NCAA Bowl Contest Standings after Day Thirteen

[brooks85]

Are you going below the entries that have 19 or more or further down? How did you get the 21 who can place as low as 7th after the national championship game pick? It's only 7 places

well 7th place is tied with 20 points right now so anyone with 16 points has a chance to get into the money assuming everyone above them picks the opposite side. Like I said, they would need some serious luck.

[garvardntl]

So who is everyone picking? I mean is anyone going to pick Clemson if this line goes to a full TD or more?

I think Clemson will be the consensus play. If you take Bama its just to be a contrarian.

Were those of us who are part of a team entry supposed to receive two PM, one for team and one for solo entry? Apologies if the question sounds silly but I finally made up my mind and prefer to clear this up before submitting the pick.

Rather, the picks. They may be different!

These 3 star picks penetrate me every year

These 3 star picks penetrate me every year

That's what makes the contest so tough. Most of us use the 3 as a way of confidence picks when in reality each game has an equal shot of covering. So really making 15 picks is not the problem. I'm sure some got 10, 11, 12, 13 of the games correct, but if you assign them wrongly you could have either the highest score or lowest score while getting the same number of games correct. I am highly pissed and will change my SBR Pro renewal date because it is too close to this contest. I am on a team with ArunSh and the picks I made would have scored 24 with a solo entry. I would be tied for 1st going into the championship game. Only because I had the renewal coming up. I hit all 5 3*, 4/5 2*, and 1/5 1*. So I would be hedging or winning something in this contest. Or I just need to make use of points better during the year. January is not the ideal renewal date in conjunction with this contest. You have to decide which one you value the most. LOL. The chance to stay pro or the chance to win the bowl contest. ONe takes you throughout the year and the other is just a chance to enter the contest, not win it.

3*
Oklahoma -3.5
Clemson +3.5
Alabama +15
UNC +3.5
App St +1.5

2*
WKY -5
OkSt +3.5
Wisky -7.5
KSt +2
LSU -3.5

1*
Utah -7.5
Boise -7.5
WVA +3
Florida -2.5
Vandy +4.5

Let me know which ones we agree on. Let's win something

Could I get some clarification re: post #110 from an SBR Contest organizing crew?

Thank you very much indeed!

No you would just reply with the pick for your solo entry and team, labeled distinctly.

If you had not noticed we still sit at number 13. It was over 70 entries. Who wouldn't be OK with having a shot at the very end to place with a correct pick and a little luck. Where are you in the standings Peavy? Are you satisfied with your standing? Good now worry about your team.

quit crying and blaming your teammate for bringing you down...noone gives a shit about your sob story.

I did horrible in the bowl games but you don't see me whining about it.

Where are you getting this from? I'm fine with where I am in the standings. Most of the top entries are a partnership, so it took two or more to get there. How am I bringing someone down? I just didn't enter a solo entry, and if I had I would be tied for 1st, but I didn't have the points to play a solo, team entry, and renew all in one month. Check it out, go down the list of ANY posters' betpoints and tell me how many have 7000+ points just sitting around. There are more with less than a thousand and begging for loans than with enough points to do all three of those things within one month.

You could have simply gotten a loan yourself though sea and then been in the contest and easily paid back. You didn't use all available avenues to you to enter and that part is your fault, but I don't think you would have mentioned it had your solo entry been in 30th currently either so I understand why you're upset about it.

FWIW, I borrow every year for this because I never "hold" pts. Casino has me -negative.

Of course I wouldn't if it were in 30th place. It just so happens that it is tied for 1st place. That is why initially I called it being a pissy moment for me. It's like the guy who skips playing his lottery numbers to get something to eat or gas and realizes that he has 4 of the 5 numbers. General rule. The bets and contests you don't make or enter will always be winners, paid entries or contests are the only ones that have a chance to be losers.

Brilliant. Thank you, SBR Forum!

next year ask me to partner. i will let you make the picks because i will have a solo. That way you only will have yourself to blame. That's just how I roll.

Thanks, but no thanks. I want to team with someone who wants to win, not pull against me and assign blame

[chico2663]

Hey was just giving u an option. I was partners in the little one and never blamed anyone. When i have a bad beat in poker ,i just go and keep my mouth shut. I Believe everyone is responsible for their own actions. If you are the blaming or crying type then you could only blame yourself. P.s. I don't root against anyone. To old to waste my time. But I don't know why I even offered to you because you are coming off as a crybaby.

[chico2663]

Peavy is the most non confrontational person on this site. So for him to say something about you reflects greatly on yourself.

[Alfa1234]

I just hedged out my pick for a sure profit. Anyone else doing the same or are you confident enough to just let it ride?

[seaborneq]

So what Peavy says about me is religion? Well I hope you don't base all of your opinions on what Peavy thinks. But then again the world is full of sheep. Ask him what you should eat for dinner. And if he so non confrontational he could have ignored my post altogether. Now which is it? Non confrontational or looking for an internet fight? Or maybe he is both

You could still win it all. That is a great position to be in. I used to hedge a lot in my younger days, now I'm just so torn up about it that i just take the outcome and regret it later. But most of my hedges don't end up winning both ways, It's either win the bet or win back the original wager amount. That's also why I gave up doing parlays. You are set. You can watch and enjoy the game in peace.

As it's starting at 2AM local time, I'll be asleep and just look at the score in the morning. Still nice though.

Any guy that calls another one a sheep is showing his lack of vocabulary. Only other person that I have heard the word sheep from on this site is brooks. Only guys that I hear using it on cable are the dumb ass that are trying to sell you survival gear.

sheep
SHēp/Submit
noun
1.
a domesticated ruminant animal with a thick woolly coat and (typically only in the male) curving horns. It is kept in flocks for its wool or meat, and is proverbial for its tendency to follow others in the flock.
synonyms: ram, ewe, lamb, wether, bellwether
"a herder of sheep"
2.
a person who is too easily influenced or led.
"the party members had become sheep, and she refused to be taken in"

You are number 2. I know what I mean when I called you a sheep. I did not come to beef with you. Get out a little more and stop being influenced by others and think for yourself. Learn to be non confrontational and ignore things that bother you but don't affect you.

[Grivas_Digeni]

now for the dart throwing part of the contest, making an over weighted pick you don't want to make!

I'd kill to be in your position, Sir. At least your dart throwing abilities matter. Most of us are stuck in the middle with nowhere to go.

[Grivas_Digeni]

The only way for me to win a prize is some 20 people getting disqualified and 20 others picking the opposite side incorrectly.

lol I hear ya, you'll be on top one year and you'll know. I didn't even make any picks for this one, garvardntl is like santa claus to me this year so I'm not complaining but just wish his killer picks were rewarded instead of throwing in this overweighted 4 unit pick. It would be great in the future if it was left out or the pick reduce to 2 units at the most but not counting on it.

Your claim to fame is that you voted for Trump. Somehow you think that enlightens you. Me I have never needed anyone to make me feel better about myself. It has always been my works. What is your claim to fame? That you can mop a floor better than anyone else?

So he is a Rodney Dangerfield type of guy. Didn't have a problem with him until he couldn't read and lumped me in as a second guesser. I have always been a guy that made my own way. Never worked a salary job because refused to let someone else decide my worth. I will stay away from this guy.
