2018 WoV Picks game (discussion thread)

Results and standings edited.

If this was my mistake, my apologies. I don't know what happened. (If it was my first mistake, it was the first one in the last couple of years, I think. I pride myself on my accuracy.)

Quote: EdCollins

Mission, did you edit it after you initially posted it early Sunday morning? I cut and paste directly from your post. My paste cut shows no Confidence.

I don’t know, but my never edited post shows Wizard with a confidence on Arizona. As does my PM, but I’d have to text you that screenshot.

No, I believe you... I don't need a screen shot... but I'm just trying to wrap my head around how that part of the pick got lost.

Thanks.

No big deal, sorry about the hassle. Did the parentheses have an affect?

Nope.

I thought maybe that was it... you nailed it. I have an UNGRADE button which ungrades all weeks, if desired. Normally the result (a win or a loss or a push) is listed in parenthesis. UNGRADE strips the result and just leaves just the pick. I thought maybe it was inadvertently stripping the word "confidence" too... but it doesn't appear that it is. It appears to be doing everything as designed.

I'll keep an eye on it.

It’s official. I suck.

Bet the farm on Denver, mission likes them and loves them when paired with a good BBC. No

Edited: in his mouth or his butt mouth. Smiley face. With a bottle of Chianti. When he's drinking his liquor, and hungry for cheeseburgers, it probably wakes up with both.

Go Broncos! (Oops)

So I guess I have figured out how to play this game. step 1. use kids and random games of chance to make picks. step 2. dont have enough time in the week to watch any football.

One thing is for sure, I am gunning for the you suck prize at this point.

If this is what you left up, I'd hate to see what you edited out.

Boof!

Stupid panthers winning but not covering... Eh, 3-3 I'll take it?

DJATC, I'm hoping you're live betting your action too. 20-3, who you given "favors" to for your information???

DJATC, I will be in Vegas next weekend. I will gladly give you "favors" if you give me your lock of the week.

Since I wasn't suspended, I made a $30 donation in honor of Mission to the Trevorproject.org.

The lines arent even posts. Something is fishy here.

Funny thing is I’d never even heard of that until your post, is there something you want to tell us?

I think it's wrong making homophobic jokes, I made one out of habit being here, and I punished myself financially.

Added: Duh I googled gay charities and read into them.

No no no. Bird teams. Not Dolphins.

Sounds like you’re on the Dolphins this week.

I’ll use that knowledge to my advantage.

Now that DJatc used his skip week to hide during Week 5, he can't hide anymore for the next 12 weeks. He has to make at least 60 more picks and I think DJatc is similar to large pendulous breasts - because gravity is going to pull him down.

The chase is on to catch DJatc.

Gravity pulls one down more than the other IMO

Bruh he gets his info from me (20-7 for the season so far).

We dont have to worry about DJ cause he will definitely forget picks at least once. 0-6 here he comes

Looks like a lot of picks on the BUF BILLS ( 14 units ) and the CLE BROWNS ( 13 units ), assuming I counted those up correctly.

Ugh I failed to realize there was a London game today. I love betting unders in London games.

I'm drunk on weekends late night.

5-1. Don’t call it a comeback.

Wtf. 5-1 and gonna lose ground

Another one of my sophisticated picking systems does it again.

Might go 6-0 depending on this rams game

Hold your applause yet another week

0-2-1 so far. Not looking good, either.

Def in contention for the u suck prize this season. Thinking about fading my own picks next week.

2-2 with a confidence pick that looks like it will loose

How ‘bout those Browns?

It's djatc's world, we are just living in it.

If you really suck, you'll do better not changing a thing. If you fade your own picks, I'd think you would be more likely to start winning.

Maybe it’s posdible to be so bad at this and have luck so horrible that the moment you start fading your picks is when your picks would’ve started doing well

The assumption is the player sucks more than average, not that luck is worse than average, but either may be true. You can discount a system as being invalid, but it's hard to pin whether the internal musings of a person are good or bad before the games are played. Most of us I think are not using just data besides a few people, most are using no data at all per se, besides whatever may come to mind about past events, maybe some games seen, articles read, sports videos seen, friendly discussions, etc. I could kill the data people if they weren't allowed to use it, they suck donkey ass without it, and don't have a clue.

MGM called. They would like to interview you.

I am orbiting the bowl and going down the drain. 0-4 and waiting on the final indignity.

Bengals, with some help from the refs, bungled the OT. Pats missed covering by 1/2 of a point.

And DJatc continued his pristine Virgin Mary streak. And OneNickleMiracle is knocking on my mother's door.
