hell of a comeback by dallas last night. finally joined the right group. good luck boys

**lordswing** · 05-09-11, 07:26 PM

i've been meh about these options the past 2 days, no good in chasing that big money prize

**lordswing** · 05-10-11, 09:50 PM

didn't get in on the 2nd half under, instead i lost it on joe flippin' johnson. i really want to love this team, but they keep taking a dump on my face and i'm just not that kind of guy

**yisman** · 05-10-11, 09:53 PM

What kind of guy would like that?

Anyway, I took JJ under. No odds, but full game number indicated it was about 50/50.

Second half pick had under favored by like -230.

Canceled out of Espanyol at the last minute.

**yisman** · 05-12-11, 06:06 PM

Missed a pretty easy one hole prop because I didn't set an alarm.

The other quick golf prop was canceled because Tiger quit.

Ugh.

Damn, they posted all kinds of lopsided lacrosse today with big favorites, but it had to be Saturday so I missed a lot of picks.

**craigpb** · 05-14-11, 08:02 PM

Yeah looks like they really need people to watch it and everyone will benefit if there isn't an upset.

yeah, I only grabbed notre dame, missed on cornell, and now stuck with the sounders

**StraitShooter** · 05-14-11, 08:21 PM

yeah..prob was the duke game got extended by severe weather..so this game did not end in time to take the next free winner-cornell

looks like the duke game got close at the end 15-14 final

**ronjon619** · 05-14-11, 08:27 PM

all the golf got cancelled also.........

**StraitShooter** · 05-14-11, 08:31 PM

hey guys..anybody know any other pools available in cyberspace outside of our pool?

also I want all you guys to know..you have my word if I win the quarter mill I will send each and every one of the 24 sbr contestants a few hundred bucks

cant say more cause I dont know payment structure. But I had a dream I would win this..lol

**yisman** · 05-14-11, 08:39 PM

lol good to hear shooter

so if I had been on I would've been able to pick all lacrosse save for cornell?

**StraitShooter** · 05-14-11, 08:49 PM

well..the option of betting both duke and cornell was not possible because the duke game got extended due to severe weather and ran past the start of cornell..but yeah you missed out on some lacrosse

Yisman why cant you play on saturdays?..You gotta work?..spend time with loved ones?..thats worth more than money anyways

just dont see where you cant sneak in some picks but I dont know the hand your dealt

**lordswing** · 05-15-11, 12:11 AM

psh, yis has a ghost picking winners (mostly losers) for him

**StraitShooter** · 05-15-11, 12:24 AM

speaking of lacrosse..maryland-n carolina sunday at 1 eastern is a pick em @ 5 dimes..dont touch that one with a ten foot pole

**yisman** · 05-15-11, 01:12 AM

^^ my ghost often misses afternoon picks. :|

He's not bad, but of course I'd prefer my picks to his.

**revnecro1273** · 05-15-11, 06:22 AM

seems they canceled all but 1 lacrosse match up for sunday...and joe public was on bucknell a 3 point dog

**mikejamm** · 05-15-11, 06:28 AM

Yeah just like Sftc to cancel out the easy props! Get a couple free ones on lacrosse and next thing you know all of them are taken down, the good ones anyway!

I'm still going with NC if the soccer game ends in time. NC has pretty much had Maryland's number the past few years, I believe they'll win it.

**yisman** · 05-15-11, 10:29 AM

I woke up at about 10:30.

Too bad. The golf prop was not locked until late, which made it basically a lock for AOS (evidently, the first shot was really good). That's why the prop has so many comments.

Also, the status update last night said they'd post fourth round props, and they didn't. I guess the last day was rained out and canceled.

**yisman** · 05-15-11, 12:16 PM

Miserable streak weekend.

They put up lopsided lacrosse yesterday, but not today.

To make things worse, I missed the 1 PM lacrosse pick, which is basically a toss-up as far as odds go, but it was an extra pick to get in. I'm stuck on L3 now thanks to Liverpool.

I don't even know which way I would've picked in lacrosse.

Now I gotta take the Phillies and hope the game ends in 2:30 or less.

**raggman** · 05-15-11, 12:55 PM

-------NC has pretty much had Maryland's number the past few years

maryland beat nc last week for the acc championship

**craigpb** · 05-15-11, 01:01 PM

Glad they at least put up a few easy ones. Like the Bulls later on.

**yisman** · 05-15-11, 01:14 PM

That's not what I'd call easy. It's a 2 point spread!

**lordswing** · 05-15-11, 05:53 PM

there's another fairly obvious "easy" pick at that time

**craigpb** · 05-15-11, 09:33 PM

It is if you know the team like I do; unfortunately wasn't around to make it.

**yisman** · 05-15-11, 09:53 PM

I just skimmed right over it, assuming it was straight up.

Wow.

Didn't matter because I was on a losing streak so I had to pick baseball, but wow. The people making the board don't have a clue.

**yisman** · 05-16-11, 02:45 PM

3/4 in our group went with Bresois. Lyon got 86.9% of the general populace.

**lordswing** · 05-17-11, 10:19 AM

i should stay away from soccer, but i need picks

I hear that. When you are below 5 I would say you have to play every avail pick and try to make 3 a day until you get a decent streak going.

I had an 11 and honestly screwed it up after I got a buzz going and was in front of the tv ready for the heat game. I told a crowd I was so sure heat would win that I went for my 12 pick and lost. It was 100% a homer pick and if I was in vegas to feed my family I would not have touched that game

Craig got a nice eleven streak going too..I was out all day can someone tell me what game or prop he lost on tonight?..If someone is gonna win the quarter mill it would be great to see the guy come from sbr!!

You dont appreciate a nice streak until you lose a game and have to start over..thats how I felt after losing.

Im glad as hell I lost 3 straight too after..It would hate to have an 11 game streak..than lose one game and go on a 16-20 game streak..That one loss would haunt me all life

I swear too that if I ever get to the high teens or 20 I will already start betting money against my streak pick..

I have a strong feeling that it will take a better streak than 11 to win the points pool..I predict someone will go to 15...just watch

**StraitShooter** · 05-17-11, 10:52 PM

Looks like most of us should dabble in the danish super liga wednesday am

**StraitShooter** · 05-17-11, 10:54 PM

Hey guys. I also stumbled upon a few other contest on espn tonight for the first time. Any of you guys play that baseball challenge?..Are there any other contest currently underway that there is still time to join?..Or do you have to play MLB from day one?..or Monthly prize?

**craigpb** · 05-18-11, 12:34 PM

Lost on Rays. Knew it was tough with Nova pitching better than I thought and Rays didn't do anything offensively like I thought they would. Just can't seem to get past 11.
