CHECK the facts jack, For the record I took over for The Whitesmiths who was originally doing it because Covers wasn't really pumping up these streaks. Once The Whitesmiths fell off I took the baton. I'm humbled that you would name a curse after me but I think these guys had it rough way before I came along.

When I got mine (18th)... I think my overall record was .500.... 2 years later... I finally 70 games above .500
I don't think its a curse SmoothD.... I think it was whitesmith that put a post on me but I didn't blame it on him... I blame it on the Lakers and OKC not scoring enough for my 19th!! 
well.. rather lose early than one game short...I would have gone to Nevada for a serious hedge bet if I did. 
keep up the good work SmoothD

Well you have company in that boat. I have had 2 pushes in the 4 days. I never push. I have 2 wins for the month 2 losses and 2 pushes. Right now Colorado going down in flames so tack on another loss for the Smoothster.

how many have won 1,000 or more just 20...?
no idea how long the contest has been.
but the earliest streak survivor of over 17 in a row I see under All Stars is
covers member ShawNee922 in 2001.
not sure the exact number of Streak Survivor of 1000+ wins. best time to tell is when the month first starts.
I don't think 1000+ wins is a tough number to obtain though... I'm a over 200 away.. so I get my 1000th win sometime in the summer next year 2015.

I agree about Spring Training games and I also would throw Pre-Season Football games in the mix. They should be limited to 2 games. I remember when they used to play 6 Pre-Season games way back in the day. Now that was really absurd.

There is no doubt that it takes some luck, patience and great handicapping skills to win the big money but it can be done. I was smoking hot from late January through all of February. I have cooled down some now but the point is with a little luck here and there I could have reeled off 17 in a row. Who knows what could have happened after that. The point is it can be done and I believe it will be done, maybe even this year where we will see somebody get the big money. It's definitely overdue.

Two more guys with double digit streaks flamed out today on a spring training game as Baltimore loses to Philly.

Yeah I have gotten burned a few times on those ACC Overs especially with Miami involved. They're so appealing because the totals are so low. Then you bet the Unders and they go way Over. Go figure.

We have yet another challenger for the journey to the big money as Chuck4tennis takes a swipe and he's wasting no time in picking for #17. Chucky boy is going with the San Jose Sharks (my favorite team) to take down Columbus like they were the enemy of the Spanish Armada. Let's go Chuck4tennis take it all the way!
