pico: espn streak for cash picks thread.

[yisman]

well this sucks. I needed to get in two picks tonight. I chose the wrong game. I picked Mets instead of White Sox even though I thought the White Sox had a better chance of winning because I figured the Mets game would end sooner. Instead, the Mets game is still going.

I really liked Detroit too. A shame.

[losturmarbles]

no worries yis, detroit is going to lose tonight.

i took mil thinking id have a better chance of the game finishing before cws/cle too

i wouldve picked cle though so i guess it worked out.

[pico]

streak 1

safina any other result

[yisman]

yeah, I guess it worked out for me. I'm pretty surprised the way Detroit got handled, though.

Anyway, I'll take any other result, I guess. Not really something I want to pick. Complete toss-up.

Streak -4

Atlanta Dream

[yisman]

8,000th post. Wooo!

Don't pick poker. It'll lock you out of everything.

I'm taking WNBA (Atlanta, somehow getting only 35%. Man, streakers love road teams) and then a 10 PM game.

I lost a +1 with 20 games or more.

[MexicanStallion]

Congrats Yisman. I'm working my up slowly.

Streak +5

Atlanta Dream. I think this is a solid play, plus the slight majority is on the other side.

[losturmarbles]

baseball picks i like

phillies
cubs
rays
105 or more
no lean angels/rangers
twins
no lean tigers/a's
no lean on rockies/dodgers first 4

i'll take either the cubs or phillies, then maybe the first 4 prop (it says BEFORE the 5th) so i'm assuming it's just the first 4 innings.

[yisman]

it is for just the first four. They've done this before. For some reason the streakmaster likes to use first four instead of first five. In the past, it's resulted in lines that are off. One time it was 4 or less/5 or more, even though the actual line was 4 for the first five innings.

[yisman]

Congrats Yisman. I'm working my up slowly.

Streak +5

Atlanta Dream. I think this is a solid play, plus the slight majority is on the other side.

Not slight. Funny thing is, it wasn't even close. 64.3-35.7

Once I saw 7 PM WNBA I didn't look at the rest, but here are all my picks:

1)Atlanta
2)Atlanta
3)Chicago
4)TB
5)104 or less
6)Texas
7)Minnesota
8)Detroit
9)Complete toss-up. 3 or less, I guess

[shhhhh22]

Damn Dream Killed my 5 game streak.... This is why women belong in the kitchen!

Streak @0

Any other Result

[pico]

push

streak 2

federer any other result

[MexicanStallion]

Federer 3-0 gets me back in the green. The A's last night was a stupid pick, but anyway...

Streak +1

Passing on the tennis play. Looking for a later game

[yisman]

lost with any other result.

3 or 5 next


I'm on a horrible run of losses

[pico]

fvck

streak -1

ik start win or draw

[MexicanStallion]

Congrats on 3 or 5 sets. I was feeling Roddick in 4. I just passed though. I do need Roddick to win though to help me cash.

[shhhhh22]

Streak 0

Chicago White Sox.

[yisman]

Streak 2.

Since I may only get in one pick if I take one of the 7 PM baseball games anyway, I decided to just take Calgary.

If St. Louis/San Fran had a chance to end in time, I'd take them, but I'm just going to treat it as a one pick night. The 7 PM ones are toss-ups, and like I said, I could end up locked in with just one.


BTW, the poker thing went on forever (not unexpected), so it was graded as a push. Pretty ridiculous. Like I said, it was a bad idea to pick it.

picks:

1)Philly
2)White Sox
3)Cardinals
4)Internacional
5)Calgary
6)San Diego

[pico]

streak -2

williams 17 games or more

[yisman]

tied at 27 in the third quarter.

[MexicanStallion]

Streak -1

Serena 19+ Games

[SamsNCharge99]

Venus 2-0

[yisman]

the over was an easy win, but I skipped the Penis prop. Hell if I know what's going to happen in that one.

Streak at 1.

BTW, Pinnacle has it -155/+143 favoring it. I typically would not pass up such odds with a streak of less than 3, but here I am.

[yisman]

now they finally pushed the time back an hour.

So it's this or soccer.

Not feeling good about either one.

[yisman]

Sutjeska and then the non-distillery. Two soccer.

I was considering taking Tiger under, but then I'd miss the opportunity to fade a distillery.

[pico]

streak 1

any other result

[yisman]

lost with Sutjeska. That was a mistake, with two obvious ones coming up (fade distillery and under 26.5), but I was only at 1. Now I'm at 0.

[yisman]

It's a shame the distillery match wasn't earlier. That was a gimme (they're down 4-0 already) and then I would've been able to pick the other gimme: h/r/e prop. I hate it when the two easiest picks of the day are in the same timeslot.

My goal is to get to .500 in soccer picks. I'm at .333.

OTOH, I'm at .662 for MLB. Very nearly twice the percentage of soccer.

So far I've picked 19 different categories. I could've added poker, but it's pointless to pick poker.

[MexicanStallion]

Nice job with the bases Yisman. Below is my breakdown.

Hockey 1-0
MMA 1-0

CSoft 4-2
