Week 11 Against the Spread Final Outcome & WINNERS

[DraftDodger]

Once again we have 2 people sharing top honors with 1600 credits won.

CONGRATS TO OUR TWO HIGHROLLERS!

e-man & joester

This turned out to be a very difficult week to beat the spread. Two of us bankrupted (that's what I get for opening my mouth about it not happening last week). Two people didn't follow the rules and are disqualified for this week. Evidently they picked up bad karma in the process, since both also bankrupted [and aren't included here].

Aside from our two highrollers, joester and e-man, only 2 of the remaining players had winning days, and only 2 more walked away with their original investment. Vegas beat 13 out of 19 players.

Special mention goes out to joester, with a two-week high of 3000, and to Slingblade, the only other person besides joester to win in both weeks.

The Totals:
1600 e-man, joester
1400 KnowNothing (guess he knew something this week)
1200 Slingblade
1000 dalej, Slowkidz
800 Kashikis, thechill, thelongestyard, Arlo, Fern
600 Homeless, Dazedncnfz, fntsyrookie, SuperCafone, petey
200 Guttpuppy

BANKRUPT DraftDodger, Catch 22

This was a tough week; let's hope we can bounce back next week and make Vegas pay out big time. Can joester come out ahead three weeks in a row? Can Kashikis and thelongestyard regain their top position? Can ANYONE break the 1600 credit barrier and possibly double their bets?

[slowkidz]

I would just like to take this time to thank Cleveland for helping me break even this week!! I guess two good things came out of their game, eh DUKE? hehehe

[Guttpuppy]

Dead last,man that hurts...at least I still have some pocket change.

[DraftDodger]

You weren't dead last, Guttpuppy. Catch 22 and I both lost all of our bets. I figure the only way to save face is to have a huge week next time.

[thelongestyard]

Good job to e-man and joester. Oh well, at least I am still above the break-even point. My picks must have thought I was using real money. As we gear up for next week, Good Luck!

Hehe, that does make you look like dead last Gutt.

[e-man]

Good thing this is just for bragging rights. I don't think the local radio station will be calling me for my weekly picks any time soon.

Thank you Draft Dodger for showing me I should not pick games for real. 2 weeks 2600 dollars not bad.

Lets just say, WE ain't Jimmy the Greek! Younger guys, just ask your dad, he will explain it to you.

[Catch 22]

So Embarrasing! LOL!

But alas, I will try again this week!

[DraftDodger]

I know what you mean, e-man. I've often been good at picking stocks for investment, but always as a paper game. In highschool we had to invest $2000 imaginary money in the stock market ... I bought Winnebago at $2 a share and sold it at $13 a share.

I bet a friend of mine a few years back that I could duplicate my success with real money, so I invested $1000 in Laser Power stock. The investment just kinda sat there, bouncing up and down for months, and finally I pulled out $1300 minus fees. Blech. Then the stock plummeted to 50 cents a share and I said, "Gee, I ought to reinvest." I didn't, and two weeks later the stock was back up at $5 a share. Ouch! Now I think the company is out of business, so I'm not sure if I should be happy I pulled out a little profit, sad that I didn't buy back into it, or relieved that my money didn't go down with the ship. I think I feel all 3.

[e-man]

Stocks......Now that is something I get into. The E-man wants to retire. America what a country!!!!!
