Geesus Ahche Kriste.... I hate the NBA.

I haven't had a 5W run in 2.5 months now. For some stupid reason I figured 96% of people on Golden State meant they were safe to take for number 5 even though I know zero about basketball.

you were following the people that just looked at the win/loss record, the kings were actually 1.5 favs (yay HCA)

and i could've sworn i switched to "no" for the 3 pt prop after looking at the blowout score, not going to complain though

**yisman** · 03-15-11, 10:15 AM

I had the yes and switched at about 10:20 because San Antonio was not showing any signs of life.

Buried last night.

Orlando 3s was the right pick too, IMO, but they stopped shooting them for some reason. They had like one made three in the last bunch of minutes.

**VegasVixen** · 03-15-11, 10:59 AM

I had GS last nite - streak over.... start again

**yisman** · 03-16-11, 08:08 PM

I have the same exact record as Cabo right now. 30-21

Frustrating few days.

Last night I remembered a few minutes too late to take the 6:30 pick. I wanted to take it so it'd end in time for 9:05. Turns out it didn't, but the team I would've taken won in OT. My 7 PM pick lost and didn't end in time either.

**lordswing** · 03-16-11, 08:22 PM

not impressed with tomorrow's slate

**lordswing** · 03-17-11, 07:50 PM

i ****** up, somehow picked jimmer over instead of under, go points!

**yisman** · 03-17-11, 08:54 PM

Yeah I didn't get why you'd pick that anyway, especially not the over.

Ended up being a classic SftC finish.

**lordswing** · 03-17-11, 09:09 PM

Pinny had that prop actually, 28.5 I think, was the only decent option today, which ofc I ****** up. Was hoping I could go 2/2 on mishaps in as many nights

**** you Jimmer

**yisman** · 03-17-11, 09:30 PM

I saw it at 29.5 at 5 Dimes last night, and Bodog had 30.5 with the over slightly favored when I looked before the game.

Anyway, interesting how they decided to completely ignore the NBA and NHL today.

Board was terrible today. Best I saw was two of the spread ones were 2 points off and the Wisconsin total was two points off.

not to mention no soccer...was hoping they would have had the benfica match like they did last week...this time would have been benfica w/d and would have been an awesome play...ended up a draw

**yisman** · 03-19-11, 07:14 PM

^ yeah they shouldn't ignore the other sports just because the tournament is on.

Damn, guy picking for me missed two picks and lost the morning pick, too.

**revnecro1273** · 03-20-11, 10:10 AM

so much for the theory that they put up games to promote what espn/abc is carrying...no ncaaw and no tennis again

**yisman** · 03-20-11, 10:21 AM

It's not a theory. That's why SftC was created in the first place.

I guess they figure the tourney takes precedence over everything.

Bizarre, quite frankly.

But I can assure you that Monday-Wednesday you'll be seeing a lot of ESPN stuff again.

**yisman** · 03-20-11, 11:40 AM

I was too busy betting Washington and didn't get the pick in.

Liked Wash 3 pointers

lost with Inter

Me too yis. I get 3 or 4 in a row and then get buried on a bullshit soccer prop! Inter should have easily won that match. These SFTC prop picks are gett'in absurd!

I believe your W8 will hold up, the way things are going.

Are you or Mex gonna go ahead and get an April thread started for posting points?

I was going to handle the thread. I planned on posting it this week. You can ship me points though until then.

**yisman** · 03-20-11, 08:58 PM

I could've sworn I had changed my GM pick to Ohio State when I heard about Luke being out, but somehow the page says I took GM.

This last week has been a complete disaster.

**yisman** · 03-20-11, 09:57 PM

Another horrible mistake to close out the day.

I didn't want to pick the Syracuse game, so I figured I could wait and take Illinois, which was scheduled for around 9:35. Not only is Illinois going to lose by DD, but the game was pushed back a lot, so it won't end before the Lakers 2H pick.

Wow. Things are getting even worse. I'm so frustrated.

At least you have won this contest before, winning for now with two people behind you, and don't owe points.

I'm quite the fail

**yisman** · 03-20-11, 11:20 PM

I try to ignore past accomplishments. They're distracting.

The worst part about Sunday was that my picks would've been Marquette and the under, meaning I would've had a W2 instead of an L4.

**MexicanStallion** · 03-20-11, 11:50 PM

I would love to remember an accomplishment, but I have nothing worth remembering in the past year.

**samgurt** · 03-21-11, 10:14 PM

gotta win from here on out if I'm gonna get that 200k! got a W6 right now after the Alabama win....lets go WSU

**yisman** · 03-21-11, 10:31 PM

getting buried betting the dogs today. I'll try again with OKST +280.

**MexicanStallion** · 03-21-11, 11:09 PM

I will post the April thread here shortly. Can pay in here too.

I cashed 3rd in Poker, so I can get you a nice chunk of points back.

**SamsNCharge99** · 03-22-11, 09:29 AM

back to streak of 3...going on late month run

**Frattimore** · 03-22-11, 09:35 AM

looks the bonus money will be won this month........ two people w/ 20+ active streaks right now

**yisman** · 03-22-11, 10:07 AM

Yes, but a W27 is required. Chances are both of those 20+ streaks don't get there.

They're only at 20 and 21.

**LChruscial85** · 03-22-11, 10:32 AM

I'm at a 8 game win streak right now...really liking the Orioles to beat the Yanks for some afternoon action....even though according to the Streak percentage has the yanks at 85%

it is good to fade the higher percentage when the match up is a coin toss

**yisman** · 03-22-11, 05:08 PM

I think the Lakers one should've been Lakers margin vs. Suns 3s instead of a player prop.

Anyway, I'm skipping tonight. I went 0 for 3 on the SftC fade last night, putting me at a W4, but unfortunately it means that my chances of winning the group or my personal challenge with lordswing and Cabo are slim.

**Cabo** · 03-22-11, 06:47 PM

Going with Iona victory margin with my W8. Lets go Gales.

**yisman** · 03-22-11, 06:48 PM

think it's Gaels.

**lordswing** · 03-22-11, 07:04 PM

Bulls ftw, only decent option I saw. Was holding off earlier when it was at -170, but back up to -180 so why not
