So how many of you are gonna risk taking us at noon? It's either that or Wisconsin on the road which looks like a possible trap. I think I may go with us as we "should" beat Miami at home

Also I believe you will get to W3 at least today Cody Im assuming you are on Napoli this morning

i'm on W4 now.
took Napoli this morning and NCSU at noon. i'm locked on the packers now. tried to come back and take the steelers, but i was too late. hopefully this works out. i see a lot of our group took the packers.

1/23/2011 3:06:46 PM

damn. look at you go cody haha. nice.

i'm on that solid w1 thanks to state. think i'll go either pittsburgh or robin soderling winning 3-0. probably go with pitt.

1/23/2011 3:13:04 PM

i doubled up my best monthly streak today!!

good start for the packers. hope they keep it up. a star sure would be nice now that it's the 23rd already. hahaha

1/23/2011 3:16:15 PM

Man I knew I should take Wisconsin. I am such a vag for chickening out.

Go GB.

1/23/2011 3:16:46 PM

Going for my second red star today GB looking good then likely will be on the steelers

1/23/2011 4:04:57 PM

Same here. Just need another solid half.

[Edited on January 23, 2011 at 4:29 PM. Reason : Well, first star, but same idea with picks]

1/23/2011 4:29:00 PM

I wish I would have paid attention to the time and got the GB pick in time. Oh well

1/23/2011 4:52:44 PM

I hate to pick the Steelers/Jets game because I hate both those teams so bad. However I am leaning towards the Steelers, simply because I don't think the Jets are set up for a letdown after [s]they won[code] the Patriots gave them the game last week.

1/23/2011 5:03:39 PM

Leader is at 24 now man I can't imagine how nervous I would be trying to get those last 3 wins

1/23/2011 5:37:23 PM

OK at W6.... again.

K-State and San Antonio look really good.

K-State is a 5.5 favorite at home against Baylor.

San Antonio is also a 5.5 favorite at Golden State.

They are within an hour of each other so they both can't be picked. Ugh, I dunno.

1/23/2011 10:06:40 PM

At this point I'm debating if I just wanna try and put together a better streak now that I'm at 5 again or make an attempt at the leader which means I gotta make as many picks available and hope for the best haha

1/23/2011 10:08:34 PM

i was thinking of pulling the trigger on the 9 games or fewer, but i think i'll just wait until tomorrow.

1/23/2011 10:10:44 PM

I was gonna go 10 or over haha

1/23/2011 10:11:29 PM

yeah, i really have no clue, which is why i'm staying away.

1/23/2011 10:11:51 PM

I'm going for 9 or fewer. Let's do this!

1/23/2011 10:12:35 PM

Sigh I don't really like any games till after 9 tomorrow so I either gotta guess and get lucky or just hold off

1/23/2011 10:14:40 PM

woot! barely got that 9 but i'll take it what to pick tomorrow??

1/23/2011 10:59:03 PM

i think i'm going with the hornets and spurs tonight.

1/24/2011 7:18:38 PM

i'm glad bolton decided to finally play their worst game of the season today.

I went with the tennis prop and any other result. I just picked something cause I was still mad from Bolton. I need February to get here lol

1/24/2011 7:37:47 PM

I was gonna pick Bolton too, but I missed it by a few minutes. Whew!

1/24/2011 7:47:34 PM

I had both soccer picks right this morning but couldn't do it with a streak going

1/24/2011 8:08:45 PM

Of course the Hornets are going to lay an egg tonight. Ugh.

1/24/2011 8:30:00 PM

Don't worry Pittsburgh is as well should have gone with soccer at least could have gotten to 7

1/24/2011 8:35:37 PM

lol the hornets were down 14 after one quarter and are up 5 at the half.

1/24/2011 9:14:36 PM

As much as I dislike pittsburgh right now I'm guessing the guy who lost W24 on them hates them more haha

1/24/2011 9:17:47 PM

that was a dangerous pick on W24. i would have picked san antonio tonight or k-state.

1/24/2011 9:22:38 PM

Oh well now that my streak is over I think I'll just pick as many as possible for the rest of the month for fun

1/24/2011 9:26:35 PM

I realize the guy had a W24, but looking at his picks, they really didn't look that solid. I know that sounds odd considering what his streak was (and what my all time high is) but a lot of his picks, even in the later part of his streak, were very random and just "worked out".

1/24/2011 9:30:27 PM

dude can still win 50k. i wouldn't mind being a bit dumb if that's what it got me!

1/24/2011 9:38:18 PM

bad day for me. 2 losses. just another january day

i'll go for the spurs tonight. so if you guys need a pick go with golden state. i'm sure they will win now.

1/24/2011 9:49:24 PM

W7.

going with the spurs now. hope ^ doesn't screw me up. hahah

1/24/2011 10:31:26 PM

i'm gonna go and pick golden state to protect the win streak. haha. i have to sacrifice for the group.

1/24/2011 10:33:33 PM

Ernie and his new phone are back up in this mother

1/24/2011 10:34:27 PM

you're welcome cody

now hopefully i can get back to the wins

1/25/2011 12:56:30 AM

The only pick that looks half way decent is the Blackpool W/D/LB1 pick, but honestly I'll probably just stay away.

1/25/2011 1:11:49 AM

bah

1/25/2011 4:09:04 PM

Well I felt like Man U would get 3 but didnt figure on blackpool getting 2 in the first half.. oh well onto the next one Ive given up on this month haha

1/25/2011 4:35:08 PM

glad i stayed away from that one. that game was nuts.

1/25/2011 4:41:27 PM

you have plenty of time to stay away from picks

your W1 is gonna beat the W24 pretty soon, here on the 25th of the month

come on man, playing it safe with a W1 this late in the month? you better pick everything, until you give up until February

[Edited on January 25, 2011 at 4:46 PM. Reason : ]

1/25/2011 4:45:21 PM

hey man. i have a good feeling about this w1 alright?

i probably should have picked it but yeah i had no idea how that game was going to turn out. i was thinking man u plus 2 so i would have lost it anyways.

1/25/2011 4:49:17 PM

i lost too, but once it gets late in the month, i either say "ok i need 3-4 correct picks a day to have a chance" or whatever it is, and soon after losing i give up...until the next month

I should quit now just so my monthly percentage will be 69

1/25/2011 4:50:24 PM

i'm just ready for february to get here to be honest.

1/25/2011 4:54:24 PM

The smart idea is to look at all options and only take the pick you are most sure on each day. I however like action if I had started at the beginning of the month I'd be interested to see how far I was off total wins

1/25/2011 6:02:20 PM

^yeah that strategy takes way too much willpower

although it gets easier the higher your streak

1/25/2011 6:32:22 PM

If I had picked who I wanted yesterday, I would have been 3-0 yesterday and on W10. However, I am in another group with my brother-in-law. We have a bet where, at the end of each month, whoever had the highest winning streak gets paid a dollar per win. So if I had a W10 and he had a W7, then he owes me $3. Right now we are both at W7 but my streak is active.

Obviously it is not about the money, but basically bragging rights. However the goal of me beating him, and the goal of making the maximum amount of picks to have a .001% chance at the hundred thousand dollars are interfering with each other.

1/26/2011 3:57:46 PM

W5 has become my sticking point so when I get there again I'll let ya know what I picked so you can go the other way for an easy W

1/26/2011 4:34:09 PM

I think Louisville looks like about as good as it's gonna get tonight. It's at Louisville, and WVU's top scorer is out.

1/26/2011 5:04:49 PM

That may or may not be the game I'm on this evening

1/26/2011 6:30:18 PM

2/2 today!
