Doing it CONSISTANTLY is the key in this. 3-2 or better every week puts you at 60% or better. Just have to avoid those 2-3 or worse weeks. It's what separates the contenders from the pretenders

Thanks, but did you count the number of entries that went 4-1 or is there a place that gives the actually stats?

Just saw you're doing an NFL thread too, VR. Me too, of course! it's interesting to see how our threads either match or don't match our plays for The Degenerates... All good, as long as The Degens keep it rollin'!
Dave Tuley provides an update on the Westgate SuperContest, which drew a record number of entries, as well as other Vegas handicapping contests.
Also, if you check "SuperContest" on Twitter, you'll find a lot of interesting stuff. Like someone posted a pic of the prize distribution, which must have been posted at the casino only since I never saw it anywhere else, but I have it now... I also saw that Bill Simmons is in it. He went 4-1 too, the bastard!
To correct a post above, there were 78 folks 5-0, not 87. And it's 352 who went 4-1. We are tied for 79th, boys!
And can you believe that two people didn't enter their picks? Hahaha, WTF? Way to throw $1,500 away.

Yeah you welcome those people Capybara. As the season goes you'll get people out of it quitting also.

It's the east coast here, bro, I got up a half hour ago though and texted you back. Call me to discuss. I could have PM'd you what my tabulation spit out last night but didn't want to influence what yours came up with. Anyway, depending how we factor in opposition, I have two different possible lists of consensus picks, so we should discuss.

Shake it off.
Nothing a few 5-0s can't fix.

Thanks, Guys! Yeah, it's crazy early right now. 6-4 is fine, we just need to keep putting together 3-2 or above and drop in some 5-0's.
The best thing is that Week 2 hit everyone hard -- the top five consensus plays went 0-5!

Which means it was a PERFECT opportunity for us to gain ground Capy and we didn't

True, but we can't get down on ourselves for one 2-3 week, can we? That's bad for morale! Stay positive, Captain! We are going to DO this.

Oh I totally agree, I am simply stating a fact it's easy to win in the weeks when everyone wins. The difference between winning this and losing this is what you do on those tough weeks that get EVERYONE else that's all
I was just in the Doc and didn't see the OAK play listed
I so wanted to pull the trigger on that one but I've been stung once going with OAK and once going against TENN already and it's only week 3! I'm expecting the Raiders to come out fired up after the fashion of that home loss, but like I said, once bitten twice shy, I guess. What kind of angle do you see on it, if you don't mind. Maybe you can push me off the fence.

Okay all my DEGENERATES we need to right this ship and fast. It is still early but we CANNOT be under 3-2 the rest of the way if we want to be in the money. My proposal I posted in the GOOGLE.DOC but it is as follows EVERYONE will still submit their top 5 picks NOT 7 and the leading Capper will pick from the choices which ones we will submit for the WESTGATE CONTEST. He will continue to pick until someone knocks him off. Sort of like a King Of The Hill!!!
It is just a proposal so give me some feedback on it. I thought another idea we could go with is take all teams that 2 or more of us agree on where there is no opposition and go with those if there are not 5 games we agree on that fit into this result the top capper will decide the fill ins...
So just brainstorming guys let me know what you all want to do. We sucked this week yes but so did most handicappers pros and amateurs like us.
Pointwise 1-2
Mark Lawrence 1-2
Powersweep 1-3
Sportsreporters 0-2
Goldsheet 0-4
So no excuses but we were not alone this week and to those that did well and cashed congtrats to you and keep up the hard and good work. In the long run it is the consistancy that will carry you to the finish line
