I went with the Chiefs because they're a great team. We both still lost


onenickelmiracle:
Panthers (+4)-confidence
Browns (+7)
Giants (-3)
Seahawks U 48
Jaguars (+3)

My original set. :(



Ive been keeping track of picks and bets people on this forum tell us they liked after the games are over.

In the original picks posted by Mission. ONM had a slate, updated it, so had sent 2 PMs. Mission146 posted both initially, then later removed the outdated ones, so people saw his first cut at it.

He got on my case because I posted that I was starting the baseball betting at 12-2 but I didnt post my picks. So it was untrue as I have at least posted 2 losses.

It's a case of "sure, you say that now" but I decided to go for the "you suck" prize when I made my last pics. If I wander towards the 50-50 prize by accident I might change my mind and go for that.

Dammit forced to use my skip week... Funny enough on one of the online sites I do stuff on they have a weekly "pick 'em" contest and over the whole site (one of the main 5 US player accepting sites) I got 5th w/ 11-4 record.

I will be sure to set up a default, but I also plan to not skip any more weeks!
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

I'm channeling my inner Phil Ivey, and am offering shares in myself. I am in solo first place, running at a 75% clip. I think first place is like $800? And there is some consolation for second and third place?
Anyway, I will sell the first 3 lucky bidders 20% of my winnings for $30. Looking to lock up $90 and keep a 40% interest for myself.






(I don't have a lot of confidence in my picking ability, as previous years results would show....)

So you estimate your current odds of winning to be around 6-1

I haven't put that much exact thought into it. I threw it out there, as the chatter is what interests me more than the exact EV or money. I forgot what second and third place pay, if anything. And I think someone put some 4th place prize as well (Golden ratio?)

I think it would be slightly +EV for someone betting with me.

I'm an honest fellow. But in a subsequent post I did state that I believe anyone taking me up on the offer is getting +EV.

Also, if they have made mediocre picks so far it gives them another low cost rooting interest.

For $30 you get a 20% stake in you... That pays:

$160 if you finish first... A $130 win
$20 if you finish second... A $10 loss
$5 if you finish third... A $25 loss
$0 if you finish worse than third... A $30 loss

You know 4th is just two picks behind you right?

Edit: I think you would get more interest if you sold the 20% stake for $13.

Browns (+7)
Giants (-3)

For $30 you get a 20% stake in you... That pays:

$160 if you finish first... A $130 win
$20 if you finish second... A $10 loss
$5 if you finish third... A $25 loss
$0 if you finish worse than third... A $30 loss

You know 4th is just two picks behind you right?

Edit: I think you would get more interest if you sold the 20% stake for $13.



The modal result for me is first place. I am more likely to win than come in any other specific place.


(Ok... that may be a tad misleading, but it is at least true!)

I think I have at least a 20% chance to win.

Good point. I now think $4.50 is closer to the correct price.

20% chance to win first, that seems high. Odds are anyone in first after a few weeks will be wearing lipstick and blowing it by the end of the year.

Interim results after 4 week's games for BBB sidebets.

Closest to Pi: SOOPOO

Warp Speed (x-0): Miplet, DJATC, JohnZimbo, MidwestAP*

Carbonite Storage (0-x): no qualified candidates.

*Note: I did not consider pushes in determining qualifying weeks. My focus and intent was in celebrating the zero week. Because of that, I am announcing the following rule clarification.

Any week in the latter 2 prizes will qualify for recognition if it includes zero wins or zero losses. Most weeks with a zero wins.

1st tiebreaker will be total number of games on the other end of the zero.

2nd tiebreaker will be overall win percentage.

Skip weeks and forfeits do not qualify. Played weeks do, even if the player later quits the game.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

So there are two games without lines? Or over under lines as well? I think you should make that clear rather than posting team names with no numbers. Thanks.

Both of those games have odds at VegasInsider, where I think Mission gets his information. I think it’s a glitch but Mission should clarify.

. I hope Mission fixes this. It is not in the spirit of the game to take advantage of sleepy typos. At the end of the season I like to see how the group has done overall. Giving an extra 8 points crossing both 3's makes the stats at the end of the year rubbish.

Since this is a competition I will be forced to take SF +4 if it stays that way. 70% it wins.

Ed has said before, he doesn't care what the + or - value is. He plugs in the line for all teams for that week, then when our picks are posted, he just inputs the teams, not the spread. Same with over/under.

That said, I'm waiting for Mission to fix these lines before I put in a set of picks. I would appreciate the right to stay in the ONM Friday pick pool if the picks don't get fixed fast enough, and I would hope that's universal, but I guess ONM would have a say in that, too.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

These will be the lines, it is what it is. I think I might have messed up the Browns game putting that in manually because I noticed that there were not Lines from that one. Aside from that, it's just what the converter on Miplet's site put. Maybe something to do with that I did it from my phone?

I wasn't sleepy, though, lol...just trying to go too quickly. I'd been awake for two hours.

Anyway, I'm sorry, I had a bunch of places to go and would be volunteering until 12:30, no access to an actual computer until 1:00, so that's what happened. I'll edit my post in this and the Official thread with the information above. I'll make sure to do it from a computer from now on.

As far as end of the year standings, just exclude that game.

Miplet's site worked fine from my computer, but I definitely did it on my phone using the same process. I have as much computer knowledge as a toilet seat, but I'm just going to chalk it up to doing it from my phone.

"As far as end of the year standings, just exclude that game." What does this mean?

If we pick 49ers +4, and we win does that mean that our win in this game does not count in final standings?

If we pick 49ers +4, and we lose does our loss in this game count in final standings?

What if we pick the Browns -4 and we win? Or we lose? Do those games count in the final standings?

I imagine that some persons may have already submitted picks and perhaps have picked 49ers +4. Do those picks count?

I feel a sense of creeping confusion and chaos.

SOOPOO said he likes to see how we do at the end, I’m saying just don’t include this game for that reason. One time VI actually had a clearly erroneous line that I didn’t catch. Hardly unprecedented.

The pick counts as far as the game is concerned.

Im still confused. Naturally i took SF +4, what a bargain, almost got scared Jimmy G was hurt. This has to count, lines are lines, post them, they're final. If you dont read from the list, you should, these are the official lines to choose from. How can a pick be a pick, if it doesnt count as a pick in the end of year standings? Everyone has an opportunity to still take SF+4 right now. Changing mine to confidence right now.

I agree. It is what it is. Everyone has the same opportunity to pick or not. Confidence or not. And we all know the Browns will end up covering the four...



30% chance. Approximately.

This will be an interesting week.
There may be some who are close to the bottom that see Browns -4 as an opportunity to try and secure last place.
There may be some mid pack that know the frontrunners will be taking the 49ers and see an opportunity to pick up 2 games on all of them by taking the Browns.
There may be a 'hedger' who will pick the 49ers but not as a confidence pick.

Before this error, I was going to take Browns +4 as my confidence pick. I think they just have so much talent, and talent usually (eventually?) wins out.

But I guess I'll have to take the free 8 points and go 49ers +4.

Excellent observations.
