Jerky big time. Doesn't work for less than $250 contest. You see what it took just to make him make a video

@theriver55 thanks for the opportunity to kick your classy ass this will be fun Mr. Pop Tart . I’m all in on NBA after The Masters.

BOL to both of you fellas. Remember - since this contest is slated to run through the entire NBA Playoffs (approximately 2 months or so) it should be treated as a marathon and not a sprint. So pace yourselves … be selective and try not to force too many plays early (unless you really like something).

THX Lonnie but we have to remember that the offerings get less as it moves down the line. We don't want to get caught in a situation where we forced to make a play late just to realize our max possibilities. And just to be clear you don't have to make all 50 plays each. Player with most wins irrespective of number of plays scores.

I know JDS is sharp with NCAAB as he won that 10 legger. But have not seen his NBA picks that much so we shall see.

Good point about opportunities lessening as the playoffs move forward.

As far as not having to make 50 plays I’d think you’d want to since the winner is whoever has the most wins. Someone who makes only 45 plays for instance has 5 less chances to pick up wins as opposed to someone who makes 50 plays. So whether you make them early when there are more available opportunities or late when opportunities are dwindling, I’d say it behooves you to make all 50 plays.

Once again - cool contest and GL to both of you.

True I am just saying if JDS Has 35 win out of 45 and I have 30 out of 46 the game is essentially over. I will probably complete the roll no matter what.

Got’cha. I understand - you’re saying if one player has clinched the contest is over and no more selections need to be made.

if JDS approves I will say join us and knock down the buy in to $200. so $400 to the winner. Only thing is will add team totals to the mix if you play as only 1 person can pick a specific side. JDS check in. Let me know that you think Sam?

 

[theriver55]

so it would be side/game totals from ESPN. team totals from BOL.

Rules say 50 plays max. Whats the minimum plays?

no MIN. wins only count. no vig. ties are a loss. SO makes sense to play the max but if you are far enough ahead game is over with less than 50 plays.
