I'm guessing, that unless something goes terribly wrong, Nathan has this in the bag. The rest of us can do it for the e-pride then.

No 10 point bonus, eh?

That'll bode well for my horse (Nathan).

Yep, I was hoping for more games today, to include a nice bonus, and see some major movement in the Top 5. But I guess Nathan got lucky.

Too bad I missed almost all of MLK day points, I could have clinched the second spot. Nathan has been damn solid during all the contest, no way I could have been in the run !

Props to him ! a well deserved win

Last night I was sure I would have 1 or 2 pts more from IND and Dal. It just wasn't the case when I woke up.

I hate you guys for acting like four points is guaranteed. None of these picks are locks,imho. Although someone does need to pick the opposite of all my pick to get the full ten.

I can see all three of those games going either way.

I'm currently taking under on the bonus questions simply because I feel it's the safe pick.(possible blowout) Certainly both of them are capable of going over.

Tbh, I'm still considering switching my Uta,Mia, and Lebron Under (mostly the bold because Lebron likes to shit on the Lakers in the regular season).

Does anyone know what Kobe and Lebron avg in the 4th qtr.

Thanks for the competition. :toast

Haven't seen them play since the beginning of the season. They looked like trash then but somehow they have a nice record not... combined with home court and Mavs on a b2b. I had to go with them.

Same here. They've been on a tear in the new year and I think they can put away a slow Dallas.

11 games has nothing to do with it. First to 150. Right?

Spur_Fanatic
01-19-2012, 11:43 PM
Yes, is first to 150.

Spur_Fanatic
01-19-2012, 11:43 PM
But, obviously, if many people cross the 150 barrier the same day, the one highest will win it all.

Nathan89
01-19-2012, 11:45 PM
Wait. So the first to 150 isn't the winner? Ain't that some shit.

Nathan89
01-19-2012, 11:46 PM
Yes, is first to 150.


But, obviously, if many people cross the 150 barrier the same day, the one highest will win it all.

These two comment mean two different things to me.

Spur_Fanatic
01-19-2012, 11:46 PM
LOL, no. If you get to 150 pts, and no one else did that same thing on the very same day you did, of course you win. It would not be fair, because if I have 2 guys with 149 points, and one of them reaches 150 pts just because I did his math before the other, right?

Spur_Fanatic
01-19-2012, 11:47 PM
Hope is clear now.

Spur_Fanatic
01-19-2012, 11:49 PM
Chances are you'll win it tomorrow anyway, if you don't today.

Aside of what I said earlier, I would prefer you win it today for sure: It would save me the trouble of organizing a new betting day, with 11 games on it.

jeebus
01-19-2012, 11:49 PM
Wait. So the first to 150 isn't the winner? Ain't that some shit.

tbh today was the day you were supposed to win. But since tomorrow is a big game day with a big bonus, it'd be anyone's game.

If I get 2 quick point on two early games I should win. Because up until that point everybody has played the exact same games. I just reached the finish line first.

Spur_Fanatic
01-19-2012, 11:53 PM
Let's imagine this, Nathan. Tomorrow, VBM or ray (with 138 pts) win 12 pts. because I do their math before yours, they get to 150 pts before you.

It would not be fair to you.

Today you had a great chance to win it, because no matter how perfect the ones close to you were, they coudn't catch your score. Tomorrow, they do have a chance (if they do well, and at the same time, you screw up)

They'll both have more point by tomorrow. It's anyone game if that's the case. I was always under the assumption that the first one to 150 would win. Which in my mind if I get 2 early games tomorrow I should win. It's fair, tbh. They had the opportunity to play every game till that point.

Spur_Fanatic
01-20-2012, 12:12 AM
Ok, I have a problem here.

I, basically and textually, said "first to 150 pts". But the true idea all the time was that the winner would be the one with the highest score after someone hits 150 pts. I'm torn here, I have no preferences, nor I have any chance to win it tomorrow myself.

I need more input on this issue.

Any of the low scorers (those with no chance to win, today or tomorrow) have an opinion on this issue?

