Oh the poor virtual piggy bank…as the government shuts down…the VPG goes deeper into deficit spending…7-13-4 is only a 35% win rate and puts us another $840 in the hole to sit at -$2,160 on the season…yechh…Only Hunter and his NCAA picks went positive at 2-0-1…five other players managed 1 Win…the 3 other pushes came on both sides of the Houston/Seattle game…Here is the carnage…
Cutting it close…I know..but they are up before kickoff…Hunter posted his A&M Lock already…3 plays on the early Dallas line…3 Plays on Cincy if you count the OVER…2 on Houston…and some one offs…Lets put some cash back into that virtual piggy bank…
Three weeks in and we are still waiting for a big weekend…12-11-1 is a 52.2% win rate…Over .500 on paper…but still -$140 to the virtual piggy bank when the vig is involved…Shawn is the leader with his third 2-1 weekend in a row…Shannon slides back while Gasper climbs up to 5-4 to stay in the BLACK…Huss finds a second Push to stay just ahead of Miller who is in our biggest hole…Everyone else sits at 4-5 with the surface just in sight…
Week 2 got us back in the right direction…lets build on it in Week 3…picks fall all over the board with little duplication…We double up on units for Tampa Bay as a road dog, Dallas as a FG+ favorite at home, and Chicago as a slight road favorite…Everything else is a single shot play with Shawn and Miller going head-2-head on the Green Bay/Cincy matchup…Good luck everybody…
Our degenerate heroes end 14-10-0 in Week 2…a 58.33% Win Rate…Good enough to stay in the BLACK +$160 after the vig…but we are still -$1,180 in the Virtual Piggy Bank…Hunter comes back from the 0-3 start getting our first 3-0 Weekend on the year with his NCAA plays…Shannon, Gasper, Shawn, and Kevin all go 2-1-0…and everyone else ends on 1-2-0…Shannon and Shawn still sit as the only players in the BLACK for the season after 2 Weeks at 66.7%…Gasper and Hunter have climbed back to 50% and are only down the vig on 6 games…Let’s get ready for Week 3…
Week 1 was a huge disappointment…lets get the ship righted in Week 2…New Orleans and Indy are the most popular plays with 3 each followed by Buffalo with 2 plays as the underdog…Our current leaders: Shannon takes 2 road dogs and one of 3 plays on Overs…Shawn takes points on three dogs of his own…Good Luck everyone…
We are off to a good start with the first scheduled post arriving on time!
And that is the end of the good news…as far as the picks themselves in Week 1…
Well …yeah…they just sucked ass is what they did…apparently our heroes have a little rust to knock off from the off-season…Only Shannon and Shawn managed to pair up 2 winning picks to start the season in the Black…Gasper and Burgess both found 1 winner…and new player Huss PUSH-ed his way to half a win…Everyone else took the goose eggs as our group finishes 6-17-1 to start the season…The horrid 27% win-rate means our Virtual Piggybank is already on life support sitting at $1,340 to the negative…Full results below:
Here we go! After a tremendously successful season in 2012…What? You didn’t read the 2012 Year End review post ? That magnificent post breaking down our top successes and the Week so bad we dare not say it’s name? Oh yeah…I didn’t finish it yet…it’s coming don’t worry. Just take my word for it…we were awesome in 2012. But the 2013 Season is here now and we all start on $0 in the virtual piggybank. Riley is dropping from the contest, but Huss is going to step up and take his place. Here are your winners for Week 1!
“ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR UNIT”We may be in the Playoffs for TBFL action….but the 5-Star Contest still has 4 Weeks to go to crown our 2012 Handicapping Champion…The Falcons are the hot play this week with 5 units being wagered…The Colts are the next favorite with 3 plays…but we already start 1-1 with Miller and Riley going head-2-head on the Redskins/Ravens match-up…Hunter is on the hottest streak over the last 3 Weeks at 9-0 and now ventures into his 1st week with no NCAA action…Burgess continues to lead the season with no losing weekends on the year…Good Luck everybody…
“ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR UNIT”It’s the worst week we have had all year…and we finish right on .500 out only the $240 vig…leaving the virtual bankroll at $5,380…Hunter is streaking late as he goes 3-0 for the 3rd week in a row…Miller bounces back from last week with his own 3-0 weekend and moves back into 2nd place…Burgess continues his remarkable run of no losing weekends…After 13 Weeks he is the only player still on single digit losses (Yes, ties count as ½ losses so Miller has 10)…
