I can't remember, but they had a big guy, can't remember his name, he started playing really well towards the end of the year, he was their key that season, it was a very good team(I hate to admit it)...

If I can brag, I have to tell about one of my worst beats, I took UCONN in the Final Four and that moron for Duke throws up a shot at the end and takes out the spread, I had that parlay crushed and I was bragging to my wife how I just made a bunch of money, she couldn't understand why I turned pale after he hit that bucket...

I'm SOOOO MEDIOCRE at picking pro football. Every year I get in a pool at a bar and restaurant here where you have to pick every game every week against the spread. I'M ALWAYS AT .500!!!! Just one year I wanna contend for the top ten who get prizes. Hell I'd love to be the worst, even the last place guy gets a prize. I vowed this year to really pay attention and study the games.
60 games played so far this year, and what am I against the spread in my pool? 30 wins 30 losses. ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the one I am in. We just pick the winner of each game, and then pick a tie breaker score on the Monday Night game. If their is a tie the closest who does not go over wins the pot. Then, at the end of the year they pay out to the top 3. $5 a week, with at least 30 people playing each week. Last year I won twice and finished 4th in the final standings. This year I have picked these many right - 10, 9, 8 and 8. Sucking this year.

Bet $2 (or whatever units your comfortable with in your wagering system) to WIN on the following horses and sit back and watch:

-X Star (10-1 ML)
-Bel Air Beauty (30-1 ML)
-Pro Pink (30-1 ML)
-Get Ready Bertie (20-1 ML)
-Gatorize (12-1 ML)
-Her Majesty (12-1 ML)

......it'll cost $12 (or whatever your units are) and you'll at least get even money and likely better if any of these fillies wins...

Good luck!

Hope you went ahead and did this.

And you can thank me for guaranteeing it for you. :p
