#2 Posted: 12/3/2012 11:36:19 AM Impressive stats! That 15 in a row streak must've been epic. At least you've gotten a hat & hoodie on the journey. I'm approaching 2,000 picks and gotten JACK SQUAT. Longest streak is 7, which has to be on the low end of probability for that many selections. I swear I've been at 6 a dozen times and can't break through. |

#3 Posted: 12/6/2012 11:42:42 AM Yea. I've had the streak of 15 and I've had a few other streaks of 10+, but nothing close to the money of many other people on here. Just kind of disappointed after 10 years that I havent gotten to the cash yet...HA

#5 Posted: 12/15/2012 6:00:55 PM I have a record 508-444-15; Just lost my 3d at 10---seems like everyone I talk with has a hurdle they are unable to jump. Some pretty good 'cappers have never surpassed 8 for example, but MIZUNO22 you are defying probability, as you point out. Anyway GL with the Heat ce soir  |

#8 Posted: 12/16/2012 10:07:36 PM Ironic that I'd go on a run after posting on this thread. Reached an all time high of 8 today, so tomorrow, I go after the coveted hat. If I get stonewalled, can I buy one of yours, Coin Toss?? |

Don't be dissapointed. Firstly we are here for fun and then if the things work, very good.
If not, we win something, new friends and experience. It's win-win.

#11 Posted: 12/24/2012 12:31:20 AM winning the hat is epic if you are bad at it. i won it once a year ago and now the hat is old and no way i am winning another hat, it seems impossible. |

If I'm not mistaken, random probability suggests that you should have streaks of at least 13 in a row win or loss after 1000 picks |

#16 Posted: 1/3/2013 9:20:38 PM I know how you feel. I cant get past 8 wins. I have seen people blow their $25,000 games. It is hard to go on a streak to get that kind of money. |

#21 Posted: 1/11/2013 8:07:54 AM Just had my 7 game streak snapped last night & I am p-off! My new strategy is to take the same pick as the leader as if I can't win, I am going to dam well make sure nobody else does either. I know this is petty but I don't give a ##** |

the current leaderboard(as of 1/17/13) consists mainly of those copying picks off each other.
Ive clicked on their previous picks and they're pretty much exact |
