Oak -128
CWS -125

Due to the small turnout for today's games, I'm changing my play yet again to this chalky two-teamer. Hoping for one point.

Det -201
NYY -173

Thanks sickler! I was sleepin'.

sickler · 09-01-09, 10:06 PM

No prob, MrX...I had the scoreboard on one of the tabs.

There are early afternoon games on Wednesday (noonish). I don't see a thread. We need some lines.

MrX · 09-01-09, 10:31 PM

MrX · 09-01-09, 10:42 PM

I'll make a new thread for the big showdown on Thursday.

That is, if sickler hasn't mathematically eliminated the competition by then!

sickler · 09-01-09, 10:50 PM

MrX, it was a brutal night overall for contest parlays. My very chalky two-teamer hit. Other than that, only one other can win.

Looks like another chalky two-teamer for me on Wednesday. Everyone else has to go all out.

MrX · 09-01-09, 10:57 PM

I should have mentioned it before, but I'm only allowing picks on the last day from players that can still tie or win.

yisman · 09-01-09, 11:05 PM

dammit, I should've taken chalk.

Fair enough. It doesn't make sense for anyone to post their parlays if they can't win or tie. Right now everyone is still alive.

Wednesday's play:

NYY -220
STL -255

Hotxswim · 09-01-09, 11:17 PM

Atl -149
nyy -220
cub -213

yisman · 09-01-09, 11:22 PM

I think there's a mistake with the Boston/TB line.

anyway:

DET -144
STL -255

Yeah, it should be:

Bos +104
Tampa -112

MrX appears to be using Pinny line (8 cent)

EmpireMaker · 09-01-09, 11:40 PM

Min +130
nyy -220
sea -124

MrX · 09-02-09, 12:16 AM

Tuesday's results:

Brutal. Only two winning parlays today.

EmpireMaker: 3 points (+382)
sickler: 2 points (+136)

Current standings:

sickler: 5 points
EmpireMaker: 3 points
FrozenMAN: 2 points
MexicanStallion: 1 point

Day games tomorrow. Get your picks in before 12:35 Eastern. Good luck.

sickler · 09-02-09, 12:24 AM

Empiremaker pulled it out.

That changes my strategy for tomorrow. Will be going bigger. If anyone wants the piddly parlay I posted it will be available tomorrow morning once I decide what to do.

yisman · 09-02-09, 11:33 AM

I believe it's locked now. First game about to start.

sickler · 09-02-09, 06:38 PM

Holy crap, not much participation today. Everyone still had a chance.

I wasn't online earlier, couldn't change my play. I'm stuck with it and Sabathia is stinking up the ballpark.

MexicanStallion · 09-02-09, 06:48 PM

I'm eliminated now. Thanks for the generous contest Mr.X

MrX · 09-02-09, 07:25 PM

You're welcome MexicanStallion. Thanks for playing.

Tomorrow's lines are up in a new thread:

sickler · 09-02-09, 10:56 PM

The fat lady appears to be singing. Today was the final day.

It would've been more interesting if more posters put plays in today. Most just threw in the towel.

yisman · 09-02-09, 11:03 PM

Today wasn't the final day.

Anyway, my parlay won. I'm still alive.

sickler · 09-02-09, 11:14 PM

Yisman, I have 7 points. The next closest has 3.

Mathematically impossible.

MrX · 09-02-09, 11:17 PM

Today's results:

yisman: 3 points (+135)
sickler: 2 points (+102)

Standings:

sickler: 7 points
yisman: 3 points
EmpireMaker: 3 points
FrozenMAN: 2 points
MexicanStallion: 1 point

Sickler has indeed mathematically eliminated the field. Tough to beat a guy who picks 7-0. Good job sickler.

PM me with an address and I'll send you the goods ASAP. Congratulations and well played, sir!

sickler · 09-02-09, 11:25 PM

Thanks, MrX. Ironically, while browsing the SBR store I've taken a liking to the hat and Tommy Bahama shirt but have been giving all my points away. I will use the stuff.

Heading to PM you the info.
