Signed up for this back in 2006 and immediately hit my first 9 picks in a row and won the hat. Fast forward to now, 1670 picks later, still haven't won a second hat, LOL.

After failing to get my own picks right, I decided I would just tail people that were on streaks of 15+ to see how many I could get. The five times I did it, the person's streak ended on the same day lmao.

Had 14 end on, Pelicans -6.5. Up 8 with 10 sec to go, shot up 2 guys hit it, ball out of bounds called pelicans ball with 7 sec to go. They review it (with 7 sec to go in an 8 pt game) reverse it, give up the lay up. Win by 6. I lose. So sad!

Not necessarily just on Survivor but I lost 3 games last Summer on Wild Pitches and one on a HBP all in the 9th inning. I was also on the wrong end of an epic 5 run meltdown by whoever it was I don't remember. That will never happen again in any of our lifetimes. I heard one announcer say that there were more games lost on Wild Pitches in the 9th inning in that month than they were combined for the last 30 years.It was brutal for me,

I thought I had picked BYU plus the points last week vs St Marys, didn't double check, you can't change it once you've made it so I wasn't too concerned about it, plus I was coming off a loss. Checked the points later on that night, couldn't remember the exact spread, noticed I had taken Kent St -8.5 instead. Yikes. That game was in progress near the end and no chance to cover in regulation. Goes to O.T. unlikely they will cover. Reluctantly watch a movie with the girlfriend. Check the scores later that night, Kent St. wins by 10, BYU gets blown out. Moral of the story, that's right, be a good boyfriend, watching friggin' lifetime periodically, you can get lucky twice in the same night. Simple man here, take it every time

First game I ever picked here was a game I actually went to see in person. In December 2006, I picked Arkansas State to beat Denver by 12 or so (Can't remember the spread). I went to the basketball game in Jonesboro, Ark., my home. ASU was up by like 14 with 3 seconds to go and I thought I had won my first pick.
Instead, Denver hits a desperation half court 3 as time runs out, loses by 11 and beats the spread. I got my first of many, many losses that night.
