Just wondering if there is anyone else here who does that
Not talking about fantasy football, or getting into the weeds with point spreads... just straight up picking winners and losers
I've been doing it for over 20 years for shits and gigs, no money involved its just for personal amusement... its just kinda fun to test my knowledge of how teams are doing [Reply]
You have a .656 win rate against a sample size of 166 games.
On weeks where there's 16 games, you're right on 10 of them.
On weeks where there's 15 games, you're right on 9 (almost 10) of them.
On weeks where there's 14 games, you're right on 9 of them.
You could reasonably put down $10 bucks a week on the 8 games, or hell, 5 games, you're most confident on and potentially do well. [Reply]

.656 is sounding kinda shitty, I need to pump those numbers up lol... thanks for the analysis [Reply]
I do a weekly $5 pick straight up winners pool. There’s like a hundred people in it. There is a weekly cash prize for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places and a big prize for season long 1st-3rd. I won it last year and pocketed like $2K. I suck this year. [Reply]
I have been picking games for fun and free contest for 10 years. The following link tracks all your picks straight up or vs spread. If you choose the fan button next to expert you'll find the best pickers. Then add to your favorites. I pay the $9/yr to see the top 10 in pros and college. My win percentage for the spread is less than 50% , hence it reminds me not to gamble. Though I'm picking all games not just a few.
ESPN's Pick Em is all I do with my normal fantasy league. Part of our transaction fees go to the top two finishers ($150 and $100 respectively). This season I'm one game out of first so far at 115-51.
Ranked 70th in the Chiefs fans group and 7,970 overall
Win totals by week are 13,7,8,9,10,14,13,11,10,10,10 [Reply]
I do in the office. It’s a lot of fun. Kinda cool to do something where everyone can participate. Lots of good shit talking when someone who doesn’t watch any football beat out the football diehards [Reply]
I used to, mostly in the office/work pool. Had a streak where I won the annual pool 6 years in a row. Probably averaged about 9 correct picks/week. Think the best I ever did was 13 or 14 correct picks in a week.
These days, I throw a $2 bet at a 7-8 game ML parlay every week. Last year I hit one 7-legger. But most of the time I'm wrong about 1-3 games/week. Last 4 weeks I've been wrong on about half/week. [Reply]
