I've noticed that quite a few people are modelling their picks after mine. Now, trust me, i'm fine with that because if everyone picks the same as i do then nobody will ever catch up. It's just annoying that people aren't picking for themselves. I dont pick the popular picks or the ones with the highest -### value. I've looked the past few days and people have had their baseball pick done, then i do my 4, and the rest of their picks fill out to be the same as mine within a few hours. I'm not being cocky, i guess i'm just frusterated that people are trying to ride me into the winners circle.

You could look at it as a compliment...I haven't followed yours hence me falling 5 off your pace.Like you said if they follow you those that do won't catch you

why care? if you hold your 70 % pace, your not gonna lose this. im in 12th, but 70% is as close to a guarenteed win as your gonna get.

It doesn't make sense to copy anyone's pks.  If you really wanna get ahead do the opposite. You might win and gain or lose and fall further behind.

and for the record i made all my picks before you did ... so you are technically copying me. when i made my picks you only had one pick set. and that was your penguins pick... all others were after i made mine... just sayin!!!

Don't pat yourself on the back to much.  From what I've seen lately you are one of the last to put in their picks, at least in the top 10 or 20.  So how can people be copying your picks if they've already put theres in?  Maybe you're the one to watch.

Just checked the top 20 and as usual there are only a few (3) that haven't put in their picks yet and one of them is you.  Hard to copy picks when you're last one in ya know.

i try to get my picks in about noon each day. I was trying to delay myself to avoid that problem, but it seems there are some perks to picking earlier
