I heard that Ferris is in a comma ( Don't tell anyone but he is out having the time of his life !!! ) So from one NJ guy to an other ( lived near woodbridge my whole life then 3 years ago went way south & family is LOVING it..
....So I don't see any of the info that you were looking for, but if you go read the story about the guy who one the last Vegas trip, I am sure it will be like that.
....So I don't see any of the info that you were looking for, but if you go read the story about the guy who one the last Vegas trip, I am sure it will be like that.I know tickets to a few shows, spending money to go bet a few games, I think Limo service but not sure. If I hear more I will let you know.
I was surprised that you asked, as most of us gamblers are superstitious & would consider this a real big JINX !!! 
Best of luck/skill to you.

thanks for the info! I grew up in Woodbridge as well Amozons! I lived in Iselin for about 20 years, and Colonia for 9....I have moved to southern middlesex county now!! lol I was honestly just curious what the trip entails....i was wondering if it would be better to come in 2nd and get cash...lol. I am shocked that i have picked so well lately....Im just happy to be competing...it makes this game fun to play when ur in the top 50. You made the Vegas trip sound a lot more appealing..lol. Where is the story of the guy who won the last Races' trip?? I would like to read it. Best of luck to you both!

I lived right off St. Georges Ave. by Stewart's root beer. I worked for a band called Bad Attitude who played all over including Iselin, Colonia, woodbridge and Rahway. The "Waiting room" in Rahway was like there home bar.
I bet we know some of the same people. Your 36 to 40 years old ???
It looks like you are just going to run away with contest !!!!!! I am not sure at this point if anyone can catch you. I got up to 100 place and 12 back but I SUCK and now like 16 back...IT IS OVER FOR ME.
Write me back if you can, and best of luck/skill to you.

Hey Amozons! Im 32, and I know exactly where it is that you live! I used to frequent that Stewarts all the time!! haha I've heard of the Waiting Room, but have never been. Im guessing you went to Woodbridge High? As for this competition...it's getting more and more stressful each day to make the "correct" picks! lol made some bad picks the last few days, but still have a 3 game lead somehow!! There is a lot of time left to catch up! Best of Luck to you as well!

How odd to find someone on here from the same area. Well we use to be. I went to Rahway high, how about you?
I think the past few days you still did exactly what it takes to win this. You may get use to going 4-0 & 3-1 but whoever ends up winning this is going to have 2-2 days & that is a fact.
Just avoid getting MAD & pick recklessly, that is my problem...I will go 4-0 & 3-1 then 2-2 & I get so mad I say "IT IS OVER" and just pick 4 games real fast and move on. I HATE even one LOSS !!!
I wish you the best & I hope I can join you up top there soon.lol

Hey Amazons! I went to Iselin Kennedy (JFK High). Do you live right by the Galaxy Diner? I used to love going there to eat! haha
I did pretty well last night! I went 3-1 to keep a "comfortable" lead by 4 on top. Only 95 more wins to go!! I think sometimes I do TOO MUCH research on these matchups. I usually try to focus on reasonable matchups....and research them, until I feel it's a good pick. Nothing like waiting until last minute sometimes....right? Hopefully todays assortment of picks are good to ya!! When will I see your name in the top 10??? I need some hearty competition on top:)

Hey Bri,
Well before we moved down to South Jersey I lived on Walters St which is just a few blocks down the street ( Jaques Ave. ) from the galaxy diner. We ate there many times as my family goes way back in Rahway. French fries & Gravy from the Galaxy !!!
I see you play a lot of over/unders & are good. I NEVER liked o/u so I always stayed away.
Well if I did not have such a bad Nov. things would be different. I have got up to 94th & 15 behind you...but I am just trying to pick some good ones & move up to where I can win something...as I know I don't have enough time to catch you
BUT I still see that being about 8 back from 10th place gives me a chance to win SOMETHING.
My best to you tonight.

I think you cursed me by saying im pretty good at the Over/Unders!! I lost 2 outta 3 of them last night, after losing only 6 out of 32 prior!! haha I'm still somehow holding on to a 3 game lead, even after a 2-2 night.
I got screwed in the Wizards/Magic game...had the over of 195.5, and thought it was going to overtime at 89-89....then Beal hits a layup with .8, to kill any change of the over pulling it out!! sometimes sports is cruel!
It is scary how good vegas is at predicting point spreads and over/unders!! makes ya wonder if sports are fixed sometimes!! Good Luck tonight!

Hey Bri,
So sorry about the jinx thing...I will be more careful for now on.
So you had a 2-2 night & with hundreds right there you say you have a 3 game lead !!!!!!
I have been a handicapper my whole life & spent 7 years working in Vegas...Sports IS fixed 100%. You don't even have to hear any of my stories ( but some are very entertaining & I wish I had help in writing a book...it starts with my dads "friend" dropping off $700 to my mom when I was in 8th grade, I walked in after school & my mom said, Real calmly & normal... " L**** dropped off your $700 today, it's on your dresser, make sure your home for dinner that's when DADDY will be home. "
Anyway as I was saying...we have the NBA Ref who told about the group that was helping to fix games, there are some players who said a little something......but NO ONE really talks about it or makes a big deal even AFTER SOMEONE ADMITS THAT THERE IS CHEATING. The thing is we ALL know why >>> You don" F*** with the mafia.
Well I am now in 62nd place & 1 behind being in the top 50. I am like 14 or 15 behind you......but honestly, I would LOVE to be second or I think the top 10 get $400 ( not sure, have to go look. ) & that still would be nice.

How are you doing this fine Friday? 
I'm still somehow up 4.....im amazing myself sometimes!! lol I went to bed looking like I would be going 1-3 for the day, and woke up 3-1...with the Rockets pulling out a game in OT, and The Sharks pulling it out late! 
I don't like how there has been very few matchups the past few days....not a big fan! I like a plethora of picks...so I can expand my knowledge on all teams, in all sports! haha
Best of Luck with your picks today! Hope to see u in the top 10 soon

Very impressive results there BriGuy501! You've been consistent and avoided big loss days!
I've never been one to keep track of my pick record historically, but obviously playing in this contest has done that for me, and I must say I am surprised at how awful I can be!!! Very humbling I must say.

Yo BriGuy.....I live in N.J. too, used to live in Edison and now live in Blackwood (South Jersey), so we are definitely rooting for a person from New Jersey to win, good luck. But, I have a question for you, on the 27th and 29th, you didn't pick NCAAF and have two NBA picks, instead. How did you do that ? I thought you had to pick four different sports when available, please enlighten me, if you would be kind enough.Thanks Nettie

i waited til the last college NCAAF game started, lets say 10pm...and then picked a late NBA game which started at 1030pm, since there was no other college football games left to pick. Thanks for the support from one jersey an to another!:) Getting stressful, might not be in 1st after tonight..lol
