      Fishhead pulled one out of his ass tonight. Good job pal. Just got home and saw he won 3.10 units to take him from down 3.0 to up 0.10. There's one game left on the board so I had to play it. Now I see he popped in after me and played it also!

      I hope you took LBSU Fishy. I got Loyola Marymount. Guess I'll find out in 10 minutes.

        Alright. Fishhead's got the under 153.5 and I've got Loyola Marymount +1.5.

        Hell of a match either way Fishy. We are currently #1 and #2 on the overall leaderboard. Shame one of us has to bow out after this, but good luck.

          You've basically got a 25% shot. You got the same odds on your picks and pushes aren't possible. There are 4 possible outcomes - and only one works for you. You win your pick and he loses his. Otherwise you are sunk. Good luck.

          I'm waiting for the winner.

            Yeah, I know. I need to hit a two teamer in effect. I like my chances better on the over. I have a model that has this game going into the mid 160's, which is about where it opened. It's been pounded down to 153 at close so any real value in the under was gone before he played it.

            I wish I had looked at it longer but I felt like I was flipping a coin so I just went with the home team basically. I also wish I'd waited until a couple minutes before the game went off instead of giving him 15 minutes to see I'd made a pick.

            Fishhead I guess you're too cool or too hurt to post in this thread but it's obvious you are following this like a hawk.

            Whatever... good luck.

              The scoring pace is a bit slow at the 3/4 pole but it's a close game so who knows what kind of wild finish could be in store?

              Heading to bed now so I guess I'll see in the morning how it unfolded. That lousy tenth of a point is looming large.

                What an exciting finish with the last game on the board for the night.

                          Fishhead made a monster charge. I should have known. I had a feeling he wasn't dead. He planned it perfectly with the Bruins +105 as his BB. Had it where he only needed to hit 2 games to take the .10 lead and he got them both.

                          I'm glad I got home in time to play the last game on the board, and my coin toss hit. And Fishy was lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce in case I played it too! Fact is he was right on the under for that game though, because it needed OT to get over. And it shouldn't have gone to OT really.

                          It took a lot of luck at the end for me. A LOT of luck.

                          I should have known a legend like Fishhead wasn't going down without a fight.

                                        Fishhead, it was not only that but honestly one of the greatest achievements of my life. This was such a huge moment for me - the culmination of a life's work.

                                        I just got off the phone with my mom. She is beside herself - overcome with emotion (as am I) and just beaming with pride.

                                        I'm not stopping here though.... not until I've reached the promised land. Anything past this is gravy, but I'm in it to win it. I'm gonna bring this home pal. For me. For mom. For you. God is so clearly on my side and I feel like there's nothing that can stop me now.

                                            Look at it this way - at least you're not up against Fishhead.

                                            Things could be worse for you.

                                                I can't believe CHET went against me. He took the picochalk and the chalk hurt Pico again like it always has when you take big chalk all the time!
                                                If it seems to good to be true it usually is!!

                                                I have a natural instinct to exploit market ineffieciencies!!

                                                  I might just pull a Pavy and blindly bet the board today. Get my 15 picks in and let God do the rest. Haven't decided yet.

                                                  You and Satan work out your strategy yet?

                                                      Still discussing it but leaning towards evil mayhem at this point.

                                                                Congrats to Sexymit and Mexican Stallion - the only one of the four matchups showing any capping skills (6-1).

                                                                The remaining 3 matchups, consisting of Mudcat, Jellyfish, Eagles, Sharky, Sammy & Smitchy share a combined record of 12-20.

                                                                Glad I took a dive against Sharky last week so I would not have to be a part of this mess.

                                                                      Mudcat used the power of the mustache to take out SBR favorite brutha man, JelloBiafra.

                                                                      Sharky and Eagles in great matchup, even tho both are minus over 4 units. Eagles holds a .10 unit lead, with both players having plays remaining on the final day of action.

                                                                      It's been a bad week for Sammy. First he only places 3rd in the coveted POTY award ceremony, then Smitchy completely dismantles him in the Power Poster tourney. Enjoy that humble pie, young'un.

                                                                      Mex Stallion and Sexymit put on the best show. It was Sexymit jumping out to a huge lead, but Mex never faltered, and eventually pulled out a tiny margin victory. Judging by Sexymit's signature, it had something to do with double OT screwing him over or something.

                                                                      Congrats to Mex, Smitch and Mudcat.
