Thanks. I didn't realize that the final four had started when I posted these. I didn't take today's picks into consideration at all (nor in the picks below).

For what it's worth, here's my plays based on my lines (1 unit each).


Gordon Gekko +.5

NEP Dynasty -200

NEP Dynasty over 1.0 units -150

Gordon Gekko over -.25 units -140

BOL all!

I was a sub for kellen and I got to the second round. imgv94 beat on me on the last day, he was down over 3 units, he hit his last two and I got a push on mine. Somehow, he factored in the push possibility into his final plays and just beat me. This tournament can be excruciating.

I think that it should be changed so that there are no brackets and the top 50% advances in each round until the final where it's head to head. I think that's the only way we can determine who the best handicapper really is. What do you think?

well thats a good idea but i do like this format it is unique like the march madness tourney but yeah your right the final 4 we have now were not the hottest cappers in this tourney they were just fortunate including myself to advance past subpar oppts ............

We've tried it this way and there's been tons of strange happenings and frankly injustices. xxx looked like the favorite and he was somehow beaten on a longshot in the first round. picoman then looked like the favorite and he went out due to an amazing comeback in the second round.

If the format I'm suggesting was used, we'd probably end up with the best handicappers in the final and isn't that what this is all about?

Also, we'd get a couple of months of seeing the best plays from the best cappers like fingas, picoman, xxx, etc. That's better than being subscribed to the best picking service out there, imho. And it's all free. Let's be practical about this and keep the best handicappers alive for as long as possible. It not only makes the tournament more credible, it gives us tons of good picks too.
