NEW Streak for the Cash

[yisman]

you can bet them in baseball.

Tonight I left when they were down 4-2. I came back and they were up 9-7. They had just hit a grand slam.

[MexicanStallion]

I have a .643 winning percentage and four winning streaks of at least 5 and it's looking bleak for me now.

In this group there's a W6 and two W5s (Mexi, are you glad you didn't give up), and in another group I'm in for money, there's an active W7.

Hustle and myself need to get 3 in a row to take the lead. You should be a lock for winning %. I am disappointing I did not get St. Louis tonight. I had Reds early and forgot to make my next pick which was St. Louis. I then realize I forgot 3 innings in. Still a week to go though for anybody to get in it.

[yisman]

unless Paraguay scores here, like 85% of the active leaderboard will go down.

[MexicanStallion]

You have nothing to worry about from me now. World Cup blows.

[lordswing]

We'll be able to get in a couple of NBA draft picks it seems, guess a lot of people complained about the NFL draft locking all the picks.

[lordswing]

Cousins@5 is 60% with juice taken out

[lordswing]

Bodog only has ACC/Big 12 players listed for the 10th pick, so that's what I'm going with.

Ed Davis +150
Ekpe Udoh +150
Avery Bradley +325
Xavier Henry +350

[yisman]

yeah they're letting us get the different picks in this time.

NFL Draft was ridiculous the way they locked so many at the same time.

I did take Cousins and I'll go with what you said for the next one.

For some reason I can't get the discussions to load. None of them are showing up for me.

I just get this, with no comments there:

[lordswing]

discussions load fine for me, I plan on checking back after the 6th pick to make sure those 4 guys are still on the board.

[lordswing]

Winner winner

And eff it, still going with ACC/Big 12, at worst there will be 3 players left

[yisman]

this is what Bodog had the odds at:

2010 NBA Draft - Who will be the 5th Player drafted in the NBA Draft?

Final
Greg Monroe

+215
Al-Farouq Aminu

+800
DeMarcus Cousins

-325
Cole Aldrich

+1200


wow -325

[lordswing]

There's a ton of juice though, 27%. And that's how I got the 60% number.

[yisman]

ok, discussion is working for me again.

According to the people posting comments, it could be several guys, and only one or two are ACC/Big 12

[losturmarbles]

discussion doesnt load for me sometimes too. it's on espn's side. normally a refresh will get it to load.

[lordswing]

Do you see any odds on the 20th pick or Luke? Bodog only has up to the 10th pick.

[yisman]

yeah, it depends if the number shows up next to

Discuss (119

now it is

I switched to AOC.


Check 5 Dimes or The Greek for odds?

Bodog usually has this stuff more than other sites but it's worth a shot.

[lordswing]

Nope, they don't have it. Should've checked before the draft started, meh.

[yisman]

I had a rough time deciding between Harangody 2nd round and the Angels.

I eventually took the Angels so I can shut off the draft, which is pretty boring. Besides, I have no good info on whether Harangody will go or not. He's projected to go in the last few picks by the mocks that have him being picked. Maybe Indiana. Maybe not.

[HustleGetPaid]

Don't like the fact the ESPN called the Wall, Turner, Johnson or any other NBA Draft prop as a push. I chose any other but they pulled it off the board.

[yisman]

yeah, they yanked it because of reports that Favors would be third.

Those reports ended up being accurate.

They probably should've let it stand. It wasn't set in stone.

[losturmarbles]

Don't like the fact the ESPN called the Wall, Turner, Johnson or any other NBA Draft prop as a push. I chose any other but they pulled it off the board.

i saw that too. pointless to put the prop up there if you're going to cancel it like that.

if there had been no reports of teams indecisive, the order wouldve been about a 90% lock. with the Favor reports, any other order 90% lock. so why put the prop up, if you didn't want people paying attention and watching espn draft to find out either way.

[yisman]

well, this sucks.

Dodgers plate 4 in the 4th and Harangody went 52nd.

Him going in the second round was a huge public pick.

[HustleGetPaid]

Damn was leaning take Harangody being drafted but stayed away from it, fukk!!!

[yisman]

yeah I can't believe I didn't take it because I didn't want to watch the draft.

Angels making dumb baserunning decisions all night and are going to lose.

[yisman]

I really hurt myself by taking the Angels over Harangody.

Report
This just in........since espn reported that Kohlschreiber has a chance to win 1 set out of the first three,sftc cancelled the pick.

[lordswing]

damn it, just missed Beaversky, knowing my luck, it wouldn't have ended well

[MexicanStallion]

Fun Fact: I am 4-12 in the World Cup.

[lordswing]

Dang, Argentina knocked down from -200 to -153 right now, passing for the day

[yisman]

I didn't think Argentina was a safe bet anyway, regardless of the odds.

It would've been a tough decision had they been -200, but I probably would've passed anyway.

Mexi keeps fighting back and getting good streaks. This is the third time, I think.

[yisman]

most of the leaderboard and the two W7s in the points pool took Argentina.

[yisman]

repeat of last month for me.

Close but no cigar...

[yisman]

I'm leaning towards going with the Union.

Too bad no draw option. That would result in a push, which I don't mind.

[MexicanStallion]

I had W7, W5, and W8 (Current)

[MexicanStallion]

You need 2 to regain the lead depending on what myself and Hustle do.

I don't think I have a play. If I did, it would be Netherlands.

[yisman]

Mexi I've had more.

as to your second post, it's a lost cause. I could conceivably catch one, but to catch both is rather unlikely.
