pico: espn streak for cash picks thread.

[yisman]

the first tennis match got pushed back so it's starting after the second one. Too bad. If it had started at the original time, I probably would've been able to pick both.

I just switched to Vives.

Anyway, they scored the cycling one incorrectly. Cavendish won, but they marked it as AOC won.

[yisman]

and now they marked it as a push. Dumbasses.

I'll pick soccer, I guess, even though it's a toss-up.

Actually, I won't. No idea on that and the odds are about even.

[yisman]

shonee86 Entry - shonee861818Young Boys Win or Draw58-56-7
He put an 18 streak on the little boys. What a fool.

Anyway, not sure how to do it tonight. You can probably get six picks in if they unlock in time.

WNBA first half will be over before 8.

Then you can pick the first pitch.

Then you can pick first run.

Then 3rd inning.

Then 5th inning.

Then you can pick the closers prop or the 11 PM one.

[yisman]

ugh, I blew it.

The win/draw won and since I was only at 2, I decided I had to maximize my picks. I liked the Sun a lot more than the under, but I knew the under would be over in time for the first pitch, so I took the under and lost.

[losturmarbles]

i picked NL to score first

[pico]

push

streak 3

pujos's glove

[yisman]

yeah I also took his glove. Then I'll pick the props and see if I can get a lot of picks in.

My % will go down, but maybe I'll have the most monthly wins in our group.

[cankid]

[quote=yisman;1702858]golf is the worst for streak for the cash. NASCAR and tennis also suck.

I agree with you

[pico]

streak 4

no run 3rd inning

[yisman]

risked a streak of 2 on 1+ runs in the 3rd.

not looking good, though

pico, I don't think risking 3+ on this is the right move.

[pico]

risked a streak of 2 on 1+ runs in the 3rd.

pico, I don't think risking 3+ on this is the right move.

i am a gambler by heart.

streak 5

al more runs or tie 5th inning...i think they're gonna tie

[yisman]

streak of 0

and same as you, pico. I don't see how anyone could take the NL here. When you're getting the tie (most likely outcome), you gotta take it.

[pico]

single to start off, not bad

[yisman]

not sure what to pick with the rivera/papelbon prop. Could easily be a push.

Also not sure if we can get the last one in. What if Rivera pitches the 9th?

streak at 1 after tie won, as expected.

[pico]

streak 6

last out fly out ground out

[yisman]

also taking g/f over k. that doesn't cover all the possibilities, though.

should've been:

g/f

OR

Anything else

[pico]

also taking g/f over k. that doesn't cover all the possibilities, though.

i guess if it is a fielder's choice, it is a push?

[yisman]

nah, but there are other ways to record outs. Runner/batter interfering, etc.

Anyway, Argentina and Cavendish are the obvious early picks. I wish I could take both.

-668/+547 on Field hockey.

Can't find odds for Cavendish to finish top 3, but he's listed at Bet US as +185 to take the stage, making him the favorite. I have to imagine top 3 would be -400 to -500.

[pico]

streak 7

i;ll take argentina -710 chalk pick.

[pico]

streak 8

jodie meeks. i think he is more consistent

[yisman]

They added a WNBA game at the last minute and I barely missed it.

It wasn't on the board a few hours ago. I'd take the home team.

Streak at 3.

Well, this is an interesting addition and at an interesting time...The Silver Stars beat the Lynx on the road, but are now just 1-4 away from S.A. The general rule of thumb is to take the home team in the WNBA and considering the SS have been beaten pretty badly in their 4 road losses, I will most likely go with the Mystics here.

The discussion is currently a huge argument over whether a default soccer game's total is decided by 90 + injury time or 90 + injury time + extra time.

Matchup of the day is a minor league all star game. Haha. Maybe it would've been the South American soccer championship game, but ESPN doesn't have the rights to it.

went like 50 minutes without a goal and they just had two quick ones. Uhoh...

there went my streak. Third goal scored at like 72 minutes.

I wish they would've scored three in the first half if they were going to do that.

dammit. I was hoping Furyk golf prop would be done before soccer.

Hacken would've been an easy pick.
