Where was our illustrious leader today?

im playing by the rules. whats the problem ?

No argument there. Damn sure hope it costs you. Good luck. 

kinda like how it may have cost you by playing, i just doing the opposite of what happened to you. all good though, everyone has a different strategy.

Since no one else seems to be complaining, I’ll definitely be using YOUR strategy next time. 

Why not, right? Later.

whats there to complain about ???

holy hell, nobrain, your name says it all, "nobrain". literally, you had met the minimum requirements, was up over 1500 units and you kept playing. what was your logic ? did you not read the rules or comprehend the strategy behind a contest like this one ? you're actually mad that you blew it and you want to bring someone else down with you. once the minimum is met, then it becomes a chess match. don't let my "rookie" status fool you. besides it aint over yet. does anyone else have a complaint ?

I did the same thing you did once, and got my ass climbed for it. They even added a rule that you had to make a minimum number of picks over the last three weeks.

This is coming from my own experience, which is exactly why I kept playing when up by over 800 points. No harm done. You play it anyway you want to. Just wanted you to know we’ve noticed. 

Phillyfan can tell you all about it. 

when you handicapp, you cant always find a play. to add the rule that you must make picks during any specific time period is completely a pile of bullshit. your comparing another contest to this contest. i get where your coming from but the rules were laid out before the season started and im surprised that anybody has a problem with or to even comment about my record or anyone elses. i picked mostly totals by the way. if i had picked only totals, someone would cry about that, right ? before anyone even considers commenting they should go back to see if any rules were violated. so you kept playing with a big lead after you qualified because you were afraid what people would say ??? and if anyone blasted you, id have had your back. 

As I say, play it anyway you want to. There are 80 picks left. This conversation won’t even be relevant by the time it’s done. Later, pal.

"play it any way you want to" i was playing it any way i wanted to but you felt the need to try to criticize me for my strategy. nobody else is chiming in, whats that tell you about your attempt to go after me. you should have really never even opened your mouth. bye felicia.

Don’t be timid, little rudie, timid never wins. 

Have some respect for yourself.

how about you have respect for others in here. you opened your mouth and cant back it up because your wrong. you can run your mouth all you want because your behind your keyboard. typical of a coward. 

None of us paid a hundred bucks to watch some poor schmuck curl up into a little ball once he (or she) takes the lead. You are the first to do so. If “running scared” is your strategy, why are you even here?

and suddenly your the moderator of all contests on covers, you would have to be to make the claim that im the first to sit on a lead. you clearly dont understand the strategy when the only rules are to meet the minimum amount of plays and to have the highest units accumulated. your pissed that im too smart to have figured that out. im playing by the rules and its eating at your soul. if i lose the lead then of course im supposed to try to claim it back. you paid 100 bucks and all your doing is crying because im smarter than you. at this point ive done enough to win, that could always change, but until that happens ill sit back and watch the show. so far your the star of the show. once you get your head out of your ass, the next contest your in, and your leading, and you met all the requirements to claim any money, guaranteed youll sit back and make your competition earn your place at the top. imagine if i were to continue to play and lose 10 straight games and end up out of the money, wouldnt i be the biggest jackass. oh yea that already happened. you wanna cap me head to head nba, sides and totals 1k. ? lets find a reliable 3rd party to hold the money. well set it up in covers somehow. must make a minimum amount of picks for the rest of the season and a minimum of 5 plays a week, kinda eliminates sitting on the ball. 

Nope, I wouldn’t sit at the top. I DIDN'T sit at the top. Why? Because I’m not a little punk ass. That’s the difference between you and me. You’re a sit and hope guy while we take action. You can’t claim otherwise.

You just sit there and call yourself Champ. 

And yes, you are the first to sit on a lead in this contest. We’ll all remember little rudie as the cowardly king. 

And I’ve played them all.

you show me another knowledgeable contest entrant who would continue to make picks while in the lead. so your saying a team in football that has the lead that tries to run the clock out is a punk ass team ? same theory here coach. you were more worried about being called a "name" by people you dont even know rather than play it smart. no rules were broken but you seem to have a problem with a very allowable strategy. YOU HAD THE LEAD AND BLEW IT BECAUSE YOU WERE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT THINK.  

i played all the way up thru the final full week of college football and sat out the championship week, 9 games played, 1 week ass hole and your calling me out. go shove your head between your mothers legs and sob some more. im in the philadelphia area in case you wanna stop over for xmas dinner. 

What I’m baffled by is, who would ever admit that they’re playing not to lose? Well, here he is, people.

Go get ‘em there on the sidelines, big guy. Maybe you can backdoor it. 

WHEN YOU HAVE THE LEAD, ITS YOUR GAME TO LOSE, RIGHT ? THERE ARE 2 WAYS TO LOSE AT THIS POINT, SIT AND LET OTHERS PLAY CATCH UP OR CONTINUE TO PLAY AND GO ON A TERRIBLE RUN AND GIVE IT AWAY. YOU ARENT THE BRIGHTEST STAR IN THIS CONTEST ? ILL PLAY WHEN I NEED TO PLAY.LETS JUST CALL IT "PREVENT DEFENSE" EVER HEAR OF THAT ? ITS DONE IN EVERY SPORT EXCEPT MAYBE TENNIS. AND WERE NOT PLAYING TENNIS SUNSHINE.
