pico: espn streak for cash picks thread.

[yisman]

finally scored as a loss. I hate ESPN.

Losing streak now at 4, and now I can't pick soccer.

[pico]

streak back at 0

next pick: st loius blues

[yisman]

lost with the Mets. 5 game losing streak but couldn't get back to pick anything because I was at softball.

[yisman]

I'll take Joe Johnson

[losturmarbles]

I'll take Joe Johnson

i like joe also. hawks at home, joe should outscore wade straight up, plus he gets the assists.

[yisman]

game not over in time to pick the late game

losing streak now at 6, it looks like


hawks blow out miami, but Joe Johnson falls just short

[pico]

streak 0

last pick of the day: anthony(den)

[yisman]

at the last second I got the pick in. Took Carmelo.

By far my longest losing streak. I'm now at 7.

[Shortstop]

Take the Kenyan for the Boston Marathon at 9:30 AM

[yisman]

I'll take Ryan Hall.

[yisman]

wait, I didn't realize this was the top Kenyan.

Hall is really good (one of the best US HS runners ever), but I don't think he can stay with the top Kenyans.

In fact, RKC is about +100 and Hall is like +500.

This is too easy. I think I have to take RKC unless I'm trying to lose on purpose (I'm only two shy of the current leaderboard).

[pico]

streak stuck at 0

next pick: sheffield united to win

[yisman]

losing streak at 8. Not sure if that's good or bad.

I originally picked Ryan Hall, lol.
I'm taking Burnley.

Good chance of a draw.

[yisman]

I was thinking about it earlier and I decided I didn't mind that I picked the Kenyan. Had I picked Ryan Hall, he would've lost as well.

I'm picking to win, but I got jinxed somehow. Let's see how it happens. If I cared about the streak, I'd pick to lose and I wouldn't keep picking every possible matchup.

[yisman]

I notice yankees-a's got postponed. Can't believe that was a matchup. Way too easy, 3 homers or more. They're playing in a stadium that allows like 5 a game and the A's have good power.

[yisman]

^ that post must've broken it.

ESPN.com is showing a Burnley win, although the lazy SOB scoring stuff for this contest hasn't updated it.

[pico]

still losing.

picked nats. but the game isn;t starting.

[losturmarbles]

taking calgary tonight

[yisman]

I took the Capitals and I'm hoping to get in another pick.

[pico]

streak 1

next pick liverpool to win

[yisman]

Rockies turn 2 game winning streak into 1 game losing streak.

Liverpool win.

[yisman]

longest SBR streaks:

golfertap, T. Pacelli with 8



losturmarbles Entry, C L with 15



by the way, they just stuck up an ad for the NFL draft. I guess they'll be posting a bunch of props. Longest winning streak during the draft wins $5,000. I remember they did this on Christmas with all the NBA games and props. I actually got a 5 gamer that day. I thought I had a chance to win.

[yisman]

we have a streak legend here. The 15 game losing streak is tied for 4th. 4th place out of millions of participants!

========

losing streak at 2.


I'd like to pick St. Louis, but that won't end in time for the late games.

Means I have to pick the Philly baseball game or the Philly hockey game.

I guess I'll take the Phillies. Both games are a tossup.

[pico]

flyers

seems like losing is easier than winning.

[yisman]

losing is definitely easier than winning.

[losturmarbles]

i'm taking seattle tonight, was leaning anaheim but sj might take it out of desperation

[pico]

flyer seems like a loser.

going with sharks once this game is over

[yisman]

Streak is at 1 after the Phillies win.

lot of options late.

Not used to seeing four matchups after 10 PM EDT.

here's what I would take for each matchup

Tigers
Mariners
Sharks
Boozer

last one is the hardest to predict, so throw that out the window.

I think I'm going to take San Jose. I really think they win tonight.

I say:
60% San Jose wins
54% Seattle wins
50% Detroit wins

[yisman]

delay in Philadelphia.

#$^$*#$

If it lasts longer than 20 minutes, I'm screwed.

[SexyMit]

Yeah I have philly also... I sure hope they hurry up with the delay!

[pico]

sharks.

2 games losing streak.

i am better at doing a losing streak than a winning streak.

[yisman]

@#*$#^@#(*$&@#&#$&@&$#%#&


I picked a 7:05 game and I'm not going to be able to make a second pick. @&%# you Phillies. Next time just cancel the game beforehand.

If the delay is over a half hour, the game is official, and it's a rout, the game should be called. If it was 4-3, I could understand it more.

It's 11-3 in the 7th.

F-ing streak for the cash is ridiculous.

[pico]

^^^april rain. should;ve picked an indoor game. but you got a winner though

[yisman]

Had I known, I would've taken Pittsburgh, but I figured the hockey game as a 50-50 game. I gave the Phillies a better chance of winning than the Penguins.

[losturmarbles]

i'm going with pitt for the 1230 baseball game today
