MLB Contest Friday August 28th

[jumperjack]

Please post all your plays for Friday as a reply to this post.
I will allow plays to be posted until the start of the Twins game which starts at 7:10 EST. Also put all your plays together in 1 post if at all possible, and do not edit your original post to add plays to it. If any games you post are PPD. and you want to maintain the max 5 plays I will allow you to post an added play as long as it is posted before the deadline stated. Thanks.

To make it easier for me to post lines I will be copying and pasting the previous day's post so I don't have to type out all the team names every day. This will mean the games might not be in rotation order, or in order of starting time. I backspace out the previous day's lines so if you see no numbers next to the -/+ there is no line for that game yet.

1. No daily minimum for plays. As we near the end of the contest I will impose a daily minimum to keep the leader from sandbagging a large lead.
2. Max 5 plays a day
3. All plays will be counted as 1 unit
4. Winner will be decided by bankroll $$ won not winning %
5. If you post late (after the 1st night game starts each day), no penalty, your picks just will not count that day. If you miss posting any days, your bankroll will not change. If anyone does not post any plays for 3 straight days they are DQ'd.

Re: MLB Contest Friday August 28th

Posted this in response to a discussion that took place in Thursday's thread. Am reposting here so that my response gets seen. Thanks.

///

Meestermike, As JJ said, suspending the game would of course be to the benefit of the guys in the lead, that would be you, me, and Puckluck. I was ribbing you because I had noticed what I stated. I never expected to get an "I'm going home response". I don't want that and never would.

I had a huge lead and could have easily milked it to a contest win. But playing the game, five picks most days, is more important to me so if I fell back everyone would get reinvigorated. If I continued to draw away, so be it. But I stated a few times that everything was falling my way and that my gambling experience has taught me that I could never expect to continue at that pace. Sure enough, I lost something like 23 of 25. But I kept putting in my five plays and will do so most every night to the finish because I want everyone to have fun more than I want to win. You included.

Thomas is also my friend. I have more respect for him than anyone else on this board. And there are a few other guys I respect a whole, whole lot. And several more I respect a lot. So I don't want to upset one of Tom's friends. I really, really don't.

My apologies if my response seemed too harsh.

Please continue playing. We've got a long way to go.

JJ, thanks for doing what you are doing. I've run contests. It's a lot of work. Sorry if I mucked things up for you and anyone else. Thanks .
