In order to ~~sucker~~ get more people in, I wouldn't mind allowing people to join during the month as long as they don't have a winning streak when they do. Would be extra work for Mexi , but really, it shouldn't be difficult to save up 20 points.

i agree with this.

as long as they join the new group, it shouldn't be too hard to account for them.

mex, you might have to or want to create a new espn group each month

agreed. we discussed this previously, and I think as long as they have no advantage, they should be allowed to join at any time.

the advantage would be if they had gotten a streak that would put them in the lead, or an active one of at least 5 (seems like a reasonable number. Less than that wouldn't be a big deal). You can make that number lower, but I don't think an active streak of, say, 1 or 2 is of any concern or much of an advantage.

Don't like the idea of allowing people to join anytime in the month. Maybe a lil more promotion before the new month starts would help.

yisman · 07-01-10, 06:12 PM

There's this thread which is usually on the first page of Players Talk, and Mex posts the points thread a few days before the new month. So PT people should see it.

I just don't get why we've lost so many people who had been participating in the first one or two months.

I hope it's not points. If people need points, I can send Mex the entry fee for you and you can pay me back 21 points (3 days X 7 a day). This goes for every month.

losturmarbles · 07-01-10, 08:25 PM

can you guys edit your posts? or is it just me?

MexicanStallion · 07-01-10, 08:27 PM

No editing on my end.

MexicanStallion · 07-01-10, 09:06 PM

Oakland didn't finish in time. Finished seconds after the WNBA game started. I wanted Mercury, but have to go with Silver Stars for the other game. I was going to take the Sky, but felt Oakland was a better win.

yisman · 07-01-10, 09:29 PM

cfl game is dragging on forever with the OT

I figured I'd get in the Silver Stars, but now it looks like I won't.

yisman · 07-01-10, 09:38 PM

this couldn't possibly get any worse

brutal loss in OT, unlocks at 10:36, last game (one of the easier picks you'll find on SftC) locks at 10:35

go sparks, I guess

lordswing · 07-01-10, 11:02 PM

New plan to get rich

1. find biggest SftC WNBA favorite
2. pick the favorite in the WNBA game for SftC
3. put down live savings on the underdog ML

poor job by Suckmaster today. Maybe they felt they want people to watch potential extra time, but both World Cup games were perfect for win vs. win/draw. Making it to advance is far too slanted.

yisman · 07-02-10, 10:02 AM

argh, forgot to take Murray

just locked

with my luck it would've lost anyway

Lucanicky, Jasonal, and Blindspoon are not in it for July.

yisman · 07-02-10, 02:31 PM

thanks mexi

I think I'm off to my worse start to a month ever.

I took Uruguay and they're down a goal.

I doubt I'll be winning tiebreakers this month

lordswing · 07-02-10, 03:19 PM

have faith with Uruguay

MexicanStallion · 07-02-10, 11:15 PM

I wanted San Diego, but the Mets win did not unlock in time. Seconds after just like last night.

losturmarbles · 07-05-10, 05:36 PM

If Cubs hurry up and finish, I'll take the Reds at 7. If not, Yanks late. Although I should probably pick some of the props first considering I don't have a streak.

yisman · 07-05-10, 05:38 PM

This month is a disaster. I managed two W3s so far, but that ain't going to win me no medals.

On D-Backs, expecting red, but this is going to take too long to pick 7 PM.

The 4:10 options were garbage, but considering my struggles last night, I had to pick one and hope it ended quickly.

MexicanStallion · 07-05-10, 08:26 PM

Juan Castro gave me the red with his two out single. I've been reading through some discussions lately and I like how people think these are rigged props.

yisman · 07-05-10, 08:28 PM

that sucked.

They nailed them trying to squeeze the guy home, the no pickers went "whew, that was a close one", and then the next guy hits a bouncer that gets through the infield.

We were almost out of the woods there.

Debating taking Oakland. I'll be rooting for them either way.

losturmarbles · 07-05-10, 08:43 PM

yeah i'm switching to Oak. I bet 'em, might as well pick 'em too.

MexicanStallion · 07-06-10, 11:03 AM

Taylor gave me points, but he is on a W5 right now. I think somebody here mentioned that it would be the cut off for somebody getting in, so just getting feedback with the rest.

Cabo · 07-06-10, 11:26 AM

I agree with someone from an above post, no more entries once the month had started.

yisman · 07-06-10, 11:27 AM

I don't think he should be allowed in.

An active W5 and he waited until he had it.

Yeah I think 5 is a little high, but I'm sure we will have at least W10. Seems like every month.

tltaylor89 · 07-06-10, 01:14 PM

Let
me in

tltaylor89 · 07-06-10, 01:15 PM

Why was I refunded

yisman · 07-06-10, 01:16 PM

taylor, you know why. You waited until you had a good streak before you sent the points.

I'm ok with giving the benefit of the doubt to someone with a legit excuse, but that's not the case here.

This is like waiting until after the first quarter ends in a football game and then trying to bet the original line.
