Thank you Optional and Yisman for those responses and explanations.

I think they throttle it at 2 every 24 hours. So if you sent at 11 PM, for example, you'd have to wait until it's 11 PM again.

That's an awful system.

Once someone makes the mistake of doing a transfer close to midnight one day they will only have a small window to make a transfer the next day.

I can see people getting into arguments about why others don't send their points everyday.

**ronjon619** · 03-01-11, 01:36 PM

how about sending the points at a heads up poker table? Would that work?

**yisman** · 03-01-11, 01:54 PM

it's been suggested before and I believe SBR frowns upon that work-around.

No problem. Saw you had your questions answered as well. Just keeping sending the 2 points when you can. I have no problem updating it as we go along. You have been in a few of these lately, so I have trust in you to ship them.

the only 2 significant favs would occur at the same time, can't believe i missed this shit

Thank you Mex. I have actually applied to become a pro member mostly b/c I should have sufficient funds in my diamond account at this time to cover the minimum threshold. I look forward to future participations in these pools.

**mikejamm** · 03-02-11, 02:22 AM

Man lets hope March is a lot better than Feb!

Who ended up winning? Anybody know what the final pts total was for Feb? I guess I missed it.

whodey won w/10 on tiebreak over necro.

you missed being able to pick the last 2 months?

I should be at 3. I was supposed to take Nebraska, at -135, but I have a habit of remembering things seconds after they lock.

I was trying to conserve power on my netbook, which had about an hour left, and I wasn't getting home for about another hour, so I kept it in sleep mode for 10 minutes and missed the deadline. Oh well.

no power chord?

**nikossf** · 03-02-11, 11:45 AM

I use sftc a lot to pick O/U's on games. There is a lot of info to use from playing SFTC.

**yisman** · 03-02-11, 11:51 AM

I haven't been taking the cord with me, but I'm going to have to start doing it on Tuesday. I have a little less than 5 hours on it when fully charged, which isn't enough.

**lordswing** · 03-02-11, 11:17 PM

yes, surprisingly i did miss sftc/daily grind of gambling, slowly easing my way back into it

tempted to go gay w/t for a quick pick

**liverbuddy** · 03-03-11, 12:44 PM

This Guy has been cheating for months his name is Singh but goes by the name of
"FlyLikeG" with numbers on the end for his many, many, accounts he has!

Here's a little proof but he has too many accounts for me to be bothered to find:

check where it says picks history on each page and you'll see he has been playing picks against each other to guarantee big streaks! last month he was rabid at it but he's been called out on the SFTC messageboards and I called him out in a pick thread the other night in the Purdue game!

Cheating ****!

ESPN SFTC won't do anything about it until he wins when they then check everything!

The Main Event, who came second, only started picking on 20th Feb. And had never tried before.

I bet he wonders what is wrong with the rest of us.

Yisman, you can delete the remaining entries that are not listed above. All posters have names now.

**lordswing** · 03-03-11, 07:26 PM

more storm picks than vols?

**MexicanStallion** · 03-04-11, 09:21 AM

We have 4 extra guys in the group. Hustle and Rev can stay since they are active, but you could take off Naz and Crnjak. Then I won't really need to post updates.

**lemart5** · 03-04-11, 10:50 AM

How did. Ian Poulter pull that off

**yisman** · 03-04-11, 11:21 AM

OK will do.

Karlsson was actually a slight fave over Poulter over 18 holes, plus he was getting the tie.

**yisman** · 03-04-11, 12:00 PM

Decided to go with Munich at the last minute, but got locked out.

**lemart5** · 03-04-11, 12:36 PM

Lee Westwood don't **** me

i'm surprised you didn't wait till tonight, or you planned to and this is just your attempt at playing mind games with me

**yisman** · 03-04-11, 01:14 PM

I did plan on waiting, then decided to play the picking at the last second game.

I gotta find someone to make picks for me...

**lordswing** · 03-04-11, 08:02 PM

ESPN Real Time better not be ******* with me, 59+73=132, so damn close

**revnecro1273** · 03-04-11, 10:33 PM

whacked stuff....espn streak had prop for double digit win for valparaiso and they were 2.5 point chalk...they win by 10...epic

**lemart5** · 03-04-11, 10:39 PM

I knew I should have joined this months pool./

there was a cartoon show on CBS when I went to watch the game. The channel guide read a 10AM tip. At 10AM they joined the game in progress.
