Chi_archie - Is the Spring training contest still on?

**Chi_archie** · 03-10-09, 04:19 AM

crap, I keep forgetting about it.... I figured since we only had a few participants...i'd just grade it once very 2-3 days... but it is so far in the back of my brain that I forget to post my own damn plays....

I'll grade it today after the tuesdays games... it is still on... I'm not gonna let anyone else in.... only want the devoted few to have a shot....

Thanks, can you give me a ruling on this:

I'm taking the Angels in every game and betting against the White Sox in every game. If a line isn't listed in the LVSC opening lines, I'll take my pick at -130, I think that's fair because that's about the max juice for any favorite in Spring Training. Just because a game isn't listed in the opening lines doesn't mean that it shouldn't be available to us.

How does everyone feel about that?

is lvsc not listing all the games?

who suggested we use that??? anywho

due to the fact that we were using a pretty lax and stale method of getting our lines to begin with, and the contest is really not very serious. I say that YOU CAN take the angels everyday at -130

I don't wanna change the rules of where/how we get our lines mid-contest...but if there is a easier more fair method, that the majority of players agree on, i'm open to suggestions...

Great. Actually this situation came up several times and twice I posted "I'm taking this team at whatever the line is when it comes out." Thankfully I won both. Unfortunately, before I started checking ESPN for the full list of games there were five Angels/White Sox games that weren't listed in the LVSC lines and I didn't check ESPN so I missed them all. The amazing thing is that I would have gone 4-1 in those five games. That's a total of 6-1 in the games that weren't listed in the LVSC lines that I would have picked using my strategy. At least I'll get two of those wins.

Thanks a lot.
