Anything can happen. There have been a few $6000 winning nights and if I remember correctly you did drop from 14,000 to a buck and change in a few days. Better be smart about your picks. Still alot of time left.

Good Luck

Thanks for the advice.... Not seeing anyone that had the 6k night, but I'll take a few days off then and see what happens. I'll be happy with a top 3.

I think next year we should shake things up and allow runlines and parlays. Let's separate the men from the boys.

Ryangene · #44 (**permalink**) 07-20-08, 07:38 PM

Stock- I don't think that wagerline has those options or is able to do that. I'd agree 100% as I'd love to roll that way.

I love betting RL's but I way stay away from the parlays really.

Parlays are taboo for a lot of people, but look at it this way. There are plenty of night that the Red Sox and Yankees or the Red Sox and Cubs win on the same night. There are plenty of other teams that could fit into this combo. I would rather chance a parlay than lay -200 on a top tier pitcher to have him lose. Now I have to won 2 games just to get even, where if I play the same parlay the next night and it hits, I am still ahead without even doubling up. Anways, looks like you 2 are going to fight it out for 1st and 2nd, I layed a lot of chalk today looking to make up some ground. I still have an outside shot at 3rd.

Stock here is some info that I've tracked this year using similar teams.

69 times this year (Boston, NY, Cubs, and Ana) have played on the same day.
Out of those 69 times, SIX (6) Times ALL 4 TEAMS HAVE WON, on the same day
They have played 81 times total on the same day (BUT some days was Boston vs. Yanks, Boston vs. Angels SO bets wouldnt have been placed that day)

Sometimes 1 of the teams has a day off, When that has happened if you would have taken
the 3 teams that are playing and parlay them if it were (boston, yanks, cubs) or (cubs, yanks, ana)
a 3 team parlay would have hit 7 times out of 13 total days when there were just 3 of the 4 playing.

92 days this year both Yankees and The Angels have played on the same day They have won 25 Times on the same day

89 days this year both Boston and The Cubs have played on the same day. They have both won on the same day 31 times.

90 days this year both NY and The Cubs have played on the same day. They have both won 30 Times on the same day.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for the info Ryan. It looks as though that system would pay pretty good even with them all winning on the same day a little over a third of the time. You figure most parlays pay at least +140 and sometimes up to +225 just for 2 teams.

Agree 100% of the time. I have a spreadsheet of this that I've been doing quite well on and was thinking of posting my plays here full time but wanted to make sure the system was making money before I got it out there. There are some teams that I parlay against with 3 team parlays as well and doing O.K.

That's the way to make money. Laying -200 all year on a favorite isn't going to cut it. You hit 2 or 3 parlays in a week and you can easily be up 10 units a week.

Ryangene · #51 (**permalink**) 07-25-08, 10:32 AM

Man i love watching the war happen in spots 2 to 5. Fighting it out trying to make the top 3. The someone moves to the 2nd spot and doesn't make any picks. They get passed and start making picks only to blow it and drop to 4th spot. The final 3 days are going to be fun to follow.

HammerTime · #52 (**permalink**) 07-26-08, 04:08 PM

If I have a winning day today it might wrap up the 2nd spot.

Ozark3577 · #53 (**permalink**) 07-27-08, 12:49 PM

The contest ends tommorow night or tonight?

HammerTime · #54 (**permalink**) 07-27-08, 08:36 PM

I think tomorrow but things are getting pretty hairy.

Ryangene · #55 (**permalink**) 07-27-08, 11:40 PM

I also took it as tomorrow ending. Got a couple of people on two game win streaks going for three and 1 person looking for the rebound. Best of luck.

stockpicker7 · #56 (**permalink**) 07-27-08, 11:50 PM

As far as I know, it ends after tomorrow's games. I plan on going 22-0 tomorrow and defending my title

HammerTime · #57 (**permalink**) 07-28-08, 12:49 AM

Well it looks like that is boys. It won't let my make any more picks so it must be over. I lose out on 2nd by $15. Damn.

AboveTheVig · #58 (**permalink**) 07-28-08, 09:48 AM

Damn. I could use a little more time. I kinda forgot about it in June. I was making a run. Went from like 40th place to 8th in the last couple weeks.

Ryangene · #59 (**permalink**) 07-28-08, 11:56 AM

100% enjoyed the contest CappersLounge. I look forward to the one next year and for one if we end up having during the Football season.

Dates

Contest Starts: April 24th, 2008
Contest Ends: July 28th, 2008

Someone screwed up but congrats to the winners(with astericks***)

If it ended yesterday it was the 27th. Didnt make sense that it would end on a Mnnday but thats the part that someone dropped the ball. Should've cut off when I was 12,400 in the plus in first. Second easy.
