Botched call hurt, but if it was called correctly, it wasn't guaranteed win. Besides, they need to take some accountability themselves for fumbling to begin with.

The Lions got what they deserved. It's amazing to me since I had thought that with the dismissal of Schwartz, they would be much better.

Quote: MidwestAPWeek 4 results and ytd standings are below. Please note that I erroneously listed beachbumbabs 'Car/TB Over 40' selection as $660 on Sunday when it should have been $1650. The correction is made below.
MidwestAP,
I've been offline the last 3 days and missed it initially; thanks very much for finding and correcting the bet report!
steeldco,
Are ya feeling a cold chill comin' up behind ya? $3.32. Really? Hahahaha...
All, esp. wudged :)
This is turning out to be a wild roller-coaster standings year, huh? Glad to see nobody's out of it...yet. lol. miplet! get in there, man!
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

I think some movie or something ;) once said "It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning is winning."Quote: steeldcoNow beachbumbabs, you know that if I end up beating you by $3.32, it will still count. :-)
Oh snap... It just got real in here. I took a week off because while it was ENTIRELY MY FAULT I was a bit salty of how I'd have $15.5k if only I'd messaged Midwest 4 minutes earlier last week =p. I just need to learn to follow the rules!Quote: steeldcoBTW, I know not who is behind me. I have my eyes set on stepping over ATliens bloodied body and eyeballing the target on Ayecarumba;s back.
Anyways, to quote another "movie or something"...
"It's on like Donkey Kong, biotch."

The $15.5K never happened. Maybe it's just your imagination? Trying to stay positive? Nonetheless, I don't even see you in my rearview mirror. :-)

I have a typo on the ARI line, as does TomG. It should be -2.5 in both cases. Not sure that matters except cosmetically.

Well, so far it's been a dog's week, at least on my picks (dog Browns and ever-great Packs won, 3 other favorites didn't cover). All I can say is, Go Birds! or I'll be crippled next week. lol....

Also, for anybody paying really close attention, I had a very small rounding error in my spreadsheet. The only change to the displayed bankrolls was 10DollarBri lost a penny.

No one realizes the amount of swearing that started taking place after 2 ATL turnovers in the red zone and 2 missed FG's by NO... The over/under should have been hit in the first half and yet in the 2nd I was resigned to thinking I'd lost that bet, only to squeak it out in the end =P.

I can imagine. I had a little on NO +3.5, that one always felt pretty solid, but you never know.
The Kentucky/Auburn game had more of my attention as I had Auburn -2.5 and the won by 3, very close.

Greeting all. That was an interesting week. Only the second week the collective group lost, with ATLiens and BBB taking the worst of it. We also have new leader heading into the backstretch, Ayecarumba. Interestingly, at least to me, Romes has grabbed 3rd place with only 10 selections on the year (not counting the ones that came in late). And then there is miplet, who's either missing in action, or playing out some sort of new strategy, time will tell.

London calling this week. Same early deadline as last time? Also, the "win max" goes to level 2 this week.

Thursday picks are below. The selectiona are heavily one sided toward Seattle. I know that steeldco (and the other 6 who didn't pick tonight) are rooting for a Niner upset. Personally, I'm hoping for a low scoring game (Under 42) to pay off on different bet.
miplet, welcome to the game!

I also have the Seahawk's D and was playing AGAINST Kaepernick in Fantasy, so it was a good night of football!Quote: beachbumbabs...For me, whew.

Week 7 lines and prices. As a reminder, all ATS and ML are at -110 unless otherwise noted.
Also, with the early morning Sunday game from London playing out once again, have any selections for this game to me by kickoff. The other games will have the normal deadline of 10:00 eastern. I'll post all selections sometime after 10:00 eastern. Good luck!

Week 7 selections are posted below. This week has the largest handle by far, $105,770. This exceeds the previous high by more than $37K. I anticipate we'll see some swings in the standings with that much in play. Good luck all!

Overall, I had a good week, but I look at this and go, Wow, I did NOT mean to bet on PIT, ever; I even took KC in Mission's game. Don't know where my brain was; think I meant to type KC and PIT was listed first. Ah, well!

I went back to make sure I had it correct. I've had the same moment you just had. I was reviewing my betting slips, and noticed I had the wrong team. Not too good a feeling when your on the losing end of that one.
But yes, overall you did have a good week. For the moment you've jumped up to 4th place. Pretty good recovery from where you were.
