August 7 UPDATE!

an_clap Congratulations to all our members who have achieved a positive record!

 

Comparing this UPDATE to the first one I posted at the All Star break we find that Fubah2 has increased his lead by just over 11 more points to +46.16 units, with his #1 spot almost DOUBLE the units of the next highest total! 

TheImmortal2 also posted a double digit improvement these past three weeks by just over 10 points to +11.96 units, followed by LuckyGuy's increase of 5.31 to +14.37 units and Kenrock333's improvement of 4.47 to +9.62.

 

Hart31's improvement of 3.56 points moves him up to third spot overall with +19.52 units 

just behind OO7CRUSHER who has +23.77 total units in second spot! an_clap

 

In the category "More Wins than Losses," Fubah2 is well out in front with +107 net winners.  TheImmortal2 moves into second spot with +52 net winners followed by Raiders22 in third with 40 more wins than losses.

Either I’m blind or Kenrock has been MIA.  Maybe taking a break,  maybe busy.  Whatever the circumstances,  even if he doesn’t post again this season,  I genuinely appreciated his plays.  Just hope all’s wellpeace_5

As long as they pretend to pay me I will pretend to work

peace_5   That said,  I am going to start a separate list, just for new additions and just for the second half only. 

 

an_light  These can not be added to the official TOP GUNS list, because their picks are not verifiable to the start of the season. Sorry! Covers.com "search" limitations!!!

But the new additions on the separate list do seem to be popular on the forum, so their records since the All Star break will be displayed here  today.  I can't do everybody and with only a couple exceptions I won't spend any time on those who choose not to keep updated YTD records displayed in their threads at least weekly.  If they can't be bothered, then neither will I. 

 

     I repeat, none of this is meant to promote nor mock anyone!  I'm just counting the numbers for the many of us who are curious.  I am sure we all share in wishing everyone continued improvement in the second half! moneybag an_cheers

 

PS.  I average about 1 1/4 hrs searching threads and scoring each record since July 16.  Ya it's a LOT of work!!  I have one more to do to make the separate list of seven new additions.  Records who may be tracking "system plays" are not included but you can visit their threads to view how they are doing! 

The official TOP GUN list will also be updated shortly.

@zircon

 Who were some of the top college football cappers here last season? You don't have to go back and figure out their records if you don't have them.

The new additions below on a separate list seem to be popular on this forum, so their records since the All Star break will be displayed here  today.  peace_5

I can't score everybody it's just far too much work.  But with only a couple exceptions I won't spend any time on those who choose not to keep updated YTD records displayed in their threads at least weekly. 

an_light If they can't be bothered, then neither will I.

I appreciate everything you do for the forum, but I think we need two separate categories going forward with me.

Games I post sober, and games I post drunk.

We can determine which category each one belongs in by the number of curse words in the thread. Please monitor accordingly. an_2drinks
