I should be at 4.06 but Tulane back door covered in a really gross fashion after being out of it alllllllll game

Nat,

Obv I had some fortunate bounces go my way, but wow 3.3 swing on temple OT loss and 2.6 swing on cal OT loss really hurt!

Yea you win those and you're legit in the running for top 2!

Instead you have 3 (I misread list when I said 5) NFL picks and you haven't made any yet so I'm super interested to see who you and GS picked as we trip over ourselves to the finish line

Nat,

I have two pushes, I think it'll end up two left.

Also you're assuming Colorado doesn't explode for 28+ in the last 5 minutes!

El D,

Ah damn those sneaky pushes! Alas ya that looks right.

Also if Colorado came back F it you deserve to win

Nat,

Also Babs is an NFL expert guesser and has like 10 left so he could make a big run!

I was sort of not saying anything about Babs hoping he would forget about his last 10 picks and get 10 penalties I could laugh at through New Years

Nat,

As hilarious as that would be, I always want these contests to be about the best picker, not the best nitpicker.

So I'll be posting a final day update when I'm home later tonight. I hope as a true capper and competitor you understand and appreciate that!

As always I appreciate YOU running a fair and honest contest.

As a Penetrate I expect you appreciate the angling

Nat,

For sure, you are definitely savvier than all but 7 or 8 of the other remaining contestants!

That's not nice to Oldbuck, Howard and Babs, two of those guys are over 55 and one just lives like it

Football hunchers,

Babs vs ElD bets
If your next 150 NFL picks on your NimadamusPicks PM (betting at same 5-unit level, of course) are up 72.55 units or more, you win the bet.
NFL status at bet start: 154 - 96, +205.69 units
Current NFL status.....: 183 - 117, +177.34 units

If your next 133 NFL picks are up 64.33 units or more, you win.
NFL status at bet start: 166 - 101, +238.14 units
Current NFL status.....: 183 - 117, +177.34 units

Babs overall NFL season: 49 - 25, +32.65 units
49ers record: 0-6

I can't see Babs last 10 picks yet but I can see which games they are on so I'm going to guess them then see how close I get:

Ten vs Cle: Under 44.5
NYJ vs Miami: Mia -3 & Under 38.5
Car vs Chi: Under 41
NO vs GB: NO -3.5
Ari vs LAR: LAR -2.5 & under 45.5
Sea vs NYG: Sea -3.5 & Under 39.5
Den vs LAC: Under 41

If for no other reason than that lame "I don't know who GREER is" post, this.

Babs,

Good luck on doing better this week than last Sunday. Maybe your new attitude and sobriety will help you make better picks!

Word on the street - beware of redbuck.

Nat,


Slamming the unders always a good prediction!

Depending on how things shake out this morning, there's a decent chance my final pick may be very appropriate for the occasion: Cowboys over 49ers ML.

For my 75th and last pick, I'm leaning toward the under in the Dodgers/Astros game...

Nat,

Can't believe you forgot about his double-up strategy!

Lol, babs picks this week really highlights that he doesn't get the concept of this kind of contests at all. Tons of units out of the money and makes picks to win 0.43, lol. Guess he is that stupid.

Hunchers: Good luck on this last contest day! Let's go Packers and Titans!

Owster: ugh, bears looking big for you to start a final day run.

Guys I'm just getting started. I don't even have 1000 picks logged yet. However, if you want my picks I'm currently giving them away for free to build a following.

I mainly focus on futbol/soccer but there's some mlb and nfl sprinkled in there. Getting absurdly lucky in these European leagues though lately.

Can you explain why you have 1-5unit bets and 50 unit bets?

Rubbr,

That's just an easy way for touts to artificially inflate their results!

Hunchers,

Crap, no time to wait and see if the titans will pull this out or if I'll need a bigger last win. Heading out for the rest of the day so just gonna fire in a Cowboys ml bet and cross my fingers!
