NEW Streak for the Cash

[yisman]

Charlton win or draw was a big favorite this afternoon, as the two teams were almost even in terms of odds, and with the draw tacked on...

Anyway, they lost 2-1.

Top two streaks go down.


19
18
16
two 14s
two 13s
two 12s

so not that many, except that the top two both took it.

[yisman]

the top active streak, a W18, just lost on Boston.

The Red Sox had a 6-1 lead in the 6th, but blew it, and Detroit won in the 12th when a Ramon walked in the winning Ramon.

7-6 final

[yisman]

top active streak took yes for homer in first three innings


Some other leaderboard streaks on both sides.

[MexicanStallion]

Winning Streak is 3
Texas Rangers

[yisman]

I'm putting a 2 on the rangers

[Bluehorseshoe]

At what point do you starting hedging against yourself? I'm up to 5.

[stealthyburrito]

damn, i'm on a streak, a losing streak

[DuncHen22]

damn, i'm on a streak, a losing streak

For some reason, those seem easier to do

[HustleGetPaid]

Mex, any new updates to the leaderboard?

[yisman]

top active streak took yes for homer in first three innings Some other leaderboard streaks on both sides.

No homers for the first three and then Ortiz promptly homers at the beginning of the 4th.

At what point do you starting hedging against yourself? I'm up to 5.

not until much later

So the guy with 11 isn't in the contest, and I'm the leader? Doesn't feel safe if I am!!!

[yisman]

a lot of the leaderboard took Detroit this afternoon, including an 18 (active leader), 17, 16, nine 15s, etc.

18 seems to be the number where streaks get broken

just about every day an 18 goes down

[stealthyburrito]

For some reason, those seem easier to do

finally broke it yesterday with the pads

[yisman]

I'm at 4 after taking Millwall. I actually was considering the Tigers but backed off before first pitch. Porcello has not been himself this season, plus the line went the wrong way.

They wound up like -134 or something at Pinnacle.

Millwall wound up like -128, but they were a logical pick.

Plus there's nothing good tonight and I wouldn't want to sit at a W3 that long.


Unless you wanted to pick Magic/Celtics, the lotto prop is pointless.

What it allows you to do is get in two picks even if you want to pick the NBA game, but if you didn't specifically want that, the better choice is to avoid the lotto (it's almost exactly 50/50) and pick the NHL game. Assuming no OT, you'd have a choice of three late games (two MLB, one NHL).

[yisman]

I haven't made a pick since Millwall (I wanted win/draw for Argentinian soccer yesterday but I wasn't on), but I'll put my streak on the line with Columbus win/draw tonight.

a two game lead on the next biggest active streak and he puts his W21 on Kershaw not getting the win, a total toss-up

[yisman]

not sure, Mexi.

Anyway, looks like lordswing is easily the guy to beat. After his active 11, there's only one active streak above 4.

[yisman]

I'm at 7.

I'm wondering if Howard over Garnett points is worth a shot.

It's a player prop, which increases randomness, but Garnett just doesn't score that much these days.

[lordswing]

Yep, the lead isn't that safe for me. I thought I was tied at first, but I guess the other W11 didn't pay points?

I'm hoping for another hockey miracle like yesterday, going with the -182 Flyers.

@yisman, Pinny has Dwight O/U 17.5 -132/113, and KG O/U 14.5 113/-132, so that looks like a pretty good pick.

[yisman]

yeah the other one didn't enter

[lordswing]

Mercury's -211 @ Pinny right now, none of the other options I checked were greater than -150 (though I haven't been able to find any NCAA odds).

i've got tulsa as a 5.5 point fav instead of the 5.5 point dog (11 point overlay ). i'm thinking they should win this game. so far on wnba sides my model is 10-5 ats. and 2-0 su on dogs that i had projected as being favs (not counting sides that opened as small favs and became dogs.)

good luck, looks like yis put his W8 on the mercury also.

[yisman]

you waited until after the game started, marbles!

if I manage to survive tonight, I have something tomorrow that I'll definitely put my streak on.

June ESPN Steak for Cash Points Pool

I made a new group, so please join that one when you sign up. This way we have posters who are or have been in the points pool, so it will be much easier to sort through.

i didn't want to influence anyone's pick, but it worked out for ya.

tulsa's defense is just pitiful, especially down the stretch. i need to update my model using some current data. i'm using only detroit shock data.

i picked tenn tennis and i have no idea if it's even started i guess it's on espnu, but i don't have that channel...

good deal mex.

[lordswing]

Tenn 3 | 5
USC 6 | 5

2nd Place on the leaderboard picked the USA to win, not looking good for him

[yisman]

marbles next time I want your advice before the lock!

[lordswing]

Moldova W/D and Magic look like the picks tomorrow

[yisman]

pretty much


it's not looking good for me.

[yisman]

some guy put a W20 on the US soccer team in a friendly. They weren't even favored vs. the win/draw.

They lost, and so did this guy. Had he been more careful, he would've had a great chance at it.

[yisman]

azerbadjan just scored in a game that looks like it won't see much scoring

looks like I could be going down here

swing also needs this because if he wins he has a solid shot at catching the leaders.