Personally, I don't want to do tomorrow a 11 games match (the more games, the harder is to check and rechck all scores of the day). But at the same time, doing a 11 games match, so that can only one contestant just needs the first 2 games to be right to win it all doesn't seem very fair to me. What if someone ends up the day with more pts than Nathan tomorrow?

I want suggestions. If I'm not convince, I'll sleep it over and decide myself.

Nathan89
01-20-2012, 12:14 AM
I know VBM is the only one that's going to push for this. Because when rayjay was on vacation I posted his predictions for him and when Brazil was missing games I PM'd him to let him know there was a bunch of early games.

I need a ruling. If you can't decide you can seek higher authority(Kori Ellis).

Honestly, Nathan should be penalized if he doesn't clinch tonight. The people demand the top score designation...

I, basically and textually, said "first to 150 pts". But the true idea all the time was that the winner would be the one with the highest score after someone hits 150 pts. I'm torn here, I have no preferences, nor I have any chance to win it tomorrow myself.

I need more input on this issue.

Any of the low scorers (those with no chance to win, today or tomorrow) have an opinion on this issue?

Personally, I don't want to do tomorrow a 11 games match (the more games, the harder is to check and rechck all scores of the day). But at the same time, doing a 11 games match, so that can only one contestant just needs the first 2 games to be right to win it all doesn't seem very fair to me. What if someone ends up the day with more pts than Nathan tomorrow?

I want suggestions. If I'm not convince, I'll sleep it over and decide myself.

"First to 150". So if I get the early games I will be first.

Lets let Seppe have final say. He's older and wiser than all of us.

Yes, I recall you helped rayray and Brazil. I'll take it into consideration, I assure you. And yes, I may ask Kori's opinion on the issue.

Kori has no say in this. + she'll be a pain in the ass with it.

This is your contest, SF. You made the rules to begin with and they said first to 150.

Honestly, Nathan should be penalized if he doesn't clinch tonight. The people demand the top score designation...

:lmao Penalized for not clinching tonight.

Was tonight the deadline?

I don't like it either, cause it was my fault by just stating "First to 150 pts" instead of fully explaining the idea I had from the start. But I can't penalize Nathan because I failed to further explain it on every game thread.

I'm neutral. Seppe is unconsequential here.

But I assure everyone here, that if there is more fighting here, I'll start removing points from everyone involved.

Seppe, be quiet. Nathan doesn't need your help.

Ok, I've decided (and my drunks agreed).

I can't change the rules now, even if they are wrong. First to 150 pts will be.

If Nathan doesn't win today, tomorrow scores will be scored as they come. Meaning all contestant will be scored at the same time as well (which I never did before, because it was a pain in the ass for me). Whoever gets to 150 pts first, will win.

Top 5 guys will get 2 bonus points next round.
Everyone else that played today, 1 bonus point.

Many thing have already happened to put me in this situation.

Indiana blew a lead late yesterday.
Billups hit a big shot to win the game.
Brown decided to play Kobe in the 4th while losing by 20. Ruin the two point from LBJ and Kobe.

Technically anything can happen but I shouldn't lose at this point.

Not trying to take sides since it doesnt affect me since I have no shot at winning but the ruling was chickenshit imho. I understand that technically you said whoever gets to 150 first, but personally I took that as the day people reached 150 whoever had the highest score would win. Im assuming most of the people participating did as well? I mean the current ruling renders a bunch of games tomorrow meaningless which seems pretty weak tbh.

I know. Logically, is as you said.

And it was as I always planned it. But I did something really stupid by not writing it somewhere and just putting "First to 150".
Oh well. I'm already planning the 2nd round, whoever wins this one is ok with me anyway.

If I score the games as they come, and everyone at the same time, you (but mainly VBM and ray ray) have a chance to win. The chance is small but it's there: When the time comes he scores 150 pts, if you (or VBM/ray) score as well 150 pts, I'll consider it a tie, and at the end of the day the winner will be the one with the more pts.
