espn streak for cash is trying to screw me over

**BestPlay2day** · 03-25-09, 09:47 PM

Pico, Baylor/Auburn yesterday on ESPN streak was who would hit the most 3 pointers. Auburn had 9 and Baylor had 7.

**pico** · 03-25-09, 09:50 PM

oh, fvck. i thought i pick who will win the game. damn it. back to 2 wins now

**louisvillekid** · 03-25-09, 09:53 PM

lol , i thought the same thing, i thought i was picking baylor to win cause the line was so close, but when they posted 9 to 7 , i was like "what?", i had to look it up.

i still don't know how those people have so many wins in a month, i'm lucky to get 45-50, it's hard to get 3 plays in in a day and hit all them.

my longest streak so far in this one is 8 and i had 2 7's, yet i'm only like 4 games over .500

it's in the image. it's the streak breaker at the top right. pico, not sure why you're bothering. There's no chance of you winning anything. It ends in a few days.

Only people who should still play would be people who have streaks of at least a few games.

Pico you hong kong ****. Hook me up with a 1 room shack near an ace hooker agency. Hong Kong looks like a crazy city. Beautiful skyline.

**pico** · 03-25-09, 09:57 PM

pat come over, i'll introduce you to some wealthy asian cougars.

to have a chance at most wins, you need to be in front of your computer every day and at different points of the day.

You need to play as many matchups as possible and hit like 90%.

You can play like 4 matchups a day on weekends.

Say:

4 on Sunday, 2 on Monday, 3 on Tuesday, 3 on Wednesday, 3 on Thursday, 3 on Friday, 4 on Saturday, etc. That would be 22 in a week. Sometimes you can do more (during the NCAA tournament you can do much more. The first four days you can do maybe 5 a day).

You'll get me whacked. You look like a powerful man. Must be a triad.

exactly, those people have to.

i usually try and pick an early game before i leave in the morning,but sometimes i'm in a hurry and forget, and in the evening i'm lucky to get 2 in, sometimes i'll choose a 7:30 game and if it's hockey or NBA it won't be over till past time for the last game on the board sometimes, so then i only got i in that evening.

Contest was over 3 months, starts over April 1st. Fun contest even though I have a better shot hitting the lottery than winning 27 straight for the $1 million.

**topgame85** · 03-25-09, 10:16 PM

My little brother got ****ed to at game time it was who would win then half way through they changed it to who would have more 3's, ESPN screwed a lot of people ended a guys 17 straight streak

espn rigging the contest. i remember it was listed as who will win when i picked it.

**topgame85** · 03-25-09, 10:25 PM

Yah they definitley had it listed as the winner and they even had a note up this morning saying they changed it my brother would have had 7 in a row if they had left it he's pissed, super gay especially because Baylor were underdogs

**Shortstop** · 03-26-09, 12:43 AM

ESPN is fixed.

**Tsoprano** · 03-26-09, 07:04 PM

unreal

**Bread** · 03-26-09, 07:06 PM

Pico = Shanty 2

**pico** · 03-26-09, 07:49 PM

bread, what is the story with shanty? i am not keeping up with the new posters

**yisman** · 03-27-09, 01:15 AM

I quit picking on March 12 because I figured I had no shot at winning anything, but I got sucked back in this week. Too addictive. I now have a 5 game streak.

The drock guy who leads the pack at 22 will go bust before 27.

Also, Thursday was a killer for streaks. Look at what won and the percentage of people. 94.4% on Edmonton lost. 67.7% on Vancouver lost. 81.1% on Miami lost. 68.5% on Calgary lost. 82% on Howell lost.

**pico** · 03-27-09, 01:22 AM

for the baylor game, i just made the pick from espn front page. i guess i might misread the matchup and though it was a stright up ml contest

**Robyn** · 03-27-09, 01:34 AM

Pico, Shanty has been posting here since 2005. He is apparently some kind of legend on all of the forums. Do a search on SBR for "shantystar" and you will be completely dazzled!

**pico** · 03-27-09, 01:36 AM

thanks roybn. when will you make a video of your lovely donkey?

**yisman** · 03-29-09, 11:10 PM

lead guy was an idiot and put his 25 game streak on San Antonio. They lost. No one gets the million, but the 25 streak guy gets a prize for longest streak.

I finished with 7 3+ winning streaks and 5 5+ winning streaks.

**crisp** · 03-30-09, 01:04 PM

espn streak is going to screw people with over 20 wins because they reset tommorow.

unless those people were/are playing every game on the board that they can today and tomorrow.

i quit a few days ago with my monthly wins of like 52, ain't no way to catch or keep up with those people who are on all day and play every available game.
