ATS winners - as last year's booby prize contestants may attest to.

I know. It's so perverse. Cheering for The Prick.
We all have to be re-trained.
