well, ,literally it was 6 UP (not 5 Up), 2 Even and 13 down.
And two of the contestants, Wizard and Miplet, are playing a high risk, high reward approach - betting the biggest underdogs on the money line. They would be expected to be down on most of the rounds.
Other contestants were also going taking measured risks by betting underdogs (e.g., the Giants and Jags) on the moneyline because the contest pays out to the top three finishing bankrolls, not to people with the most successful picks.

So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

My strategy is to try and break even and let the field mess up.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

I excelled at basically breaking even this weekend.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

Is there a word for the opposite of trash-talk? If there is, that's what our contestants are doing.

I know you aren’t multi posting on purpose……. But it’s still a crime! Sentence yourself to a 3 hour suspension!
I have to eat so much crow after the Bills folding up the tents….
