I would like to open up the floor for any constructive criticism as to how we could improve this thread. Right now it is pretty straight forward. Just common sense guidelines:

► When predicting an event's outcome, get the prediction in before the start of the event.

► Each correct prediction nets you 1 point.

► The posters are ranked in descending numerical order, with the highest percentage of correct predictions at the top.

► HONOR SYSTEM: I will do my best to check out the outcome of every prediction, but need to know that I can take you at your word.


I would like to propose a rule, but I want to see how everyone feels about it. Some people may abuse the thread by coming in and making one-off predictions to get a 100% rating and then never return. I posit that if you are at 100%, you must make at least 1 prediction every 30 days to remain active. Otherwise, you will be relegated to INACTIVE status. Thoughts?

You and I must have been on the same wave length LOL. What do you propose?

[MERIT] 12-31-2018 05:02 PM

How about it takes 10 predictions to enter the pool that qualifies for ranking? This will entice members to make predictions, as there is some kind of reward.

im pumped for the outback bowl tomorrow. Go Iowa! :pimp::dj:

No offense but I think Miss State is going to demolish Iowa.

Sweet

Good luck against Dallas!

Key 12-31-2018 06:52 PM

It's gonna be a fun playoffs seasons. Lots of great teams this year. We almost lost to the Cardinals but we pulled out a win again. Hawk's are definitely fighting. The team is looking pretty strong.

OccultHawk 12-31-2018 06:54 PM

I can’t believe Russell’s QBR. Best in the NFL. Goddamn if he ain’t a talented midget.

Key 12-31-2018 06:55 PM

He really is. Back when the Legion of Boom was a thing, the Hawks were unstoppable. 2 superbowls in a row and so close to winning both but one will do. I'd be happy with a solid playoffs game but if they make it into the superbowl again, I'll be happy. I'll be happy if anyone but the Patriots win tbf.

OccultHawk 12-31-2018 07:02 PM

Man when y’alls defense shut down manning that was crazy. Manning looked like he had Alzheimer’s

I don't know how to make it any more clear to you that you will not be allowed to participate in this thread until you formally acknowledge that what you said about me and my son was wrong, and you apologize for it. I have told you this numerous times in numerous threads and PM's, only for you to continue to act like a jerk and brush it off. Words are powerful and actions have consequences.

You clearly know a lot about sports betting and could add a lot of value to this thread, but if your 50+ years on this planet haven't taught you what is right to say and what isn't, and you aren't man enough to admit when you've crossed the line, then proceed to twiddle your thumbs. This is my final olive branch.

I understand your intent but you can't control who posts in the thread. It's not your journal. Probably best to keep this kind of thing off the boards.

Fluff, these were the results for your picks that I was able to find:

Leicester > Everton
Arsenal > Fulham
Cardiff > Tottenham
Aston Villa - QPR
Blackburn > West Bromwich

That puts you at 1/5. Since I'm not too familiar with your picks or that league, I'll let you give me the okay before updating :beer:

That was a really bad day but its 2/5, Arsenal beat Fulham and Tottenham beat Cardiff. Other than that yes it's fine.

Edit: I just realised I put Cardiff > Tottenham. I meant Tottenham > Cardiff.

1/5.

EDIT: NO IT'S 2/5, I THOUGHT YOU HAD LITERALLY QUOTE MY PREDICTIONS. IT'S 2/5. CARDIFF 0 - 3 TOTTENHAM.
