Sportspicks3434 and SSK13809...

[kroyrunner89]

We've had talks of doing a contest from Week 3 until Week 17 of the NFL season. Wanted to throw a thread up where we could figure out how many SBR points to put down and how to structure the contest. Here's my proposal:

300 SBR points (SSK doesn't have that many yet, pay up at the end?)
5 picks a week
1 best bet
No ML plays

How's that sound guys?

[ssk13809]

Sounds good. I am off to the same awful 6-4 start as you. Hopefully we can pick it up. At least I know I will.


But just remember you are going against someone who hits 70% every year and winning is a "given" to me. I've made plenty of threads on the forums not asking how to win, but "given" a 70% hit rate, then how do you make the most out of your winnings. Those are the questions I ask. So good luck competing against that.



Though I doubt SP joins. He is 3-6 or 4-6 this season
He's better off saving those 300 points and not messing with you or especially me.

In all fairness...

1. Do you really want to use 9 or 10 plays as your sample size to determine who's good/bad at picking winners?
2. SP also picked 28 winners out of 40 plays in 4 weeks of preseason action. Just so you know...

[Quickbuck?]

ssk you are a little bitch. i might be the worst sports bettor in the world but dont knock other cappers like that. take a ******* chill pill. the bankroll will say it all. you don't have to boast about this 70% win percentage. If you really do that then why would you give a rats ass about another capper. just sayin.

[falconticket]

what a dork. No wait you are the best. Please teach me. How do you do it? Little Bitch

Preseason is all luck. NFL Experts like me don't even watch preseason. I didn't. That's why I always get off to bad starts for the NFL Season (6-4) because I am going based off last year and some off-season.

But yeah, luck and skill is separated in the transition from preseason to season. SP is being picked off.

Wow SportsPick is popular here. I didn't even say anything. I just said he is off to an absolutely HORRIBLE start. I mean, even I am, but not that BAD.

But hey thats why we are asking him to start from Week 3. It's like leaving bait for a fish. "Week 3 is when we'll start, forget your bad start". Bait for a fish. Kroy knows this too.

[falconticket]

Oh wait 6-4 start, hell I did better than that myself. Nevermind .

[ssk13809]

Yeah without a doubt 6-4 is an embarrassing start. Not denying it. I've already called it an awful start plenty of times.

[kroyrunner89]

SSK love the talk and love the confidence, just hope you're prepared to back it up. If I lose to 70% well there's no shame in that. But you're going to actually have to hit that now, not just talk about it.

Side note: I don't use SBR picks very often, for anyone who happens to view this thread who's a little more familiar how can I set this up when a challenge can only be between 2 people?

[falconticket]

SPSP3434 is god on his thread, and followers. Its like a cult. But he has done good on college.

dude you might be real good but just be humble man. thats all i am sayin. with a 70% win rate you ought to quit your day job.

Yeah something must be up. All I said is he is not doing too well this season, and I get attacked by everyone.

I'm asking him to start Week 3 because I think it'd be fun to have him involved, it has nothing to do with how he's started. I disagree, I respect what he did in the preseason and I do think you can learn from the preseason and it isn't all luck. We all have slow starts at times, and some of his losses are moneyline losses. Not sure what his ATS record is but still... no need to belittle anyone. If you wanna talk trash, take care of business in this contest and earn that right

[falconticket]

No one can cap preseason can they? I mean thats just luck. The good teams are not going to play there good players are they? In reality the worst teams should do best in preseason because they are testing there guys. Seeing who is up to the game. The best teams are playing like third string. Am I wrong on this?

You got the right idea. Anything can happen. No different than flipping coins.

The year I totally stopped watching preseason was when the Lions went 4-0. And then 0-16 in regular season. Never watched a preseason game after that.

[vyomguy]

You guys can open a heads up contest...its in the contests page.

[falconticket]

Yeh preseason can totally fuk your whole season. But I haven't played it in years. I'm suprised anyone does. I do watch the Falcons games just to see what are second and third string are like, in case we need them to play.

Is sp3434 even in on this. I saw where you asked him earlier on his thread, but didn't see a a response. He seems like the type that wouldn't give two shits about a contest, but I don't know.

He was talking with SSK about how he'd be interested since he loves chances at winning SBR points

[ssk13809]

Yeah he was. He was interested in the contest. He did want to go head to head with me.


But sorry Kroy, it appears I scared him off. (Based upon his last response) I scared the fish before it even got to the bait.

But the guy has no confidence whatsoever. And he realized its a lose-lose situation. He would lose the contest and his reputation. There is no win here because he realistically has no chance of winning. Smart but backpedaling pussy move by him.

Until he actually proves he can win something it's all BS as far as I'm concerned. He got hammered in the first week contest so I give him no credibility at all. It's just words at this point.

What, is 1st week Week 2 for you? For the last time I went 4-1 in my 1st week. 10 or so posters I PMed the same exact picks and they can all verify I went 4-1.

The first week of the contest. The one you're now trying to get out of to start fresh.

Both me and Kroy are 6-4 at this point for the season.

Uh-huh. Well, as SP isn't interested in participating, I guess you'll have to claw your way back the hard way champ.

So we are going to count kroy's Week 2 4-1, but not my Week 1 4-1?

Sure. Fine with me. Though I think kroy should maybe make it more fair. But fine with me either way.

GTFO. You both started that comp at the same time, you both entered your 5 tips for the week. Yours just sucked. It's perfectly fair. Man up.

I said "fine with me" twice. I'm okay with it. It's good. So why "GTFO" and "Man-Up". When I'm saying okay I'm fine lets go with that.

Lol, you're something else How about YOU play fair, take responsibility for your crap Tips, and stop trying to accuse Kroy of somehow not playing by the rules when you know perfectly well it's all legit. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Now, start saving those points, you're going to need them, although I expect you'd rather just disappear from the board rather than pay up when the time comes.

I didn't accuse anybody of anything. I gave Kroy some other considerations, but am fine with whatever he decides to go with. Though it was a test of his confidence level on my part.

But like I said, I'm fine with whatever he decides to do.

[kroyrunner89]

Looks like I was mistaken on SP having interest. I'm starting a new contest for us, if you really did have a 4-1 week one it's only fair. we'd both be 6-4 at this point and it gives us an even starting point. Join here SSK: http://contests.sbrforum.com/pending...hallenge-1751/

[SportsPicks3434]

Hey Kroy the mods will close this thrread regardless of you asking them to do so. This is a forum to talk sports not for personal gain. These types of threads do not last more than a day and I am really suprised you authored this thread. Do not lose focus of why you are here. I am not here and I am sure you aren't here to entertain a few jealous folk who come and go with their contests threats.

Kroy what are your thoughts of mixing ML into this?

[GunShard]

Preseason and the first few weeks of the regular season is a guessing game.

I am not sure why any pro would bet any money at this point.
