    yeah, 10 or 20 points a person sounds good.

    I've still won exactly nothing on SftC, so this would give me a chance at some points, at least.

    we're never going to become the top thread in PT at this rate.

    BTW, the Ligue 2 match was postponed hours ago, but the Suckmaster is asleep at the switch.

    yisman, me being banned for a week didn't help, but we will bring this thread up in numbers very fast

    Yisman..you have been best player streak wise in last year's version. I always go for more picks when I have small streaks, like picking stupid soccer or tennis which always kills small streaks or gives u longer losing streaks.

    I don't go for most wins per month, b/c there's no chance there unless u get like 4 streaks of 10+ during the month. I ibv. go for longer streak

    this years version is more strategy, once you hit 5 or 6 or 7, you slow down and pick only 1 a night, or even take a night off

    So, for our SBR contest, i would say longest of the month wins, not highest win % or most wins per month. Wouldn't be fair to others, such of Mexican Stallion who is DOING WORK w/ 8 gm streak, but only picking a pick or 2 a night

    We can build this thread up, but we need all those posters who are in the group to chime in as well. We can do a monthly longest streak. Just have to see how many people are interested.

    I love this game, and love the new format. Having a new chance at 100k each month is cool.

    How many wins do you think it will take to win the month? Right now. 1 active at 16 in a row, with a bunch stalled out, and it is only the 12th of the month.

    No clue really. I will guess it will take more than 16 in a row though. I will shoot for 19 or 20 to win the month.

    Yisman..you have been best player streak wise in last year's version.
    I also had the most monthly wins in the group for the last four months. I'm not slow-playing it.

    So, for our SBR contest, i would say longest of the month wins, not highest win % or most wins per month. Wouldn't be fair to others, such of Mexican Stallion who is DOING WORK w/ 8 gm streak, but only picking a pick or 2 a night
    Go back a few posts and I said the same thing.

    Monthly doesn't make sense because it mostly rewards those who are on all the time and make every pick (then from that small group, whoever picks the best wins). Winning percentage is the best indicator of skill, but the game does not reward that.

    The game rewards building the longest possible streak within a single month, so that's how we'll play as well.

    For some reason I've been very cold in this new year and I'm not even at 60%, but I think I'll be able to turn things around, get above 60% and build some solid streaks. My longest so far is 5, which is crazy. I was so hot the last few months of 2009 that I would get 7-10 streaks, lose them, and be back up there within a week or less.

    Over 90% picked it. I wouldn't expect our group to be any different. It's at 3 with 9 minutes left.

    I could have figured that out had I checked the names too. I just don't understand the name. Don't remember what it used to be.

    ugh, another loss.

    Just hit four goals with a few minutes left.

    you can change your entry name at any time so it can get confusing.

    I think Kav FTW is Kav.

    yeah, it's very strange.

    We got very few new posters in the old thread.

    Could be because the link to join wasn't in the first few posts. I created the group some pages in and of course it couldn't be edited in.
