“ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR UNIT”

I don’t want to tempt fate…but 2 Weeks in a Row in the Black for the 1st time this season!…2 Plays missed on the ½ point on the ‘Nati/Miami due to ending on a Safety instead of a Field Goal means we finish 17-10-0…a 63% Win Rate and adding $430 back to the Virtual Piggybank…Burgess is the only player to go perfect…but 6 other players went 2-1…Kevin remains in the lead with a 57.4% Win Rate and Shawn is in the Black behind him at 55.6%…3 other players are at 50% or better and just 1 more good week away from the Black

We finished in the BLACK in a big bad way!…for the first time since Week 2 the bankroll grew instead of diminishing…Shawn went 3-0…Kevin just missed on the KC cover and joined every other player as we all ended 2-1…19-8-0 is a 70.4% Win Rate and puts $830 back into the starving Virtual Piggy Bank…Kevin is the only player back in the BLACK for the season…but Shawn is a win away with a 54.2% Win rate…Hernandez and Huss are right on .500 with everyone else trying to climb back in…

We have to get this going in the right direction…but with this week’s pick distribution I think it will either be a huge win or a huge loss…We automatically start with a split on Washington/Denver totals  with an over and under both being played…5 Units wagered on Green Bay…3 people got in on the Early Tuesday line…while 2 stragglers have to lay 2 extra points…3 units on Carolina…well 1 play and 2 on the over…double shots on New England, and the overs on Seattle/St Louis and SanFran/Jacksonville…Hunters NCAA picks…and some singles…Good Luck everyone…

No better quote to describe the abyss that is the virtual piggy bank after Week 7…9-17-1 is our 3rd worst weekend of the year throwing another $1,070 worth of gas onto the fire…Gasper, Kevin, and Hernandez found the black side of the ledger at 2-1…but we are all still in the red for the season…

Detroit is the most popular play this weekend with 3 Units wagered on the Under-Field-Goal line…double shots on Chicago, Denver, and New England…and then single plays every where else…Huss is our ‘Hottest’ over the last 3 weeks going 6-3-0 including perfect last week…unless you count betting the opposite of Gasper which would have netted you 7-1-1…Good Luck everybody…

Well…at least it’s a step in the right direction…TDQBITU comes thru with a last minute TD to swap 3 WINs to PUSHes making us 11-12-4 on the weekend…out $100 and the vig…but there were some high spots…Huss managed a perfect 3-0 and Shannon ended ‘lossless’ at 2-0-1…Kevin goes 2-1-0 as Shawn falls 0-2-1 to end tied for the “lead” at a 52.8% win rate…

Everybody think positive thoughts as we need all the good karma we can get for our bankrolls…Everyone submitted plays on the early lines…the most popular play being “Why are the Saints getting points?”…Three units on that with another on the Over…Two non-Bucs believer plays on Philly…and everything else is scatter shot across the board…Hunter’s NCAA Lock of the Week is NIU…

Brady snaps his streak toward the consecutive game with a touchdown title…Seattle falls to a bid of bad Luck…and 99 points…but not in the Overs we played means more bad news for the Virtual Piggy Bank…New blood in the contest did not help as Hernandez joins Gasper, Burgess, and Miller in the 0-Fer club in Week 5…Shannon managed only 1-2 betting on undefeateds…and everyone else goes 2-1…9-18-0 is a paltry 33.3% win rate sliding us another $1,170 into the hole…For the season we sit at 48-69-6 after 5 weeks…a 41.5% win rate and -$3,330…poor piggy…

“ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR UNIT”

Players wanted to quickly forget the Week 4 outcome as I was bombarded with picks before I even sent out the Tuesday Board…This week should be either Really Good or Really Bad as we are all on only a handful of games…5 players jumped on the early line where New England was getting 2½ at the Hilton…3 plays are on the Saints (with the over)…Double Shots on Kansas City, Seattle, and Atlanta…and Hunter got Kevin to jump in with him on his Lock of the Week – Ohio State…We normally do not allow late entries…but Hernandez just found out about the contest and insisted we let him play…he’s a fellow Dol-Fan and backs his picks up by taking them to the local STIB…so I allowed it…The virtual piggy bank needs all the help it can get…
