Thanks SBR and Prick and sponsors for running the contest. It was fun - certainly more fun because of my 3 weekly wins and final 13th place in the money finish.

My only disappointment came when my final week strategy didn't work out as well as I had hoped. Not surprising, though, considering the caliber of the competition. When I decided not to play in the final week, there were 5 players I could overtake if they got -3 or worse (for 1 of them, a -1 would do it) and there were 10 players who could overtake me - 5 needed 3 pts, 1 needed 4pts, and 4 needed a perfect 5.

I figured the probabilities and decided to pass in order to avoid falling out of the money with a -3 or worse. After being in 5th, then 6th, then 9th place in the final weeks, I wanted to be just about sure to collect something.

I guess my mistake was equating picks to coin flips when I figured the probs of passing and being passed by n players. As it turned out, my competetion far exceeded expected results based on coin flips - and exceeded the picks of the entire population of players in the final week.

What lessened my chances, also, was the fact that 2 of the 5 I could overtake didn't play and only 1 of the 10 who could catch me didn't play. The 12 who played were 23-11-2 on non-best bets and 8-3-1 on best bets. That is an impressive record and I guess I should feel lucky that only 4 passed me and I remained in the money.

Congrats to all - even to the ones who passed me - Doc JS, biggamer3, NESportsfan, and marke4.

Must be harder than it looks to copy and write an address

Guess everyone else got theirs and mine is the mail courier again. Like I said the other 2 times had the wrong address so my guess is no one changed it again. But we can use the old excuse of 10 business days.



Dont call you the PRICK for no reason.
