pico: espn streak for cash picks thread.

streak -1

dan henderson

[yisman]

so I was thinking about picking, but there was nothing worth an 8 streak. I considered Logano and the Fever.

Both won easily. Oh well.

[MexicanStallion]

You should have gone with your leans. You have been hot this month.

[yisman]

Maybe.

Do I risk the 8 streak on either of the UFC bouts? Any advice?

[losturmarbles]

i would go with lesner but youre a lot more cautious than me.

frank mir could still be hurt and lesner is a big son' bitch, mir will have to trap him into a submission to win imo.

[yisman]

I would say Lesnar to win, but yeah, I probably don't want to risk it on fighting.

Unless other people are really sure or something.

I think I'll take Cilic in the morning instead.

[MexicanStallion]

I really like Brock to win. I can kick myself though for today. I should be on a streak of 5 going with Brock for 6. Just stupid mistake to forget about it today. I took Henderson, so now streak +1.

[pico]

streak 1

lesner

[yisman]

I tracked the line movement and decided to stay away.

I'd be kicking myself if I lost a big streak on fighting, which I know very little about.

I expect Lesnar to win, but Mir is an elite fighter as well.

[losturmarbles]

lesnar is a winner

[yisman]

Lesnar dominated. Oh well.

Man, I hate fighting. The fighters are such ##@&#s. I can't root for any of them.

[MexicanStallion]

I tried to help you out with Lesnar. I don't blame you though since you don't know MMA. I think I will ride your Cilic pick for tomorrow.

[yisman]

I keep getting cold feet. This is only the second time I've gotten this high.

Stricker and Cilic are the ones I like this morning.

Haven't made a pick in days. Funny thing is, like 7 out of the 8 I seriously considered ended up winning.

streak 2

cin reds

[yisman]

Atletico and then San Antonio.

[MexicanStallion]

Streak +3

Los Angeles Dodgers

Thanks for the Cilic pick Yis. Not sure why you didnt play that one ha. Like I said you have been hot this month with games you just run through and point out what you like. Good luck though with the streak.

[losturmarbles]

streak +1

i picked milw

[MexicanStallion]

Streak +4.. should be +8

I will probably pass on the last two. I like the Lynx +7, but not sure about straight up. Seems like Stars shoudl win it and I think the Cards hoping for a split on the double header today.

Streak +3

Thanks for the Cilic pick Yis. Not sure why you didnt play that one ha. Like I said you have been hot this month with games you just run through and point out what you like. Good luck though with the streak.

I really should've, but I get over-conservative.

Anyway, streak at 9. I didn't even get to track the soccer game because of softball, but Atletico won easily.

I think I'm going to take San Antonio next.

[MexicanStallion]

If you risk on San Antonio I will probably do the same then.

You can watch as long as you have an NBA.com account, which is free.

streak -1

cards

[MexicanStallion]

There is still time in the game, but looks like the Stars are going down. The only positive is that I should be able to win a nice bet with Lynx +7. I figured the Stars would win straight up, but close for me to cash my bet and extend my streak. On to the next..

streak 1

victor tennis

[yisman]

that's a shame.

I still feel that it was the right pick, but that's how sports is, especially WNBA.

I can't believe I didn't make the magic 10 number. I wanted the next star level.

So now I've hit 9 twice and I hit 15 of 16 picks. What a run. Both of the recent long streaks were broken by WNBA.

I watched the replay. Houston on Minnesota is good, but she's fugly. Wow.

Need help for tonight. I want to get in two picks.

Any of the first four should be done in time for the late pick, but I don't know what to pick.

Streak at 1.

[losturmarbles]

i picked 16 or more, just on a whim.

i started to go with any other contestant.

Austin Boehme (7/13/2009 at 2:17 PM) Report whats the pitchers ERA?
You are an utter disgust to sports fans everywhere for asking one of the most #### questions I've seen on here


===


Epic fail. First the idiot asks about ERA, and then the guy ripping him spells "disgrace" wrong.






Blake Griffin prop will likely not be over in time.

The homer ones are all tough.

Don't want to pick Pujols/Howard vs. the field.

I'd lean 15 or fewer for homers, but who knows? Someone could get hot.


Another utter moron chimes in:

PittNathan (7/13/2009 at 4:41 PM)
You all realize this mean 6+ hit in the final round, not total for the Derby? with 97.5% taking the over, I really have to wonder.. a LOT of people are going to lose their streaks tonight on this prop... Historical stats tell the truth on this one.


=============

I can't even begin to describe the stupidity emanating from that post.

[yisman]

well, this is frustrating.

Griffin made it to 16 before 9:30, but I wasn't sure about how that game would work, so I took 15 or fewer.

Turns out the basketball prop was the only thing that unlocked in time.

A lot of this is because the derby started like 20 minutes after the listed lock time.

At least I'm not going for monthly wins.

[MexicanStallion]

I went with 15 and under first round HR, but they never bothered to unlock it.

[yisman]

^ It was for all three rounds. You just about never see it outside of the first, but they were within their rights to keep it locked.

Anyway, Cavendish is about a 1/1 bet to take stage 10.

I hate skipping picks, but I have to skip this one.

answer the dam question do yall think this will be done before the 2nd tennis prop?

I could care less this guy Cavendish is the best sprinter.
He's ridden 9 stages and he's an 1 hour & 34 minutes behind.
There are 150 or so other cyclists.
I'm not convinced Cavendish wants this win as much as the other good sprinters closer to the lead.
This is an extremely safe bet. I'd risk ANY STREAK on "Any Other Cyclist".

streak 3

Masa Zec Peskiric

[MexicanStallion]

Good call Yis. I thought it was for the first round when I was reading it, but yeah it was any round. No big deal. I will probably go with Any other Cyclist for tomorrow.

[yisman]

streak 2

Going with Z because I'm not skipping two in a row.
