Serious Streak Survivor Strategies

Giants/Dodgers Under 6 with Cain and Kershaw on the mound for W2.

Kershaw sucks! Not only do I get screwed on Over picks but now in a game between 2 pitchers who have eras under 2 against the opponent one of the pitchers gives up 4 runs and 7 hits in the 3rd+4th innings including a hit to the opposing pitcher to start the meltdown. The 3rd inning had minimal damage but the 4th inning killed this pick. It's now 4-1 after 5 and there is no way with the way that Kershaw is pitching that there aren't 2 more runs scored in this game.For now on if I see 6, 6.5 or 7  totals I'm either taking Over or no pick.

5-2 No Under or Push miracle, screw Kershaw officially back to 0.

Becareful what you (or I) wish for, game falls to -130 I pick Under 6 and the Game scores 7+ runs even though the preview pointed to an under.

13 runs, 10 more than what I expected. I even lost on Junk for the Cash with the Angels, Dodgers and Bulls and won with the Canucks. What does that tell you? I now have 4 accounts on espn and I'm officially ineligible to win. But lets face it I'm never going to win when my best streak is 1/4 the size of the winner. I would prefer to be ineligible and get on the leaderboard then be eligible and never reach the leaderboard (except possibly the loss board). With espn no longer giving shirts for W13 (which i of course haven't reached) there is no reason to follow their rules as there is no reward for it. When I started palying SFTC back in September '08 I never expected to win but I did expect to reach the winning leaderboards (and still do)! I will be happier if I reach those leaderboards (even by cheating), that's what counts!

With that being said I'm still following the rules with one account on covers.com, mlb.com and foxsports.com. I have lost respect for espn they have taken games off the board (including 3 lacrosse picks last Sunday) and rigged many other matchups. In addition they have blocked me 5 times for garbage reasons. In addition 7 of the 9 espn zones have closed and due to the bad economy and while espn did not cause that, bad karma has shut them down.
The only thing I liked better about ESPN Zone was the many TVs including in the restrooms.
Let's hope that never happens with Dave and Busters!

ESPN Zones closure

Quad you're killing me! You are on a roll. Don't ever change I love it.

Going with the Dodgers over 6.5, gl all..

9-1-2 for the month and got my W8 last night when the Brewers game went over.  Have no idea about today...maybe the over in the Brewers game again, or over 200 for the Mavs, but I don't know...

And Quad, ESPN does suck, I've been blocked for weeks now from posting for no reason whatsoever...

TEX pulls it out in extras!!!! W #3!!

was too late this morning...tried taking bos det under and
atl az under n survivor wouldnt let me take em.......

so ...goin with ATL for win #4....GL all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those bums seem to have a goal to block a certain number of accounts per month and per year. That must explain why they continuously block people. My brother's account is not only blocked but the reinstatement screen doesn't appear. If you try posting on his account, the message boards disappear altogether and don't reappear until I logged off his account. And once again he hardly even posts, did nothing and gets the ultimate ban. ESPN cheats us so it's only fair to cheat them back and I'm someone who doesn't believe in cheating!chEeatSPN

BTW AgentCooper I like Over 6.5 in both the Brewers/Padres and Giants/Dodgers games but I like the Dodgers to win even better with Billingsley. Dodgers -119 Preview

Man I would pick ATL Braves but the consensus on the pick is locked. Soooo, gonna give my COL Rox -120 another chance afterall they OWE it ta me and themselves a split in Philly! They got 7 consecutive losses at that brotha hood dump. It  ends tonite with Blanton on the mood. BOLA Dime Club!

Streak wise I'm going with the White Sox. Money wise I bet on those bums the Dodgers. The team they can't make their payroll this month. Amazing. I don't like the Dodgers but McCourt has taken a world class franchise ran for over 60 years by the O'Malley family and turned into a welfare case for MLB. McCourt is slimey. But I will take them tonight with Billingsley on the mound. Best of luck to the 25 Dime Club!

SCREW the Heat, SCREW the zig-zag theory and SCREW following up a streak busting loss with another loss!!! Tonight I will be backing the Dallas Mavericks at the new low price of -5 ATS. The Mavericks have now covered the spread in their last 15 games played and Dirk Nowitzki is a man on a MISSION!!! Nowitzki scored 46 points despite taking shooting only 15 times from floor. He was a PERFECT 24-24 from the free throw line( a new NBA playoff record) and he hit 12 of 15 from the field. The Thunder will have no answer for him tonight and will be shredded by the deeper and more experienced Mavericks. They hear the call of father time  and will show no mercy, knowing that this may be their last shot at a title with their current lineup.DALLAS MAVERICKS -5 It is time to get back on that untamed horse!  BOLA!!!

Congrats on Bautista and Win #8 on BTS, bud!!! I had him, as well, for Win #12. I picked Michael Young tonight to try for #13. Good luck, bro!

HEH! My BTS streak is safe at 12! Michael Young has been given the night off!  It is his first day of rest this season and he will return Friday.

Good luck with the Dodgers, Quad. Man have you ever been on a soapbox lately!   You've left me in stitches! Funny stuff, to be sure. SCREW ESPN!!!

This pick is really looking good, so far. Your Rox are really taking it to those Phils. 7-1 in the 5th!

Best of luck with your streak and your money, Smooth!  2-1 Sox in the 2nd! Bases loaded and nobody out!

4-1 ChiSox!

Your pick is doing great as the GIAMBINO is taking it to Philly!
