NASCAR Picks Game - Cheesy 355

[yisman]

might have to start offering personalized lines next week based on performance

I'm taking a beating

Going to need Kasey Kahne to beat Truex.

Every week I need one of two things:

the favorites to lose or for my picks to go 5/5 in which case the favorites don't matter. what happens is I keep getting 3 right and people win their bets and I never finish in the prizes (brutal that week where I tied for 2nd in a jackpot week and lost the first to post tiebreaker).

[Optional]

55 to win 50 over 2.5 on me

[bigdaddyjames]

max is 110 to win 100

can i take 110 to win 100 on over 2.5 ????

[yisman]

you can take it next week. I need the points in before the race begins.

[bigdaddyjames]

the race had not started when i asked you

[yisman]

fine I will make an exception and let you bet if you send now, assuming no one has crashed from the matchups

[yisman]

Jeff Gordon has wrecked so I cannot take your bet.

[bigdaddyjames]

trying to send points now

[bigdaddyjames]

Jeff Gordon has wrecked so I cannot take your bet.

OK then send my points back

[yisman]

how about 2 you win 3 and up i win ?????

50 for 50

jeff gordon does not count

[yisman]

I will take the bet with your terms if I understand right

you have to get 3 or more right

jimmie/gordon matchup would not count for you because that one is over (Jimmie won)

if you agree send points

[CarolinaDaze]

Cool I hope you win, since you got points now, how bout send me some of the 375 points you owe me. Football seasons coming soon and I know you'll want to borrow more from me then. If you don't send me some, then no problems but come Football season you'll regret it.

[yisman]

CarolinaDaze 2
luvtogamble 2
rob 2
yisman 4 (Ambrose and 27)
t-bone 1
rickie65 3
bigdaddyjames 4 (Ambrose and 24)
Optional 2
DDT 3
OnenOnlyMush 3
LtDementia 3
Noles 3
shaun 2
5mike5 2
BadNina 3
onlooker 4 (Ambrose and 25)



Nina and Noles picked the winner, although it must've been accidentally for Nina!

I win via tiebreak, onlooker gets second via tiebreak. bigdaddyjames gets bubbled. Nice to win but I wish I could've hit a jackpot week!

fyi, next week I will be adding tiebreakers so it will be winner, llc, and then something else (driver to finish last? time of race? cautions?)

listing anyone who passed on Ambrose:

mike picked Brad
Nina, Noles
LtDementia picked Logano
mush picked bipolar busch
ddt and t-bone picked bowyer
luv picked truex
