BRISTOL--5mike5

[5mike5]

About as I expected and guessing Kyle 3-1 for nationwide

id guess same thing, and maybe even a little lower

[DiggityDaggityDo]

u can bet them as much as u want( after odds change), but h2hs are $250 win amount on favs and bet amount on underdogs...

$250 for most race winner PER BET....u can max them as many times as u want when odds move....even if they come back to odds u already have maxed out...like last week i had max bets on kennseth at several diiferent odds, and some were same after moving

its easy cause if u max bets odds will usually move immediatley....ive maxed same h2hs/driver win odds many times every race and ive never been stopped and i do that weekly

(even though they are still taking some measures against me at times on certain things

Thanks for the info, Mike!

[Vegas39]

really

Yes I think 3 years ago . I'd have no chance

I don't think it's ever happened Vegas, do you have a link?

There's usually a story about someone claiming to be perfect or whatever, but I've never seen a verified perfect bracket that was actually filled out before the tournament.

(CBS) Ever wonder if you could pick a perfect bracket?
Don’t count on it. According to Jeff Bergen, DePaul University professor of mathematics and a lifelong collegiate basketball fan, if you knew nothing about basketball and randomly filled out a bracket, your odds would be 9.2 quintillion to one.
Now, if you know a little about basketball, your odds greatly increase, but they are still 128 billion to one. To put that into perspective, Bergen says that if every single person in America had basketball knowledge and filled out a bracket, there would still only be one quarter of one percent chance that someone would have a perfect bracket.

Far smaller than 100,000 to 1.

From a strict standpoint of picking 64 out of 64 games (63 games in the tournament plus the one play-in game), the odds of picking all 64 games would be about 1.84x 10^19 to 1... however, that only assumes a 50/50 chance of picking each individual game... it does not take into account that some early round game are more likely to be won by the higher seed (no #16 has ever knocked off a #1, for example)... and those straight odds also do not account for any possibility of upsets later on.

Think about how many people around the country have been playing the brackets every year for the past "X" years... millions upon millions of people, playing every single year... yet, no one's ever picked all 63 or 64 games perfectly.

I will see if I can find one. Almost. Positive there was one

[Vegas39]

Ok yis you are right the kd I was thinking of was perfect first 2 rounds

[yisman]

Vegas, I remember that one, and he didn't actually even do that.

He didn't fill it out before the tournament

http://deadspin.com/5501194/autistic-kids-perfect-ncaa-bracket-can-easily-be-faked

[Vegas39]

Oh hell never knew that

[yisman]

that was the one I was thinking of when you said perfect bracket.

Some dumbass writer put the story out without verifying it, and it spread to a bunch of websites. Great story. Autistic kid has it perfect through two rounds. Then people eventually realized it was bogus, but it was too late.

I can fill out a perfect bracket for last year's tournament.

[Vegas39]

That damn funny. Media alway jumping gun

[5mike5]

wow

they even threw in the kid was autistic and the writer didnt check it b4 hand...lol....

[Vegas39]

yeah always

a few books clone lines and they are the first to open (greek, sportscrook.ag, I think betus)

then 5 Dimes comes in some time after, usually at least 6 hours, with their own lines

Greek and sportscrook.ag used to regularly have lines up Tuesday morning.

spirtsbook.ag has theirs up

Jimmie opened as fave at5-1

[5mike5]

odds will be better than i expected

[shaunovery]

my perfect bracket is normally not perfect after the first rd of games lol

this tourney going to be much harder than in previous yrs no one really stands out as in recent yrs picking final 4 not too hard

[shaunovery]

Greek odds

nationwide Kyle 3-1 brad 7-2

cup brad jimmy and Kyle all a very tempting 7-1

[JackalLion]

Early leans..48 and 56 possibly the 20 if better than +11

[5mike5]

ill be all over openers as dimes will be slightly better than greek as usual or at worse same on 1 or 2

ill post when im done with them

[Crony]

2007 ESPN pool had a contestant hit 59 and not win the pool (pts increase each round) a 58 had more later round picks.

2009 ESPN pool winner had 58 right.

[5mike5]

yeah long way from perfect

[bmansell33]

id like to know what lap # that best lap of the day was run on

It was lap 231 or 232
have you guys been to this site pretty informative i think

http://www.jayski.com/cupnews.htm

[5mike5]

oh yeah jayski is a must have, if u dont already have info...i dont use it much anymore, but its the 1 of the best known sites there is, if not the most widely known besides nascar.com....espn promotes it

when i use to pay close attention to sessions, i would use it alot more....

was great for off-season paint schemes this season for new car, i liked that

[Vegas39]

Use it for entry lists and always check it for news. Especially since for 9999999th time NASCAR.com sucks

[bmansell33]

Well atleast i found the fast lap than! Lol

+999999999999999999999

[5mike5]

Well atleast i found the fast lap than! Lol

its a must have site if u dont have alot of that stuff, at least imo

and like Vegas said, entry list its the BEST and easiest place to find those....and either there or mrn is the best place to fins avgs of sessions if u like seeing that, which i still have to look at that 10-lap times....basically is u have jayski and mrn, its really the only sites u need for nascar information....and really either or

and thanks for the lap #, that was right around the final restart i think...still impressive cause it WAS on older tires

[5mike5]

and the only blog i ever even read now is Micah's....1 of the few people's opinions i like to read....i use to like to read some articles on on nascar.com site for fun, but now i dont even bother trying to find those....that and and few posters opinions here i respect and like to know what they think each week

[Vegas39]

As mike said the paint schemes on their are great. Plus past years race results

[shaunovery]

just a small tot bit from last week I read

111 commercials during the race last week

[5mike5]

i use to like to read nascar.com fantasy preview and fantasy showdown video was pretty good....but i havent even attempted to find those now

[5mike5]

just a small tot bit from last week I read
