I was one of the fools on Day 1 who thought I could make ANY 4 picks from the available sports & as such, when I showed up to pick all NBA from the evening card, I was rudely awakened to the fact that I was limited to 1 play in each sport. All that was left for me in addition to the NBA, was 2 late NHL plays (which I didn't like), so I forced a guess (lost) & finished the day with 1 win ... 3,600th PLACE!!! From that point on, I never went on an unreal 12-0 run or anything like. In fact, I only managed one 4-0 day this entire first week. I just strung together a few 3-1 days & even had a 2-2 day as well & at the end of Week 1, I still managed to rally from 3,600th place all the way back to 73rd & just 3 wins in back of first. I'm still not in the prize picture, but it only took 6 days to go from catastrophic to right back in the thick of things. It's still way too early to be procaliming 18-1 starts the favorite to win or for someone 3000 spots back to be giving up. Trust me, I know this firsthand, so hang in there & best of luck to everyone the rest of the way!

||an_clap.gif' border=0> Thanks Wes! Sounds good to me! Plus, you said what I have been thinking all along. That it is still relatively early in this whole thing and that there is still time for a lot of movement in the rankings. You have reinforced my hope! ||reallyhappy.gif' border=0> Good luck to you too! ||clover.gif' border=0>

OH NO, 06! You are only NINE (9) away from $5,000! The leaders can't miss one in 18 Days to be in the final push. Possible but not probable. You on the other hand should get busy and get tomorrows schedules and do yur computing today then get the odds when they post, rethink and be ready. Take one at a time and check injuries, home court or field and don't forget to see who they beat, not just the scores! Now, Who do I think I am anyway? I'm your worst enemy. I'm the one ahead of you with 14 Wins. So don't give me this REAL stuff- IT AIN"T OVER TILL ITS OVER!!!! ||an_wink.gif' border=0>

your already done if you have a record like mine 5 games under, trying to catch someone 17 games on the plus side. 22 game swing with 70 something games left. That is not going to happen.

I think I'll need a stiff drink after tonight; just to get up the guts to try again. I felt great on day 1 of the race= 4-0. Since then it's been downhill just when I thought I got the hang of 'capping.

Hey 666LES Yeah that friggin' exhibition MLB has me totally stumped. Couple of times i check the starting pitchers (not that it matters, most starters get 2 innings or they are on a pitch count). I got so fucking frustrated with exhibition MLB, I close my eyes, randomly select a team, and I still get royally FUCKED! I'm out of it. GL 2 E-1 else!!! O6
