it won't work due to multiple rounds, no way to guarantee a winner

1/5/2013 10:33:54 PM

theres never gonna be more than 24 options in a weekend, so technically if you had 24 aliaii you could cover every base since you get new picks each weekend

nvm, wanst thinking that 23 of those aliaii would be eliminated after the first round

[Edited on January 5, 2013 at 10:37 PM. Reason : .]

24 options the first round

24 options the second round

4 options the 3rd round

2 options in the Super Bowl

24 aliases in 1st round + 23 aliases in 2nd round (since 1 first round alias wins) + 3 aliases in 3rd round + 1 alias in Super Bowl = 51 aliases

51 aliases * $5 = if you pay $255 to qntmfred you are guaranteed to win $100 from Slave Famous

1/5/2013 10:38:01 PM

^^ there you go

^ actually its worse than that since you have to have enough aiaii to get through to make multiple picks in the next round, and so on

C'mon packers. Fuck this up!

1/5/2013 11:00:53 PM

was hoping my post of the list prematurely would jinx them

1/5/2013 11:02:10 PM

So close to a meaningless TD to cover!

yea but you'd win $100 from Slave Famous every year! Infinite return

1/6/2013 12:27:30 PM

after 200 years, yes

1/6/2013 2:37:16 PM

thats all? childs play

1/6/2013 3:12:18 PM

not to mention you'd need to get all those aliases to 1K posts

1/6/2013 3:13:38 PM

1. promise bubblebobble $5 to get all aliases to 1k posts
2. promise cash on delivery
3. aliases reach 1k
4. dont pay bubblebobble
5. ...
6. profit

1/6/2013 3:16:27 PM

i stand corrected, the plan is sound

1/6/2013 3:16:54 PM

I don't know why you're saying that you need 24 picks each for the first two rounds... there's only 16 possible choices (2^4). I'd say you only need 2048 aliases, based on the 2^11 from earlier

1/6/2013 3:18:17 PM

There are 16 possible choices in the first round. However, you need more than 1 alias to advance to the next round (where there are also 16 possible choices & where you also need more than 1 alias to advance)

16*16*4*2 = 2048 = 2^11

So, 2048 aliases would be needed

1/6/2013 3:32:44 PM

so, it is agreed, the 24 aliases mentioned above was total bs.

also, I wonder if qfred would notice the activity of 2000+ aliases poasting to make it to 1000 poasts each over the span of a few days...

I said 24 options, not a math person and thought you used factorials, thx for the clarification

1/6/2013 8:09:05 PM

All the round one teams were who I thought they were.

3-1 for the 4th straight year

1/7/2013 3:00:07 PM

so when are we getting the lines for next round?

1/9/2013 6:06:16 PM

^this

1/9/2013 10:47:11 PM

Symmetrical as fuck


Baltimore @ Denver (-9.5)
Green Bay @ SF (-2.5)
Seattle @ Atlanta (-2.5)
Houston @ New England (-9.5)

[Edited on January 10, 2013 at 4:42 PM. Reason : How many left?]

1/10/2013 4:41:48 PM

1/10/2013 4:48:09 PM

These are tough lines. Here are my picks based on zero face-style statistical algorithmic wages of wins math:

Baltimore @ Denver (-9.5)
Green Bay @ SF (-2.5)
Seattle @ Atlanta (-2.5)
Houston @ New England (-9.5)

Can't believe I expect two 9.5 pt favorites to cover.

Holy crap those are tough lines. Will post my picks tommorrow

1/10/2013 6:41:12 PM

Baltimore @ Denver (-9.5)
Green Bay @ SF (-2.5)
Seattle @ Atlanta (-2.5)
Houston @ New England (-9.5)

1/10/2013 10:24:11 PM

well you obviously have to take seattle, they are slight favorites and getting points.

you really cant lay 9.5 against Baltimore so you have to take them even though denver is a great team and could still cover.

You have to take San Fran because of GB's offensive line, but god i hope GB wins somehow. Even at -3 I'd still take SF barely so -2.5 is a relatively easy choice.

Twist my arm but i'd take houston +9.5 vs New england, but that's clearly the toughest of the four games since it's a pretty big mismatch.

yeah, take advice from the guy who went 1-3 in the first round

[Edited on January 10, 2013 at 10:53 PM. Reason : i went 2-2 and im not trying to fuck over the 7 remaining players]

1/10/2013 10:52:35 PM

But he won 10 grand on the win and only lost 5 dollars on the 3 losses.

Join the mile-high club in Denver.
Rice-a-roni is the San Francisco treat.
I foresee a Seattle victory.
The hoodie can burn in hell, but for $100 I gotta go with New England.

1/11/2013 9:18:42 AM

^^ actually I had $40 on cincy that I lost and $6,500 if Seattle wins the super bowl so you aren't far off.

Didn't bet those spreads.
