sorry guys my ass is gonna get blasted tonight. I may not cover 3 games just in the first half much less the full game which will only get worse. Talk about some bad basketball play from some teams.

see if you can get the early games before friday by wednesday afternoon so we can get the consensus in.

Also guys one of the teams who seems to be in the lead has made 42 picks already. They are going for the win by volume alone. we have made 10 and are already about 8 units behind.

[picantel]

Real fast on the first page I have put my spreadsheet that has all our picks so you can follow everything. Just click on the link and you will see the team picks.

[thezbar]

Wednesday -no clue, no opinion, no lean.
Thursday - Rutgers -
Friday- Buffalo +
Thought- High volume can get a big lead but can also bury you fast. If the leaders slow up the pace then we could adapt accordingly.

[thezbar]

I looked at some of the other teams threads and the volume players are in the lead. Volume is not an issue at this point. There will be around a thousand plays available this month. Its the timing that is the question. In handicapping contest for horseplayers they say to shoot for the winning number and you will be OK.
What you are guys think will be the winning # for this contest. I thinking around plus 25 units. If we can agree on a number to shot for when we can plan the tactics from there.

[blg123]

sorry guys 0-2 for me yesterday just my damn luck... Spurs play great in the 1st half and then Rashad Wallace of all people buries me in the 4th quarter.

I say we adapt accordingly volume wise and like one of the other guys we attack the bowl games within this time frame if we can all agree on the bowl game and it's side we play it.

[picantel]

The one problem with waiting for bowl games is you can bet your life savings the other teams are gonna play every single game so we will be in catch up mode. We only have 10 plays and lol I have made 7 of them. Maybe let's see how the next couple of days go but we would have to go 8-0 right now just to catch up to the winning team.

[picantel]

lol my east carolina under 160 is not looking so good since they scored 100 in the first half. I guess defense is not needed. However the E carolina +2 is looking good so far

[thezbar]

I am working on the college football menu. I will post later tonite with my opinions.

[blg123]

looks like I am going to be 1-1 with North Carolina playing now....boy nice of Vandy to even show up to play basketball tonight geez

[thezbar]

navy= its them or nothing for me
pitts = Love Mccoy as a running back. Uconn likes to run also. Consider the under.
e carolina -play against tulsa defense
Virgina Tech= Some trends point in their direction
Washington= Won last years game
Florida = I will bet this game
Ucla - gun to my head choice. Consider the under
Ark st/troy =can't decide no selection
Florida international -use in contest gets my approval
Arizona ST -lean to the dog in rivalry games
Mizzouri = lines too high
cinn = focused they win, concerned about refs and travel stops me from betting.
Guys I will be off line thursday afternoon till late Saturday afternoon as things stand at the moment. You have my blessing on anything you decide.

[picantel]

ok blg the following games below are consensus if you can get the plays in. If you are not 100% positive you will be around let me know and I can get them in or another member. The lines are based on intertops so make sure they are close.

Navy -11
E Carolina -13.5
Florida -9.5
Washington +35
Florida Int -7
Arizona -11

If I missed a pick that 3 of us like let me know. Also, the others are fair games. If you like them then go ahead and play the game. First come first serve basically on gameday.

[picantel]

team is up around 2.5 units with 2 games to go tonight but it looks like a split so pretty close to that amount.

personal plays with 1 left(looks like a loser though)
9-5-1 +4.75

[pimike]

GL man hope your team continues doing well

[picantel]

Cosa Nostra is now up 11 units with a ton of games to go tonight. They have made 91 plays now. We are getting further and further back. If we are gonna move and take a chance it may have to be soon unless they get creamed soon.

[picantel]

GL man hope your team continues doing well

thanks pimike I do appreciate it.

make that 13 units and I see a buncha winners to be in their spreadsheet. Nicky is on fire.

[picantel]

ok guys little update. Looked over the teams and estimated some units to see where we stand. There are around 7-8 teams above us. The top team is at +17 units followed by roughly +10,+9,+8,+7,+5, ect. you get the drift. We are around 14.5 units behind the leader now which means we have to go 15-0 just to catch up. I highly suggest a few more plays. I do not really wanna make mass plays myself just to catch up as this is a team effort.

[blg123]

ok sounds good I will open things up a little bit

[picantel]

Letting you guys know to make things easier to see I now have our team spreadsheet in my signature. I will add your picks as soon as I see them.

[thezbar]

Gone fishing. Back saturday nite , Carry on !

[picantel]

well my rutgers -10.5 and over 51.5 is looking good considering they are up 49-0 at the half lol

[mtneer1212]

Just keep picking winners -- they will come back to the pack

[picantel]

I am gonna call denver and ok st a loss so total team effort:
21-14-2
+6.02
60%

pretty darn good for horse guys

Now for the bad news. Costra is now up 29 units. They are pulling away through just massive plays. They are only picking 64% so are getting there through volume. We are hanging in their through skill.

[thezbar]

Pleny of drama on the board for a $100.oo contest! My plan this week is to get the 20 picks in. Shooting for 12/8 or 13/7.

[picantel]

Ok I took some time and changed the spreadsheet so you can now see your individual results. I am about to view and puke at mine sigh but here are the updates.

Team:
56-44-3
56%
+9.35

Picantel:
38-32-2
54.29%
+4.26

Blg123:
9-5-1
64.29%
+3.59

Mtneer1212:
2-3
40%
-1.06

Thezbar:
7-4
63.64%
+2.46

In a word- we are way way behind and not by skill but through picks. We need at least 20 a person per week if not more.

[picantel]

Sorry about all the picks guys. I really think there should have been a max. There is no way I would make this many but when another team spends hours watching lines and putting up 100 a night you have to catch up or die. This sucks.

[thezbar]

Our team may need a softer spot. Perhaps we should ship to Charles Town or Finger Lakes.

that was good

[picantel]

Gonna try a nicky tonight. Took the lines from this morning and compared them with the lines at intertops a few minutes ago and played those that were off(except for a couple I liked). Good idea or bad or we just find out tonight? The number after my bet is the number at intertops. I hope I did this right.

play #84: Harvard OVER 125 -105 OU 133

play #85: Indiana U OVER 121 -105 OU 123

play #86: Dayton+6 -109

play #87: Bradley+2.5 -110 Bradley -1

play #88: Ul Monroe OVER 129 -105 OU 132.5

play #89: Dayton OVER 125 -105 OU 128.5

play #90: Arizona OVER 125.5 -105 OU 130

play #91: New Mexico OVER 122 -105 OU 125

[picantel]
