pico: espn streak for cash picks thread.

[SamsNCharge99]

Lefty w/ a Par...streak of 6

[SamsNCharge99]

Sadly, I'm going w/ LLWS bet and San Antonio only based on betting odds of the game...sad but true.

Then, going w/ ICHIRO any other result

[losturmarbles]

i picked the lynx wnba, risking streak of 3

lol at the Moron in Charge waiting until late to add more options. It's unfair to people who pick the day based on what's up in the morning.


also, thanks for the good wishes, bestplay2day. I'll do my best.

[MexicanStallion]

Streak -1
Arizona Cardinals

[yisman]

I'll be the first to insult myself if I lose my streak tonight, but I'm taking Little League. San Antonio.

It hurts just to type this.

[yisman]

Little League Favorite:

22
two 19s

Pittsburgh Steelers*:

17

Indiana Fever:

two 19s


*- it's even more impressive than Little League when you have people risking significant streaks on preseason games.

http://streak.espn.go.com/entryStats?entryID=1629988

That's the current monthly leader and he didn't pick Little League. That's going to hurt, seeing as the vast majority of the people going for the monthly did get the pick in.

Must pick for monthly because it'll end in time for the Ichiro prop.

[losturmarbles]

good luck yis

[yisman]

haha, by the time I got to a TV, SA was down 4-1.

Not looking good.

I had to pick it because 5 Dimes listed closing odds of SA -530.

I was originally going to skip it when they were -250 or so, but the line kept rising like a Jennie Finch pitch.

[losturmarbles]

you couldve probably bet $20 on that game and the line wouldve moved lol

[yisman]

SA's starter got bounced after getting six outs.

Then the reliever quickly hurt his arm, so now some scrub is coming in.

This is bad.

[yisman]

you couldve probably bet $20 on that game and the line wouldve moved lol

haha, yeah. In hindsight, I shouldn't have put stock in the line considering the low limits and the level of interest in it.

[SamsNCharge99]

down 4-3 and still 2nd and 3rd...top 5

[yisman]

San Antonio up 5-4!

[SamsNCharge99]

DO WORk San Antonio

[yisman]

1 run lead after 5.

I don't even think I'm making smart picks at this point. I've had runs where I was very careful and lost anyway.

Luck beats skill in building a streak every time.

Most of the guys on the leaderboard are not actually that good at this.

I just hope I can somehow be lucky again and get a W12.

BC pitcher nearly hit the first SA batter of the 6th in the head.

[yisman]

Solo shot!

6-4 SA!

[SamsNCharge99]

I'll have 7 streak.,...maybe any other result...if not not much I like tomorrow at 1st looks

[yisman]

I win. First time ever that a SA team is going to the LLWS.

Last two props are too risky.

[yisman]

CC Sabathia hits. I don't know what's gotten into me.

[SamsNCharge99]

i gambled and went CC hits

[yisman]

ha, two big streaks in our group on this one. I actually like Seattle for the upset, but I realized this too late. +180 close at Bodog.

Jack Wilson is both starting AND on the bench. Finally a successful cloning operation!

[yisman]

70.8% on Ks, oddly enough.

Quick 1-0 lead for Ks after a groundout and Gutierrez a backwards K.

http://streak.espn.go.com/entryStats?entryID=1357818

17 gamer on Ks

[yisman]

ugh, Lopez strikes out too.

2-0 lead for Ks.

[SamsNCharge99]

this is what happens when we force picks Yisman

should have stuck with what I wanted to do

[yisman]

yep. For some reason I have no patience today. It didn't make sense to make another pick today after getting to 12 for the first time ever.

I didn't spend enough time researching the pick either. Five minutes.

I still think it was the right pick, but it wasn't worth a double digit streak.

[SamsNCharge99]

fukking A....2 walks and 4 Ks....this is OVER

****

[SamsNCharge99]

3 days working on a streak and just to fall on a dumb pick like this.....

and thats only for a 7 streak...

[yisman]

Yankees win in a rout and I lose in a rout. I wish I could forfeit and take AOR for Ichiro.

[MexicanStallion]

Streak -2
Any other result Ichiro

[yisman]

So CC basically duplicated his numbers from the Boston game.

[yisman]

streak 0

David Toms

[MexicanStallion]

Streak +1
Phil

[pico]

streak -1

david tomes

[yisman]

The Moron in Charge listed Mickelson/Toms as round 1 instead of round 2. He changed the prop AFTER it ended. Obviously people knew that it must be referring to round 2, but the guy is a complete moron.

McIlroy wrecked Furyk. I should've stuck with that instead of switching to soccer.

Soccer is tied at the half.

All three of my leans today have been w/d. One won, one lost, and one is pending.
