pico: espn streak for cash picks thread.

[yisman]

woohoo, 1 out in top of the 8th, and there's a double.

It was well above 90% but a late rush of no's pushed it down to 87.6%.

Either way, another win for the popular pick.

[yisman]

back to back doubles!


This won with ease.

[yisman]

next one is whether there will be a run in the 4th inning of Oakland/Tampa Bay.

Tricky one.

[SexyMit]

I did no! But I'm on a 5 game losing streak! I have been taking the lesser percentage since the higher ones have won most of the day!

[yisman]

Depends on how the third goes, really.

I'm leaning towards not picking it, because I have almost no chance of getting 16 or whatever to win the day.

[yisman]

I did no! But I'm on a 5 game losing streak! I have been taking the lesser percentage since the higher ones have won most of the day!

Wait, so you're trying to lose?

The comments on espn.com crack me up.

ANYONE KNOW WHY I HAVE A TRASH CAN ON MY POST????????? I DONT LIKE IT, CAN I GET IT OFF?????????

[yisman]

anyway, it's 4-5-6 for Oakland and 5-6-7 for Tampa Bay.

I can't bring myself to pick it. If I was going to, I'd take no runs.

[yisman]

I just calculated it. Had I picked the maximum possible amount of picks (obviously a few picks did not allow another pick which was starting at about the same time), I'd be 11-4, but my longest streak would be 3 or 4 games.

I'm glad I didn't take the under, because Oakland got two off of Garza in the top of the 4th. That broke a ton of streaks.

They have a 1.5 over/under on strikeouts in the 8th for Rays/A's. That's tough.

  I am SERIOUS. What do you mean the BAR ALONE.

  I dont understand the rules so much

[yisman]

Tampa Bay is second in baseball in Ks, but Oakland is tied for 22nd.
I have a 9 game overall streak. 4-0 today.
It comes down to who is pitching. Also the batters matter. Some are contact and some are high K guys.
Seems like a risky prop.

[SexyMit]

I think I have Chipper Jones tonight in BTS.... Going for number 15 tonight! That seems like the only wins I can cheer for since the other one is not doing good lol

[yisman]

I also took Chipper today. Hittable pitcher and he has a good history. The problem is Chipper doesn't always play and he does walk a lot.

I know that - a failure by a batter or runner to reach a base safely in baseball. I mean, I cant understand yte question. By the way. I picked up 2 or more.
If you need help in another sport I can help. Baseball is my weak. Tks guys
Carolina, take a look at my group and chek out yourself

[yisman]

#&$&@%# The Howell prop was changed to a push. That reinstated a bunch of cheater's streaks.

[yisman]

Skipping lacrosse and homer props.

[SamsNCharge99]

went w/ under 8 in lacrosse......streak of 4

[losturmarbles]

whoa, nice job yis, streak of 9

im at -1

picked canes-pens under 1st period

although i would say the 1st may go over, 2nd under, game under.

i might bet it that way

[SamsNCharge99]

streak of 5 w/ the lacrosse win...going w/ under 2 for 1st period

[yisman]

I actually like the over in NHL tonight, but the 2 goals or less than the first period is too tempting to pass on.

I took it. There are rarely three goals or more in the first period.

It's going to take like a half hour, but it's less random than the innings props, at least.

[yisman]

wow, the lacrosse one was yet another 90+% that won. I didn't think the %s would be so high. They shot up.

[SamsNCharge99]

yisman keep it up, you're at 9, me at 5, both of us got 2 goals or under....not really like much for the rest of the night, but we shall see

[yisman]

Looks like we're both headed for 0/-1. Two quick goals to start the game.

[SamsNCharge99]

wow, this is gay...what are the chances of 2 goals in 4 minutes...we still have small chance....if I lose, obv. going to pick some random ones to try and work it back

[yisman]

that's it. streak broken

[SexyMit]

Damn 4 goals in less then 10 minutes.... I don't think I've ever seen that!

[yisman]

softball next, I guess. I have no idea about softball, though

[SexyMit]

Well Chipper Jones already got a hit! So 15 and counting

[pico]

streak 0

pujos walk or hit

[yisman]

Any other result for Pujols.

I changed from softball because that's taking forever.

[SexyMit]

I did the same on Puljos

[SamsNCharge99]

any other for Pujois...then maybe softball, then Kobe....then no extra base hit in 1st 2 innings

[yisman]

Pujols homers. Time for softball.

streak at -2

[yisman]

Streak at 1, taking Kobe

[SamsNCharge99]

kobe,,,losing streak of 3

[pico]

streak 1

penguins more 3rd period shots

[SamsNCharge99]

finally, a streak of 1...after losing 3 straight in about an hour...LOL

Going against the public and saying no extra base hit in 1st 2 innings. 2 solid pitchers, so I'm hoping for singles only
