My highest streak was 10 but I forgot to check it one day and it magically went back to zero. Idk why though because I would sometimes forget it for a few days and come back to a streak of 3 or 4. I guess the higher your streak gets the more often you have to choose.

It is a monthly contest, so if you got up to 10 in January for example it does not carry over to when the new contest starts in February. You can pick as slowly or quickly as you like.

To the OP, I've played since the game started a couple of years ago. I got up to my highest streak ever at 21 last month and was tied at the top of the leaderboard with about 8 days left in the month. I picked Purdue at home to beat Michigan (they were -220 to win and a 5 point favorite) and they ended up missing several free throws and losing by 2. The person who was tied with me stayed away from the game and not only ended up winning the 50K, but got to 27 to win the 100K.

wow. any tips?

Main mistake that most people make is paying too much attention to the % that is picking either side of the matchup...I think the general population just looks at the record of the two teams being picked and makes the decision based upon that. I look more at the moneyline or point spread that vegas puts out as representative of what should be picked, and also look at Accuscore (it's a free app that simluates most major sporting matchups). After I get up to a streak of about 5 or so, I start getting a lot more selective of what I pick. Beware of the 9 hole golf prop and of soccer matches as they tend to be the biggest toss-ups. Other than that, it takes a lot of luck to get a really long streak going so don't be discouraged if it doesn't happen right away.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
