Only about a 1/5 of the way done the race but the top 2 picking at 77% very impressive. They seem to have the same picks with 1 difference every day. Maybe i should just pick what they do ||an_tongueout.gif' border=0>

Late start for me, but I'm hitting at 83%(10-2). Getting pretty lucky with Hockey. I've never even tried to bet the NHL before. Probably never will, but this contest has been fun so far.

I like the 'Across all sports availabe' feature.
It stimulates the brain and levels the playing field a bit.
Then, again, there will always be those smarty-pants, know-it-alls, handicapping gurus that will wipe the floor with the likes of me!!||an_roll_laugh.gif' border=0>||an_roll_laugh.gif' border=0>

Yeah, I'm hoping for maybe a jacket from a weekly winner or something, especially with the late start and all, but I guess you never know. Again, it;s just fun. I found this site through covers.con. Either way, I know have a place to track my NFL picks for the year instead of just on paper. I do "okay" with my bookie, but I never bet them all, which I can here just for fun. Nice site.

R u kidding me? All they do is manipulate the contest and take heavy favorites. Its a con job what they are doing. This has nothing to do with handicapping ability and everything to do with guys finding a way to make money no matter how low they will sink.

Thor,are you posting this in every thread?Come on,loosen up and have some fun :-)If someone's manipulating something,ain't anything we can do about it.Just have to play your best picks,and hope for a winner.
The only other comment I have on this is that a 4 sport picking type style would be a better determinator(as LazyBoy alluded to "I like the 'Across all sports availabe' feature.")
Other than that(which they can't always control),
I think it's a very fair contest.

reguardless what my way for picking winners is. i still have to pick winners like everyone else!
i can see where a smart man like thor4140 should not have any trouble catching anyone and winning this contest going away

Ya its not like certain games are open to certain people anyone can pick any game. Top 2 have just been impressive so far but were only a 1/5 of the way through plenty of time for anyone to catch up.

Outlaw we will see where you will be when its all said and done and you are forced to take games you actually have to handicap. By the way how many of those hockey favorites have you actually bet? Im willing to bet not many. I bet that all the dogs i win and all the favorites you lose in the end there is no freaking way you would be in front of me if this was graded like some of their other contest. Now keep on trying to manipulate and i will show character and not try to sneak my way to the top.||an_cheers.gif' border=0>

hey thor, they can choose whoever they want, its open picking for all. maybe on a units level you are right, but this contest is about picking winners, not units. bes t of luck to all

Thor you are a moron. Sorry wagerline for berating another member, but -150 is not a heavy favorite at all. And if you win with so many dogs than why are these dogs not leading you to victory in the Ultimate Race. You are berating people for taking the "heavy favorites" yet failing to state that you too can do it. I guess you'd rather not put your integrity and "amazing handicapping capabilities" into question by taking a "heavy favorite." I am 0-6 or something and quit a long time ago as I am out. However, if I was in outlaw's shoes right now I'd be damn happy. 5 grand is 5 grand regardless how you got there. Stop bitchin' and start pickin' heavier favorites. I'm pretty sure the bank won't tell the winner they can't cash their 5k check because "you manipulated the contest by taking too heavy of favorites"
thanks for listening to my rant. have a good day. ||an_speak.gif' border=0>
