I tried looking and didn't see anything. Anyone else play this on ESPN.com? It is pretty entertaining and a fun way to get involved with games you don't care about other then just betting on them.

They are starting a new season today so now is the perfect time to get in on it, I made a wolfweb if anyone wants to join.

I'm going with Spain to win, 3 goals or more in the USA World Cup qualifier and the Suns at night.

^ Not quite the same thing.

I've looked at this before, and I always end up forgetting about it.



When I remember to do it, it is a good time, though.

4/1/2009 11:10:17 AM

I like the rickroll in there

4/1/2009 11:18:00 AM

Yeah gunzz I searched first but all I found was the MLB beat the streak, this is different.

In this you are trying to put together a streak of predicting games correctly, whether it is picking the winner, over/under or various prop bets for a bunch of sports. This season they changed it and the top 7 streak pickers will win 10k and one of them will win a million. Last season it was anyone who got a streak of 26 won a million (nobody did).

4/1/2009 11:24:09 AM

I've been in on this since January. It's a helluva lot harder than it sounds. My best streak is only six games. And I've had two separate six-game losing streaks. I'm in a group with about 45 bloggers from The Kinston Free Press, and the best streak in our group was 11.

Still, I keep on playing and keep on thinking I'm gonna win.

4/1/2009 11:34:01 AM

I've been playing this. My longest win streak is only 5 though. I think I was somewhere around 37-24-2 or something like that before it reset

4/1/2009 11:34:59 AM

Haha yeah I know how you feel. I've gotten to 9 twice. Personally I think its better to try for the monthly and win the 1k. I was staying pretty even close to the monthly leaders (within 5) for about half this month, then I missed a weekend and I was down around 15 like that.

4/1/2009 11:35:23 AM

I got a streak of 6 or 7. My overall record isn't that great because I'll pick the next available game everytime for my 1st bet just to get the streak started.

4/1/2009 11:40:29 AM

i just joined. it sounds like some fun.

can you make more than one pick per day?

4/1/2009 12:23:04 PM

^Yea. You can make a new pick after the game of your first pick ends. So sometimes it's possible to get in 4 picks a day while other times you might only get 2. It just depends on what games are available for the day.

4/1/2009 12:32:56 PM

ok cool. so you can pick more than one per day, but not two at the same time. got it.

4/1/2009 1:06:09 PM

Yeah, typically try and plan your picks so you can maximize per day, that is, if you have a low streak or you are going for the highest monthly total. I usually check it in the morning and try to plan it out, overtimes and other things can delay games and screw you up though.

4/1/2009 1:19:48 PM

the MLB.com beat the streak got me through my job last summer, but I fucking sucked at it.

4/1/2009 2:32:00 PM

2/2 today.

i don't really see anything i'm sure about tomorrow. i'll have to give it some more thought. overall though, not a bad start.

4/2/2009 12:42:24 AM

I'm L1 already.

Fucking Sabers...

4/2/2009 2:58:37 AM

3-0 to start.

Going Romero, Appleby (Maybe switching that to soccer), Penn St then Nuggets.

4/2/2009 8:28:15 AM

So apparently my suns pick never went through

4/2/2009 8:35:38 AM

My tennis pick--I think it was tennis AHA--got delayed. PUSH

4/2/2009 7:55:11 PM

i don't remember seeing any tennis. golf perhaps?

4/2/2009 8:09:00 PM

Yeah it was golf. Mine did too but I was at work and didn't notice so I couldn't pick soccer. Got Penn St about to be in the W column and I'll be taking Denver later.

4/2/2009 8:55:57 PM

i can't make up my mind on that game. denver is hot right now, but didn't they just clinch a playoff spot? might make them slack up a bit. meh, i'm not that knowledgeable about the nba anyway.

4/2/2009 9:58:03 PM

LeBron points + rebs was an easy win over Jamison points + rebs + assists.

4/2/2009 11:40:21 PM

2/2 again. my streak is now at 4.

tough picks again tomorrow. (i'm not up to date on all my NBA knowledge, so those pics are hard for me)

4/3/2009 1:57:26 AM

I'm on a roll right now, started off with 5 straight. I have a feeling I'm going to whiff on soccer today though. Whenever I have a good streak going I tend to get it messed up by soccer.

4/3/2009 6:07:42 AM

Haha and I was right, missed soccer and back to 0.

4/3/2009 7:10:05 PM

hahaha. dang.

i was tempted to play on that one, but thought better of it. i would have lost too.

i've got the hornets for the night cap.

4/3/2009 9:41:23 PM

c'mon hornets.

4/4/2009 12:25:40 AM

dammit, everton up 4-0 in the 75th minute. guess that wigan pick was a dud.

[Edited on April 5, 2009 at 11:39 AM. Reason : n]

4/5/2009 11:39:43 AM

Yeah agreed. Bad pick.

4/5/2009 2:30:51 PM

5-0-0 now. hmmm. what's the next sure thing. . .

4/5/2009 6:04:14 PM

Man I am sucking it up so far this round.

4/5/2009 6:41:12 PM

come on oklahoma

[Edited on April 5, 2009 at 9:02 PM. Reason : damn it. as good of an ending to a women's basketball as i could hope for.]

4/5/2009 8:52:30 PM

so does that girl have to pay for her college tuition now or what

4/5/2009 9:10:15 PM

really hope the uconn/louisville women's game gets on the streak tuesday

4/5/2009 11:38:25 PM

<----------

First one to 10 wins! w00t.

too bad i can't get any streaks going. hahah.

4/6/2009 4:50:17 PM

i started last night and got my first one. shit felt great. lets gooooooo angels

4/6/2009 5:59:03 PM

So what happens if there's a push? Does the streak continue? I don't want to lose my first 3-pick streak.

[Edited on April 7, 2009 at 4:39 PM. Reason : OK, it continues the streak]

4/7/2009 4:39:12 PM

yes

4/7/2009 5:36:44 PM

im goin with the angels again tonight looks like a guarantee

[Edited on April 7, 2009 at 8:28 PM. Reason : .]

4/7/2009 8:28:12 PM

i can't get more than 3 or 4 in a row.

4/7/2009 8:50:59 PM

Got my first four game streak

An Angels win tonight and I get dat 190% star

4/7/2009 9:51:28 PM

4/7/2009 10:34:39 PM

4/7/2009 10:42:58 PM

4/7/2009 10:43:42 PM
