<font color="green"> babigm! </font> For several reasons, he is awarded "first" place this week (mainly because of his compilation post- have to reward hard work!)

But, there were <font color="green"> five </font> perfect records this week, out of the 62 who participated! And the majority of you are in the black- nicely done!

Make sure to let me know if your results are wrong- I'm pretty sure, but just in case...

<font color=" green"> (Oh, the title change? Well, I got some intense pressure from the lawyers here at 2+2, threatening all kinds of mayhem if I violated the trademark. PLUS they said I'd have to return all of my 2+2 books.... so, there you have it!) </font> /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I've listed the results without (with) a 10% vig.

[i] ** I'm posting my score under protest! I was "scalfied"!!


[AND IN A CATEGORY ALL BY HIMSELF, THE MASTER....]
scalf $-1,000 0-4-

</pre><hr />

(Formatting THAT was a pain!)

Some things to note:
<font color="red">
- No ties this week!

- Notice how "breaking even".... isn't.... and how the vig almost doubles the cost of a single loss for some people?

- Notice how weighting the games properly is the key, not compiling a good win/loss record (Big Al and others were 50/50 and still made more money than several 3-1 handicappers- an important lesson here!)

<font color="purple">- How many people would have picked $400 Vikings if Big Al hadn't first posted his Shoe In? We'll never know...

<font color="green">- scalf, I'm proud of you- you cleverly avoided paying any vig! Now you've gotten your perfect "Scalfie Week" out of the way- on to your first 4-0 week!
[i] (for the rest of you, scalf finished 5th last year, so don't be fooled...)

$100- Cardinals +10.5

mistyped 400 as -400. You are 3-1- and +$600 (520)

You also pointed out that I have the vig wrong for all of that group (week 1, working out the kinks, will be my excuses! ) /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I've corrected it, you'll see the change in next week's results post.

Thanks for catching that- if you go 4-0 next week, you get declared the Week 2 champ!

You forgot to put up scalf's result with the vig, making it look even worse.

Oh, and where can I collect my $330 from?

Is this going to be an ongoing contest with weekly &amp; cumulative resluts?

It looks like Easy E thought Cinci covered when they didn't
My picks seem to have the Cinci gift as well.

No vig on losing bets, only winning ones, here at 3+1 Sports Network

Yes, weekly and yearly cumulative. The true winner is the year-long winner- weekly "winner" is just for bragging rights.

I was trying to sneak you some extra cash! Only a few lucky handicappers get my "Bengals pick didn't REALLY count" special bonus! Don't tell Big Al and others!

(dammit)

I was planning a review of all the results after the swimfan goof. That will HAVE to happen sooner than I thought. I will review everyone's picks on my sheet and post the updated standings later on.

Thanks

Everyone I screw up, no vig on your bets for week #2!

once I go back and correct all of my sloppy errors.

I expect my precision AND my handicapping to improve this week.

Sorry, all.

Isn't that backwards from how it's usually done? I know a pretty big bookie guy and a $100 bet wins $100 but if you lose you owe $110.

Easy E

It's not really a $100 bet, it's a $110 bet that wins $100 or loses the $110.

I was joking with my post. You haven't gotten used to my "humor" yet.

The way that I've been adding things up lately, you might end up below scalf when I "correct" things later!

I've listed the updated results without any vig. However, the $0 are in red because they really didn't break even.

Okay, I've corrected the backwards bets, the misnaming of an alias, the phantom handicapper and everything else, I believe. Hopefully that's it? /images/graemlins/crazy.gif
