Saturday Nov 3, Outbackman was able to play 2 hockey games, there were 4 different sports on the board, the NBA ended at 9:05 and there were 3 hockey games left on the board, after 9:05. it is my understanding that if there are 4 sports on the board you must play 1 in each sport, regardless of ending times.
Please clairfy this rule if I am in error.
Thank You||surprised.gif' border=0>

Purple:
He waited till after the 8PM Basketball game began, this makes the Sport of Bastketball unavailable to him. This allowed him 2 take the 2 Hockey games which didn't start till 10 & 10:30PM.
It's good strategy (or perhaps he was away and couldn't pick) Whatever, it's a useful tool if you are better at picking winners of one sport than another.
WARNING. If this was the last day, and he tried that,even if he was 2 ahead, someone could pick the earlier games and Win by crossing the finish line first with 3 wins....It's all about timing-thus the RACE.
Did you know that there is no English word that rhymes with PURPLE??
Good Luck to you- Enjoy the race- I hope this helps answer your concerns...,Lazy

That is MY understanding of the rules and is what I would have done if I'd have been thinking right.
Get you football and NBA in one each-
I'm going to the Help line to see if I can get a ref to weigh in on this. Hold tight-

PurpleFrog,
The games available for the Ultimate Race are subject to change. you can only select game that are available so if you decide to wait and to your picks later in the day you might not be able to select all sports for that day.

Without saying precisely, there is a warning here that if you wait to put your 2nd picks in for NFL and NBA games, THE JUICE MAY BE TOO HIGH TO HAVE THEM AVAILABLE TO PICK (over 150 =not available).
Therefore, wait at your own risk- If you think they won't change much as it nears game time then try it. Odds/juice are run thru Vegas....So good luck to you.

So on tuesday the 6th you could have 4 NBA picks if you wanted to.....pick an early game and then wait until after 7:30 when the other sports are off the board and you can then have the 8 oclock and later games to choose from.......so the crap about having to handicap a variety of sports is not always true...but of course the true american sport as we all know is loop holes..............

littlevoice,
I have tried it the last couple of days and yes, you can play it that way, you just have to make sure of the times and hope your later plays are still on the board, but I have not run into trouble with it yet.||peace.gif' border=0>

I have played both races and the officals say this points out who the best all round capper is, but that is bullshit. I like the contest and know its free but I believe to get the best capper you should be made to pick on from each sport on the board and not wait unitl one is off the board to pick another

Outback when its all said and done you will not win shit. i have seen how you have picked the last couple of days not so hot. im not like you and your wife whom need the money to take their trailer and put a second story on it. We will see you who is crying when you lose everything, not one person can make a suggestion on here without pieces of shit like you coming up with some lame response. have a nice night and tell your wife to get off the streets

looks to me that we are picking about the same % this month so my picks are not that bad, and you would hav to beat up women, because that the only way you got that piece of shit with you, im sure you look like you been dipped in shit and rolled in breadcrumbs any way. I got better shit to do that deal with people like you, i do have a a life but it is people like yourself that causes people not to come on here, we will see what you have to say when you dont win shit, so go beat on on your computer or go grab one of your cousins from the mountains to do so||an_baby.gif' border=0>||lie.gif' border=0>

First off, you were 3-1 last night. And 2 of 3 right were -140 or better hockey games.
Congrats, you've found a loophole in the system. You also need almost 90 wins still ... and you won't win. Book it.

I don't see anything wrong with outbackman finding a loophole. In order to win you have to gain any advantage you can. I have to pick all my games early or I would do the same thing. I'm hanging around right now by a thread, but the two sports I know nothing about, I've done the best in....NHL and CFL. Sometimes not knowing a sport particularly well is an advantage. I wish everyone good luck and there is a long way to go. I'm in 19th now but could end up 1,019. Stay hot as long as you can.

This is a marathon, not a race. Outback it talking Crap waayyyyyyyyyyyy too early. He'll get a cramp half way through and he'll be begging for forgiveness.
One wise man once said "Don't count your chickens before they hatch" I think it was Ghandi or someone like that.

Denver has been killing me. They are certainly due for a cover tonight. I don't blame you for wanting to finish first. Five thousand would be a nice reward. I would love to finish second, but right now tonight all my games are hanging by the edge except for hockey of course.
