Sammy got fooled. The first game was an April Fool's joke.

SexyMit · 04-01-09, 11:17 AM

LOL...Pico I saw that on was like ESPN8??? IDK, but I just picked the game anyway.

OK, now on to Spain

yisman · 04-01-09, 12:01 PM

the team names? ESPN 8? Siberian Premiership II? None of that tipped you off?

Turkey lost and then the Sabres lost.

I'm taking Phoenix to win tonight.

2

Davis Love III pending

yisman · 04-01-09, 11:47 PM

also at 1. Pissed it took me this long to get my first win, though.

yisman · 04-02-09, 12:04 AM

skipping the morning one. Golf takes ages to complete so it probably won't be done in time for an afternoon bet anyway.

I'm considering taking Ogilvey. That or Ebbsfleet

Tsoprano · 04-02-09, 12:14 AM

Yisman, how long do you predict my play that golf thing will go on for?

yisman · 04-02-09, 12:33 AM

5-7 hours, depending. I avoid golf if it'll cause me to miss the next timeslot.

bobbyfk · 04-02-09, 01:11 AM

on Denver for my first pick

yisman · 04-02-09, 01:23 AM

if you're actually trying to win something, you should pick an earlier matchup first. golf or soccer

if that loses, then a 7 matchup, then Denver.

Tsoprano · 04-02-09, 02:00 AM

I'm going to win 1,000,000

Yes sir,
T

SexyMit · 04-02-09, 07:29 AM

Yeah I just realized after the 1st day that you can pick more then 1 game a day...

pico · 04-02-09, 08:10 AM

streak 1 one now.

let me look at today's events. hmm there is a golf game coming up...

pico · 04-02-09, 08:12 AM

pick 3: ogilvy. he is the slight fav.

Thu 4/2 G. Ogilvy vs S. Appleby
10:50 AM 709 G. Ogilvy -131
710 S. Appleby +121

yisman · 04-02-09, 09:50 AM

I based it off the odds to win the tourney. He had much shorter odds.

yisman · 04-02-09, 09:51 AM

all three non-night matchups are the same in that you can't get in multiple matchups, so just pick one of the three. I don't like the earlier one.

pico · 04-02-09, 09:56 AM

yeah, i don;t think it matters which one you pick, you can't sneak another one before the 7pm games.

pico · 04-02-09, 10:29 AM

i think it is raining in houston. both golf matches are postponed. i think i'll stick with my pick

SexyMit · 04-02-09, 10:57 AM

Yeah it just rained its ****ing ass off down here. It shows now the tee time is 1140, so now we can't get in another selection until tonight

yisman · 04-02-09, 12:15 PM

golf is the worst for streak for the cash. NASCAR and tennis also suck.

Soccer and college basketball are the best. Also bowling, when they have it (rarely).

losturmarbles · 04-02-09, 03:21 PM

yeah if youre trying to get the most wins for the month,
each day start at the last pick or so for the day, and work your way backwards to map out which games you plan on picking that day. either that or organize the picks by finish time in your head, sometimes instead of 3 games that day you can find a way to sneak in 4. or on a full weekend day maybe 6 or 7.
but if youre going for the streak, then slow and steady, and watch out for trap games.

yisman · 04-02-09, 03:36 PM

yes, if you're trying to get the monthly wins, you simply pick as many games as possible.

Monthly wins is basically impossible, though.

On the weekends I miss too many games to have a chance, even if I got every single thing I picked on weekdays right.

I focus on building streaks, but even then, it's important to keep in mind endtimes. If you do lose, you want to be able to pick again as soon as possible.

Thus, if you have a streak of less than 5 games, you may want to bet 7 PM instead of 10 PM anyway on the chance you lose.

Once your streak gets long enough, you ignore start/end times and just focus on picking the surest winner. You also should be patient and be willing to wait a few days for the right pick.
