The Durito 500

[Archie]

Arch, my goal above all other goals is to win this challenge and do it at the current 60% clip throughout. Unrealistic, probably but it is still the goal. I should have included the 60% thing and gotten Durito to give me odds.

Wal, long term..... you hitting at 60% would be detrimental for you. I hope you don't hit that high for your own sake

I got lucky to even win 1 game tonight. If not for a very late run by Georgetown it would have been an 0-3 night.

I would follow but that would be the kiss of death for the 500.
it would turn into an Earnheartesque ending

Mikey I don't want you or anyone else to tail. Not because you are a jinx but because I have never made it past the opening week of conference play in college hoops before and I can't name a player other than Crosby in the NHL.

I am playing games and or listing plays for the challenge without looking at rosters, records, Top 25 standings, conference standings or even injury reports. I am using a program that is only looking at certain power rankings and a few minor stats and sometimes including a Pinny angle. I've made some quality choices and I've gotten some very lucky breaks. I am off to a good start but we are merely approaching 1/5 of the way there and it could all go to shit from here on.

Thanks Muddy and Monkey.

This feels kind of like a 4-4 kind of day but the problem is I can't feel which 4 is which.

[rito]

when would blackie cut him off, if he hit 60% with fully kelly $ of BR unit bettting?

 

[wal66]

I'm gonna go one more night playing the games that qualify pretty much blindly. There has been a very consitant and dominating trend with my program qualifiers, they are practically all road teams. I may have to incorporate something into the program soon that allows a sliding scale to the home courts for particular conferences and specific teams. A losing night tonight and that build starts immediately.

Today's Plays:

Northern Illinois +5 (-110)
North Texas -6.5 (-110)
Gonzaga -8.5 (-110)
Cal Poly SLO +3.5 (-110)
Webber St +2.5 (-110)
Northern Colorado -9.5 (-110)

All games are $100 to win $90.
