I don't see how anybody gets anywhere with survivor. Yesterday I had 8 wins and today I picked Charlston, which was a winner, should be 9 wins but they are wiped from the board and I'm back to 7
Let the mods know about it so they can correct it.

Strange indeed the only thing I can think of was when you made your pick it could have been on a expired page. If thats not the case contact Rizzo to look into the situation. Rizzo helps out with all these deals.

Friday is a tough card mainly because the NBA is on All Star break. I went with Philadelphia in the NHL over Carolina. I only have W1 so im not risking much. If you have W4 or higher I say take Friday off unless you feel strongly about the game.

Hello everyone. smoothd20: solid thread! Just took 25 minutes to read the whole thing. Enjoyed it.
Few notes on me:
I really should do this streak thing more often. Always find myself just doing the regular league contests. Feel like this game here prob gives me a better chance of winning....all you need to do is get hot.
-Been playing ESPN's SFTC for almost two years now...but taking a break til next month's streaks reset.
-Agreed with whoever said back in the beginning of the thread that O/U 5 in an NHL game looks very appealing. Gonna consider that the rest of the season/playoffs.
-NBA is by far my favorite sport to bet on, I'm kind of bummed about this all star weekend. I'll be missing the full card of games to play fri, sat, and sunday,
But I'll post here more often now that I'm really into this streak contest. Got a streak of 3 right now...small but it feels good I want to build on it.
Best of luck to everyone. Be confident in your picks. CYA

Back on a W2 lol, taking the over in Kent St/Drexel (122.5), I can see a 66-58 game for sure.
Here's some more of my "insight." I was thinking that some advice on what NOT to do might be more helpful than actual winning strategies.
I just blew a W6 last night on SFTC on espn solely because I was greedy and impatient. I picked Clemson as 2.5 point favorites over NC State and they shit the bed on me. I WAS going to wait and take Dallas later, but I couldn't stand waiting that long. That's just sad. Had I waited, I would've woke up to a W7 (and I might have put that on Mickelson who is currently winning the morning prop, maybe getting me to W8, but who knows).
The point here is that I had absolutely no good reason to pick Clemson...don't follow them, don't know the team, should've stayed away. More often than not my worst enemy in streak games is being impatient (I lost a W13 late last year on SFTC by picking a random college football game that I did zero research on - stupid). I mean, would it have been the end of the world to have simply waited for the Dallas game? It just burns cuz, I'm not sure about the rest of you, but it can take me weeks sometimes just to get back to a W5.
My lesson for today is: if you have a decent streak (W5, W6) and simply nothing looks good to you that day, then stay away. Don't make the random pick, most times you will regret it. This might be common sense but I lose WAY more streaks due to impatient picking than team upsets.

@AgentCooper-That is the post of the week. We have all been there no doubt. Another friend of mine bit on that Clemson game on SFTC. I put mine on Dallas. My streak on SFTC is a modest 3 but you are preaching today my brotha. That kills most streaks over 6 I would say. Let's make it a point that when one of our brothas gets over 5 to preach patience to them. If we are patient we will have a better chance of getting to the top.

I have 6 wins now, taking Friday off, Just dont feel comfy with anything, but if I were to pick I would go with Harvard also
Good job lttlmac. Take the day off. BTW I love the honey on your Avatar. If you notice I have quite a collection as well. Keep that streak going. We will be pumping you up this weekend for sure.

Thanks dude. I'm a degenerate when it comes to streak, so it's tough to lay off. And it can suck laying off a pick or two and in the meantime seeing those picks you would've made end up winning. But it's even worse watching that W7 get flushed. Lol, it's crazy how much more exponentially frightening and heartbreaking the game becomes the higher your streak gets.

Thanks 4 inviting me smoothd20. I'll make it short and sweet. I like san fran +14 against gonzaga for saturday card. I like good teams getting points. San Fran overall record is barely over .500 but they and the zagas are 8-3 in conference. They both need the game to keep up with st mary so I expect a max effort from the dons. Good luck to all and I hope to get my streak up to 15
