NEW Streak for the Cash

[Optional]

Should have waited for some soccer. Could have been an exciting last few days as I looked for #11.

[lordswing]

another wasted day, time is running out for me to catch up to yis

[yisman]

damn, felt I had to pick with a W1

choice of 3

my picks were zona +9.5, passing TD, and kings

picked the only one of the three that lost.

[losturmarbles]

Anyone bet Manhattan su +1300?

I only bet them at +17 ...they're keeping it close.

[losturmarbles]

SM waited until 6:05 exactly to grade the 5:47 2H TD prop. The TD happened about 10 minutes prior. Locked people out from picking in the okl st/mur st ncaab game that started at 6:05.

[losturmarbles]

well I guess he went back and unlocked that game since it was delayed to start... wasn't paying attention. Manhattan ended up losing by 3, they took the lead there for a little bit in the 2H, but gave it back in the last few minutes. Almost a +1300 winner.

[yisman]

the second half touchdown lines are almost always set far too high, including tonight, but the overs hit at an unnatural rate.


lost another streak. W2 this time.

Since starting off really badly, I've been really hot this month, but I've been unable to attain a really long streak.

[revnecro1273]

haven't seen actual totals for monday yet, but can the seton hall/st peters game really be assessed at 122.5?

[yisman]

since they post it well before vegas posts the totals, it's probably way off.

[yisman]

total is 119.5. they were close

[lordswing]

total is 119.5. they were close

pretty impressive imo

*insert rumor of SM being a linemaker*

[yisman]

One close one doesn't excuse 9 bad ones!

[yisman]

Real Madrid was initially a slight favorite on the +.5 line, but late money on Barca made it almost exactly a PK.

By the way, guys on the SftC discussion board keep promoting this dead bunny guy. I checked out his blog today and found him screaming about how good a .500 record is.

Considering that SftC sometimes posts clear favorites on soccer, you have to be awful to be .500.

ONE LAST THING, MY SOCCER AVERAGE IS NEVER GOING TO BE GREAT, SIMPLY BY THE FACT THAT I MAKE A PICK ON JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE SOCCER PROP OFFERED ON SFTC. YOU TRY PICKING EVERY PROP OFFERED ON ONE INDIVIDUAL SPORT ON SFTC (E.G. COLLEGE HOOPS) THEN SEE HOW WELL YOU DO IN ONE MONTH. SO TO THOSE THAT MOAN ABOUT SOMEONES AVERAGE ON ONE SPORT, THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTHS AND JUDGE FROM HOW MANY GAMES SOMEONE HAS PICKED FROM ONE PARTICULAR SPORT BUT THEN AGAIN I GUESS SOME OUT THERE STILL STRUGGLE TO UNDERSTAND THIS. THE BLOG I PRODUCE IS JUST AN AID IN HELPING OTHERS WITH THIR PICKS, REMEMBER THAT BEFORE CRITISISING.

Capitalization and spelling like BEANTOWNJIM is another indicator of limited intellect.

I'm pretty sure my career SftC soccer record is over 55%.

[revnecro1273]

wow...i can't believe that seton hall total is that low

[yisman]

they nailed the closing line.

wowowowowowowow

Pinnacle at 122.5

that's impressive

[losturmarbles]

I sent a pm to Mexi to get the December thread started. Didn't someone say he's posting/moderating somewhere else now?

Hopefully he'll check in soon.

[yisman]

he's not moderating anywhere else, as far as I know

he just sometimes disappears for a few days

you guys missed the amazing first half Gore prop

W20 was riding on it, the only one with a chance to catch the inactive 23

gore got 52 of the 55 needed in the first quarter and then took himself out

[losturmarbles]

LOL that is pretty funny. I didn't even think about that (Gore abruptly took himself out of the game)

I bet that W20 guy is still steaming That's a fukked up way to bust

[odtw524]

IM ready for the new month to start

[yisman]

that prop sealed the 100K.

Incredible way for a month to be decided.

Solid chance the W20 guy would've busted out anyway, but man oh man.

Worst part about it is there's no "well, it's ok, he hedged it for money."

No way to hedge such a pick.

If I had to roll the dice late like that, I'd want to hedge it out at least partially. You couldn't do the full amount, but maybe 1 or 2 K.

[revnecro1273]

why would someone risk a streak of that length on a fricking half prop? yeah he needed 4 correct picks to take the lead, but he had plenty of time...could have gotten 5 picks in by end of tomorrow if taking full games

[yisman]

http://streak.espn.go.com/en/entryStats?entryID=3224619

he/she only needed three, because they had the tiebreaker.

http://streak.espn.go.com/en/entryStats?entryID=1194074

won his first 20 of the month before losing one and quitting

[yisman]

damn, I was going to try for 8 to win the other pool I'm in, but as of now, only 3 picks possible and I'm at 4.

[mikejamm]

Looks like my measly W10 is gonna hold up this month! lol! I can't believe I finally won one of these things! Nice competition everybody. Good luck in December!

[lordswing]

congrats yis, i don't believe cabo is able to catch up to you for the month

i am open for another side pot for the month of december if anyone is interested

[Cabo]

Yis - Congrats on the side wager!. I'm also in again with you and Lordswings for December if you want.

Congrats Mike!


What's happening with the December contest?

[yisman]

yes I am in for the December side pool, Cabo and lordswing. Same terms.

I guess I'll start a thread for the general December pool because I don't know where Mexi went.

sweet, another month of passive aggressiveness against you, can't wait!

December SFTC Contest here

[losturmarbles]

Lol Hope Mex is ok. Strange he's been picking at espn. maybe he's having trouble connecting to the site here. who knows...

congrats mike. hopefully mex will be able to send you your points lol

I covered your december entry, the only poster that reached 10.

[Cabo]

yes I am in for the December side pool, Cabo and lordswing. Same terms.

[mikejamm]

Thanks Marbles and everybody. Yeah man, I was wondering that too, what's up with Mex? Not like him to not be around near the end of the month. You guys were talking about the guy who had the win 20 and lost it, did you see the two dudes who both had a W22 and they both blew it on the Pittsburgh Steelers winning margin pick! WTF? Gambling a 100 grand on an NFL prop involving 4 different teams? That's just nuts! And to top it off, they both had higher winning percentages, so all they had to do was tie and this months winner, that Rogster fella, would have been kicked down to third! I would've been crying in my beer over that one! Strange and crazy game this streak for the cash is!

[mikejamm]

Hey Yis, Cabo, and Lords, what is the side bet thing you guys got going on? Can I get in on that? Yis, did you say you started an entry thread for Dec? Is it under the handicapping contest category? Thanks guys.

[yisman]

mike, you're already in the main pool. marbles paid for you because you hit 10 in November.

The side pool is a three way thing I've been doing with lordswing and Cabo. Losers pay winner 150.

damn, I was going to try for 8 to win the other pool I'm in, but as of now, only 3 picks possible and I'm at 4.

Going to miss out on a chance to win about $35 because the Suckmaster wouldn't put up more matchups in different timeslots.

I'm at a W5 now and I hold the tiebreaker over the leader, who has 8.

====================
Thanks Yis, I totally forgot about marbles putting up the entry for a 10 streak. Yeah, man Streakmiser puts up a 2:45pm soccer pick as the first match up! And then the next one isn't until 7:00! That was total crap for the last day of picks! He usually throws a bunch of stuff up there on the last day of the month.
