Don't forget about the extra $1000 you can pick up in the January "Monthly Wins Leader" contest too. You are in the lead by 2 games with 8 days to go in that one. Depending on how big your lead is on the 30th or 31st, you can piggyback on the #2 guy's pick and lock in the $1K. You'll probably have already won the $100K by then, so maybe the extra $1K isn't much, but it'll help pay the taxes (the fact that Obama and his IRS goons are going to get a cut of your winnings irks me too, he deserves none of it). Good luck with The Grizz tonight!

Memphis on the year wins by 2.2 vs teams under .500
Memphis wins by 6.6 at home
Memphis wins by 3.8 on season
Memphis doesn't cover the spread ? Memphis is not a blowout team.
Phil hangs around and loses by 9 or 10 as on the season Phil loses by 15.8 on the road.. Phil loses by 13.4 vs top .500 teams year to date.
Followers Avoid? I am for tonight as I agreed with many of his plays.

brackson, the more active you are the more green bars u get under your name.
What's the Participation Meter for?
The Participation Meter bar located with your posts indicates how active you have been in the forum over the past 30 days. The busier you are - the more green bars you obtain.
GREAT JOB ON THE 25K & GL GOING FOR THE 100K..

@powerD, i completely understand your concerns. please do not play it if you aren't absolutely comfortable with it. the law of averages says that i should lose pretty soon, so this may be the night you're right. that being said, a wise man once told me, "haters gonna hate, lovers gonna love, i don't even want none of the above..."
@everyone else, thanks for explaining the green bars. i don't care anymore. i thought they were for accomplishing things. i don't believe in participation trophies, so i'm fine with my empty bars.
you have the same pick as him

ok, so before i post my pick and reasoning for today, let me address a couple of things that seem to be hot topics...
1) picking every day - the fact that other people are putting their own money on my picks for no other reason than that i picked them is something i take very seriously. if i don't have time to research or if i research and don't feel comfortable with anything, i won't play that day. but if i do research and like something, i'm taking it. my favorite song by ben howard (the concert i went to the other night) is called "the fear." the gist of the song is that if you live life in the confines of fear, whatever becomes of you is exactly what you deserve. i haven't gotten here by living in fear, and i'm not going to start now.
2) hedging - again, i take it very seriously that other people are risking their own money on my picks. if i get to 24 and hedge, that essentially means i can take any game on the docket for that day, and that the outcome of the game doesn't matter to me because i've put myself in a win-win. first, my name isn't webster, but that doesn't sound like gambling to me. second, i don't see how it's fair of me to perhaps make a pick with little to no research and put myself in a win-win, but hang everyone that's actually risking money out to dry when i end up being on the wrong side. if i get to 25, i think the $100k will be well-deserved based on the actual probability of such a streak. if i lose tonight, or if i lose on 23 or 24, i'm going to make $25k for playing a free game on a website and having the time of my life for a couple weeks. i think i'll find a way to survive it.
Very well said my good man and my sentiments exactly.
